MM - me21n Selection variant in document overview

Hello,
I would like to ask you whether it is possible to set up the Document overview in me21n as follows:
"Open Purchase Requisitions" to be shown immediately in overview, once me21n screen opened. So there will not be any need for using the selection variant manually and choose the purchase requisitions manually.
Thank you
Katarina

hi
go to me21n
now on the doc overview
now in that click on change layout
here from right column shift PR and processing status to left then save layout
now u will see pr with the processing status
now to make it default go to MANAGE layout (below save layout )
here make ur layout as default and save
regards
KI

Open / initialise ME21n with customized default Document Overview

Hi all,
I created a customer field in the Purchase Requisitions. Now I would like to create a program to start ME21n with the Document Overview on and a customized SAP Query from the infoset '/SAPQUERY/MEBANF' to implement in enhancement 'MEQUERY1'. In this Query I would like to find the Purchase Requisitions with a value which corresponds with the value of the customer field.
My obstacles are the following:
1) How can I pass a value through to the customized SAP Query
2) How can I customize the default setting of the Document Overview
Please don't post a list of other (i think irrelevant) User-exits. I'm aware of the fact that I shouldn't BDC ME21n.
Thank you in advance.

Sander

Hi Ram,
Can you please share your thoughts on the document overview functionality in the purchase order screen, becuase I have a requirement to see the MPN number in that Doc overview for the selected Purchase requisitions. I have changed the layout and added the field MPN number but somehow this field is showing completely blank.
Regards
Shane

what could have caused this issue and how do we resolve it
Thanks

responsible for the width are following entries in table ESDUS
MEPO     SAPLMEGUI/0000      Tree-On     X
MEPO     SAPLMEGUI/0000      Tree-Width     462

Change yours to a value like shown above or remove those lines at all.

Create a user-defined selection variant in transaction ME21N

Hi,
In transaction ME21N with the 'Document Overview' feature turned on we can view a list of standard selection variants. I would like to add a user-defined selection variant to that list. There is an OSS Note 377180 present which describes how to do that but(as per transaction SNOTE) that note cannot be implemented in our system. Is there any other way to get that done?
Any help would certainly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alam.

I would suggest that you replay the transaction with breaks, so that you can see exactly what is happening (in the start options, set the SAPGUI replay options to stop at each ProcessedScreen)
It may be that the Selection Variant button is not present during replay. In this case, you would need to make the step where this button is pressed as optional.
ME21N is a difficult transaction to automate because it always remembers what you were last doing in it and restarts the transaction from that point. You can delete the user settings (so you always start the transaction as though for the first time) using the following code in your script:
ABAP.
* Delete all User-Settings in MM
DELETE FROM ESDUS WHERE UNAME = SY-UNAME.
* Delete all User-Settings in search help
DELETE FROM DDSHDEFSH WHERE USERNAME = SY-UNAME.
ENDABAP.

So I am having a similar issue. I have a fixed length flat file with 3 different record types.
1 a header ( length is 82 bytes with the first byte set to H ( single record always the first )
2 a detail record ( length is 382 bytes ) with the first byte set to D ( multiple records )
3 a trailer record ( length is 82 bytes ) with the first byte set to T ( single record always the last )
I created a UD OTD with 3 elements for each record type, RECORD_TYPE is the first field 1 byte. Matching for each on either H,D, or T. When I try and test the OTD with the Run Test button I get an unmarshal error
<SOD>""<POS>"HACCUMULAT..." failed input match, Fog#431, after <no path>: failed node: trailing junk in fixed/parent
HACCUMULATED BENEFIT TRANSACTION FILE 20080801 20080825 0 0

Not sure whats going on, so if anyone has any suggestions on where to look that would be great

Regarding document overview in ME21N

Hi,
I have a requirement in purchase order document overview. I have created a z variant for searching released quotations. My client wants that only that quotations should appear their that are not converted to the purchase order item wise.
Please give some suggestions to overcome this problem.

Dear Dev ,
If I am putting (A-OFFEN Open RFQs) in the selection screen it is not showing me any thing. I have created 2 quotations & converted 1 quotation to po. After running the variant with A-OFFEN as my selection parameter nothing is coming in the list.
Regarding document overview in ME21N

Ecatt: ME21N (document overview)

Hello ecatt experts,
I have one question concerning the recording of ME21N with ecatt (sapgui).
When creating a PO with ME21N I want to link it to a purchase requisition.
To choose a puchase requisistion I use the document overview.
The problem which I am facing is, that ecatt doesn't replay the selection of a PR in the document overview.
Does someone has a solution to this issue ?
Is sapgui recording correct (or do I maybe have to use web dynpro recording ) ?

Hi Srinivas,
You can handle this case in two ways.
Please record in such a way that the document overview is on.Make this screen as optional.You can do in SAPGUI recording more effectively.
There are some tables where the user-settings get saved after single time execution of these t-codes.You have to place a piece of code that clear those settings within ABAP---ENDABAP commands in the eCATT editor before script execution commands.This will clear the settings and it shows the same way on how you recorded.
ABAP
Code to clear settings.
ENDABAP.
sapgui (script commands)
Please let me know if you have any queries.

Help with ME21N Document Overview Layout

There are two sets of people who use ME21N to create Purchase Orders. I've created 2 layouts for them to be used with the document overview on. I know I can set one layout as a system default. Is there anyway I can have the layout assigned or defaulted per User?
Thanks.

Try using the transaction code OMET.
Create new Function auth (say PO) there in which select FieldSel. in General Parameters tab. As mentioned that you had created two layouts, select this layout from dropdown using F4 on field FieldSel. then save the transaction.
Now assign this newly created Function auth (PO) to the specific users using SU01/SU3 in parameter tab in parameter as EFB with value as PO (as defined).
Hope this will help you.
Enjoy,

Document overview in ME21N

Hi,
Scenerio is : We use MD06 to display the list the requirements & from that tcode we convert the open PR into PO (ME21N).
The requirement here is - In ME21N Document overview tab we need to get both
Open PR List &
(ii) PO's on hold List at the same time (Simultaneously).
Where we need to do this setting to fulfill this requirement.
Regards,
Baskar.N

Hi,
It is not possible in standard SAP.
You can either get the PRs or the POs on hold list.
You can open two sessions at the same time , one for PR list and other for PO on hold list and specify the section criteria.

Satish Purandare

Requisitions Document Overview Personal Variant

Hello all,
I am creating a variant for Purchasing Requisitions Document Overview and want it to be always shown in 'my variants' tab just below the standard one of the system.Occasionally the variant is lost and have to run it through Purchase Requisitions standard systems variants in order to be entered again in the variants set for me.
Is there any way to avoid this?
Thank you for any help.

Please do not confuse the "release date" in the PR detail tab Quantities/Dates and the DATE the PR was released (assuming you have release strategies). The release date is the date when the buyer must send a PO to the vendor or the material will not be received on time (includes Total Replenishment Lead Time). The F1 help on this field states:
Purchase Requisition Release Date
    Specifies the date on which the purchase order should be initiated on
    the basis of the purchase requisition.
    The release date is based on:
    o   The purchasing department processing time defined for the plant
    o   The planned delivery time from the material master record or purchasing info record
    o   The delivery date
    o   The goods receipt processing time from the material master record
    Note
        The planned delivery time from the purchasing info record and the GR
        processing time are only taken into account if the purchase
        requisition was generated via materials planning.*
Hope this helps

Purchase order document overview issue

hello Experts,
My client has 6 Plants and purchase organization is central purchase organization. hence all the procurement is done from head office
following business process is followed
PR created- Release PR- RFQ with Ref to PR- PO WITH REF TO RFQ- GR - INVOICE
Problem is
1. My client does not process the PO Regularly it takes 15 to 20 days after RFQ is Selected.
2 On the other hand new PR IS generated in different plants for other material after every 2 to 3 days which is also processed and rfq is created.
My client want to see in Document Overview only those RFQ WHICH ARE NOT YET CONVERTED INTO PO. BUT WHEN I ENTER THE DETAILS THERE IS A LIST OF RFQ'S which are already processed and yet to be processed. they dont want to search rfq by date or rfq no.
if i have selected one quotation and rejected another one both of them can be seen in po document over view. and if i adopt the rejected one it gets adopted with (yellow) warning message saying the rfq is rejected and if i enter then it gets ADOPTED.
please guide me how to solve this problem
Thanks

Use the dynamic variant capability to create a variant that will only show the RFQs that are required. You can select any field in EKKO/EKPO tables for setting up this dynamic variant. Once the variant is set-up, then ask your users to make it as a default variant in me21n transaction. Now whenever ME21N is executed, this default will run in the background and will show only the relevant RFQs as the per the variant.
