Goods Recipient and Unloading Point on an Blanket purchase orders

Hi,
I am trying to maintain value in the fields Goods recipient and Unloaing point in an account assigned purchase order or purchase requisitin. However when I select item category B (Limit) these fields are greyed out.
I know that these fields are driven from the account assignment category fields slection. I checked in configuration. In configuration it was found that these two fields are configured as optional. Still I am unable to identiy which config derives this fields selection.
If any one of you faced this weird situatioin or do I missing any thihg here..?Please let me know
Thanks

Customer goods receiving hours and unloading points in TM

Dear All,
Anyone knows is there any functionality to define customer goods receiving hours and unloading points in TM?
Regards,
Ali

Hi Ali,
Take a look at /SAPAPO/TMS_CAL. You will also need to know a bit about Calendars and Time Streams. May want to take a look and do some research before going too deep into the subject.
Also go to your planning profile and in the first tab you will see a reference to Factory Calendar for Offs/Dur. Calc. By selecting a specific calendar you can limit the hours for accepting deliveries or picking up material.
And under Business Document Type for Default Type for Schedule (using the Document Type to determine the schedule constraints.
And the Scheduling Strategy for Scheduling (default of VSR_DEF).
And probably many other considerations depending on your needs. You may be able to simply use the Factory Calendar in the Planning Profile to do your initial testing.

Mike

Goods Recipient and Requester's address info in SC

I need to change the address information of
Goods Recipient and Requester as they are moved from one organization to another oranization. So, where I need to make a change for Goods Recipient and Requester's address information in EBP system.
Thanks in advance!
Mrudula

Hi Mrudula,
do you want to change Goods Recipient and Requester addresses on all old SRM purch doc (SC, PO...), or only on the user org data.
Because when moving a user from one organisation to another, he will inherit the new address from the new org ID.
You can also process users via web transaction "Maintain internal users" BBPUSERMAINT, available in admin role.

Unloading Point field in a production order

HI Experts,
I need to add "unloading point" field from a production order on to COHV report output. This is currently not avaible in COHV, Is there is any way i can add the field. Let me know please. THanks in advance.

In my system there is no field called "profile". There is the "List" dropdown, and below it "Layout" field.
Anyway, are you able to generate a report of "Documented goods movements"? The column "Unloading point" is not available in the default report. You have to add this column in the report by clicking on "change layout" button. In the report click on "Std ALV functions on" button - a black arrow pointing to the right among the small icons at the top(if needed). Then select the icon "Change Layout". This icon is right besides the "Export" icon which is used to export data to Spreadsheet.

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.

KK

Blanket Purchase Order and MRP

Gurus,
How MRP considers Blanket purchase Order - supplies..suppose i have a BPO for 100 Items/1 yr..that means roughly every qtr 25 numbers.But we are not asking the suppliers to supply the good until we ask him..this contract is to reduce lead time ..still buyer should be aware of the demand for this items..if BPO is not there..he will get requisitions..but now MRP will not recommond PR's as BPO is in place..pl advise..how to handly this case/
I couldnt find much documentation on BPO and MRP.
Rgds,

MRP does not consider BPO as supply. Only blanket releases are considered as a supply.
So in your case, MRP WILL recommend PR whenever it sees the demand. And the buyer will be able to convert the PR into a Blanket release.
Hope this answers your question

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.

Limit/Blanket Purchase Orders and CCM Catalogs

Hi,
Is it possible to put Limit/Blanket Purchase Order items into CCM Catalogs?
John

Hi
It is possible to put anything into a catalog - however that does not mean the catalog item will be interpreted or acceptable to the SRM_SERVER, when passing data from a catlaog, the provided information has to be sufficient to allow for successful creation of a procurement document (not a limit/blanket order), i.e. you need either Material Number or Description, based on which of these are passed you may also then require vendor/UOM/quantity, price etc, it is clearly defined in note [395312|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=395312].

Query of blanket purchase order

Hi experts
can anyone explain how to do invoice verification for blanket po?
thanks in advance!

Hi Mark,
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.
Multiple invoices can be processed. Main point is that invoices must be processed within the validity period spesified in PO. The total value of invoices must also not exceed the limit spesified in PO item. The validity period is spesified on PO Header Level, while the Limit is on Item level. The creation of Purchase requisition is Optional.
Purchase Requisitions doesn't have validity period fields, although the limit can be spesified on item level. So if users create PR's then they could type the validity period simply as text in one of the long text fields.
During invoicing, if the date is outside validity period or the amount is bigger, either a Warning or Error will occur. This setting is done in customising.
Examples on where this business process can be used include: Services: example buying flowers, travel. Perticular if the receipt process is not very formalised. It is also sometimes used for utilities (water, electricity...).
Look at processes where Financial invoices (no PO) are used. To improve control, a lot of vendor invoices could be moved to Blanket Order process.
Lets look at key fields in the Purchase Order
The Overall Limit is the value that will be used to in the check during invoicing. If Commitment is switched on in Costing, the Expected value is the value of the commitment against in this case the Cost Centre. The actual will be posted during invoicing.
Account assignment is mandatory, so this process is non stock purposes only. Stock can not be procured using this method (For stock a GR is required).
Because no Goods Receipt (GR) will take place, the GR indicator is switched off when the item category is selected.

Ashok

Hi,
In Blanket PO 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., select document type as FO and item category B and Account Assignment category K & provide the limits to the validity periods and the value limits in the PO.
Multiple invoices can be processed in miro. One thing is that invoices must be processed within the validity period specified in PO. The total value of invoices must also not exceed the limit specified in PO item. The validity period is specified on PO Header Level, while the Limit is on Item level
process :
1. Make the Blanket PO. with doc type FO and item cat B and Account Assignment category K, with GL A/c and costcenter.
2. Because no Goods Receipt (GR) will take place, the GR indicator is switched off when the item category is selected
3. Based on the PO dates, we directly make the Invoice and pay to the vendor

Blanket purchase orders

Hi,
What is the difference between Blanket purchase order and Frames work order and In what situations we create these PO's.?

Hi
Actually Blanket purchase orders has to create the document type as Frame work order.
Balnket PO can be used to purchase material or services upto certain predefined maximum value (value limit) from a vendor.
Nature of materials or services are the purchase of office supplies and minor services required during course of the year.
Blanket PO have the document tyupe FO, instead of specific delivery date in a normal PO here we need to enter the specific valid period.
For a balnket PO no need of goods receipt, only invoice can be done.
Account assignment needs only at the time of invoice verification only.
Hope this will give you an idea......
