Material Group in the Info Record and PO

We have the scenario of an info record that is "standard" and "sub-contracting". When you display the info record for either category using ME13, it has the value for material group in the general data screen. Technical Assistance tells me this value is found in EINA-MATKL. However, when I do an extract for the info record from EINA, the field is blank.
My two info records (standard and sub-contracting) in EINE were created differently. The standard one was created using ME11 and a plant was entered. Because a plant was entered, the material group value was not required. The sub-contracting info record was automatically created when the PO was created (InfoUpdate button is on). In the PO, the material group was also entered; however, a plant was not added to the info record because we do not have EVO set up to include the plant when the info record is automatically created. (This is something I can change).
This is very confusing when we are looking at these info records and it appears data should be there but it is not. This most noticeably happens with the ones that are getting created automatically and then a different category is created using ME11. Are we are missing some addl requirements in configuration when these records are being created automatically????
Can someone please explain???? I need to come up with a solution to this problem.

If you want to enter diff ordre unit than in the PIR
In this case in the material master purchasing screen you have to activate the var order unit
enter 2 here
now go to your info record and on general data screen you will see the field var ordre unit
here enter 2
than click on conditon from menu
system will popup the order unit screen
here keep cursor on box and click choose
now it will allow you to maintain the box price also
once you do this than it will automatically defult in the Po upon selection.

How to make the price in PO to adopt from info-record and not changeable?

Hi Xperts,
Can somebody explain to me how to set the PO price to be adopted from the info-record and is NOT CHANGEABLE at the creation and change of PO screen. I know that i can configure the field selection for the PO type to be "price as display" only. Any other solution?
Thanks.

Hi!
tick the check box info-update at the item detail under master data tab in a PO.
its significance is as follows:-
Info record update
    Determines whether the prices and conditions of this purchase order item
    are suggested in future PO items.
Use
    Selecting InfoUpdate causes one of the following situations to occur:
        -   If just one info record (with or without plant) exists, it is
            updated.
        -   If no info record exists and "plant condition requirement" was
            specified in Customizing, an info record with plant is created.
            Otherwise, an info record without plant is created.
        -   If two info records exist (that is, one info record with plant
            and one without plant) the info record with plant is updated.
Dependencies
     You can specify that prices and conditions in purchasing info records
     are only allowed at plant level in the Purchasing IMG, under Conditions
     -> Define Condition Control at Plant Level.
Hope this helps you,

Vendor info record and pricing procedure

Hi,
      When we create PO,
1.How the system will determine info record in that PO?
2.What is the need and role of this info record in PO?
3.What are the factors determines pricing procedure in PO?
   Plz send me detailed information.

1.How the system will determine info record in that PO?
Info record is an information record between Material & Vendor..
the Info record will have the combination of
Vendor, Material,Purchasing Org & Plant
If you raise any PO basing on this combination the info record will trigger automatically
2.What is the need and role of this info record in PO?
   The details maintained in MMD are Valuation purpose only,
for procurement the info record is used to get the details automatically,
Like Basic Price, Discount, Purchase Value Key,Scales etc...
3.What are the factors determines pricing procedure in PO?
   Price determination is based on Vendor Schema & Purchase Org Schema..
   basing on the above combination Pricing procedure will be determined.
But where to pick up the price of Pricing procedure depends upon the Access Sequence.
In the access sequence we will define where to search first & next etc..

Price difference between PO and the Info Record

Dear Experts,
I am seeing a strange problem in the MM pricing, the issue is when i am trying to create a new PO for a specific material the condition record is being updated with the wrong price, when i checked the Info Record it has two prices old and new(currently valid), but when creating the PO the material is always picking the old price always, can you pl. give me a thought where the problem could be appearing ?
I tried to check all the dates, and everything is fine.
Thanks for your valuable inputs.
Regards,
RK

Hi Ravi
As you said if inforecord has 2 price 2 validity date created at the same time , in that case at table level first price and date is saved ..when old dates gets over ..in table, updation of new price is not done ..there is one program RM06INP0 which you can run and update the table with correct info record price ,so after that you can create PO and it should pick the correct price from Info records.
Check
Awaiting your reply.

SRM and the Info record

Hi,
If I use a Classic Scenario the info record is a source of supply. So, we need to delete it when we implement the SRM.
How do I do with the costs calcutation?
The variants use the info record as a base to do the calculation.
Thanks for the help
Evelyn

Hi Evelyn
As i understand, you want to use the info record for the costs calculation SAP ERP.
But you don´t want the info records to appear as source of supply in SAP SRM.
To solve this i suggest to implement the BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI in SRM and delete the info record information from the positions:
Importing Structure is "it_item" field "BE_INFO_REC".
Alternativ you can implement the Sourcing Badi´s: BBP_SOS_BADI
Best regards,
David

How do I get ALL the info records for a materials plants using an SAP FM?

I need to get all of the info records from the EINE table for a material - all of its sites (plants, we are using SAP retail).
The problem is this: I call the FM MD_INFORECORDS_READ - here is the code for my call:
CALL FUNCTION 'MD_INFORECORDS_READ'
          EXPORTING
            imatnr               = t_output_data-article <-- the material number
            iliefnr              = lv_eina_key < -- see below on how I get this
          importing
            eeine                =
          TABLES
            exp_eina             = it_eina
            exp_eine             = it_eine
          EXCEPTIONS
            no_eina_record_found = 2
            no_eine_record_found = 3.
lv_eina_key is taken from this call:
SELECT SINGLE altkn INTO lv_vendor_no
        FROM lfb1
        WHERE lifnr = lv_site (plant)
        AND bukrs = t_output_data-company_code.
The probelm is it only returns the first record it finds for each site. There could be multiple info records, each one based a a different Valid From date for each site. I need either ALL of the EINE records for each site OR the most current one
I know I am not using ALl of the parms in the FM - but are there maybe there are other ones should I be using.
Perhaps there is there another FM I should be using - cause I do not have the info record number to pass.
Thanks.
Scott

Never mind - the FM does work - this was bad data.

Linking document info record and purchase order

Hi all,
I hope that someone can help me because I'm having a problem with creating links between document info records and purchase orders.
By default in SAP I can create links between document info record and purchase order ITEMS! When I create that link, I can see it in document info record under Object links tab, but when I double click on the number of purchase order nothing happens (I expected that this purchase order will open).
Why is that so?
Why can't I access purchase order from document info record even though the link exists?
The other question is about creating object links to purchase orders, not purchase order items! Is it possible to link document info record with purchase order?
I would appreciate quick answer because we're in the middle of a project and we're stuck with that problem.
Thanks!

Hi Karlo,
As you mentioned, object links could be linked to Purchase order items. In customisation you maintain these entries under the node SPRO > Cross Application Components> Document Management--> Control Data --> Define Document Types --> Define Object Links.
There are many links in the standard system (possible entries).
The system automatically determines the screen number (dialog box) where the key data for the object is maintained for document maintenance.
You can check the screens when the screen entry is missing or contains errors by doing the following:
Start the Object Navigator and display the objects for the development class CV.
Expand the function group 130. The structure nodescreens lista all screens that can be used for object links.
You can make an object link to SAP objects that are not shown in the possible entries list. To do this, proceed as follows:
In the standard system, there are already two special screens for the module pools SAPLCV130 and SAPLCV140 for the linked SAP object.
You must create two new screens with the same number for the module pools SAPLCV130 and SAPLCV140 .
The processing logic must follow that of screen 1204 in program SAPLVC130.
Create function module OBJECT_CHECK_XXXX (XXXX = object name)
If the object can be classified, this function module already exists .
Otherwise copy the function module for linking equipment DOCUMENT_CHECK_EQUI and change it as required for the new object.
Hope the above instruction helps in solving your problem,
Sojan

Purchase info record and Contract are not reflected in SC

Hi...
while i am creating a shopping cart in SRM for a particular product... i am not able to find the Purchase info record or Contract in SC - Source of supply tab...
I maintained the Purchase info record and Contract for the particular material in Backend(4.7n).
Plz throw some lights on this...
thx....

Hi
if you are using classic scenario it might have dispalyed in SOS.
check info records/contracts are existed in backend for your product in srm?
is your cart is special request(describe requirement ) or internal goods and services?
if you are in ecs mode. it is not possible to see your inforecord/ backend contract in srm sos window

Info Record and Purchase Req

I created a purchase Req and when and I have following doubts in this.
1. Once I entered plant itu2019s automatically populating storage location. Material maintained for different storage locations but I am not sure how it's populating specific one.
2. One I click on source of supply it shows me different info record and I selected one of the info record for assigning the source. How this process is different from mE57.To me both look same.
3. I created the PO and I entered different price then info record and my info update was checked but still it didn't update info record with new price. Any suggestion why?
Thanks

hi,
1. You would be maintaining the MRP view of the MMR....Never forget the possible assignment for the Plant to the storage location is provided in the SPRO enterprise structure for the MM....
2. Yes the process is merely same...Also never forget that there may be many inforecords for the vendor material, based on the different organisatinal levels provided and for its combinations...
3. THe price never gets updated in the info record, but always the PO price history gets updated...you can see the PO price history in transaction ME1P...

Info record and pro

How does Info Record tie in the procurement cycle, or how does it integrates with the purchase cycle
Thanks
Ganga

Hi,
Purchasing Info Records serves as a source of information for Purchasing. The purchasing info record (also referred to in abbreviated form as the "info record") contains information on a specific material and a vendor supplying the material. For example, the vendor's current pricing is stored in the info record.
The info record allows buyers to quickly determine:
Which materials have been previously offered or supplied by a specific vendor
Which vendors have offered or supplied a specific material structure.
Content of an Info Record:
The info record contains:
Data such as prices and conditions that you can store for the relevant purchasing organization or plant.
The number of the last purchase order.
Tolerance limits for overdeliveries and underdeliveries.
The planned delivery time (lead time required by the vendor to deliver the material).
Vendor evaluation data.
An indicator showing whether the vendor counts as the regular vendor for the material.
The vendor sub-range to which the material belongs.
The availability period during which the vendor can supply the material.
The info record contains quotation and ordering data. The data in the info record (prices for example) is also used as default data for purchase orders.
For instance, you can store the current and future quotation conditions (discounts, fixed costs etc.) in the info record, in order to be able to copy them into Pos. You can also maintain the vendoru2019s conditions directly in the info record.
Organizational Levels:
An info record can apply to the following organizational levels:
Purchasing organization
Plant
Procurement Types in Info Records:
Standard
A standard info record contains information for standard purchase orders. The info records can be created for materials and services with and without master records.
Subcontracting
A subcontractor info record contains ordering information for subcontract orders. For example, if you subcontract the assembly of a component, the subcontractor info record would include the vendor's (subcontractoru2019s) price for assembling the component.
Pipeline
A pipeline info record contains information on a vendoru2019s commodity that is supplied through a pipeline or pipes (for example, oil or water) or by similar means (for example, electricity through the mains). The info record contains the vendoru2019s price for the consumption of such commodities by the buyer ("pipeline withdrawals"). You can store withdrawal/usage prices for different validity periods.
Consignment
A consignment info record contains information on a material that vendors keep available at their own cost on the ordereru2019s premises. The info record contains the vendoru2019s price for withdrawals by the orderer from consignment stock. As in the case of the pipeline info record, you can store prices for different validity periods.
Order Price History
The purchase order price history logs the various prices charged for a material by a vendor.
Texts in the Info Record
The info record contains the following text types:
Info record memo
An internal note or comment that is adopted in the PO item. The info record memo is not printed out.
PO text in info record
This text serves to describe the order item and corresponds to the PO text in the material master record. It is adopted in the PO item and included in the printout.
Short text
For material that has a material master record, the short text (short description) is adopted directly from the material master record in the PO or the outline purchase agreement.
PO Text in Info Record Versus PO Text in Material Master Record
For an info record linked to a material master record, you can specify for each purchasing organization whether:
Only the info record PO text is to be displayed and printed in purchasing documents (To do so, set the indicator No m. text in the purchasing organization data of the info record)
or
Both the info record PO text and the material master record PO text are to be displayed and printed in purchasing documents
Both texts are displayed and printed if the indicator No m. text is not set.
Reward if useful.

Info Record and Costing

Hello Sapients,
I carried out ck11n for a semi finished material.
System is pulling the price of a raw material from the info record.
Lets say for the same material we maintain two info records.
And both the info records are maintained in the source list.
How does the system know to pick the price from which info record.
In the configuration of the valuation variant:
Material Valuation =Price from info record.
Sub strategy = A quotation price from condition table.
Could some one please advise from which info record the system wil pull the price for the raw material.
Thanks and Regards
Ravi

<b>This is the documentation on valuation strategy, how the valuation determines the price:
In your example if material valuation = price from info record is strategy 1 and
Sub strategy = a quotation price from condition is strategy 2
then system will prick up the price from strategy 1. If there is no value found for this strategy then the system will pick up the value from strategy 2.</b><b>You can enter a single strategy, or you can enter multiple strategies in the form of a strategy sequence. If you enter multiple strategies, the priority of the strategy determines what price or what values are selected.
Examples
Assume that the following strategy sequence is entered for material valuation:
1. Planned price 1
2. Standard price
3. Moving average price
If the system finds a value in the Planned price 1 field (costing view), this value is taken as the value for valuating the material.
If the system does not find a value, the value in the Standard price field (accounting view) is used.
If the material does not have a standard price, the system uses the value from the Moving average price field.</b>

Info record and source list mandatory for PO creation?

Hi Gurus,
Client wants to make Info record and source list mandatory for PO creation?
If Inforec and source list not available for that material, then user can't able to create PO.
How can I achieve this requirement?
Any user exit available?
pls help..

Hi ,
SproMM-Purchasing -Source ListDefine Source List Requirement at Plant Level
If u mark the indicator then the Source list is mandatory for all the materials procured.
If u want for a speciic material , mark it in purchasing view of Material Master.
Inorder to create a source list , inforecord is mandatory -- this is by default Standard SAP .

Purchasing Info Record and Source list

Hi all,
I am using purchasing info record along with a price for the vendor and material. This would get the net price into the Purchase order. Do i really need to create source list ? What will source list do for me ? Wouldn't having info record be sufficient ?
Looking forward to hear your suggestions.
Thank you.
Joyce

Hi Joyce,
If you have not maintained valid conditions in your Pur info record then price is picked from last purchase order through purchase order price history if customizing settings allow so (In your case if customizing settings allow and the net price 100 in the info record is not from valid conditions, price picked will be 250).
In the price determination process in PO system always first looks for pur info records with valid conditions if not found then it looks for last PO price.
There is also a parameter for default values for buyers called EVO. If you make settings in customizing for this parameter and tick the Chkbox for picking the last purchase order price in it and you attach this parameter to your user ID in the user-own data with PI value, then last PO price is picked as default value in the net price.

Source List -
The source list is used in the administration of sources of supply. It specifies the allowed (and disallowed) sources of a material for a certain plant within a predefined period. Each source is defined by means of a source list record.
The source list serves:
To define a source of supply as "fixed". Such sources count as preferred sources over a certain period of time.(For example, the fixed vendor for material 1 is X for the first quarter and Yfor the second quarter of the year.)
To define a source of supply as "blocked".(This means, for example, that contract 123 may not be used for a certain period of time.)
As an aid in selecting the preferred source during the source determination process.(For example, the vendor A is determined as the source for an item of a requisition dated 15th June relating to material 1.)
To block the external procurement of a material

Rahul.

Purchasing Group in Purchase Info Record

Hello Gurus,
The Purchasing Group in Purchasing Info Record is not read at Purchase Requisitions...
My operation is as below;
1. Create Purchasing Requisitions via MRP
2. Assign Fixed Vendor at MD57 or via Source List ( when source list, Fixed Vendor will be assigned at MRP)
3. Vendor and sometimes Purchase info rec # are assigned to Purchase Requirement
But Purchasing Group is not assigned to Purchase Requisition.
I understood that Price is not assigned at Purchase Requisitions, but nor Purchasing Group is not assigned although it is mandatory field in Purchase Info Record at SAP standard..
Would you tell me how to read Purchasing Group from Purchasing Info Records into Purchase Requisitions?
Best Regards,
AK

Hello,
Hm, now it is like this;
- Actually, One Purchase Organization is fixed for the Plant
- But since we use the same purchase organization, the organization customization was set as below;
    -- Purchase Organization- Company Code: Blank for the Purchase Organization
    -- Plant - Purchase Organization: one Purchase Organization is set for all the Plants
    -- Plant - default Purchase Organization: blank since this seems to be effective only for consignment etc
-> And the PR which was created via MRP, there is no Purchase Organization assigned....
I do not know why...we have Plant in the PR but blank for Purchase Organization..
And it seems that, if I could assign purchase organization to PR via MRP, Purchase Group should be read into PR..
