Item Master in Oracle Purchasing

Greetings to All,
Im am currently working with a client. Who has the following modules installed. GL-AP-AR-Purchasing-iProcurement.
My client would like to me to create an item in Item Master. Then have that item show up in iProcurement. When a user searchs for that item. Finds it. Requisition it. That item if its listed on a Blanket Release, should be able to go against that item.
STEPS DONE SO FAR:
I have created the item...called "prt-0001" in the master org. Gave the item UOM, purchasing attributes, and price.
Ran E-Catalog Extractor.
Checked iProcurement item not found.
Item category and PO item catergory were setup before I came onboard.
Can anyone shed some light on what I am missing. Please be aware that Im a Functional Person...with little exposure to Technical side.
Thanks

Hi,
You can extract items without List Price , but that item will get extracted to iProcurement without a price then you wont be able to enter a price while creating and approving a requisition.
Steps to Tie to ASL and BPA
1. Create the item in Item Master
2. Purchasing Attributes setup completed (Also ensure PO Item Category is set)
3. Create ASL for the item in the ASL screen (Ensure its for child org / it has a site )
4. Go and create a BPA for the above supplier and site along with the item in the line details
5. Run Extractor program for classifications and items
6. Go to iProc and query for the item in Categories -- U should be able to view the same with the price as entered in BPA

Master in Oracle and explicit tablespaces

Hi All - I'm curious if anyone has installed Tidal 6.1.x without explicitly defining tablespaces. The DBA's don't define tablespaces as "Oracle has managed tablespaces for the last 4 versions."
I can update the upd.xml file for the Master database, but I'm wondering about how to handle the ClientManager cache since Tidal builds tables, views and indexes there dynamically.
Thanks for any feedback!

Item Master "Ordered" Stock but no Purchase Orders.

I'm a bit stuck with a problem in my Item Master Data. There is a quantity of 30 in the "Ordered" column under Inventory Data. But I can't seem to find the purchase orders linked to this Quantity. What am I missing?

Hi,
Check is there any open production order for this item.
Or
Right click the item and -> Inventory Status
Double click the row -> Now you can see the split up of the Quantity. Refer the below image
Above method is not working then try below,
Help -> Support Desk->Restore->Restore Item Balance
Select the appropriate item in From and TO then click OK
Now check the order quantity.

Required (Purchasing UoM) in Item Master

What is u2018Required (Purchasing UoM)u2019 in the Planning tab of Item Master? What is the purpose of setting this value? There is a validation that this value must be between the MIn and Max value. Why?

The following is the Help by SAP for these Fields:
Enter the minimum, maximum, and required inventory levels for this warehouse.
In the Required (Purchase UoM) field, the system displays the quantity needed to keep the stock at the minimum level.
The system:
● Issues alerts when the quantity goes below the minimum (Release Stock Below Minimum Level in Document Settings must be selected)
● Does not let you enter stock documents when stock reaches maximum quantity

Assign all Items from Item Master to a New Inventory Org

Hi Gurus,
Currently we have 1 Item Master Org and 7 Child Orgs in our system. We are adding one more Child Org into our system. How to assign all the Items at once from Item Master to the new Child Org? We have Oracle EBS R12.
Thanks in advance.
KM

Hello,
In 11.5.10.2 our developer added new organization to items:) I think in R12 you do not have any standard function.

Unit Price in Item Master Data

Step no.1) At time of Defining Item Master Data we are Defining Unit Price say<b> 2,000</b> <b>INR.</b> Data Saved in Price List 01.
Now with this information I am Preparing Purchase Order.After Selecting Specific Item unit price is reflecting in P.O by default, Then I modified Unit price from 2000 INR to 2500 INR in P.O.
Step no 2) I received material by Goods Receipt PO
Step no 3) When I am posting A/P Invoice based on GoodsReceipt PO in invoice the original Master Data Unit price is Reflecting.
Now vice versa I made another Transaction also in Another System.
In Step no 3 it is reflecting the Unit Price of Purchase Order.
Can I know why it gives different Information for same type of Transaction. Does I followed wrong System.
Regards
Narender

Please confirm the following.
Once you select a Price in PO it should carry all the way through at the AP Invoice and should not change unless changed manually.
Are you copying the PO > Goods Receipt PO > AP Invoice
And when copying to Goods Receipt PO or Invoice you are not changing the price or Pricelist
Pls let me know

Payment terms in Vendor Master data and purchasing info record

Hi, all, I met one trouble. While I create Purchase Order. In the header item, payment terms is automatically pop up from the data maintaining the vendor master data or purchasing info record if there is difference payment terms between in vendor master data and in purchasing info record. What happend?
Sometimes, When you create purchase order, payment terms is not automatically pop up even you maintained in the vendor master data or purchasing info record. Why? Is it meaning that I can manually to input payment terms while create each purchase order which can be difference data with vendor master data or purchase info record?
Thank you very much in advance,

Hi,
The payment terms is usually defaulted from either vendor master or purchasing master data record such as contract/outline agreement. Unless it is set through configuration that the payment terms be set as mandatory, any failure to maintain payment terms won't stop you from posting your PO as this information will only be useful during invoice receipt maintenance. Having said that if you are setting up your system with discount condition type as part of your PO pricing schema then it is necessary that the payment terms shall be maintained during PO creation.
Cheers,
HT

How to Setup a Valid Vacation Rule for Purchasing Notifications (Doc ID 378023.1)
Goal
What steps are required for proper setup of a Vacation Rule for routing of Purchasing Notifications?
Fix
1. Enter the Notification Summary or Worklist for a user
2. Select the "Vacation Rule" link
3. Select the "Create New Rule" link
4. For Item Type select "All" for all Notifications or select the desired Notification Type from List of Values
5. Select the "Next" link to proceed to the next setup page for the rule
6. Enter both a a valid Start and End Date for the new rule
7. Ensure the "Reassign" radio button is selected
8. Keep "All Employees and Users" in the menu box
9. Select the "Delegate" radio button - Assign/Reassign action is prohibited for Purchasing Notifications
10. Select the Flashlight icon next to the blank menu box for selecting a user
11. A new sub-screen should pop-up to perform the user search
12. For "Search By" select "Username" - (DO NOT search by Name)
13. Perform the needed wildcard (%) search at the top of the page to locate the desired username
14. Click the radio button next to the desired name of the user to have the notifications sent to
15. Press the "Select" button followed by the "Apply" button
16. Continue on with the saving of the Vacation Rule for latter use
Note:
The key to setting-up a valid Vacation Rule is to ensure the rule is tied to a Username rather then the Full Name of the desired user. The reason for this is that the Worklist and Notification Summary for the user is linked to their username and not full name record.

Lead Time in Item Master

Hi
Does Lead Time in Item Master respect weekends and only count working days?
Meaning, for two weeks do I enter 10 or 14?
Thanks
Franz

Hi Franz
As far as I know, NO. You only have the option to include holidays in the MRP wizard itself which will then calculate against lead times. Best would be to test on a test database with both scenarios (with 10 or 14, and tick/untick holidays in MRP) and see what the results are.
According to the Online Help the above is correct:
Consider Holiday Table for Production Planning Factors in holidays and weekends in lead time calculation, as defined in the Holiday Details window. Holidays and weekends increase the lead time interval for MRP calculations.
Consider Holiday Table for Purchase Planning Factors in holidays and weekends in lead time calculations, as defined in the Holiday Details window. Holidays and weekends increase the lead time interval for MRP calculations.
Kind regards

Item master

Hi,
My client have a new requirement.They have several item master, for every item they have 4 manufacturers and the 4 manufacturers have operational numbers induvidually... the main problem is evry item has different manufacturers and operational numbers. In purchase order if they choose the item it sholuld display the given manufacturers and operational numbers and they will choose the desired manufacturer and the relavant operational number. is it possible to do that in sap.
regards,
Vignesh.R

Hi Vignesh.....
Here you can have a simple work around.
Create a Master Type UDO which has Master Row UDO as child where put the Items in Master UDO and you can link manufacturer to single Item as many as you want. And this way you can achieve your requirement.....

Relation between item master org and operating Unit

How single item master org can relate to multiple operating Unit so that items defined at Master Org level can be accessed in other operating units ?

Hi,
Item will be accessed in inventory organizations which you assigned the item to.
To access items from particular Operating Unit in Purchasing module
define Operating Unit Organization as a Inventory Organization as well.
Then choose this Organization as a Inventory Organization in Purchasing : Setup>Organizations>Financial Options.
In Order Management you choose an Operating Unit which items can be accessed.
Each item assign to Item Master Organization and to Operating Unit Organization and to required Inventory Organizations.
This works in 11i. I dont know how it is in R12.

Marcin

Hi! is there anyone, who used SAP B12007 for more than 1,00,000 item master data? I would like to know the issues in this context, if there is any.
