Framework purchase order

Hi experts,
What is meant by "Framework Purchase Order"?
What are the types of contract maintained in MM module?
Also, what is the difference in creating a purchase order for service contract and other contracts using BAPI?
Regards,
Shanthi

Hi,
A framework order is a purchase order with the document type FO in the standard system. It has an extended validity period instead of a specific delivery date.
Normally value contract or quantity contracts are maintained in MM. In value contract, the contract validity exists till that particular target value is reached; after that it expires. In quantity contract, the contract is valid upto the target quantity.

Issue with the Framework Purchase Order

Background: Using the Framework Purchase Order in the Plant Maintenance module for external operations:
When The Framework Purchase Order is used for external services procurement with service specifications, Purchase Requisitions are created based on the quantity of services requested against the Maintenance Order. Since I am using the service specifications, limits are not used in the Framework Order.
Problem:
The system does not do any check on the quantity that is requested for a service against that in the Framework Order. Hence the PRs get created linked to the Framework Order for whatever quantity requested in the Maintenance Order. Now the vendor submits the Service Entry sheets against those PRs released with respect to the Framework Order. That time the system does not allow the SES to be posted, because it exceeded the service quantity in the Framework order service specifications. In otherwords, there is no check against the framework order service quantity, when requisitions are released against the Framework order in the Maintenance Order. The check at the the time of SES is too late causing problems for mass creation of service entry sheets and also if external data entry is done for the SES by the vendor.
Is there any setting or configuration in SAP that helps to circumvent this issue? Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Nebu.

Hi
M_BEST_BSA and M_BEST_EKO are not set to CHECK -> Value "NO".
If the check is not set to the standard delivered SAP what is the value in SU24 ? Has it been changed to CHECK > YES or DO NOT CHECK ?
I am sure you are aware that SAP does not deliver all objects coded in the programme under AUTHORITY-CHECK Statement in the SU24 Indicators with a CHECK > YES that are in transaction ME28. SAP only deliver a fraction of the values in the proposal as YES and the rest must be maintianed by the security team as they are discovered to be relevant to your organisations need of the particular functions within the transaction.This will then keep PFCG updated with all the CHECK YES objects the next time you add transaction ME28.
In other words all the objects listed in SU24 ( that are CHECK ) for ME28 will all be coded in the programme somewhere but it depends on which bits of the functionality within ME28 you are using that determines if they are called.

Invoice Posting problem in Framework Purchase Order

Hi folks!!
I am trying to post invoice for framework order, but information in PO reference tab is appearing as grey so I cannot enter amount or G/L account there. how can I make this tab writable.
Best regards,

Hello Qamar
The problem may be that there is missing customizing for account assi. category 'U' in SPRO. In order to enter account assignment at MIRO you need to set indicator 'AA changeable at IR' (V_T163K-REUPD).
Check that !
Good luck!

Purchase order history not updated when invoice is posted for framework POs

Hi,
We've created a framework PO and now posted an invoice against it. The invoice was posted in the following way:
1. Go to transaction MIRO
2. Enter the PO number in the PO reference field.
3. Select the "G/L Account" tab and enter the value manually and also enter the amount at the header level and then post it.
But when I go back to the PO, I don't see the PO history tab and hence, the PO history is not visible.
Does anybody have an idea on any config that may be missing?
Any clues will be appreciated.
Regards,
Lakshmi

Hi
Did you refer to the same Framework purchase order while posting the invoice?
Invoice has been posted succesfully and number generated? If yes then check in MIR5/MIR6 the purchase order reference for that Invoice.
If everything is correct then you can see the IV number in PO history tab.
Thanks

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.

Hi Suresh
you can define the copying rules with the help of following customization.
SPRO>Purchasing > Purchase Requisitions > Text for Purchase requisitions > define copying rules.
define text types and linkages.
SPRO>Purchasing>purchase order>Text for purchase order
Define copying rules for header and item text for PO as per the 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
KK

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.

What is the use of Framework Order type purchase order ?

what is the use of Framework Order type purchase order ? How it differs from other regular type?

Hi,
The document type of Framework Order is "FO" .The regular use of document type for purchase order is "NB".The use of "NB" and "FO" Document type in Purchase order to differentiate the how your material behave or to have different different purchasing document.
Example:Document type "NB" have to the process like Goods Receipt,inoice receipt & payment .In the case of Document type "FO" no Goods Receipt required but IR and payment have to be done."FO"(Framework Order) only deals with low value item with validity period as well as the limits on value/price.
Hope helpful to you and then reward.

System status u2018I2202u2019 is used by object category DML (DML Object types - Master Data Framework) and status u2018I1817u2019 is linked to AUP (Audit Plan u2013 Audit Management).
Nevertheless, I am not able to tell what are those status for and if they are linked to purchasing documents.

I don't think so because those status have their own transaction control (double click onto system status number in BS23 transaction to display it).
So, eitheir manage status profile for user status, or manage your own system status with standard modifications.

Customized R12 Standard Purchase Order report with custom data and layout

Hi all,
We need to customize the seeded Purchase Order report in R12 to add an additional section to include cost data coming from our custom table. The key is that our customized report should be launched instead of the seeded report via various PO forms (e.g. View Document menu option, PO Communications form to email, fax and print PO, etc).
I manually set up a custom Document Type Layout for the Document "Standard Purchase Order" to use my customized template so my custom layout is shown instead of the R12 layout, but according to Oracle support the report can only draw data from a set of seeded Oracle views like po_headers_xml,po_lines_xml etc.
Any suggestions how we can add our custom data to PO report in R12?
Thanks! Mike.

Hi Mike
thats a tough one, the PO generation is a bit restrictive to say the least when it comes to customizing. It sounds like you have worked out how to get your own template in there to render the PO.
On the data front, all I can think of is to customize and replace the seeded PO view with one that incorporates your extra data.
Or, get into the page customization world and write your own extract and format concurrent program/procedure and then hook it onto the buttons where you want to launch it.
You might have more luch, response wise from the EBS PO forum.

Purchase Order with Invoice Plan

Hi,
I need to understand working with Invoicing plans for a Purchase Order. Especially the service PO for the rents and other related services.
How the PO is linked to the Invoice Plan and how the process happens in SAP?
Thanks in advance!

Creating an Invoicing Plan
The following procedure describes how to create an invoicing plan with the pre-Enjoy ordering transactions (ME21, ME22, ME23).
The procedure described is also applicable u2013 with certain restrictions u2013 to the Enjoy purchase order (ME21N, ME22N, ME23N).
If you are using the Enjoy purchase order, you will find:
·         The Invoicing Plan button and the indicators for GR-based invoice verification (GR-Based IV), service-based invoice verification (Srv.-Based IV), evaluated receipt settlement (ERS), and invoice receipt (Inv. Receipt) among the item details on the Invoice tab page.
·         The account assignment among the item details on the Account Assignment tab page
·         The Goods Receipt and GR Non-Valuatedindicators among the item details on the Delivery tab page
Prerequisites
Vendor Master Record
Before you can use the invoicing plan with automatic settlement, the Evaluated Receipt Settlement Delivery indicator must be set on the Purchasing Data screen in the vendor master record.
(If you wish to enter invoicing dates manually, this is not necessary.)
Purchase Order
●     We recommend using a framework order (that is a purchase order with a validity period and a reason for rejection). The invoicing plan can adopt the validity period specified in the PO header.
●     PO items for which you wish to use an invoicing plan must have account assignment irrespective of whether a material with a master record, a material described by a short text, or an external service is involved.
●     The GR/IR control facility must be set up in such a way that no goods receipt (or, in the case of services, no service entry) is expected - only an incoming invoice. If you wish to have automatic settlement, you must also set the Evaluated Receipt Settlement indicator.
If you nevertheless wish to allow service entry sheets for the item (e.g. for information purposes only), you must set the GR Non-Val. indicator.
Customizing
Under Purchase Order à Invoicing Plan in Customizing for Purchasing, you can maintain data such as the desired invoicing plan types, date categories, and date descriptions.
Procedure
       1.      Create a purchase order with account assignment (framework order).
Click to access the item overview (or the overview of service lines if you chose item category D for services).
       2.      Enter the desired material or service, the quantity, and the price.
       3.      Select the desired item and click Account Assignments to access the account assignment screen. Enter the account assignment for this item.
       4.      Click to access the item detail screen. Check that the GR/IR control indicators are set correctly on the item detail screen.
○     The GR and GR-Based Invoice Verification or Service-Based Invoice Verification indicators must not be set.
○     IR must be set.
○     You must set ERS if you wish to have Evaluated Receipt Settlement.
○     If you wish to have service entry sheets purely for information, for example, allow non-valuated goods receipt (i.e. select the GR Non-Val and GR indicators).
       5.      Choose Item ® Invoicing Plan. A window appears, in which the invoicing plan types predefined in Customizing are suggested. Choose the desired invoicing plan type and click Continue.
You can use the following invoicing plan types:
○     Periodic Invoicing Plan
■      You use the periodic invoicing plan if the total value of the PO item is to be invoiced in each period.
■      The system creates the invoicing dates automatically on the basis of the settings in Customizing.
■      The invoicing date and the amount to be invoiced are shown for each settlement period (e.g. month). In the case of the periodic invoicing plan, the amount represents the total value of the PO item.
■      You can change the suggested dates and block individual dates for automatic invoicing if necessary.
■      You can enter the start and end dates for the invoicing plan.
■      With the Dates from and Dates to fields, you can determine that an invoicing plan does not contain invoicing dates extending over the entire validity period of the purchase order but only for a certain period within that validity period. (E.g. within a validity period from 1.1. to 12.31, only dates within the period 1.1. to 06.30.)
■      With the Horizon field, you control how far into the future dates can be created. If you enter a date rule that adds six months to the current date here, invoicing dates will be created for just half a year in advance in each case.
The system automatically creates new dates if you change the invoicing plan or when you invoke the transaction for Updating Periodic Invoicing Plans. See Generating Further Invoicing Plan Dates
■      The In Advance indicator allows you to specify whether the invoice is to be created with regard to a prior or subsequent period. (E.g. at the beginning of February, either in advance for the month of February or in arrears for the month of January).
■      In addition, fields with information on the existing invoicing plan are displayed (e.g. the calendar upon which the date determination process is based).
○     Partial Invoicing Plan
■      You use the partial invoicing plan if the total value of the PO item is to be invoiced in several partial amounts.
■      You get an empty date overview in which you can manually enter the desired dates.
■      If you work with a reference invoicing plan, the system automatically generates dates in accordance with the reference plan.
You have the following options:
●      You create a reference invoicing plan in Customizing for the invoicing plan type.
●      You enter an existing invoicing plan as reference plan directly in the invoicing plan for the PO item.
■      You can flag a date in field B (Billing/Invoicing Rule) as follows:
●      As a down payment (percentage or value)
●      As an invoicing date (percentage or value)
●      As a final invoice
       6.      Click to return to the item overview.
       7.      Click to save the purchase order item with the invoicing plan.
You can then start the automatic invoice creation process during invoice verification.
For more information, refer to the section Settlement of Amounts Due Under Invoicing Plans.
Once assigned to an item, the invoicing plan type (e.g. partial invoicing plan) cannot be changed. If you wish to assign a different invoicing plan type, you must delete the item and create a new one.
Generating Further Invoicing Plan Dates
If you have assigned a periodic invoicing plan to a PO item but have not initially defined invoicing dates covering the entire validity period of the purchase order, you can generate further dates in due course.
You have created a PO item with a periodic invoicing plan for a certain planned procurement. The purchase order is valid from 1.1. to 12.31. When creating the invoicing plan, you specified one invoicing date per month for the first half of the year. You have not yet planned any dates for the second half of the year because you do not wish information from the invoicing plan to be passed on to purchase order commitments at this stage, for example.
By mid-June, it is clear that the PO is to proceed as envisaged, and you therefore wish to schedule invoicing dates for the remainder of its validity period.
Procedure
To schedule further invoicing dates, proceed as follows:
Choose Purchase order ® Follow-on functions ® Period. invoicing plan
Specify the purchase orders for which invoicing dates are to be generated in the invoicing plan and perform the function.
A log can be created if desired.
Result
The system adds further dates on the basis of information such as the validity period or horizon from Customizing, the purchase order, and the invoicing plan.

indranil

Purchase Orders form in Query Only mode for a single user

Hi All,
I want to make the Purchase Orders form as query only for a single user. I tried by giving 'Query_only=Yes' in the parameters section. I am getting 'FRM-04151: You cannot query records here' message more than 10 time. I know we get this message and this is applicable to all the users. But this message is comming more than 10 times.
Is there anyway that I can restrict the Query only mode to a single user and please suggest about the message also.
Thanks in Advance,
Naresh
