Fund Centre VS Purchasing Group.. Transaction: ME51, ME52, ME51N, ME52N etc

Hello Friends,
I have a scenario where in I need to pull fund center from one of my custom table based on the Purchasing group maintained against each line item in PR / PO.
Unfortunately I am unable to achieve to met this requirement because of unavailability of exact user exits.
I tried to map this functionality through BADI = IF_EX_ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST~PROCESS_ITEM with below code and it worked also. But unfortunately this works in endless loop until I change the fund center back to it initial value.
Code in BADI mentioned above:
DATA: l_preq TYPE mereq_item.
IF sy-tcode = 'DESIRED'.
    CALL METHOD im_item->get_data
      RECEIVING
        re_data = l_preq.
    SELECT SINGLE fistl
            FROM ZCUSTOM_TABLE
            INTO l_preq-fistl
      WHERE ekgrp = l_preq-ekgrp
       AND werks = l_preq-werks.
    CALL METHOD im_item->set_data
      EXPORTING
        im_data = l_preq.
ENDIF.

Hi Raja.....
Sure.. I mean that until I change back the value of fund center to its initial value,, till that time somehow process itself moves this in an endless loop. When forcefully I change value of Fund center which was initial value then it moves forward and take me to initial screen of PR creation.
Also I would recommend not to only focus on this BADI.. Rather if there is any other answer to this issue.. You are most welcome..
Thanks,

Purchasing group transacting for multiple purchasing organizations

Hi,
I have a requirement in which i have certain purchasers defined as purchasing groups in my organizational structure. However, these purchasing groups perform sourcing transactions (e.g., bid invitation, auction) for multiple purchasing organizations. In the organizational structure, these purchasing groups are created under an organizational unit that isn't defined as a purchasing organization. They appear "free-floating" since they are not assigned to a particular purchasing organization.
In sourcing transactions (e.g., bid invitation, auction), the list of purchasing groups from which I can choose from depends on the purchasing organization I select. Is there a way to include the "free floating" purchasing groups in the drop-down list?
Thanks and regards,
Joy

Hi Joy,
Its difficult to have a P.Grp with out a P.Org assignment.
My idea would be:
Assign this P.Grp to one of the P.Orgs (lets say POrg1). Add the entire root as the responsibility of this P.Grp.
When the Purchasers in this P.Grp create a Bid Invitation, the POrg1 will be defaulted always.
At the time of saving the Bid Invitation, use the "BBP_PGRP_ASSIGN_BADI" BADI to overwrite POrg1 value with any other POrg you desire.
You may test it out.
Cheers,

Hierarchal Report for Fund Centre Hierarchy/Group for Total Records

Hello Gurus,
I need to check if there is some Hierarchal report in FM which displays the data as per my Funds Centre Hierarchy or group. Like there is a report in Cost Centre Accounting (S_ALR_87013611) which displays the figures according to different grouping on the left hand side of the screen.
In FM report for example if I will go to - FMB_PT01 - Totals Records report and populate the Funds Centre Group then system populates the report for the relevant funds centres in that group individually but do not group the figures logically as per the group structure like we have in Cost Centre Reporting.
Please advise if there is any such kind of report or is there any possibility of creating a report painter/writer or we need to go for fully customized report.
Thanks in Advance!
Regards
Rohit

Hi,
This is a standard feature with Report Painter reports. S_ALR_87013611 is a Report Painter report in library 1VK report 1SIP-001. There are 4 standard FM reports in Report Painter library 4FM. You can also define your own FM reports under library 4FM. Please see the link below on how to create a report:

Fetching Purchase Group from ME51N and populating Fund Center accordingly

Hi,
we have created a custom table for two fields, 1. EKGRP and 2. Fund Center
In transaction ME51N, when a use enters a purchasing group (EKGRP) in the grid, I need to populate the fund center in account assignment tab by selecting values from a custom table.
I am using the exit SAPLFMDT for the same.(SMOD).
When I change the fund ceneter manually at runtime, it is getting changed, but i dont have the value of EKGRP in the exit. I even tried to find any BAdIs related, but none of them are passing the EKGRP field.
Please let me know any way if possible to get the values entered in the grid?

The functional person suggested a workaround, but its still not resolved.

Derivation of fund center based on purchasing group

Hi,
It is required to determine the fund center based on purchasing group (during PR creation). I have gone through one thread which suggests inclusion of the field EKGRP into FMDERIVE, then to COBL.
However I was trying to check whether it can be done through table lookup using field USERTEMP1 and assigning the same to EKGRP. But in the table lookup screen, the upper part contains the fields BANFN (Purchase Requisition Number) and BNFPO (Item Number of Purchase Requisition) which need to be assigned to source fields. I am not sure what source fields should be assigned and how it will work.
Request your input in this regard.
Thanks in advance!
Snigdho.

What are the Mandatory Fields in Transaction ME51

Hello Seniors,
I have a requirement about purchase order creation. In this process, I am using the BAPI named " BAPI_PO_CREATE1 ". I have passed all the fields but when I debug and look into the internal tables, I couldn't find certain records. I even debugged " bapiret2" and I see an error which reads "" All mandatory fields are missing"". I have even created a PO in ME51 and found out the mandatory fields but in vain. BAPIRET2 still says, there are some more mandatory fields missing. I need to know what are all the mandatory fields to create a Purchase order using TCODE - ME51.
Your reply is most awaited and rewarded.
Thanks and Regards,
MARKIV

hi ,
Functionality
Function module BAPI_PO_CREATE1 enables you to create purchase orders. The BAPI uses the technology behind the Enjoy purchase order transaction ( ME21N).
Alternatively, the IDoc type PORDCR1 is available. The data from this IDoc automatically populates the interface parameters of the function module BAPI_PO_CREATE1.
Functionality in Detail
Authorization
The following authorization objects are checked when an Enjoy purchase order is created (activity 01):
M_BEST_BSA (document type in PO)
M_BEST_EKG (purchasing group in PO)
M_BEST_EKO (purchasing organization in PO)
M_BEST_WRK (plant in PO)
Controlling adoption of field values via X bar
For most tables, you can determine via your own parameters in the associated X bar in each case (e.g. PoItemX) whether fields are to be set initial, values inserted via the interface, or default values adopted (e.g. from Customizing or master records) (for example, it is not mandatory to adopt the material group from an underlying purchase requisition - you can change it with the BAPI).
Transfer
Header data
The header data of the Enjoy purchase order is transferred in the table PoHeader.
Item data
The item data of the Enjoy purchase order is stored in the table PoItem (general item data). The delivery schedule lines are stored in the table PoSchedule.
Use the table PoAccount to specify the account assignment information. If account assignments have been specified for services and limits, you show the relevant account assignment line in PoAccount in the table PoSrvAccessValues via the package number of the service or the limit.
Services and limits
Services, free limits and limits with contract reference can be specified in the tables PoServices, PoLimits, and PoContractLimits.
Conditions
Conditions are transferred in the table PoCond; header conditions in the table PoCondHeader. Price determination is reinitiated via the parameter CALCTYPE in the table PoItem.
Vendor and delivery address
The vendor's address can be specified individually in the table PoAddrVendor; the delivery address in the table PoAddrDelivery. If you do not make any individual specification, the fields will be populated via the central address managementfacility.
Note
In this method, the following restrictions apply with regard to addresses:
Addresses can only be created with this method - they cannot be changed. You can only change address data with the method BAPI_ADDRESSORG_CHANGE.
When you create addresses, they are not checked by the method. An Enjoy purchase order may therefore contain faulty address data.
Partner roles
The partners can be maintained individually via the table PoPartner (with the exception of the partner role "vendor").
Import/export data
Import/Export data can be specified per item in the table PoExpImpItem. Foreign trade data can only be transferred as default data for new items.
Texts
Header and item texts can be transferred in the tables PoTextHeader and PoTextItem. Texts for services are imported in the table PoServicesText.
Version Management
You can make use of the Version Management facility via the table AllVersions.
Return
The PO number is returned in the parameter ExpPurchaseOrder. In addition, all information except the service and export/import tables is placed in the output structures.
Return messages
Messages are returned in the parameter Return. This also contains information as to whether interface data has been wrongly or probably wrongly (heuristical interface check) populated. If a PO has been successfully created, the PO number is also placed in the return table with the appropriate message.

Help in the Case of Problems
1. Note 197958 lists answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs). (Note 499626 contains answers to FAQs relating to External Services Management.)
2. If you have detected an error in the function of a BAPI, kindly create a reproducible example in the test data directory in the Function Builder (transaction code SE37). Note 375886 tells you how to do this.
3. If the problem persists, please create a Customer Problem Message for the componente MM-PUR-PO-BAPI, and document the reproducible example where necessary.
Customer Enhancements
The following user exits (function modules) are available for the BAPI BAPI_PO_CREATE1:
EXIT_SAPL2012_001 (at start of BAPI)
EXIT_SAPL2012_003 (at end of BAPI)
The following user exits (function modules) are available for the BAPI BAPI BAPI_PO_CHANGE:
EXIT_SAPL2012_002 (at start of BAPI)
EXIT_SAPL2012_004 (at end of BAPI)
These exits belong to the enhancement SAPL2012 (see also transaction codes SMOD and CMOD).
There is also the option of populating customer-specific fields for header, item, or account assignment data via the parameter EXTENSIONIN.
Further information
1. Note 197958 contains up-to-date information on the purchase order BAPIs.
2. If you test the BAPIs BAPI_PO_CREATE1 or BAPI_PO_CHANGE in the Function Builder (transaction code SE37), no database updates will be carried out. If you need this function, please take a look at Note 420646.
3. The BAPI BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL serves to read the details of a purchase order. The BAPI cannot read all details (e.g. conditions). However, you can use the BAPI BAPI_PO_CHANGE for this purpose if only the document number is populated and the initiator has change authorizations for purchase orders.
4. Frequently used BAPIs for purchase orders are BAPI_PO_CREATE, BAPI_PO_CREATE1, BAPI_PO_CHANGE, BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL, BAPI_PO_GETITEMS, BAPI_PO_GETITEMSREL, and BAPI_PO_GETRELINFO.
5. For more information on purchase orders, refer to the SAP library (under MM Purchasing -> Purchase Orders) or the Help for the Enjoy Purchase Order, or choose the path Tools -> ABAP Workbench -> Overview -> BAPI Explorer from the SAP menu.

Fund Centre Set Hierarchy

Problem when attempting to update the Fund Centre hierarchy to include new fund centres in the report painter reports.
I am using transaction FMRP_FC_SET_HIER program RFFM_CREATE_FC_SET_HIER with options, set hierarchy type = Fund centre group hierarchy and conflicting set handling = Overwrite the whole hierarchy. The message received is
"Conflicting set found - hierarchy not created".
Sets with same name exist in another hierarchy
Message no. SETHIER000
Diagnosis
One or more sets that you want to create already exist in the database (same name, same class), and are located in hierarchies other than the one being created.
A set hierarchy is identified by the name and class of the uppermost set record. You can only override a conflicting set hierarchy by defining a set hierarchy with the same uppermost set record.
System response
The requested set hierarchy is not created, and the conflicting sets already in the database are not modified.
Procedure
Use transaction SE16 to identify the conflicting set elements in table SETHEADER, using one of the following two options:
1. If a set is no longer needed, you should delete it, for example, using a report to delete the entire set hierarchy in all relevant tables, so that no "orphaned" sets remain. Then run the report again to create the set hierarchy.
2. You can decide not to override the conflicting sets, but instead to change the name of the sets being created by modifying the prefix in the selection screen. This will however only work for a "General Set Hierarchy", not for a "Group Set Hierarchy".
Can someone explain in detail how to perform option 1?
The top nodes in the 2 conflicting hierarchies are 4BFC_000_0000 and a hierarchy seemingly set up as a general set hierarchy 4BFC_MCC1_000_0000.

Hi Kate,
Using Tcode GS01, you can create a set hierarchy
Say you want to extract an existing hierarchy from an SAP R/3 system and load it into BW so you can present your reports in a hierarchical way. For example, by loading a cost center hierarchy into BW, you could show expenses at the top node and then drill down to the lower nodes to see the details.
Although standard Business Content extractors support main hierarchies (e.g., cost center, general ledger [G/L] account, material, plant, work center), they do not support all hierarchies in the R/3 source system, such as Treasury Cash Management. In this case, SAP does not provide a standard DataSource to link R/3 hierarchies to BW.
So what are your options? In my example of working in Treasury Cash Management, you could define hierarchies for planning levels and create your own ABAP program to extract the data from R/3, send it to a flat file, then upload the flat file into BW via a custom DataSource, a multistep process. This is what I call the traditional method.
I developed a workaround that allows you to bypass the step of creating a flat file and extract directly from R/3 in a single step, like any Business Content DataSource. My workaround combines two different standard SAP mechanisms: the generation of a hierarchy DataSource on the R/3 IMG side and the user exit EXIT_SAPLRSAP_004 on the R/3 side. I tested this workaround with BW 3.5 and plug-in (PI) 2004-1, but it also works with BW 2.0B with PI 2002-1 and later.

Update purchasing group in scheduling agreements

Hi gurus,
I'm trying to update purchasing group field in scheduling agreements, which are time-independent (EKKO-STAKO = ' ').
In my environment, I'm not authorized to use CALL TRANSACTION statement.
If possible, I'd need a way that works both in 4.6c and 6.0 versions.
I have tried several options, but none works:
-BAPI_SAG_CHANGE: "Scheduling agreements with time-independent conditions are not supported" (OSS note 1046794) (Also, this is not available in 4.6c)
-BAPI_SCHEDULE_MAINTAIN: "Scheduling agreements with time-independent conditions are not supported" (OSS note 1046794) (Also, this is not available in 4.6c)
-BAPI_AGREEMENT_MAINTAIN: Does not have the possibility to change field 'purchasing group'. (Moreover, it internally performs a CALL TRANSACTION).
-ME_UPDATE_AGREEMENT_PO: I've been not able to change field 'purchasing group'.
I'd be grateful about any hint. Thanks in advance!

In case it is useful for anyone else, I have solved the problem using:
CALL FUNCTION 'ME_UPDATE_DOCUMENT'
Thanks anyway!

Show Purchasing group Field in UI for Create Limit Item

Hello All,
Do you if there is a way without modifying the templates to show Purchasing Group in UI for Create Limit Items in SRM 4.0 ( Classic Scenario)?
-thanks in advance
Shilpa

Hi
Yes. Without modifying the HTML Templates of the Internet Service - BBPSC01,
This is possible by adding a custom field at the Shopping cart item level in the structure. There is no such limitation on the number of customer fields added.
Refer to the following SAP OSS notes
Note 458591 - User-defined fields: Preparation and use
Note 672960 - User-defined fields 2
Refer this link for details ->
Add custom field in SC -Item Level
Which SRM version are you using ? What's your Business requirement ?
Incase you want to transfer some data from catalog to Shopping cart.. you can get this done by using BADI.
Try BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI
BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI
using SE18 Transaction.
Do let me know.

Purchase Group Problem

I have created a PR. But while creation the PO with reference to that PR Purchase Group and Vendor field is not gettting updated in the PO.
Please suggest.
Also,
I have created a PR and trying to convert it automatically through ME59N.
But in ME59N the PR is not identified.
Please suggest and let me know the functionality of ME59N

Dear Sudip
Prerequisites for AUTO PO.
1) Plant must be assigned a Purchase Orgainsation.
2)Auto PO Option in vendor master needs to be activated and info record for material and vendor needs to be created.
-it should be ensured that plant is assigned to a purchase organization.
3)Auto purchase order indicator to be ticked in vendor master for auto po generation.
4)Autom. Po indicator in material master is to be ticked and save the record
5)source list should also be maintained.
If you are using Transaction Code ME59 to automatically convert the current PR into PO, then the following criteria should be met:
1) In the Purchasing View of the material master data, the "Autom. PO" field must be clicked;
2) In the Purchasing View of the Vendor Master Data, the "Automatic Purchase Order" field must be clicked;
3) The Outline Agreement or Purchasing Info Record shall be maintained which will allow the automatic copying of unit price and other conditions into PO;
4) The Source List shall be maintained for the nominated vendor which was shown in either the Outline Agreement or Purchasing Info Record.
or
it might be PR subject to release strategy and not yet released
or
If you're not using a source list or automatic creation of PO, you may need to assign the requisition to a purchase information record using transaction ME56. Then it should appear in ME58.

Purchase group security in the create PO role

Hi, What are other larger companies with multiple purchase groups across multiple plants, doing with purchase group in their create purchase order role? Are you following the same practice for all the purchase order roles that include purchase group?
Does anyone control the purchaser's access by purchase org, plant and purchase group or let them have all(*) for purchase group and follow business unit best practices.. We would potentially have 30 plus PO child roles per PO parent role for each plant if created by single purchase group access.
tanks,
Dawn Domina

Hi,
Follow the steps
1. Go to "Personal Setting" Tab in PO
2. Select "Default Values" menu
3. In the PO Header section Select the Default Purchasing Group e.g. 000 initial
Remember if the Purchasing group field is blank here then the Purchasing Group field will not appear in me21n transaction instead it will appear after you put relevant details like Material number and Plant. The purchasing group field is defaulted from Purchase Info record in such case. But you can always change it

Hi. Yes. You can ECATT on transaction PO10 or PP01.
Put in the org unit numbers and maintain the "EBP Product Responsibility" infotype.
It might tell you that you can not do this, but you can enable it by maintaining T777I in SM30.
