Internal Order: Approval Routes

Good morning,
We use internal orders in our company, on purchase orders and for goods issue.
However, we are looking for more control on the usage of these internal order numbers as users have been coding things incorrectly and we have to make manual corrections after the fact.
Is there a way in SAP to implement an approval route for purchase orders/goods issue situations where an internal order number is assigned? That way, the appropriate manager can approve/reject them before they are posted and have to be corrected.
If not, does anyone have any other recommendations?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Kristine

Need help in understanding FA acquisition via Internal Order

Hi Gurus
I need your help in understanding the FA acquisition via Internal Order. The process we are following is that we create AUC using the AUC asset class and enter that AUC number in the settlement rule while creating IO. Once IO budget is approved, we release the IO. Once GR is completed, we do the Invoice receipt for the PO, followed by settlement of IO against the AUC. Afterwards, we create fixed asset in AS01 and enter this asset number in the settlement rule for the AUC in AIAB and settle the AUC to Fixed asset for the costs.
My question is that during all this process, I don't see the PO information in the AUC record. When I display AUC, under the Enviornment tab, I see the Purchase order link but when I click it, there is nothing in there. The reason could be that we are creating AUC seperatly and not from within the IO where it says create AUC. I am not sure what is the best way for the whole process.
I would be thankful if you can guide me.
Thanks,
Shalu

Entering Inv for PO with ref to Internal Order in FI

Hi All,
When a PO is created with Acct Asgmnt Cat "F" (Order) and ref to a FI "Internal Order" number why can't I enter an Invoice against this PO....I get a message in MIRO saying "No suitable items found for the PO"
What does this mean? How can the vendor be paid if invoice can't be entered?

hi,
An internal order is placed by an organizational unit of your company. Since billing is not performed, internal orders only contain free items. You can assign each free item to a cost center that is to be debited.
You can create an internal order for each of the following order types depending on its purpose:
Carrier route reserves (or miscounts)
Planning reserves for subsequent deliveries
Delivery of free copies to your company's internal organization
(internal delivery, internal retail to branch)
Delivery quantity for random distribution
Free voucher copies
CHECKS:
1. Free del . indicator...
2. GR based IR indicator...
3. Check whether it is already settled ..see in PO history tab..

Travel Commitment to Internal Order

Hi! All,
After saving a Purchase Order with Account Assignment to an Internal Order, commitment will update the COOI table. If Internal Order has budget exceeded, it will display an Availability Control Error Message.
However, for a Travel Request with Account Assignment to an Internal Order(after approval of the request, before Transferred to FI), commitment will NOT UPDATE the COOI table. It does not display any Availability Control Error Message if budget exceeded. Travel Commitment does not update the Internal Order Available budget anymore.
How to make Travel Request Commitment update the Available budget of the Internal Order and display an error message if budget exceeded ?
Thanks in advance for the advise.

Hi! Kenneth,
The cost element is NOT exempted.
If the trip is cost assigned to a Cost Centre, it will update the Travel commitment to the Funds Centre and got the budget exceeded error message if the Funds Centre is running out of money.
However, if the trip is cost assigned to an Internal Order, the commitment does NOT update the availability of the Internal Order and NO error message if the Internal Order is running out of money.

Segregate internal ordered items from purch. order items for the i-pro user

We want to know if there are any Oracle i-Procurement implementations that have segregated the internally ordered items via an Order Management sales order from items ordered on a PO (purchase order). We have considered three possible paths to purse. 1) Table of Contents: this seems to not work because you can only connect a Group at the Category level not item level, 2) Multiple responsibilities one for Inventory and one for drop ship: This is not acceptable to the user. 3) Requisition Template.
We attempted to implement this by creating two i-Pro stores named Main and Inventory Only. Our design defined that these stores be associated with a catalog for each group of item. We interpreted that the "Include items without suppliers in this catalog" flag in the Catalog definition would select those items that are stockable. However, the logic behind this flag does not consider the item attributes/Sourcing Rules set at the ORG level. Our company has two Orgs named INV for inventory and DEV for our service organization. For stockable items the items are coded Inventory Sourced in the DEV item master and the sourcing assigment is linked to a sourcing rule which is internal (that is, get from INV org). The items are coded Supplier Sourced in the INV item master and the sourcing rule is a Blanket. Thus, our inventory items were not included in the the catalog even though they were sourced internally at the DEV org because of the blanket sourcing rule in the INV org.
Thank you, Ned

Meera,
Which version of SBO are you using 2005 or 2007?
I don't think Serial numbers can help in this scenario. There is no hard allocation or blocking possible using Serial numbers.
This is the Work around I am thinking about.
Set the items to be Batch Managed - On Every Transaction
When performing Goods Receipt, enter the Sales Order Number as the Batch Number
When creating the delivery, using SBO_SP_TransactionNotification we can easily check the Batch of the Item being selected and verify it with the BaseRef of Delivery lines to match with Sales Order number.
If the numbers don't match we can warn user with message, "The items batch reserved for Sales Order xyz"
Even if you make a mistake when entering the batch number same as Sales Order number when doing a goods receipt. It can still be traced and blocked during delivery.
Hint: The Batch table records the Goods Receipt transaction along with the BaseDocument number, Base Ref, etc
If you decide to go this route, I could help you further.
Let me know

Internal Order number is copied while cretaing new SC from Old PO

Hi,
We are on SRM 5.0. When i tried to create a new shopping cart through by copying the old shopping cart from 'Old Purchase Orders and templates' the Internal Order number is also being copied which is a problem.
I appreciate any help.
Thank you

Hi..
Thanks for the response. Yes we are using using internal order(IO) in account assignment.
This creates a problem, because the approver is unable to identify if the PR is one which is already approved that was rejected by someone else (so therefore doesn't need a new IO), or whether it's a brand new PR that needs a new IO.
So is there someway so that the cost assignment does NOT get copied onto the new PR? Any relevant BADI's that can be used ?
Thanks.

Different exchange rate type for budgetting internal orders

Hi,
we would like to use a different exchange rate types when budgetting on internal orders depending on the order type.
In our current set-up the internal order types are linked to a budget profile, in this budget profile we have specified the exchange rate type to use.
Unfortunately this doesn't work (I guess this is only used to translate the total budget)
We do availability control in company code currency and on a yearly base, but each time we approve some budget we want to translate this at the most recent (monthly) exchange rate.
This works if we change the exchange rate type P each month so that it contains the most recent exchange rate on the first of januari.
Unfortunately this P-rate is also used for other things (other budget on other order types and cost center planning) here we want to be able to keep the same exchange rate throughout the whole year.
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanx in advance
Sven

Internal Order & Asset

Dear All,
user want to control the asset purchasing with approved budget. in order to achieve the user requirement we created internal order , entered the budget & activate the availability control.
at the time of PO creation, we input Asset & internal order. system activated the budget availability control on PO/PR elevl. which one is good.we also created the statiscal cost element for the Asset reconciliation account. For this our requirement is fulfiling
we have the following query.
1-the process that we are following, is it ok ?
2-is there impact/ effect for creating the statiscal cost element of asset reconciliation account.
3-is there any other process ?.

Hi Friend,
The process what you are following is correct...
There would not be any impact by creating the statistical cost elements.....
Another option is ......
Create an internal order... and create the purchase order against Internal order ( No need to give any assets and no need to create any statistical cost elemetn also)
Then settle the internal order to Fixed assets....
Thanks & Regards

Copy Internal Order between Investment Programs

We have a investment program in approval year 2014 which has 1 Internal Order assigned to it and the budget has been fully allocated. We want to budget against this internal
Now we have created a new investment program in approval year 2015 and want to the use the internal order(measure from the invesment program in 2014. We have tried the following:
IM22 Change program - assignments add internal order get error message "There is already an existing assignment to program position 2014"
IMCAOV Budget Carryfoward - No impact on the measure as there is no budge to carry forward.
Can anyone advise how we can budget on the same Internal Order in the new fiscal year ?
thanks
Joe

Hello,
the little late answer to your question is the table IMZO. It links the investment program / positions to internal orders. I found this thread while searching for my own problem which is quite the same:
In my WebDynpro for ABAP investment planning tool I'm using the FM BAPI_INTERNALORDER_CREATE to create internal orders as a result of the planning process. This BAPI is similiar to the transaction ko01 except that I can't assign an investment program / position to my internal order (this is also pointed out in the help to the BAPI/FM).
But how can I assign an investment program / position to my internal order NOT using an ABAP insert/update statement on the table IMZO (which links the internal orders and investment programs/positions).
Does anybody know a FM or BAPI I could use? I really don't like the idea of a self made insert/update into a sap table...
Thank you in advance,
Christian Bracht

Linking Sales Promotions to Statistical Internal Orders

We have two kinds of promotions here.
a) Consumer Promotion - reduced price for a particular period
b) Trade Promotion - Free goods - buy 10 get one free.
We are creating these promotion through standard SAP route with a validity period, and these get populated in the sales order order correctly.
The promotionional expenses are borne by the supplier (vendor). To debit his account with the appropriate expenses, we have created Statistical Internal orders (SIO) in CO, one per supplier account.
(We have developed a report where we accumulate all the values dueing these two above promotions and manually pass a JV in finance in the SIO.This is a long circuitous process and we are exploring other alternativesto make the values flow directly to the SIO)
If you double click on the sales order item, and proceed to Account Assignment tab, you will see an order no., where you can select the (SIO) no., which we are doing manually.
I am unable to find any place in configuration of Sales Promotion/Sales Deal/ SIO (definition) through which I can default the SIO no. in the sales order, so that the values can flow automatically.
Please help if possible.
Thanks & Regards

I think that this is not possible.

Internal order work flow problem

Both WF issues are related to internal orders , Transaction KO03
==========
Example for 1 st case
consider A , 1 , 2, 3 , 4 are approvers
A --->>>> 1) , 2) , 3) , 4)
if A doesnt approved in 3 days , then it go to 1 , 2, 3, 4
after 3 days , any one of them 1, 2 ,3 , 4 can approve it
3 days passes , but before any one of them approve , its already approved by A
all of 1, 2 , 3, 4 have mail in their inbox for approval , but
here work flow is completed , what work flow is supposed to do , it does
, but in status error is coming .
why this is error is coming , even when workflow completed and workflow does its job
==========
Second problem
one user X have approved , after its approval status should change to approved ,
but it is not changing and it is showing status in process .
therefore work flow monitoring team , who is checking which WF request are still in process
again initiating workflow .
Now again same cycle repeats , it again comes to inbox of same user , who earlier approves.
Please suggest why status is not changing , even after approval , why it is showing status in process
and why same user X , who earlier approves it , getting mail in its inbox for approving it.

What is G/R?
