ME57 - Change a Purchase req

Hello,
When selecting a Purchase requisition from the list created with ME57, the system proceeds by displaying that PR. Is it possible to change that behaviour so that change PR is shown instead?
The "change purchase requisition" screen can be accessed by using Tcode ME52 but it would be more user-friendly if it could be changed by selecting it from the list.
Thanks and regards.

Nicolas,
It is not possible to have the PR's opened in change mode using transaction ME57. Why are you not using transaction ME52N for changing PR's, there you can have the list of PR's based on some selection criteria in the Document overview section.
Regards,
Prasobh

Trigger CIF during custom field change on Purchase Req. and PO

Hi,
We added a custom date field in Purchase Req. and Purchase Order transactions (ME52N/ME22N) in ECC. When this custom field gets changed along with any other standard field, outbound CIF process happens. However, when we change this custom field only, then outbound CIF doesn't happen. I believe we need change pointers and may be custom code to trigger outbound CIF. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to achieve this functionality.
Thanks.

Hello Naveen,
Use user exit EXIT_SAPLMEAP_001 here, the structure CIFPUORCUS must be enhanced with custom fields so that the document date can be included (IT_OUTPUT_CUS).transferred to CT_MM_DOC. You need to fill EBAN and EKPO for change transfer. Also you can have the background job for RIMODINI to transfer the changes.

How to Change attachment URL on a Purchase Req?

Attachments in the EBP shopping carts are transferred to an ITS server and are linked to a back end R/3 Purchase Requisition.
Note that the attachments are physically stored on ITS server and the link (URL) to the attachment and Purchase Req is stored in SAP.
As a part of decommissioning, the server which was used for storing attachments is replaced with a new server and all the attachments are moved to new server.
Since the link associated to the Purchase Req and attachment is not changed, when user is trying to open the Purchase Req attachment, it is not displaying becuase all the attachments are moved to new server.
How to change the link (URL) in the Purchase Req so that it will point out to the new server instead of old server.
Due to the following reasons manually changing the URL is not advisable.
1) 40,000 attachments link need to be changed.
2) System is not allowing to change the URL manually because of the user differences. All the attachment links are attached to Purchase Reqs by RFC user (since these are transferred from EBP environment).
Please advise what should be the feasible solution to change the URL (link) on the Purchase Req so that business can open the attachment with no issues.
Thanks in advance

According to SAP, since purchase order is a legal document they do not support the process of changing document number. They suggested I do the change with debug and replace at my own risk. In ME22N go to debug and type MEPO_TOPLINE-BEDAT. The values for this field show up as 29991231 that should be changed to 20191231 and press F8, then save the purchase order.

Unfirmed purchase reqs not getting cancelled in the background MRP run

Good morning,
The system has created Purchase requisitions for 2010 due to the setting in the MRP run. we want to change it to planned orders outside the Vendor lead time and when i run a REGEN MRP with setting 2 (Purchase requisitions in opening period) its not happening. When i run indivudual MRP with MD03 with the same setting its alright, purchase requisitions are deleted and its converted into Planned orders. Can anyone please throw some light on to make backgrouond MRP run delete the Purchase requisition and create planned orders.

Jags,
You must delete the offensive PRs first. Regardless of the MRP settings, MRP will still decide that the PRs are valid and will leave them alone. It will not 'change' them into planned orders.
Run Regenerative MRP with your new settings (Create purchase reqs as '2') but also run your MRP in planning mode '3', delete and recreate planning data. It will delete all existing unfixed purchase requisitions, and then run MRP.

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...

Purchase Req: workflow

Scenario:
A - Creates the PR
B - Approves and workitem goes to C, if it's above certain amount.
C - Rejects the PR and work item goes back to A
Currently when the work item is updated, after rejectionby A it goes back to C instead of going through the workflow to B again.
We are using WS20000077 and have done the configurations. Is it possible to change the workflow to make sure that when A updates the rejected document it goes through the workflow again, ie first to B and then to C without bypassing B ?

Re: Trigger Purchase Requsition Workflow trigger after purchase req. changed

Regarding rescheduling of purchase req.

Hi All,
For raw materials I have maintained safety lead time in the material master and I conduct MRP run. System create the purchase requisitions after MRP run. When I check the requirements in MD04 for the raw material, system show me rescheduled date.
But it doesnot mean that system has rescheduled purchase req.
Is there any transaction, so that I can reschedule the purchase req. ?
Regards,
Mahesh

Hi,
Do you notice a star indicator next to the PR, if yes it means a firming of the PR has taken place. This firming can be due to manual modification or due to the PR falling in planning fence and an automatic firming.
MRP does not make changes to firmed proposals. So just close this PR & re-run MRP & system will generate an unfirmed PR. The MRP run will schedule the proposal on the need date.
Hope it clarifies.
Regards,
Vivek

Purchase Reqs created through work orders

Currently when I attach a non-stock item into a work order it create a purchase req. The purchase req is automatically released, or is released when the work order is. The problem is that we have a release strategy that we must follow here at my company. When the Reg is automatically release it does not follow this strategy.
Is there a way that i could turn off this functionality, and have those req follow our standard release strategy.

Hello!
If you don't want to convert PR into PO, then why you are creating it. There can be two cases:
1. You want to create PR but don't want the material right now. In that case change the delivery date.
2. You don't want to do anything now. You want material after 6 months, only you want is to create a maintenanc eorder. In
that case you can enter the material nad service on ly at the time of requirement.
You can talk to MM consultant also you can put control this by release strategy also.
Is there any other case that you are facing. Please discuss.

How to decativate/hide "ACTIVATE RESERVATION/PURCHASE REQ" button in order

Dear PM guys,
For all order types, Purchase req/Reservation should get created after release of order and config done based on that.
But in the order creation/change screen one icon named "ACTIVATE RESERVATION/PURCHASE REQ" is there(next to put in process).If I press the button then Purchase requistion/reservations are created without release.What is way to deactivate/hide this button.As per the previous posts,I have tried SHD0 and not able to suceed.Pl help me.
Regards
ISWARI

Iswari,
Please lookup the same in SDN beofre requesting the same information. Here a copy from one of my previoys post.Hope this helps.
Shlomo,
The transaction code for this is SHD0.
Transaction variants are basically one of the POWERFUL methods to personlize standard sap transactions based on business requirements, without any coding. They are basically used to assign Default values to a screen field,Hiding menu function keys and for things that cannot be done through Configuration.
Basically the transaction will walk through a recording process and after each screen the screen fields, Function keys will be provided for you to assign a default value for a field and all the other normal field selection attributes.
After completing the above, you can assign this variant as a standard variant for the standard transaction IW31/IW32.
Hence in you case, on the initial screen enter the Existing transaction code IW31 and also enter a variant name for the same ex: ZIW31.Once you do that and hit enter the transaction will be called and screen will be displayed for you to enter values like order type,equipment, FL etc. Once you fill the screen and hit enter again to navigate to the header screen of the order, a popup will be shown with all the field names relevant for the initial creation screen along with the field attributes.Here is where you can set the attributes for the field(Like defaulting the order type to PM01 always, Highlighting). After you enter the attributes you can continue to move forward and personlize the remaining screens as required. Once you have personalised all the screen you can save the details and exit out.
Once you are done with this,If you want to apply this customisation globally across the transaction,You can set this variant as a "STANDARD VARIANT" (look for the same on the menu of the transaction).Now when you call IW31, this particular variant will be called up.Obviously there can be only one "STANDARD VARIANT" for the transaction.
However if you do not want to apply this generally across the, you can assign a custom transaction code to this varaint for ex: ZIW31 or even name it as per the business process for easier usage.
This will have to be done by a user with developer access and it can be transported up to Production box from the Dev box.
I hope this will help you to accomplish what you are looking for. You can find more detailed information in the follwong 46C link.I am sure the same would exists in ECC 6.0

Planning Time Fence and Rescheduling Purchase Req

How to Process the MD04 exception u201C30 Plan Process According to Scheduleu201D for Purchase Req.
Please provide me a Step by step procedure with example to Reschedule the Purchase Req with given rescheduling date.
*Really I am confused with PLANNING TIME FENCE.
What it does with Planned Order and Purchase Req ?
Based on the some of threads in SDN, I couldnu2019t come to the conclusion of the terminology behind PTF.
So could you please provide me an explanation with example will make clear idea on PTF.
Thanks in Advance.

dear friend,
as far as i know, all planned orders that lie in the planning time fence are firmed. that means that they can no longer be changed automatically by the system in the planning run in long-term planning.
outside the planning time fence, the system creates order proposals as usual according to the shortage quantity and the lot-sizing procedure. once these planned orders move into the planning time fence, they are automatically firmed depending on the how you have set the firming type.
the planning time fence can be defined per material in the material master record or via the MRP group.

Purchase Req Defaults

Right now transaction ME54N defaults to the purchase requisition that I had previously made in display only. Although I know I can simply click the display/change button, is there a way so I can default to display/change when a purchase req number is entered?
Can I also change ME54N so that the transaction does not automatically default to the newest requisition?

dear friend
as far as i know you can try the "Personal settings" button - check out all tick boxes (also push F1 on them to get some more tips)
please check out both tabs: "Basic settings" and "Devault values"
I am not sure about layout customizing
but
just in case have a look here:
spro-material managemet-purchasing-pur.requisition- define screen layout at documen level
and the last thing:
goto SU01 find your user and goto "Parameters" tab, try to find out something there (it possible could be).
if you find suspicious - delete that parameter and test ME54N again (but do log off and log in !)
good luck

Purchase req. for activity/element cannot be generated

Hi:
I want to creat a new external activity，but the Purchase req. for activity/element cannot be generated. The Messagr No. is CN705.
I checked the network activity,I fount that the"Reservation/ Purchase Requisition" be setted option 2 ( From Release). I want this should be with option 3 (immediately).
I have checked network profile , the option 3 (immediately) is setted.
Is there any other place where we set this setting. Please share your valuable opinion.
Best Regards.

Hi,
If it is appearing in display mode only (It must be made to "display" only in SPRO at Field settings for Network) then it is not possible for the users to change it in the operative project. If you have made the changes in the Network profile for Pur.reqn. after the Project / NWA is created and released then create a fresh Network /activity and check.

Bala.

Goods recipient field not available when creating a service purchase req

We are trying to create a release strategy for purchase requisitions with acount assignments K, F and P. The release strategy would use the requisitioner and goods recipient fields to determine the release group. The issue is when creating a purchase req with item category D for any account assignment, the recipient field cannot be populated. It is greyed out. I tried setting the field as mandatory in the IMG at the account assignment level but it doesn't prompt me for a recipient if item category D is entered. Is there a way to allow this field to be populated? I don't care if the value is transferred to the purchase order but I need it populated to determine the appropriate release strategy. We are not using workflow so that is not an option. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Srinivas, I appreciate the response but the requisitioner field is not the problem. I can set that field to mandatory. The issue is I cannot populate the recipient field that's located on the account assignment tab of the purchase req. The recipient field can be populated if the item category field is blank but as soon as I populate the item category with D for service, the recipient field is unavailable. Is there a way to populate this field when the item category is D?

How can we change the purchasing group which it is maintained in R/3?

Hello All.
In case of MM, purchasing group is assigned to material master.
It means purchasing group is maintained based on material code.
But SRM has different maintenance level.
As you know that purchasing group has the responsibility based on material group (Product category).
So we should change the purchasing group from R/3, when end user create shopping cart.
How can we change the purchasing group which it is maintained in material master?
Thank you,
Best regards,
SH.

Hello So Hee,
I am not a technical guy.
But for your requirement i am building a logic.
I am not sure whether it will work.
You need to check with your ABAPER.
It is as below:
When the SC is approved and the other configuration is correct ,
PR is created in ECC by the virtue of BAPI.
You want that the pur grp should be populated on the base of matl code and not on matl grp.
Hence in SC you will not fill up pur grp.
In the programme for BBPSC01 i.e. SC creation you will add modification that it will call a custom FM.
This custom FM will get the matl code from SC and will find the value of pur grp from R/3 MM01i.e. matl master(you may get in MARA).
Now in the BAPI you need to incorporate this additional value of yr pur grp field.
So the desired pur grp as per yr R/3 matl master will be populated in yr R/3 PR.
Again: this is all hypothesis.
That's all I can help you.
