ME21N Varaint selection

Hi All,
I have a problem for which I am trying to find solution but failing to find one.. Need your help here.
   In ME21N T-code , you will see document overview on the left side , under that the first button selection variant will be there .
   Once you click the button you get the list of functions which are nothing but Queries .
   In an user exit I have made sure that there is a custom query which comes over there once user click on the selection variant.
   Once he click on the custom function ( Query ) he will get the selection screen and based on that he will get the O/P on the left side which are
   nothing but all the purchase requisitions , so I have given the query name that I have created in the user exit. So that user can drag and drop the
   Purchase req and create the PO's.
   Now every thing is working fine here , once the user goes to ME21N selects my query and he gets the report , and leaves ME21N T-code.
   Now if he comes again in to ME21N , its trying to pick all the data again from the query , as that is the last executed Query and its taking too much
   time to show ME21N T-code and some times it goes for a dump.
I tried searching for the user Exits for that but couldn't , can you let me know if there is a way where once the users exits ME21N the query names and its data should also be cleared.
Pls let me know as this is urgent.
Thanks,
Naidu

Hi Srini,
did you create a layout for your variant as explained in the sap help?
Check if this helps you:

Adding Network field in Me21n

Hi All
We need to add a network field (EKKN-NPLNR) in the Me21n dynamic selection.
Goto Me21n-->documet overview on --> purchase orders --> (Will show a selection screen)click the dynamic section button .It ll show list of fields .Is it possible to add the network field in that.
Basically a query has been written using logical database MEPOLDB.If i go into that logical database it is showing network field for selection.But when i go thro' Me21 it is not showing .
Is there anyway to get this field.
Thanks in Advance
Raj.

Hi,
     Another way of doing the same is to use screen-exits for the transaction. You can use the standard enhancement MM06E005 in SMOD for the Purchasing related custom fields. You can add the fields in the screens 0101, 0111 of program SAPLXM06 to get the fields in the tab 'Customer Data' at header level and item level for ME* transactions.
EXIT_SAPMM06E_006
EXIT_SAPMM06E_007
EXIT_SAPMM06E_008
                    are the function modules where u need to do the coding.
and the fields u have added need to be included in the includes
CI_EKKODB
CI_EKPODB
of EKKO and EKPO for header level and item level respectively.

Plant defauls - me21n

hi,
while creating the PO through ME21N, plant field is getting grey(display only) if we enter any field before entering plant data.
i checked the same in define screen layout of PO for NBF and with transaction codes, me21,me21n,me22n...etc,
i can mention the plant in ME21n, before entering any field, but if i enterd any field(except plant), later it is not allowing to put the plant.
can any body help

Hi shenoi,
I understood what u r asking. Pls check the plant filed for the filed selection key ME21n - Purchase Order in the "define screen layout at document lavel" screen.
Both NBF and ME21n filed selection keys will have effect on the fileds when u r executing ME21n transaction. If u set the fields as optional, diplay etc in ME21n field selection key say for example plant if u set as diplay for any document type plant will be diplayed when execute ME21n. Hope now it will be clear for u.

MPN not appearing in PO

Our client wanted to use MPN fuctionality in MM.
I had a trial in the system with following.
Mainatained the MPN profile in materail Master.
Maintained the MPN in the purchasing view of material master.
I created a PR for this material, MPN appears in Material data
tabview. When I create a PO with ref to this PR, MPN not
appearing in Materil data tab. Direct PO made with same
material also not showing the MPN.
MPN is enabled in field selection setting and ME21n
transaction.
Will someone help me to solve this issue.
Thanks and Regards
PK

First Understand the Process of Manufacturer Part Profile :
Create External No ranges for Vendor Account Group MNFR and save.
Now Create Each Make / Manufacturer like ABB as one Vendor in XK01 Trxn code.
Create Material Code original say XXXX in MM01 with ROH material type. (for eg Transistor which is available with ABB & Seimens make)
Create material code for ABB make say 11with Material type HERS which contain only two views (Basic Data & Purchasing) and give Make, Original material No & Material group and other details and save.
Create material code for Seimens make say 12with Material type HERS which contain only two views (Basic Data & Purchasing) and give Make, Original material No & Material group and other details and save.
Create a Purchase order with original Material XXXX, then it will ask for mnfg part profile then select the material and click F4 on it it will show you the created mfg part nos like ABB 11 & seimes 12 and select one and save.
Prerequisite is you have to Activate Mfg part profile in OMPN trxn code
And in Material master Purchasing View Select the mfg part profile and save
Even if you set the Mfg part number in Display mode in SPRO settings system will throw the same error.
Now What can be done is :
Either go to ME21N and Select material tab after inputting and press f4 and select Manufacturer part number options then system will showe the list of mfg part number maintained to that material select the desired and save.
Else go to MM02 Purchasing View and in Mfg part Profile tab there must be a four charecter profile assigned to field Remove this and save.
The Second option is not a good practice.

Contract , PO and PR

Dear Expert
We are having a 3 department one is dealing with vendor so they create contracts with the vendor and other is meant for po creation and third one is a user department which create PR either manually or through MRP . So the client require that po should be made with refrence to contracts as well as PR .. I.e value contract created for one finacial year and against that PO which is a release document is created and sent to the vendor , but PO should be created as and when required and requirementis come from PR . So how can we map the same in the system
Regards
farhan

Hi usmfarhan ,
You can try the below process.
Create PO with ref to Contract-->
Step 1:
ME21N Screen select doc. overview screen --> select the contract options --> enter the material or vendor number take the contact number put it to basket at above the header item.
now the system list the details of line item.
Step 2:
Now select item details >delivery schedule tab> again select Doc. overview on screen select the Pur. Req. enter the material or PR number . you can take the list in overview screen. -- > select the required PR number drack the number put it in to the Basket of Bottom screen of Delivery schedule.
Now you may receive some red light in delivery schedule. delet the line item.
Now now can have the Contract reference at item line details.
Pur. req. reference at delivery schedule line.
Hope this will work for you.

Could please anybody help me urgently?
Thanks,
Bhairav

Hi
GOTO----> OLME--> PO -> Define Screenlay out at Document level -> There Choose your Field Selection ( NBF and ME21N)... and go into to details--> And select the field selection group Quantity and Price and Double Click--> There you choose the field <b>PRICING DATE CONTROL</b> and Check it as a Required Entry or Optional Entry and save . <b>DO IT FOR BOTH NBF and ME21N FIELD SELECTION.</b>
Now when ever you make PO in ME21N.....You will get Pricing Date Category and Price Date Fields in PO-> Item Details---> Condition Control Tab.
Reward if useful

Purchase Order for Leased Asset

Hello,
I want to create an Purchase order for leased asset and want to make the payment for that.
It will be helpfull for me if you can tell the config setting required for that and the sequence of Transactions for completing the cycle for the same.
Cheers,
Manish Jindal

Hi,
You first need to create Asset Number in transaction AS01. This is normally done by finance people. Once you get the asset number, create purchase order in transaction ME21N, by selection account assignment as A - Asset. Enter other data such as material number, quantity, requirement date, price, tax code. In the account assignment tab at item level, enter the asset number you got while creating the asser in transaction AS01. Save the purchase order.
Once you receive the material against this purchase order, the accounting entries will be done against the asset number.
Hope this fulfills your query.

How to make collective purchase order from planorder generated from MRP

Hi Experts,
I have 2 queries are
1) Is there any option to create collective Purchase order or Purchase requisition from Plan order generated from MRP ?
for e.g one packaging material is use in different finish goods products when we run MRP on all finish goods its generates Plan order of FG and BOM. In packaging material it dependent of 3 to 4 FG and its generate 3 or 4 different Plan order.
It is possible to create collective PR or PO ?
2) Is there any possibility to convert Plan order onto Purchase order by vendor , material and delivery date ?
I have use ME59N and MD15 but its not useful for me.
Thanks
Farrukh khan

Dear farrukh,
when MRP run You should set mrp control parameter
Create Purchase requisitions :- 1
then after mrp run Purchase requisitions created.
and
we can change collective Purchase requisitions in to one Purchase order.
go to selection variant in ME21N,
then select Purchase requisitions and put all Purchase requisitions.
and adopt and create Purchase order.
but condition is it will create only same material and same vendor.

Returns to vendor PO with delivery..

Dear All,
When we process a return to vendor PO via ME21N , we selects the returns item box tick (Say company code - NZ01)
Once the warehouse have confirmed the stock has been despatched we have to then create a outbound delivery via VL10B and then go into change outbound VL02N and pick/post goods issue to despatch the stock in SAP.
But when we use another company code (Say UK01),we do not need to create an outbound delivery we just go into MIGO and post goods receipt the stock and as movement type is 161 it despatches the stock off the system. Is there any reason why first company code are unable to do this, when we tried to do it this way SAP advised the order contained no selectable items?
Is it due to delivery parameters are linked to the document type?
Please reply
Amit

Hi,
This depends on the Return PO Documnet Type and Plant from where materials have been returned. Just check in option SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Returns Order > Returns to Vendor - Here check the Delivery Type "RL" assigned to the combination of PO Doc Type and Supplying Plant.

Framework Order.

Hi,
I have a situation:
The production order creates few purchase requisitions (from external processing key), these requisitions are standard and they do not have a material number. Its for a service we need to purchase.
It is easy to take these requisitions and convert them into one PO and work with it. But, my client does not want to use a PO. He wants to use a framework order. Is there any way we can connect these requisitions to a framework order?
Looking forward to your answers.
Will give points to answers that are helpful.
Thanks.

Hi Sandeep,
Frame work order is again a type a PO.This is used as a blank PO for a service to be done throughout a period. so ur clients requirements is correct.
what we can do just create a frame work PO by selecting the corresponding document type in ME21n and select the item as limits.
Now for the material we can enter just a description of the service to be done on the description tab since we are going to assign this to a cost center.
if needed even material group can be given .
and also enter the upper and lower limit of the value of the service that can be done once with the overall limit of the order in the item detail tab limits.
enter the cost centre and gl account no.
for this we can directly post the invoices, no GR or service acceptance entry.no account assignment should be there in PO.
while doing IV systems checks for the validity period and overall limit of that PO
hope this will give u idea
