Framework order validty period

Hi
I have a Framework order that was made out in 2005 with validy period 01.07.2005 - 30.07.2006. Despite the fact that the validity period has past we can still post goods receipt.
Can anyone suggest me if we have any message to control this?
Regards!

Hi,
I dont think we have a message class as "M6".
Can you tell me whether validity functionality works for regular material purchases also.
regards

  • Framework Order validy period

    Hi there,
    I have a Framework order that was made out in 2005 with validy period 01.07.2005 - 30.07.2006. Despite the fact that the validity period has past we can still Invoice Verify against this purchase order. What is the reason for this? And how can I block this from happening?
    Regards!

    HI,
    This validity period is for receiving materials against the perticular framework order.You will not be able to make GR against the frame work order outside the validity period but you can do invoice verification.
        Depending on the no of days tolerence you provide, system will block the invoice for payment.
    If you still want that no invoice can be verified against the framework order out side the validity period we need to have enhancements.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • What is the diffrence between a blanket PO and a Framework order?

    What is the diffrence between a blanket PO and a Framework order?

    Hi
    You have to use document type Frame work order for Blanket PO.
    You can use blanket purchase orders to procure consumable materials or services for which it is not worth creating a separate purchase order for each procurement transaction. 
    Blanket purchase orders are usually valid for a longer period of time. You can directly post the invoices for the materials and services procured for this blanket purchase order.

  • To fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D for Framework Order.

    The use of framework orders (also referred to as blanket purchase orders)  enables you to procure a variety of materials or services from a vendor up to a predefined maximum value (the value limit).
    Instead of a specific delivery date, you specify a validity period for the order.
    Goods receipts or the entry and acceptance of services performed are not necessary in the case of a framework PO and limit items.
    The invoices are posted directly with reference to the purchase order, provided that the specified value limit is not exceeded. When the value limit of the PO is reached, or the validity period is exceeded, the system issues a warning message. It is possible to book the invoices, but these are blocked for payment.
    During the phase of service performance, the cumulative u201Cactual" values (for the services actually performed) are continually updated in the underlying purchase. This enables you to monitor the progress of a procurement project on an ongoing basis. By comparing the "actual" value with the total value, you can always obtain an overview of the degree to which a budget for unplanned services or materials has been exhausted (i.e. see whether predefined limits have been reached or nearly reached).
    So with the Framework Order type (FO) and item category u201CBu201D you get the error that it is not allowed to fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D.
    Please suggest me the possible solution to fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D for Framework Order.
    Best Regards,
    Harisha

    The Framework order type is specialy defined for lesser value procurements (ex: stationeries, cleaning services ....) which are all not worthy to create Material Master at all.
    If you are very sure to fill the Material number, then proceed with some other document type.
    In what circumstances you want to put material number in FO order?

  • Framework order with reference to  contract

    Dear All,
    We make a service contract in which we maintained the short text and Qty as 1 AU in the item overview area and we maintained services in the "Services" tab in the "Item details" area.(We maintained actual quantity in this area)
    Now we are creating a Framework order with reference to this contract . When we select services against this contract , system is copying all the service details from contract but qty as 1 AU.
    Why system is not copying the quantity mentioned in the contract (Services tab, item details area) into the framework order ????
    Nilesh

    What ever Order you are creating W.r.to Contract , it may be Frame work or Purchase Order..
    they are considered as Release order against that Contract..
    a contract is agreement between two parties for a perticular period..
    System will not expect you to use the entire Quantity at Once..
    That is why the Quantity mentioned in the Contract will not be copied..
    By default you will get Qty as 1...
    You need to change according to your requirement..

  • Blanket Purchase Order and the Framework Order

    hi Gurus,
    I wanted to know the following.
    What is the difference between Blanket Purchase Order and the Framework Order.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Framework order is also known as Blanket PO.....which we use for the procurement of Low value Material with Long term planning....It is used as Mini Contract....
    Blanket Order:
    Used for long validity period and with the provided value limit. By its name u201Cblanketu201D which covers to required long time? We use doc type FO(for long period) and item cat. B(for value limit).Goods receipts or the entry and acceptance of services performed are not necessary in the case of a blanket PO and limit items. The invoices are posted directly with reference to the purchase order, provided that the specified value limit is not exceeded. But manual entry of invoiced amount and invoiced quantity is required during LIV process.
    Example: Procurement of stationary items.
    Frame work order:
    Framework order (FO) is a document type which is provided by the standerd SAP.
    It can be used for the consumable material ( Which is having low value & where making GR is not of worth like C category item.) & called as blanket PO. Here we need to mntion the validity period & target value or quantity as a restriction as well as need to mention item category as a "b".
    Also it can be used for the procurement of extarnal services (Item category "D" ). Here we need to do the entry of services which have been performed & need to accept the same whereas in blanket PO, GR is not required.
    At the end i would tel u that Framework order is the document type which can be used as blanket Po & procurement of services.
    Regards

  • Blanket purchase order and Framework order?

    Dear Gurus,
    what are the main differences between Blanket purchase order and Framework order?
    Thanks..

    Framework order is also known as Blanket PO.....which we use for the procurement of Low value Material with Long term planning....It is used as Mini Contract....
    For making Blanket PO....you have to choose Order type: FO in ME21N....with Item category "B"(Limit)
    For creating Blanket PO... You need not have to maintain material master.....Maintaining Acc.assignment Category in PO is mandatory....also you have to maintain Validity Period in Blanket PO...
    As per SAP Best Practice.....for Blanket PO, GR is not possible.....you can directly post multiple Invoices for One Blanket PO....The validity and total Value of these Invoices for Blanket PO during LIV can be controled by tollerance keys LA and LD.

  • Commitment report for limit order - by period

    I am not sure whether this query should falls under this category or Finance. So, please let me know if you think that this question should be moved to the Finance section.
    Anyway, my query is I have created a limit/framework purchase order from period 01.10.2008 to 31.11.2008. The delivery date is set to 01.10.2008 by default by the system. When I run the cost center commitment report for period 01.10.2008 to 31.11.2008, I can see the commitments for this PO. However, if I change the period to be from 01.11.208 to 31.11.2008, the commitments are no longer shown on the report. It seems that the system is using the delivery date as the date to show the commitments. Is it correct to say that this is standard behavior? Is there a way to show the commitments running through the validity period set in the PO rather than by the delivery date? Anyone has other options relating to this?
    Interested to hear your comments on this.
    Cheers!
    SF

    hi,
    As per my knowledge the delivery date shown by the system comes from the planned delivery date entered at the material master record...You can check the MMR in MM03...
    Pls check ....this would be the one reason...
    hope it helps..

  • Framework Order.

    Hi,
    I have a situation:
    The production order creates few purchase requisitions (from external processing key), these requisitions are standard and they do not have a material number. Its for a service we need to purchase.
    It is easy to take these requisitions and convert them into one PO and work with it. But, my client does not want to use a PO. He wants to use a framework order. Is there any way we can connect these requisitions to a framework order?
    Looking forward to your answers.
    Will give points to answers that are helpful.
    Thanks.

    Hi Sandeep,
    Frame work order is again a type a PO.This is used as a blank PO for a service to be done throughout a period. so ur clients requirements is correct.
    what we can do just create a frame work PO by selecting the corresponding document type in ME21n and select the item as limits.
    Now for the material we can enter just a description of the service to be done on the description tab since we are going to assign this to a cost center.
    if needed even material group can be given .
    and also enter the upper and lower limit of the value of the  service that can be done once with the overall limit of the order in the item detail tab limits.
    enter the cost centre and gl account no.
    for this we can directly post the invoices, no GR or service acceptance entry.no account assignment should be there in PO.
    while doing IV systems checks for the validity period and overall limit of that PO
    hope this will give u idea
    regards

  • Framework order/blanket order

    HI All,
    I need help about frame work order. Before writing this thread , I did lot of search for answer but I am not successful in finding resolution hence this post.
    I have created framework order; doc type FO. Item cat = B, For testing purpose , I entered validity dates as 21 nov and 22 nov in the PO. Now when I try to post invoice with invoice date (as well as posting date) as 11/23, system accepts without giving any error or warning about exceeding validity period. i.e. system is not stopping from posting invoice..! so what is the effect of validity dates on the invoice posting?
    Another important issue is that , in the invoice I am not able to enter invoice amount. For this issue I searched a lot but there is no statisfactory answer. I know very well that on the MIRO screen , I need to click on the account assignment button and enter the amount. However while entering this amount, system asks for G/L account which I can not enter as it is grayed out. So not sure how to enter invoice for the framework order. Is there any config settings?
    I did this testing after maintaining tolerance limits "LA-Amount of blanket purchase order" and "LD-Blanket PO time limit exceeded"  in the config. For LA key I set up upper limit as say 1%. For LD I am not sure what to put so I put 1 in check limit field.
    Please help me on this issue.
    Thanks,
    Ritesh

    Hi Ritesh,
       The Invoice for the Framework order should be posted same as we post invoice for other doc types.
    The Acct assignment should be entered at the time of invoice only if there is multiple acct assignemnet OR the acct assignment category U-Unknown is selected in the PO.
    The Tolerance limitis LA and LD will help you block the invoice for payment.

  • Framework order (blanket purchase order)

    Hi SAP consultants,
                                  can aanybody give me the senario of framework purchase order.
    i tried but it shows error " gr indicator is on " also it asks pricing conditions which you do not mention in it.
    best regards
    sandeep

    Hi,
    For consumable materials such as Pen, paper & pencil for your office or electrode for welding of a machine(not required regularly) for with a short text in the Purchase Order (does not need to have Master Record) with Item Category ' B' i.e.limit, where in the PO validity period as well as the limits are to be mentioned for the simplicity of procurement. The doc type for PO is 'FO' (Framework Order).
    The GR or Service Entry for the PO are not necessary in this as well as one need not to mention the account assignment category during creation of PO it can be 'U'-unknown & can be changed at the time of invoice verification..
    The purchasing process will follow the same procedure as outlined in the Regular Purchase Order process above, except the invoices will be paid using the FB60 transaction. When paying the invoice, the Framework Order number must be entered in the Reference field.

  • Framework Orders for Goods

    Hi !
    Framework orders continue to confuse me.
    Question1:
    I think I understand how Framework Order work with Item Categories B and D.
    However, I cannot think of a scenario when a FO can be used for materials (item category = space, with or without account assignment i.e. inventorized or expensed).
    If someone can give some examples, that would be great.
    Question2:
    Item Categories B and D can be used with a regular NB PO. So, it appears that the only thing a FO provides, that a regular NB PO does not provide, is a validity date range. Everything else that a FO can do, a NB can do too. Am I missing something?
    Question3:
    Is there something different in SAP called the 'Blanket Order', or is a 'Blanket Order' simply another word for a Framework Order?
    Thanks for all your help!
    Regards,
    Anisha.

    Hi
    1. Frame work Order FO needs account assignment so it cannot be used for inventorized material.
    Yes it can be used for consumables wherein u think that releasing a PO every time might be costly compared to utility of the product for e.g for office stationary loe pens,staplers etc - no need to issue PO every month , u can issue a FO for one complete year.
    2. An FO provides a validity period as well as no GR is possible. U directly enter invoices . System checks that invoice date and value should fall within the allowed space
    3. FO and blanket purchase order are same
    another advantage is that u can use accnt assnmnt cat U during making of an FO and can enter multiple accnt assnnts at invoicing

    In SAP, Blanket Purchase Orders refer to the business process where you have a Purchase Order with a validity period (start / end date) and a limit on the item. No Goods Receipt takes place. Payment is triggered by Invoice.
    no Goods Receipt (GR) will take place, the GR indicator is switched off when the item category B is selected.
