Issue in PO creation for Direct Material Procurement.

Hi Experts,
I am working with SRM 7.0 Classic Scenario.
I have no issues with SC creation for indirect materials with Account Assignment.
But when I select Order as Direct material in SC for any material with out account assignment on Approval of SC PO is created in SRM system as Extendended Classic Scenario even though I have not activated Extended classic scenario.
Kindly help me out in this issue how can I order as DIRECT MATERIAL WITH Classic scenario.
Regards,
B.N.Karthikeyan.

it is standard behavior,
but you can do one thing .
BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW BADI - TRY . CLEAR THE ACCOUNT ASSIGNMENT .Thats all . check it up with technical resoucre.
but you have to decide by developemnt what are the materials are PO with account / without account assignment

Direct material procurement in PDP scenario for classic mode

Dear Gurus,
We have configured classic scenario in our SRM 7.01 with backend system ECC 6.0 Enhpk 5. We have PDP scenario for direct material as one of the requirement. The requirement generated in MRP in the ECC backend system will be sent to SRM SOCO for sourcing. Once the right source of supply is found, the follow-on purchase order needs to be created in the ECC backend system in direct material mode.
However, the SAP SRM standard supports only indirect material procurement in PDP scneario for classic mode. How to enable the direct material procurement? Could you suggest any BAdi to be used here?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Hello,
You need to activate the Bsdi 'ME_REQ_SOURCING_CUST' for transferring the purchase requisitions from ERP to SAP SRM.
Some details about the method involved for the same are mentioned below :
Mehtod : IF_EX_ME_REQ_SOURCE_CUST~ACTIVE
->when parameter CV_AUT_SOURCING is set to true, external sourcing (e.g. SRM system) is active in ERP system
->when parameter CV_EXT_RFX_IND is set to true, RFx can be created out of PR directly from ERP system using application CPPR
->when parameter CV_EXT_SC_IND is set to true, PR in ERP system will be transferred to SRM using application CPPR
Method b. IF_EX_ME_REQ_SOURCE_CUST~CHECK_EXTERNAL_SOURCE
Here you need to maintain the logic / condition for which PR has to be transfered to SOCO.
Example
IF ( is_req_item-ekgrp = 'SRM' AND is_req_item-matkl = '100' )
cv_ext_sourcing = cl_mmpur_constants=>yes.
ENDIF.
When this BADI is active whenever you save a PR with say the purchasing group as SRM and material group is 100 (as per sample code above), system automatically triggers the PR transfer from ERP to SRM by xml's.

Backend Source of Supply not supported for Direct Material in SRM

Hi ,
When creating S/C or PO in SRM for Direct Material , backend Source of Supply ( i..e Purchasing Info Record or Backend Contracts ) not availble to select as a sourc of supply .
In our case, we are planning to maintain the sourc of supply (PIR or Contracts) in back end MM system only , then how can pick up the same ?
Can anyone please suggest on this .
Regards
NAP

NO Prashanta,
It is still pending for me . i just raised OSS message to SAP ...but SAP saying that
" I checked and found that in the classic scenario , Direct Materials cannot use backend contracts. The behavior described above is in accordance with the system design. Only local sources of supply (local contracts and interlinkages) can be
used in the direct material scenario, as well as as in the extended classic scenario . Therefore the above error message which you get "Specify a valid contract" is valid."
I replied with the doubt that "Thanks for reply but we are not convenience, since what we learnt from
different SAP Blogs, Below SAP help and SRM Experts discussion forum
is, for Ext Classic Scenario (since for direct materials it always
tales by default Ext Classic Scenario, although we implemented Classic)
Local SRM contract and Supplier List are the possible Source of Supply.
As per SAP help documentation for Self-Service Procurement (Extended
Classic) on below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/e0/f6be5157a24340bf7b1279854a52e1/frameset.htm u201CYou can assign the sources proposed by the
system to items automatically (for example, if there is a single
contract for the item being procured) or manually in the case of a
quota arrangement, contract, or supplier from a supplier listu201D
As per SAP help documentation for Sourcing Using Supplier Lists on
below link,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/d8/33ec56f17f4404806072749f7e764f/frameset.htm u201CIn supplier lists, you can also manually allocate
back-end contracts from specific systems. This enables more effective
sourcing for back-end contractsu201D
In the Supplier List there is facility to enter the ECC Contract
Number. Supplier List donu2019t support local SRM contract. It supports
only ECC Contract /item.
As per your reply, do you mean to say that Source List is not a valid
Source of Supply for Direct Material in Classic Scenario (i.e. Ext
Classic scenario)? If not, then why the backend ECC Contract displays
as a Source of Supply, when we check the u201COrder as direct Materialu201D?
Kindly suggest"
Lets see.what SAP now replies.
Simultaniously I'm looking some enhancment
If you have nay update/soultion then please share with me.

SRM MM-SUS for Direct Material ( i.e. Ext Classic Scenario)

Hi Friends,
We are planning to have the Classic Scenario in SRM 7.0 with SUS. So it will be SUS-MM scenarion and it supports only for Classic Scenario,
But when there is a case of Direct Materials [ Manual or through PDP ( Ext Req) ], it is SAP by defaullt setting that , system determine Extended Classic Scenario.
Now , if SUS-MM supports only to Classic scenario ,then we can collaborate the Orders of Direct Material genereted through Ext Classic Scenario in SUS ?
Confused over these contrast . Can any one suggest that how to get both one in SUS-MM ?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Alex,
Thanks for reply.
It seems here is some confusion. PDP of Dircet Material is standard SRM secarion where we can soure the requieremnets generted in various SAP Module like PS, PM , SD, APO..etc. So We just hav eintenstion to source the requiermnet in Sourcing cockpit to create the PO .
Okay. For time being , forget the PDP of Direct Material.
Just take the Direct Material ( For which we mention inventory or we procure for stock) only.
By SAP standard / defualt setting , for Direct Material , local PO is generted ,althoug we have mentioned Classic Senrion setting for the same . And it is Extended Classic Scenarion. Right!
At another side , it is SAP standrad that SUS-MM senarion support for only CLASSIC SCENARIO.
Then , my conern is how we can send these Local orders for dircet Material to Supplier via SUS ? Wether it is not possible ?

DIRECT MATERIAL PROCUREMENT and INDIRECT MATERIAL PROCUREMENT

please explain , what is the differance between DIRECT MATERIAL PROCUREMENT and INDIRECT MATERIAL PROCUREMENT.please explain with example.

source: http://www.ftpress.com/articles/article.aspx?p=24168
Procurement materials can be broken down into two major categories: indirect and direct.
u2022
Indirect procurement involves any commodity or service that a company buys that does not result directly in finished goods.
u2022
Indirect procurement can be divided into two groups: ORM (Operations Resource Management) materials such as office products and travel services, and MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations) materials such as replacement parts.
u2022
Direct procurement involves materials purchased for use in the manufacturing or distribution supply chain that are "directly" related to the production of finished goods.

Regarding direct material procurement in Classic scenario.

Hello SRM Gurus ,
We are implementing SRM5.0 classic scenario, (SSP with CCM).
As per standard , Shopping cart for a direct material (Requisition for
stock) will create a follow-on document in SRM only (controlled extended
classic scenario).
Client's requirement is that it should create a back-end PR in R/3 system.
Reason being, the client needs to have only one indenting system and one
procurement system.
which BAPI in R/3 for PR/PO has to be used to create PRs or Pos from SRM. Similarly, RFC which FMs have to be used to update status in SRM.
How to bypass the standard replication mechanism.
Please help me..
Thanks and regards,

Hi
Why not go for the BADI -> BBP_TARGET_OBJTYPE
Or
Alternatively using SPRO settings, you can change the standard behaviour of the system based on various attrbutes e.g., for a Particular Product, Item category, etc.
Here is the Path ->
IMG -> Supplier Relationship Mnagement -> SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic settings -> Define Objects in Backend System (Purch. Reqs, Reservations, Purch. Orders)
Define Objects in Backend System (Purch. Reqs, Reservations,
You perform this step only if you create your Materials Management documents in a backend system.
You specify the documents that are to be created in the backend system for a requirement coverage request.
The following documents can be created:
Purchase requisition
Purchase order
Reservation
You enter a product category (such as office supplies, or hardware) and/or an organizational unit. The organizational unit contains the purchasing group that is responsible for procuring products in this category.
You can enter the product category generically, such as Office*.
Note
The backend system is determined using the product category in the requirement coverage request item. The item also contains the organizatinal unit.
You can use the Business Add-In BBP_TARGET_OBJTYPE if you wish to implement a different logic for creating documents in the backend system.
Example
If purchasing group 01 wants to procure materials from the category Raw Materials, a reservation is to be created every time.
If materials in the category PC are to be procured, a purchase requisition is to be created every time.
Activities
1. Enter the organizational unit and/or the category.
2. Enter a source system.
3. Choose the procurement type.
Reservation if stock is available, otherwise external procurement
The system creates a reservation if the material is subject to inventory management and sufficient stock quantity is available in the warehouse on the requested date.
Always reservation for materials subject to inventory management
The system creates a reservation if the material is subject to inventory management, irrespective of whether stock is available.
Always external procurement
The system does not create a reservation, but always procures the item externally. In this case, you specify the type of external procurement.
The following options are significant if the system cannot create a reservation (for example, if there is no stock available or for a non-stock item) or the system must not create a reservation (choose Always external procurement).
Purchase order if item data complete, otherwise purchase requisition
The system always tries to create a purchase order. If the item data is incomplete (for example, the vendor or price is not known), the system creates a purchase requisition from the item.
Always purchase requisition
The system always creates a purchase requisition.
Always local purchase order
The system always creates a local purchase order.
Hope this will help.

PR is not creating in Backend ECC for Direct material Shopping carts

Hello Experts,
i have one issue, due to some reasons we deactivated 'Order as Direct Material' button on our SRM shoppingcart screen. But again due to the requirement we activated the 'Order as Direct Material' button. Now the issue is when we are creating a shopping cart by using order as direct material button no Purchase Requisition is creating in the backend ECC. we are in SRM 5.0. we already implemented BADI: BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW. we are able to create PR for the shopping carts which we order normally i.e for non-direct materials (with out using that order as direct material button).
please guide me on this!!!
thanks in advance!!!!

Hello,
You can use note 1173815 to debug if follow-on document determination is occurring in backend.
Also, you will be able to check if any error happened during this process.

Serial Number creation for a material with stock type

Hi,
I am not able to create the serial number for a material which should have valuation type, plant and storage location using the function module ITOB_SERIALNO_CREATE_SINGLE.
There is no export or changing parametre for this function module for Valuation type(EQBS-LBBSA),
Plant(EQBS-B_WERK) and
Storage Location(EQBS-B_LAGER)
Can any one suggest me the BAPI or function module to create a serial number for a material with valudation type, plant and storage location rather tan going for BDC to transaction code IQ01.
(Note: We can create the serial number with valuation type manually using the transaction code "IQ01" for agiven material.)
For suitable answers would be rewarded.
Regards
Badari
Edited by: badari Narayana on Feb 10, 2008 5:20 PM

I have the solution below.
- Don't change Serial no. profile
- Goods issue all stock with mvt 201 or 261 into temporary cost object and note your text.
- Change Serial no. profile in material master
- Goods receipt all stock (You may ref. material doc.) and you need to input serial number for all materials.
Hope this solution can help you.

Shopping Cart Creation for Stock Material

Hi,
I'm implementing a project that i must create SC from an external ECC system. When I try to create the SC the system sends me the message below. There's a way to create the SC from this external system for Stock Material?
"Purchase of product 0000000000000000000000000000000030238225 is not permitted in the backend"
We're using the Classic Scenario.
Thanks and best regards,
Alexandre.

Hi Muthuraman,
Thanks for your answer, I've look for the nots that you've sent me but it's a quite different what I need. I've been searching on the forum for something that can hep me and actually there's a older question that you help a person with something similar.
Here is the question and your answer. I've tried to follow the instructions but those Functions didn't stop when I execute the 'BBP_PD_SC_CREATE_EXTERNAL' function.
There's a way to clear the account assignment while creating the document on the backend when I'm using the function to create the SC?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Alexandre.
Question:
'In a SRM classic scenario it's possible to create a shoping cart for material stock or it's only possible to create for indirect material (center cost, order, etc).'
Answer:
'yes. Indeed you need enhancement
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SRM/BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW-CreatePOin+backend
you need to clear the account assignment while creating a PO in the backend.
so PO will be created in the backend rather than in SRM .
but see impacts - how inventory gl accounts are posted while doing good receipt. Is it taking GL account from valuation class .
Hide the Order as direct too in SRM .
create one custome field in shopping cart to determine to order a PO in the backend (for stock materials) so when you check this field, this sc item PO will be created without account assignment.

Info Record creation for Pipeline Material

Hello,
I am having issued while creating the Info records for a Pipeline Material(water)
This is the error.
"Material XXXX not a pipeline material" where as I have created the material as a Pipeline.
I have Info Record created previously for other plants within same Porg and CC.
Need the Info record in the Process Order where it does not allow to confirm the Order without the price that comes from Info Record
Can anyone tell me what is the issue?
Thanks
SAP Fans...

Hi,
Confirm that the material XXXX is created under material type "PIPE"
check for the material type in T code OMS2, whether "Pipeline mandatory" is active. And under "Quantity/value updating" option "Quantity updating" and "Value updating" should not be active.
Hope it helps..

PIR creation for Configurable material

Hi,
Please let me know, the process for creating PIR's for a configurable material.
Currently my client is using Stategy 82 for creation of prodcution order directly from sales order and does the selection of characteristics while creating the sales order.
when i try to create PIR using MD61,the system is giving a error " No Planning Profile maintained".
please help me out with the steps to be followed for creation of PIR's.
Regards
Ramesh

Hi,
you can not create PIR in MD61 with planning strategy 82. it is MTO stategy.
If you want to plan for configurable materials, go for characteristic plannijg strategy like 56.
In characteristic planning you need to maintain option (characteristics) usage % in MD61. In addtion to configurable profile it also needs planning profile 9 where you need to maintina exact characterisrics for whome option % should be maintinaed in MD61).
If you dont include certain charcteristics from configurable profile in planning profile then they will not be planned in Md61.
Check Charcteristic planning at below link:

Hi,
Batch is created automatically either when an order is created or released. (setting in OPKP)
I hope its not possible during confirmation.

Issue in segment creation for File to IDOC mapping

Hi,
I have file with many feilds, i need to create a segment in IDOC for unique combination of 2 feilds.
eg:
408
430050
segment
208
430050
segment
208
430050
208
460100
segment
208
452010
segment
408
432000
segment
208
432000
segment
the value for the combination of first column and 2nd column are equal it should trigger one segment instead of 2segments else(for different combination) trigger the segment
eg from table:
in table for 208,430050 is occuring twice but it should trigger only one segment(unique combinations of 2 columns), for all other combinations it should trigger one segment for each.

Hi Swapna,
You can use below mapping.
UDF:
Execution type : All Values Of Context
public void removeDuplicates(String[] context, ResultList result, Container container) throws StreamTransformationException{
HashSet<String> hashSet = new HashSet<String>();
 for (int i = 0; i < context.length; i++) {
 if (hashSet.add(context[i]))
 result.addValue(context[i]);
 else {
 result.addSuppress();

How to use the direct material indicator in Plan Driven Procurement?

Dear Experts,
How the system determine the procurement as direct material procurement in Plan driven scenario? In case of manual shopping cart, the system determines the direct material /indirect material procurement based on the check box 'Order as direct material'
indicator.
Now in case of plan driven procurement, where the requisition comes from ECC system, there is no way to indicate in the MM system for direct material?
Could you please enlighten me here?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Hi Ranjan,
In case of manual shopping cart, system at that point does not know whether the material procured has inventory management maintained or material valuation. Hence we need to specify option of 'Order as direct material'.
But when requisition is created in ECC system, SAP system already is aware of direct procurement since material used will have material master / Inventory management / Material valuation / Storage location etc maintained. And the info or some indicator will be sent to front end SRM system accordingly.
Moreover it does not really matter for front-end SRM system to check whether it's a direct or indirect procurement since all procurement processes followed in SRM will be exactly same.
Hope this provides some kind of understanding for your questions.
