Hi Experts,

Regards
Vinoth

Hi,
Not possible to select layout (run time). You have assign default layout for each vendor to get correct logo and company name.
Why you want different logo and company names? Is it same DB or different DB?
Thanks & Regards,

  • How to change Purchase Order currency after Good receipt and Good issue?

    Hi,
    I've a PO created last year. The PO currency has been entered wrongly.
    My store colleague has been performed good received and consumed it.
    Now, I am not able to change PO currency to correct one, due to this message:-
    Currency can no longer be changed
    Message no. 06489
    Diagnosis
    As a basic rule, the currency cannot be changed if there has already been a goods receipt against a document.
    If the document contains external service and/or limit items, or if an invoicing plan has been assigned to an item, the currency cannot be changed following the receipt of an invoice either.
    If external service items exist, the currency also cannot be changed if services that have actually been performed have already been recorded or if the item in question has been assigned to a preventive maintenance (servicing) plan.
    Is there anyway to change PO currency after Good receipt and Good issue? Thanks !

  • How to send purchase order via e-mail.

    Please could someone let me know how to send purchase order via e-mail.
    I am an BC.
    e-mailing is functionning however I am not very familiar in settings for MM

    No, you do not need to touch ME_PRINT_PO. You need to put code before and after ME_PRINT_PO in the print program.
    Step 1 - Copy the standard print program SAPFM06P to make a Z version, lets call it ZSAPFM06P
    Step 2 - Copy include FM06PE02 to make a Z version, lets call that ZFM06PE02.
    Step 3 - ZSAPFM06P change the statement "Include FM06PE02" to read "Include ZFM06PE02".
    Step 4 - In include ZFM06PE02 you will find a subroutine called "ENTRY_NEU". In this subroutine you will see it first calls ME_READ_PO_FOR_PRINTING then calls ME_PRINT_PO. Before it calls ME_PRINT_PO just put:
    l_nast-nacha = 1.
    CLEAR l_nast-dimme.
    This means that ME_PRINT_PO will not e-mail, it will create a spool request.
    Step 5 - Still in ZFM06PE02, after ME_PRINT_PO has been called, add new code. First check that ent_retco EQ 0. If it does not then exit.
    Step 6 - Get the spool ID created by ME_PRINT_PO by either moving sy-msgv1 to a variable or select from NAST.
    Step 7 - Call function CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF using the spool ID from step 6, and put the result from table PDF into an internal table you can use later. ALso store the export variable pdf_bytecount, you will need it later.
    Step 8 - Call function SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE using the table from step 7 as content_in and put the results from content_out into a new internal table.
    Step 9 - Add some text into a internal table of type solisti1, this will be the body text of the e-mail.
    Step 10 - Add whatever receivers you want into an internal table of type somlreci1. If you just want it to go to the address that the PO would have gone to anyway, select the e-mail address from ADR6 where the address number = l_doc-xekko-adrnr, that is the data from the PO.
    Step 11 - Populate an internal table of type sopcklsti1 with data relevant to your PDF table from step 8 and the text table from step 9. You will have to put the size of the PDF from step 7 (pdf_bytecount) on the PDF line and the size of the text will be the number of lines of text * 255.
    Step 12 - Add info to a structure of type sodocchgi1. You can add the e-mail title in here, field obj_descr. Also add the size of the PDF and the size of the text from step 12 into doc_size, and give the doc a name in field obj_name. This can be anything, ZPDFPO for example.
    Step 13 - Call SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 using the tables from steps 8, 9, 10 and 11 and the structure from step 12. You can amend the sending e-mail also. Set commit_work to space.
    Step 14 - That is all you need, but I actually call function RSPO_R_RDELETE_SPOOLREQ to delete the spool request created in step 4, then call NAST_PROTOCOL_UPDATE to add some more messages to the processing log of the PO.
    That is all.

  • How to change the order of the fields in the queryoutputnode in OVS.

    How to change the order of the fields in the queryoutputnode in OVS.

    The actual requirment is to re-arrange the elements of the queryoutput node, to look more organised
    say for ex.
    Seq 1:
    c code                            company name                          g/l ac                g/l ac description  
    Seq2 :
    g/l ac description             c code                                       g/l ac                company name  
    Seq 1 way of representation is more organised that Seq2. How can we achieve this re-arranging of ordering in the queryoutputnode.

  • SRM 7.0 Output for changed purchase order documents

    Hi all,
    if we change purchase orders we like to send a PO output document for changed purchase orders only if we change certain PO fields in header or items.
    What is the functionality in PO - Header - Output - Order and Send Immediatelly ? We thought that this function is the solution!
    But independent we press the button <Order and Send Immediatelly > or button <Order> the system creates allways an output document in any cases of PO field changes which will be sent to a supplier (fax, email). How we can control that a PO document only will be created in cases we define ?
    Kind Regards
    Edited by: Hermann-Josef Wessels on Mar 28, 2011 6:53 PM

    Hi Jay,
    we like to control the output because PO changes for G/L account, cost centre or change from account assigment order to cost centre are not interesting for the supplier and in this cases a PO document should not be sent to the supplier. This was the main reason why we like to use function <Order and Send Immediatelly>.
    So I would like to clarify the requirement:
    1. Automatic created output document if a new PO will be created
    2. Automatic created output document if a PO will be changed but no output if the following fields will be changed:
        e.g. for G/L account, cost centre or change from account assigment order to cost centre
    So we come back in our discussion to table: BBPV_COMP_FIELDS. There are entries for POO = PO Output and POR = Version comparison for Purchase Order.
    Question: Can I use structure name: BBP_PDS_ACC for our requirement. If yes which field-names I have to maintain in detail in this table. If possible I need the entries in detail.
    Kind Regards

  • I want to change Purchase Order Print

    I want to change Purchase Order Print. I want to add the name who has done last change in Purchase Order. Please help.

    You no need to add the changes, It can be shown in Environment menu. If u want to see the person who changed the PO in ur Print, ABAP work will be required..
    By the way what is the business requirement for this. B'cas PO is meant for vendor, Why do u want to print, whoever did the changes..This thing you can see from SAP itself at anytime.
    Cheers!

  • How to change the order of download options as per our convience in obiee

    hi frineds,
    How can i change the order of the download options in obiee dashboard ?
    like if you press download option you see
    download to excel
    download to excel 2000
    download data
    download webpage(mhtml)
    how to change this order.????????

    The download options are setup in OracleBI\web\msgdb\messages\viewscontrolmessages.xml
    - Search for the tag *<WebMessage name="kmsgEVCDownloadLinks">* that contains the download links within the hyperlink tag
    - Each hyperlink tag is a download option
    - Reorder as you require
    - The actual text that gets displayed as a link can also be customized by editing the entry for a message such as kmsgEVCLinkDownloadExcel in the OracleBI\web\msgdb\l_en\messages\viewmessages.xml [the customization is locale specific]
    - Restart the presentation server

  • How to find purchase order bapi

    can any one help how to find purchase order bapi.

    This isn't a Web Dynpro Specific question - moving to ABAP general.
    However have you considered going to SE80 and searching for function modules that begin with the name BAPI and have purc in the name?  Or maybe going to the BAPI Browser transaction (T-Code BAPI) and searching either in the Hiearchy or Alphabetical list.  Probably not too difficult to find the purchase order object.

  • Automatic ORDCHG Change Purchase Order after Order response from Vednor

    Hi
    How to trigger Change Purchase Order action after receiving PO Confirmation - Order Response from Vendor.
    The scenario is that Order Confirmation vednors sends contains delivery date or delivery qunatity variance within defined tolerances. In such cases it is acceptable to allow automatic PO change.
    This is an EDI scenario. Idocs ORDRSP and ORDCHG in use.
    Thanks for hints.
    Mariusz

    - For automatic document adjustment, you must make the necessary settings in Customizing (SPRO ->Materials Management->Purchasing->Conditions->Automatic Document Adjustment). The system logs all the relevant purchasing documents and can therefore determine all the documents affected by a change to a condition.                                    
    - This is only possible for purchasing documents for which follow-on documents (goods receipt, invoice receipt) do not exist.           
    - Before you run this report, you must have run report RMEBEIN4 (creation of worklist for automatic document adjustment).

  • Mail Changed Purchase Order

    Dear,
    I can mail my purchase orders, but when I change my PO and want to send the changes to the vendor I would like to have the title changed automatically too.  Does anyone knows how I can do that? 
    So, instead of "New Purchase Order &PO - Number&, it should also be possible to send "Changed Purchase Order &PO - Number& without changing the title manually...
    Can anybody help me please?
    Thanks in advance!
    Best Regards,
    Lien

    Dear,
    Thanks for your help, but I actually mean the subject title of the mail.
    A purchase order number, for example, can be added by "ekko_ebeln"
    I would like to add the status new or changed in my subject title without a manual intervention.
