2. In the following screen highlight the line item and click on create (F6) button in the tool bar (First one from left)
3. In the following screen inside grid maintain price in amount column agains the condition type
If you have done the above steps then AUTO should work

How to reflect variable price in outline agreement

We procure many very complex tools that have options which significantly affect the price of that tool. We would like to be able to reflect those price differences in the outline agreement by option within the following boundary conditions.
1. Do not want to create a new material master for each option
2. Do not want to utilize BOM
3. We are buying the tool so sales order solutions won't work for us
I have looked at configurable materials where I set up characteristics to reflect the options but I have not been able to figure out a way to price those individual options. I do see how I could create multiple line items on the outline agreement for the same material and put unique combinations of the option characteristics in individual lines but that means I have to create a line item per option combination permutation which is much more painful than simply pricing individual options. I also haven't seen any way to get SAP to select the correct line item based on these characteristics when doing source selection on the PR or PO. I have started looking at variant pricing but that is completely new to me and I am not sure if that is going to go in the direction I want. My fear is that this just allows me to price a combination of characteristics vs. pricing individual characteristics then combining the prices at the time of purchase (no different that having to create an OA line item per option combination permutation). My apologies in advance for the convoluted message but it is difficult to ask about solutions when you are not sure what functionality potentially exists.
Thanks,
Ben

Outline Agreements - min order qty and regular vendor flag

As a part of E Source Integration with ECC we are planning to leverageusing Outline Agreement(Contract Type MK) to store
Price and other Business Terms for Material / Vendor combinations. Currently we are
using Purchase Information Record with minimum order quantity and
regular vendor flag functionalities, and these are maintained manually.
We intend to use Minimum Order qty and Regular Vendor Flag
indicator in Outline Agreement as well, however noticed that these fields are
not available in the screens. Does anyone know if these fields can be enabled in an outline agreement?

Guys
thanks for reply..
But I thnik my question was not fully clear as the aswers didn't make sense to me...
As a logistics consultant .I know that I can maintain Min Order qty for a material + vendor at PIR level..
My question ..if I buy 10 items in a PO from a sinle vendor..is there any option to restrict Min qrder qty for these combination of materials..
or in other words vendor says he dont care about number of items ,but the lot lot should be min..10 cartons only..
appropriate points will be rewarded.
thanks in advance.

Outline agreement or automatic schedule from scheduling agreement

Hello Master's,
Plz find the below workflow which will brief u abt the complete process;-
1.User raises indent(me51n) and then releases(me54n) else as per our MRP, indent/PR gets generated automatically.
2. Standard Practice is that we invite offers, negotiate and place order (me21n) else f we have rate contract for any item we go for direct ordering (me21n) and then get it released (me29n)
For around 20-30k material codes we have rate contract finalized with various suppliers for a period of time.
When we find any indent/pr falling into this category, we dont invite offer but go for ordering as per the finalized price. The price is maintained in excel or pdf format.
Problem is we want to map material codes with vendor and rates associated with the contract.
For this either we have to go for outline agreement(me31k) of scheduling agreement(me31l) so that whenever any indent/PR gets generated in this category, order/delivery schedule will be generated automatically in SAP.
Points in which i need help from you:-
1. How to generate automatic po from outline agreement or automatic schedule from scheduling agreement.
2. complete understanding of the difference between outline agreement and scheduling agreement.

Hi Nilson,
The data contained within the global outline agreement is distributed as purchasing contracts or scheduling agreements to the backend systems of the release-authorized purchasing organizations of the relevant corporate group. These purchasing organizations can then use the purchasing contracts or scheduling agreements according to the terms agreed centrally within the global outline agreement.
For more details.

Outline Agreement of FS Contarcts

Dear experts,
I'm struggling to try to understand how CRM Outline Agreements works.
Basically I can see that the standard solution privides two kinds of OA:
1. Promo Agreement: trans type DP, item categ DPI
2. Master Agreement: trans type MA, item categ MAF.
II succeeded in understand Promo Agreement, with which I can add third party subvention going to automatically add a Third Party Relationship on the FS contract, according to the access sequences defined in customizing.
Regarding Master Agreement, I already noticed that the determination on contract is customized differently in of respect DP, but is not such a problem.
I'm facing great difficulties in managing price agreements, payment structure and in reporting the results on the FS contract.
Do anyone has a "Best practice documentation" on how to manage and customize an Outline Agreement MA?
- Price agreements: It often gives errors (i.e.: when you try to maintain condition records pricing agreement the condition record is disappears from display during creation.).
I currently assigned a cond function group to the item category MAF to which is assigned a condition type with an access sequence containing the following accesses:
10     SAP00090
20     SAP00099
30     SAP00089
- Payment structure: I cannot insert flow categories in the payment structure of the OA item because the system gives the following error:
tem 1000: Payt struc.: You must enter a flow category before the first program run
Diagnosis
You have not entered a flow category for a step in the payment structure. You must enter a flow category before the first program run, otherwise you must change the flow category later. However, you are not then permitted to change the flow category group.
Procedure
Delete this row and insert a new row in the payment structure. Enter a flow category before the first program run.
When I create an FS Contract and the OA is determined in it, I cannot see any result such as, for example, the price agreement.
Do anyone knows how the outline agreement MA affects the FS contract?
Do anyone knows how to insert the payment structure on the outline agreement's item?
Thanks and regards
Dario

Hello,
Item category 'W' in a contract is not meant for automatic creation of a purchase order. It does not have a net price, where do you expect the system to pick this price from? Tax code only comes in later. Your error also talks about that.
The material group contracts can be used to keep track of orders so that they do not exceed a value limit.
In case, you do not know the material at the time of contract/ or have many similar type of materials use item category 'M' Material instead. In this you can specify price as well as tax code and use for auto POs.

Delivery date for outline agreement requisition

Hi all,
When I create a purchase requisition (ME51N) for a non stock material, for example, using req type NB or FO, the delivery date defaults to the current date. If I create a req with the same information but using type RV (outline agreement) the delivery date defaults to blank. I found out that in the IMG, under the req doc type config, the type RV is associated with the "Control indicator for purchasing document type" = R (Purchase requisition for outline agreement). If I clear this field, the delivery date starts defaulting to the current date. I created 2 reqs side by side (one with the indicator "R" and the other without) and I did not find any difference except for the delivery date. Does anyone know what the impact is to clear field V_T161-BSAKZ for doc type RV?
Thanks.

Hi
The control indicator "R" determines Filed selection. ie Which requires mandatory or optional. For Doc types RV field selection groups is RVB , in that Delivery date is not a Required/optional/Dsiplay field., this works in conjunction with control indicator "R".
Hence when you try to create with Doc type RV and control indiactor "R" it is not propsoding the current date. When you remove Control indicator "R" the field selcetion groups becomes NBB , in that Delviery date is Required filed, so the system proposes the current date .
The impact of removal of control indicator "R" is nothing.

Notes
Master conditions
When creating outline agreements, you can specify only one period per variable key. This means that just one period can be specified for the document header (i.e. condition table A019). The same applies to each item (i.e. condition table A016) and to each item/plant combination (i.e. condition table A068).
You can use any periods. However they must not overlap for a variable key.
When conditions are changed, new condition records are nevertheless written.
Because volume rebate conditions are not taken into account in outline agreements, they are not processed.
No subitems (e.g. inclusive/exclusive bonus quantities, display, etc.) are taken into account.
The control key for quality management in procurement (EKPO-SSQSS) and the certificate category (EKPO-ZGTYP) are only taken into account to a certain extent. These two items of information are copied from the reference contract or material master, but cannot be changed; neither are any checks carried out for these two fields.
The revision level (EKPO-REVLV) cannot be changed because various quality management routines were not implemented.
Version management (Document Change Management) is not supported.
External services (planned or unplanned) are not supported.
The creation or changing of configurations is not supported.
Further information
When a purchase contract is changed (activity 02), the following authorization objects are checked:
M_RAHM_BSA Document type in contract
M_RAHM_EKG Purchasing group in contract
M_RAHM_EKO Purchasing organization in contract
M_RAHM_WRK Plant in contract

Outline agreement with different item prices

Hi,
I have some outline agreements with different prices. The prices is based on the quantity purchased on the period of the contract:
Example: for the first 100000 items the price is 4u20AC, beetwen 100001 and 200000 it is 3,9u20AC and after it is 3,85u20AC.
1st purchase order 50000pc, price 4u20AC*50000 = 2000000u20AC
2nd purchase order 60000pc, price 500004u20AC + 100003,9u20AC = 239000u20AC
how to do this for one division and for several division (the contract can be used by all the divisions)?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Do either quantity contract or value contract and maintain scales in that for your requirement. Whenever you raise purchase order with respect to contract, it will take the value according to the quantity you maintained in the scales.
or
Maintain info record for that material,plant,vendor combination. In that, maintain scales according to your requirement. Then whenever you raise purchase order with reference to that contract, according to that scales maintained in info record, it will take the value.

Issue with outline agreement

Hi all,
I need to find the outline agreement price for a material. I have retrieved that material from ekpo based on bstyp = k (contract) and displaying the price.
But for some materials the price i see in ekpo differs from that i see on me33k for the same contract and same item
The reason for this bacause of validity periods
i have 2 validity periods
01/01/2007 04/30/2007
05/01/2007 12/31/9999
The contract iam looking at has a creation date of 04/25/2007 and the price is $200 but since the sy-datum falls under second interval it shows me a price of $202 but the ekpo stores $200 . Can anyone tell me how to retrieve the latest price i.e $202- This is Gross price Condition PB00
Thanks

Hi

Automatic po from outline agreement

Eventhough i have maintained outline agreement against material codes, as well as checked auto po and source in material master and auto po in vendor master, and the PR is even release. while running me59n it says, message no.ME261 ( No suitable purchase requisitions found).
P.s: Even the source determination in the PR has been checked.

Please check if the PR is subjected to any release strategy, if yes - check if it is released or not.
If released then check the Source of supply tab in the PR, is it assigned with the outline agreement or not.
If yes then the check if you manually enter the PR all the details are pulled into the PO or not and correct based on the error.
If no error then pass it thorugh ME59N and recheck.

Difference B/w Framework & Outline Agreement

Hi Gurus
I am new to SAP MM, can anyone please tell me the difference b/w framework orders and outline orders/ agreement.
General examples of this regard will be very helpful.
Regards
Imran

Dear,
A Frame work order is :
Purchasing document used for the procurement of materials or external services. Instead of stipulating a specific delivery date, this type of purchase order has an extended validity period. Goods or services can be supplied or performed against it over this period without the need for any further written instruction to be issued by the buying entity.
Framework orders are defined with document type FO. They are used in accelerated procurement processes in connection with preventive maintenance (servicing) plans or invoicing plans, and for blanket purchase orders (purchase orders with specified limits).
A framework order covers multiple procurement transactions over a longer period in cases where the administrative costs of processing discrete POs would be disproportionately high.
An Outline agreement is :
Outline agreement also referred as Contract in SAP.
Outline Agreement can be of 2 types:- Contract and SA.
Contract is where you have a contract with the vendor,may be a for a predetermined quantity or predefined value. So everytime you need the material, you need to make PO ref the contract asking for the delivery of the material. In such instance when PO is ref with contract its called contract release orders or call off orders.
Scheduling agreement is a long term purchase agreement, where you will keep issuing the delivery schedules whenever there is a change in requirement or at predetermined time intervals. The delivery schedule can be on hour/daily/weekly/monthly basis. But it will contain different zones viz. firm/tradeoff/Forecast. Firm zone schedules are confirmed requirement and need to be taken by ordered party. Tradeoff zone requirement is to purchase the raw materails and ordering party is liable to pay raw material cost, in case of requirement cancellation. Forecast zone requirement is to help the vendor to plan his requirements.
SA is also an agreement with the vendor for the supply of matl, may be a quanity or value. The delivery dates will be maintained in ME38 ref the SA which are called delivery schedules.So you can maintain the delivery schedule and communicate the vendor on Forecase basis or JIT basis. And when you need some more matl then will only create SA deliveries using ME38. SA could be of 2 types:- without release documentation-system will transmit the delivery info to the vendor once you save the document.
With release documentation- after creating the delivery schedules you need to create SA release using ME84.
The main difference between contract and SA is volume of docs generated would be higher in contract since everytime you need to make a PO ref the contract and its time consuming, whereas SA can be integrated with MRP such that it automatically creates delivery schedules during MRP run provided if there is a requirement to the matl.

Syed Hussain.

Global outline agreement and Delivery schedule

Hi experts.
I am in SRM 5.5, ECC 5.0 as backend in ECS.
I would like to have some information about relation between Global outline agreement and Delivery schedule of ECC.
Can I create GOAs and replicate to ECC as Delivery schedule for automatic generation of schedule lines?
The schedule lines generated afted MRP run goes to SRM or only goes to SUS if required?
Thanks
Nilson

Hi Nilson,
The data contained within the global outline agreement is distributed as purchasing contracts or scheduling agreements to the backend systems of the release-authorized purchasing organizations of the relevant corporate group. These purchasing organizations can then use the purchasing contracts or scheduling agreements according to the terms agreed centrally within the global outline agreement.
For more details.
