Is it possible to print archived Purchase Orders

We are archiving business complete PO's which are beyond 24 months old. However, for Data retention and audit trail purposes, there is a busineess requirement to retreive the print format as needed even after the PO is archived. Transaction SARI does not print an archived PO. Has anyone come across this kind of requirement and how do you address it? Early repsonse is sincerely appreciated.

No, you misinterpreted what I said.
SAP differentiates 2 types of archiving.
1) Data archiving with SARA
2) message archiving (optical archiving) when printing.
if you archive messages (optical archiving) then the document is usually stored in a repository and can be opened with a viewer.
In you message record detail you have a field storage mode, which is either
1 = print only
or 2 = archive only
or 3 = print and archive
in case of 2 or 3 you store messages. these messages are originals and can be viewed and reprinted at any time.
But if you did not archive messages and archived data with SARA, then it is not possible anymore to print again the document.

Is it possible to create a Purchase order wrt a Scheduling agreement?

Is it possible to create a Purchase order wrt a Scheduling agreement?

Hi,
It is not possible to create PO wrt a Scheduling Agreement. Po is basically a formal instruction given to the supplier by the purchasing dept. It is non-binding. Delivery of the goods is not mandatory for a PO. However, in the case of SA, we create SA
and maintain SA Schedule lines (ME38) with reference to SA. The agreement created with vendor is binding and fixed.
Hope it clarifies.

Changing default printer in Purchase order

Hi
This is Mohammed. Khan, when we are working with these purchase Order T-codes (IW32, IW21, IW28, IW38) When ever we are trying to give purchase order print, than automatically it will take $MECH,at present this printer is not available in our landscape, if there I donu2019t know where this printer is defined exactly, I am searching this particular printer in Output devices(SPAD) but this is not available in that list, can any body tell me how to change the default printer, from purchase order printing list, and also let me know how to set different printer in the place of $MECH printer..
Thank you,

Hi
Try checking NACE transaction, for your output type the default printer assigned (in communication method). And also check defaults tab in user record in SU01 tcode.

Archiving Purchase Orders.

Hi Friends,
I am trying to Archive Purchase order using archiving object mm_ekko.
I get the following errors.
1. Could not delete some subitems
2. Delivery costs have not been balanced
3. GR qty is smaller than ordered qty minus underdelivery tolerance
4. GR qty not the same as delivered quantity
5. GR qty not the same as GI qty
6. Invoiced quantity is smaller than ordered quantity
7. Item is blocked
8. Posting date of delivery costs within retention period
I just want to ingnore / correct them and move ahead.
Any solutions ??
Thanks in Advance

Hi Kanica,
If you think to implement same solution in production system then problems are,
1. Payment - Payment posting to vendor will happen and updated to FI accounting documents aganist to that vendor
2. You may land up with audit related issues.
If this seems to be ok with your client then you can proceed with that.
Otherwise you can think of the option of setting deletion flag for the line item and archive it. Once you do this nothing will be changed apart from deletion flag settings for this line item.
Hope this will help for your issue.
-Thanks,
Ajay

Automatic printing of purchase order in a particular printer

Hi
Do anyone know, the setting for automatic printing of purchase order by a particular purchasing group in a particular printer. The requirement is that The group has to print only Pur Oder in this printer.
I don't want to use SPRO>Material Management>Purchasing>Message>assign output device......
Thanks in advance.
Esh

First of all check your output type with MN06 if the Key combination avilable for outpur type then select that combination and creatae the condition records for your PO type with MN04 and assign the printers here by selecting that line adn clicking on the communication tab.
Or if you don't have the key combination with Purchase group then go to IMG-MM-Purchasing-message-output control - condition table - here use the existing table for purchase gorup or create new one with the combination oyu are looking
then create access sequence and assing to your message type then it will be available for MN04.

Display archived purchase orders in Lists (e.g. ME2L)

Hi everybody,
Last week we upgraded our system to SP13 (ECC 6.0). Since then we have problems with our archived purchase orders.
Usually all purchase orders (independent from where they are saved (archive or database)) are displayed in standard reports like the ME2L. Since the upgrade we cannot access the archived POs when we start the ME2L.
When I use SARA (e.g.: RM06ER30) to read the archive it works. When I start the ME24N and pic a archived purchase order it works fine too.
I have two questions now:
1.) I'm not 100% sure if the old behavior was standard or if some modification has been carried out in our system some time ago. Can anybody tell me if archived POs are displayed in MM-lists like the ME2L in SAP-standard?
2.) Does anybody has a solution how I can fix that?
Thanks upfront and kind regards
Alex

Archiving purchase orders of a specific order-type

hello,
does anyone have a simple-doc or plan for archiving purchase orders. archiving for dummy's as I have never done this?
points to be taken into consideration:
- order of a specific type (ZRL0)
- order must be older then 10 days
thanks,

Hi,
In order to archive PO's , there are a number of considerations that must be taken into account.
The archiving program SARA -> MM_EKKO , Write , does a large number of checks before archiving can be done.
The first step is to go to SARA -> MM_EKKO , customizing. In here , you can specifiy what kind of documents you want to archive and specify the retention period (document life) for each type of document.
For example :
Go to C MM-PUR : Reorganization PO
You will find several type of PO Doc types
DB     Dummy purchase order           Standard
NB     Standard PO           Standard
NB     Standard PO     K     Consignment
NB     Standard PO     L     Subcontracting
NB     Standard PO     S     Third-party
NB     Standard PO     D     Service
UB     Stock transport ord.     U     Stock transfer
Suppose you want to archive Standard PO's , go into the customizing option and then set the residence time 1 and residence time 2.
Res time 1 is the number of days which must elapse after which a deletion indicator can be set for the document. The elapsed days are calculated from the last change date of the document record in EKKO table.
Res time 2 is the number of days which must elapse after which a document with a deletion indicator can be actually deleted out of the EKKO table.
Once the customizing is finished , then you should run the SARA Preprocessing job (which sets the deletion indicators for the selected set of documents) , then the write job (which will write the DLT status documents to an archive file) and then the delete step (which will remove documents from the EKKO and other related Purchasing tables. TO get a trailer of what gets archived and deleted , run the archive write job in "Test" Mode , rather than "Production" mode.
Hope this helps.

Archive Purchase Order on SRM

Hi experts,
I'm working on the SRM archive process. I'm in extended classic scenario so my purchase order is created on SRM and duplicated on ECC. I only want to archive purchase order on SRM and not on ECC.

Printing of purchase orders

Hi.
Actually I don't have a solution/ idea for the following issue. So I pass this overu2026
We just want to suppress the u201Cstandardu201D printing of purchase orders with a total value above a specific amount. A second message (EDI) should be processed as normal.
Should this be done via release strategy or via message control or u2026? All this should work automatically, with no user interaction.
Any ideas are welcome!
Thanks
Patric

Hi,
While creating the PO or changing PO IDOC can be genearted automatically .Please do following configuration:
1.GO to T.Code NACE
2.Select the row u201CEF Purchase Orderu201D and click on u201CProcedures".
3.Materials management--> Purchasing ->Messages-> Output control---> Message Determination Schemas -
> Define Message Schema for Purchase Order -
>Click on u201CAssign Schema to Purchase Orderu201D.
4.Go back to transaction NACE. Select u2018EFu2019 and click on u201COutput typesu201D.
5.Select output type NEU for Purchase order----->Made required settings --->Ensure that the Checkboxes u201CAccess to conditionsu201D and u201Cmultiple issuingu201D are checked.
6.Now click on u201CProcessing Routinesu201D on the left hand side
7.Make the entry either for EDI or ALE .System will generate IDoc /EDI

Reload archived Purchasing orders or reference archived PO's in MIRO

Hi Colleagues
Is there a way to
Reference an archived Purchase order in a MIRO posting?
or alternatively reload archived purchase orders? I hjave reviewed SAP note 456129 and this states that RM06ER30 can be amended by SAP as remote consulting
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Steve

I would not do this, as it can cause inconsitencies.
And I would only consider it:
when I archived much more than it should be because of wrong selection
AND if this has happened right now and no new POs where created.
I would not even think about such option just because of an unexpected late invoice.
You can post this invoice thru FI transaction FB60

Retrieve the Archived Purchase order

Please help me with transaction to retrieve the archived Purchase order.

Archive Purchase Order in SRM 5.0@ extended classic senario

Dear SRM Guru,
I use SRM 5.0 in extended classic senario, how can i archive purchase order with limit order using standard SAP?
Thanks.
Regards,
Kim

Hi Kim,
your question is a quite open one. So I try to answer with different flavours - hope there a right one for you.
In case you'd like to archive over system boundaries, i.e. since to ECC PO is a copy of a leading PO in SRM, you might expect that you somehow can archive both at once. This is not happening - i.e. you have to archive both separately.
When you look up notes 726509 SRM archiving: Archiving of R/3 documents with SRM, 723685 SRM: History after the archiving of R/3 documents you might figure out more.
There was an issue in archiving that the workitems were not archived with reference to the SRM document - but this is resolved via note as well. Search for related notes with 'Archiving' + 'SRM' in the service portal.
When you want to figure out more regarding the archiving dependencies you can look up the archiving trx. SARA resp. the archiving programs in SE38: BBP_DP_ARCH_* (CHECK, DELETE, WRITE, SET_STATUS).
Regards,
Richard

How to extract TEXT for archived Purchase Orders ?

Hi Friends,
Can any one tell me how to extract TEXT for archived Purchase Orders ?
I have used READ_TEXT but that is not fetching texts for archived PO's. Whenever I am trying to fetch data from STXH against archived PO, no value is coming and resulting SY_SUBRC <> 0.
Any demo code will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance..
Sivaji

Hi,
You can see that table STXH is linked to archiving object MM_EKKO (you can see it in tcode DB15).
My suggest is that you must get the data. See the demo object BC_SBOOK in tcode AOBJ. You can see the report to reload data. The object is get the data in an internal table. So for report SBOOKR you can see this function module:
*   get data records from the data container
*   SBOOK
    CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVE_GET_TABLE'
      EXPORTING
        archive_handle        = lv_handle
        record_structure      = 'SBOOK'
        all_records_of_object = 'X'
      TABLES
        table                 = lt_sbook_tmp
      EXCEPTIONS
        end_of_object         = 0.         "not entries of this type
*   check lt_sbook_tmp entries against selections. Delete not
*   requested entries
    LOOP AT lt_sbook_tmp ASSIGNING <ls_sbook>
                         WHERE carrid IN s_carrid
                           AND connid IN s_connid
                           AND fldate IN s_fldate.
      APPEND <ls_sbook> TO lt_sbook.
    ENDLOOP.
    REFRESH lt_sbook_tmp.
The idea is that you get the same data that you handle in READ_TEXT (because you don't have the data in database) and recovery the text.
I hope this helps you
