MDM contract validity date

Hello,
We are using MDM catalog to host all contracts from suppliers. I would like to set validity date on the Catalog (Standard field in the CATALOG table). I also want that catalogs that are not valid anymore would not be displayed to my SRM users.
Has anyone has experience with setting some kind of view, according to the contract validity date?
Thanks in advance

Trans ME31K:Defaulting item condition validity to contract validity date

Hello Experts,
I have a request from my client which is as follows :
On transaction ME31K (Create Contract), at header I can enter a start date and an end date for the validity of my contract.
Program name : SAPMM06E
FIELD-NAMES : EKKO-KDATB & EKKO-KDATE
The users want the same date range to appear at item level for the conditions :
Select a new created Item > Conditions.
Program name :SAPMV13A
FIELD NAMES : RV13A-DATAB & RV13A-DATBI
Because, the transaction is changing the program name, it is very difficult for us to replicate the dates at the item's condition level.
Can you please suggest any idea to implement this solution ?
Thanks & Regards,
Mahesh

Hi raghavendra sai !
Thanks for the answer.
But actually, my client wants 'from date' of the items conditions to be defaulted to the date that he indicated on the contract's validity date at header (from date - EKKO-KDATB).
A contract can be created with a validity interval that starts from a past date.

Contract validity start date should be better left blank

Hello,
We have customized the contract start and end date as optional (because some time they do not know the date at the moment of the creation of the contract).
The issue is that the system propose today's date, even if the user delete the proposed date the system fill this data again.
Someone know how we have avoid this proposed date.
Cheers,
Marta

Hi Martha,
You can change the default date in Validity start period, just remove the date and enter the new date system will accepts the new validity date.
Check the document type you are using to create Contract and in IMG settings check the the field selection used against this Document type.Then set the same in define screen layout.
Also check whether any screen exit is used for this transaction in SHD0.
Might be somebody has defaulted the validity date as today's date.

Multiple Validity Dates in Contract Pricing Agreements

Hi
We are using Quantity contracts in ECC 5.0. Now business wants to maintain multiple validity dates in price agreement of contract.
When we try to create the agreement with multiple validity dates, i am getting following message:
The condition is being processed in the current session.
Message no. VK104
Diagnosis
A condition record with the same variable key is already being processed.
System response
The new record is not included in processing.
Procedure
Carry out the changes to the record that is currently being processed.
In this case we are unable to maintain multiple validity dates for same combination (Sales Document & Line Item).
Is this standard scenario? If no, how to address this issue.
Please awaiting your valuable feedback.
Regards,
Shankar

Question answered by SAP.
1. Use VK11/12 to maintain the multiple validity dates.
2. If 2 Logical systems are used, then need to use separate condition types for CRM & ECC.
3. Ensure new condition types are blocked from replicating to CRM.
Now, we are able to maintain separate condition for ECC & CRM and working satisfactorily.
Thanks

MDM Import manager data sources

Hi experts,
As far as I know MDM has ETL capabilities with MDM Import/syndicator tools that allows to load and extract data to and from MDM using files and relational databases as source/target.
What different kind of data sources supports MDM Import manager?
When should we work with SAP XI/PI?
When sould we work with ETL (Data Services as Data Integrator)?
Thanks in advance,
Abby

Hi Abigail,
So, Could you please tell me if it's a common practice to import data in MDM using files?
for example as you said, We want to import data from R/3 to MDM using XML files that XI/PI generates?
Yes its a common practice to import data in MDM in files.Most common mode of data exchange is xml which has many advantages namely it is accepted open standard,allows to clearly separate content from form (appearance), is text-oriented,is Secure, is extensible,is self-describing, is universal; meaning internationalization is no problem and XML is a future-oriented technology.
In our business scenario, We have a SAP CRM with SQL server 2005 as a source. Could MDM automatically import data directly from SQL Server or it's a better practice to generate XML files with PI using the Import Port/folder?
One should always use a interface as business rules can possibly change and making a later change could be huge ask.
So PI can act a interface between MDM and CRM.
CRM supports Bdoc and PI can integrate with CRM with help of ABAP Proxies.
The following thread provides you in depth information on integration of the 2 systems:
CRM-MDM Integration via XI

Source List validity dates for MRP only

Hi.
Is there a way to do the following:
Set purchasing view "source list required" so that the material must be purchased from ANY of the sources on the source list... AND...
Setup the source list so that there are no overlaps, and MRP sources from consecutive contracts based on the source list validity dates.
For example, 1/1/10 to 5/1/10 -> Contract A (mrp relevant); 5/2/10-10/1/10 -> Contract B (mrp relevant). But on 5/3/10 I want to be able to manually change the requisition away from "B" and release against Contract A. In other words, I want MRP to get the sourcing close to correct, but allow the user the ability to override the MRP sourcing, AND still ensure that the source the user picks is on the source list somewhere.
When I try this now, the system generates "Source list not included in list despite source list requirement." The source list checking seems to be done all the way at the validity period level.

hi,
I understood your concept. Please explain it clearly so that why this message
is appearing " Source list not included in list despite source list requirement"
can be found out

Contract Validity period expired throw error message?

Hi All,
We created the contract and its validity date expired but the system allows to create the sales order with warning message that that validity of contract expired.
We need here error message so that the system should not allow to create the sales order with reference to that contract.
Regards,

You can try this.
Go to OVA2, select "A-Sales Header" and double click on Procedures. Again select "10-Inquiry/Quotation" and double click on Fields. Now tick the box "Warning" for VBAK / BNDDT
thanks

Contract validity periods triggering

Hi Gurus,
I came to know that the contract validity periods price will trigger based on PO document creation date...
In our case
Market price is changed every quarter, and there is no way we have to wait until the new validity period to come to create PO.
For example:
Validity period 1 : July-Sep (Q3/2009)
Validity period 2 : Oct-Dec (Q4/2009)
If we want delivery in Oct, while lead time is two months (for this tinplate), we have to create PO in August. The question is now, how can I make PO taking the correct price / Q4 Price ?
Please advice how to do it ?

Hi
Please set the price date category in VMR, Contract & Purchasing inforecord to achieve your requirement.
This will be taken for valuation purpose during the Goods receipt posting.
There are few options available
     No Control
1     Purchase Order Date
2     Delivery Date
3     Current Date
4     Manual
5     GR Date
Hope it helps
Thanks / karthik

User Exit for VA41 Validity Date

Hi,
I am giving order type in VA41 Tcode and then Clicking on 'Create with Reference' .Then a Pop Up is getting generated. In this i am giving Contract created with validity date lessthan today's date(in Contract Tab).For Example i created a Contract xxxxxx with 'valid to' 9.12.2008. When I am giving this contract and clicking on 'Copy' button a Warning message is getting generated 'The sales document is only valid until 09.12.2008'. Now i have to change this into Error message instead of Warning Message.
i used User Exits mv45afzz,MV45AFZA,MV45AFZB. But the debugger is getting started only after Warning message got generated.Is there any User Exit for which debugger gets started when i give the Contract and then Click on 'Copy' button. Please Suggest.
Thanks

Hi,
Create a file say breakpoint.txt file as follows:-
[FUNCTION]
Command=/H
Title=Debugger
Type=SystemCommand
Once you come to the screen of 'Create with reference' where you are giving the contract, from second session drag the above mentiuoned file to the session where you are running VA41, & drop it here. Now debugger has been activated. Proceed with debugging. This method you can use for any of the 'POP UPs'.
I hope this helps,

Hi,
One idea. Go to VTAA (copy between sales docs) and create a new VOFM where you manage the copy control. Set a warning/error message in the new VOFM (in your range number), and try it.

Validity Date for RPTQTA00

Hi Guys,
Where do I set Validity Dates for RPTQTA00?

hello, friend.
normally, you have validity periods for contracts and quotations but not for sales orders. the reason for this is because sales orders are commitments made by the selling company to deliver a quantity of certain materials to the customer at a certain date.
in the sales order, you have several functionalities that will help you in your commitments. for example, the availability check will allow you to see if you have sufficient stocks for the commitment. the schedule line tabs will also show you if the delivery time required would allow you to bring the materials to your customer's doorstep by a certain date (sales order data also are relevant for planning and other cross-module functionality). if an adjustment in commitments is needed, these are made in the sales order before the outbound delivery is created.
hope this helped.
regards.
