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

Framework Order After Goods Receipt

Hi,
I have a framework order which GR Non Valuated is checked and GR Bsd IV is unchecked. When goods receipt is performed, under PO history in the framework order, the value of the of the GR is shown as 0.
Is this standard in SAP? Am I right to say that this is the case because GR Non Valuated is checked? Amount will only be shown at IR instead.

Hi
Pl. Note that,As per SAP Best Practice,
For Framework Order with Item Category "B"....."GR Not Possible"
Only IR is possible.....
This details you can see in OLME ---> Define External Representation of Item Categories and go into details....

Sales Order for Goods with a Disposition for Disposal

Dear Friends
Please Provide information below concerning the requested change.
In some countries, we may use a disposal company that has an excise license. The disposal process would differ because the change of excise ownership would be triggered via the use of a sales order. This scenario would involve two key steps:
1) Assess the change of excise ownership as soon as goods with disposal disposition leave the plant/warehouse.
2) Record inventory depletion as soon as the disposal service provider advises us of the goodsu2019 destruction

Price Change in Framework Order for services, with Invoicing Plan

Hi All,
I create a F.O for a single item with Acct assignment"K" and Item Cat"D". The FO has two service masters with a common cost centre, with different tax codes. E.g.One with N2(19%) and the other with V0(0%). This FO is created with a periodic Invoicing plan.
When I run MRIS for the first month, the invoice is posted with the correct values.For the second month when I change the prices randomly for the services at the service level, the invoice is posted with wrong values.
But when I change the prices proportionately,e.g. for Serv1. from 100 to 200,300,400.. and for Serv.2. from 10 to 20,30,40.. respectively, the Invoices are calculated correctly.
Could you please reply the reason for such a system behaviour and also the possible solution or the OSS notes for this issue. I am working in version 4.7.
Thanks,
Suresh Natarajan.

Hi Steve,
1) The invoice is calculated at a random value and I couldn't make out the proportions.
2) Yes, the invoicing plan is Periodic with the Invoicing date as the last day of the month.The order is valid for 2 years(01.01.2007 TO 31.12.2009) and therefore in the invoicing plan of the PO, there will be invoices till 31.12.2009 with the Invoice Block. At the end of everymonth, the block will be removed for processing the Invoice(MRIS).During this time, if there is any change in the prices, we can change it and remove the Invoice Block and save the PO. Here when we change the prices randomly and execute the MRIS, it is throwing wrong values(i.e.the tax calculated is wrong)
Thanks,
Suresh.

Transfer Requirement for Goods Receipt Item

Hi All,
We are trying to create Transfer Order for Goods Receipt items using an ITS mobile application.We are using the function module L_TO_CREATE_TR to create Transfer Order by passing the Transfer Requirement from the Goods Receipt as an input to the function module. Our requirement is to create one Transfer Orde per Goods Receipt item. We need to create Transfer Order for the items simulatneously from different terminals.Since we have only one Transfer Requirement for the entire Goods Receipt document, we are not able to create Transfer Orders simultaneously because of the system lock (Transfer Requirement is locked).
Is it possible to create separate Transfer Rquirement for the individual items in the Goods Receipt via customizing/User exit.
Your guidance in this regard will be great help for us.
Regards,
Shaju

Hi Dirk,
Thank you for your reply.
Our enduser will be using handheld device for Transfer Order creation. The user will pick the GR item material from one storage type (902) and the Transfer Requirement will be locked at this moment.Later while placing the SU in destination bin the user will scan the destination bin and the Transfer Order will be created at the time of scanning. Till the completion of the entire process the Transfer Requirement will be locked and no one else can pick the materials of the same GR from 902 storage type.
We are trying to create Transfer Requirements for each Goods Receipt Item and we are not able to find any user exit in Goods Receipt Creation or any customizing option.
Can you please check and help us to resolve the same.
Regards,
Shaju

Good Receipt for Limit orders/Framework orders

Hello Guruz,
Is it possible to have GR for Limit orders/Framework orders?
Regards

Hello,
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 Account 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 controlled by tolerance keys LA and LD in the T.Code:OMR6 for your Company Code.
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.

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 : GR-based invoice and Goods receipt fields

Hello,
In our solution, framework orders (purchase orders type FO) have no goods receipt, they are directly invoiced.
However, when creating a purchase order (ME21N), the fields "GR-based invoice" (Invoice tab) and "Goods receipt" (Delivery tab) are flagged by default. We then have to "unflag" them each time we create a framework order (purchase order type FO).
In customizing, can these fields be "unflagged" by default for the purchase orders type FO?
Thanks for your answers.

Hi Shirley,
Go to Vendor master change(XK02/MK02)with whom you are creating the Framework order - Purchasing data, in that uncheck the check boxes for GR-based invoice and Goods receipt. Then save the vendor master. Then create the framework order.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Viswanath

Free Goods Sales Order for Charities with Credit Limit

Dear All
I have a scenario where POS (Point of Sales) has been implemented,the process of POS is ok,but the requirement of the client is they are giving some goods to charity,when ever a person comes with a special card (Issued by the company) the outlet will create a sales order for the same without any charges with a credit limit of 1000 SAR (saudi arabian riyal).
Requirement
1) Creation of sales order with delivering goods but without any charges.(should have effect in Stock)
2)These charities is been treated as Customer with a credit limit of SAR 1000 (whenever the credit limit exceeds system should block the order)
how this scenario can be mapped in SD,
Thanks in advance
Malik

Dear Malik
keep the process regular, which will help in blocking the charity customer when reached 1000 SAr at order level itself.
As customer need to be shown that he is not charged.
you can work on changing the display of output determination .
You can take the help of Ababer and display what ever client is asking for.
I think this may solve your query without disturbing you regular business process.

Split Charging for PO-Framework Order with Item category B- Blank Item

Hi,
how can i make the system split the qty percentage/charging for Framework Order ,Charge to Project and Item Category of B- Blank item during PO creation/change. This functionality is behaving normal for a standard PO charge to P and item category is standard.
we are using ecc6 and we dont use any material master..
Thanks in advance..
She

Hi,
This can be controlled through account assignment category,
In SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Account Assignment > Maintain Account Assignment Categories > Double click on account asignment category > Fill the field distribution according to your requirement.
During PO creation, in item details, account assignment tab, you can give the split.

Movement type for a goods receipt for u201CRelease order for a PRqRel"

There is an intercompany sales at our case. Plant B enters the customer order by VA01. The requirements rooting from the customer order are bought from plant A by Plant B. u201CRelease order for a stock transfer requisitionu201D is created automatically by entering the customer order and later using the TCode MD02. By this way Plant A can see the reauirements fort he customer order at Plant B. For the test purposes, I want to make a goods receipt for the u201CRelease order for a stock transfer requisitionu201D. The receipr will be at the Plant A but the customer order is at the Plant B. By the way, I have to point out that Plant A and Plant B are assigned to different company codes. How can I make the goods receipt? I cannot use 561 E. Because customer order belongs to differen company code. I fact, production should be done for this aspect but I donu2019t have enough experience for producing the goods by myself. Which movement type should I use for making a goods receipt for the u201CRelease order for a stock transfer requisitionu201D at Plant A?
Thanks in advance fort he answersu2026

Hi,
This is controlled by the schedule line category In VOV6.
Just check which category is used in your scenarion and change the movement type here. (I think your entry is NC)
They are determined by the item category and MRP type in SPRO - SD > Sales > Sales Documents > Schedule lines
