MPN Material - Source list not included issue

Hi,
I am trying to create a purchase order for a material which has a MPN material # specified in the source list. When I create the purchase order, I get the error "Source not included in list despite source list requirement".
I do not get the error when I remove the MPN material # from the source list.
I looked at MM03 for MPN material # and it looked correct.
Please help.
Nicky

Hi
There are 2 settings for source list requirment mandatory at PO.
1) Material Master record > Purchasing view
2) IMG>MM>Purchasing>Source list>Define at plant level
if the setting is active then you have maintain the source list for that particular material.
if the above setting are not there and still you are getting error then you have to check if any enhancements done .
Hope it helps

Not distributued and Not included issues.

We have a couple of issues with Not distributed and Not included issues. First, since they are commingled with our variances they do not get passed through to PA so we are off between GL and PA. Second, the not distributed are not part of inventory since they remain in the variance account.
Anyone have experience with these and any solutions for these issues?
SAP says we can turn off the price delimiter but we are uncertain as to the effect overall.
Anyway to isolate these to a different GL account posting?

Solution
 **'Not distributed' price differences can be due to three reasons:
 A) System applied a 'Price limiter' logic (stock coverage check).
 You can analyse this case using the value flow monitor transaction:
 - for release 4.7 , transaction CKMVFM
 - for release 4.6C, program SAPRCKM_VERIFY_PRICE_DET (note 324754 is required).
 - for release < 4.6C: Program ZVERIFY_PRICE_DET included in the note 324754 Or directly checking the field CKMLPP-PBPOPO manually.
 In this case, the value field CKMLPP-PBPOPO > cumulative inventory.
 If you still want these price differences to be distributed , you can switch off price limiter logic. Then all price differences are posted to stock, and the price difference account is cleared. You should decide
 for each material if you want to switch off price limiter logic or not.
 So you can achieve a compromise between realistic prices and clearing
 the balance of the price different account.
 Price limiter logic can be switched off in the following way:
Resetting the price limiter quantity:
 In release 4.7 this is done uising transaction CKMVFM.
 In release <= 46C using the ZREMOVE_PRICE_LIMITER (see note 325406).
Note 855387:
 Application of this note will create an additional selection parameter for step 'Single Level Price Determination' to switch on/off price limiter logic.
 This option is the better way, as it is faster provides more flexibility (see the note for more information).
 B) System applied a fallback strategy during price determination
 (see note 579216) to avoid a negative periodic unit price (PUP).
 Please check the attached note 579216:
 If the regularly calculated PUP (based on 'Cumulative Inventory' line) would become negative, the system uses a different strategy to calculate the PUP:
 The PUP is calculated with these priorities:
 1.'Cumulative Inventory' line (no fallback)
 2.Receipts ('ZU') line (Info message C+ 135 in the log)
 3.Beginning inventory ('AB') line (Info message C+ 135 in the log)
 4.PUP-price of previous period (Info message C+ 136 in the log)
 5.S-price (->(Info message C+ 137 in the log)
 The fallback strategy is active by default for Single-Level price determination.
 For multilevel price determination it must be activated with parameter 'Negative price: automatic error management'.
 As a solution, you might check the postings of these materials if they really need to have such big negative price differences or if there is some kind of error in the posting or the production structure
 If you find such errors, you might reverse the corresponding postings and report them in a correct way.
 Or, you might use transaction MR22 (debit/credit material) in order to post a small positive amount of differences to the concerned materials
 so that the resulting actual price would no longer be negative. Then you could perform the period closing (which you had to reverse before).
 In the next period, you might remove this manual posted value from the materials (again with MR22) in order to correct the overall stock values back to their original amounts.
 C) Due to a source code error with transaction CKMM.
 The above situation may be produced because transaction CKMM was executed during the corresponding period.
 When transaction CKMM is processed the system deletes the price differences for the material in the period and these differences are not longer in the period record tables.
 See note 384553 for further details.
 The fact is that the price differences are still visible in CKM3 (as not distributed). This is due to the missing reset of summarization records (MLCD).
 This error is just a problem of CKM3 display, because the differences shown as 'not distributed' do not exist in the periodic records. The PUP of the material is calculated correctly.
 This error is corrected by note 838989 for the future.

Not included issues.

We are getting not included price differences and I believe this is due to follow reason:
"For some consumption processes there was no goods receipt of the output material in the period. In this case the price differences can not be rolled up by multi level price determination. They remain as 'not included' ('not allocated') at the input material."
If we have no G/R for the output material in this period, is it possible to get the not included price differences to roll into a following period provided we have G/R's for the output material? In our environment, the input material must be consumed in month 1, but the output material may be received in next 2 or 3month,even long time because process time,so every period "not included" difference is very large,we don't know how to deal with this issue.

Check out theThread: Not distributued and Not included issues. from March 2006. It may give you a better idea of the causes. If you are using COPA these don't go there automaticall. we implemented the material ledger in BWE to get the reporting of these then make a COPA adjustment monthly book them.
pls assign points to say thanks.

To Do Lists not included in iCal??!!

Am I missing something or are To Do lists not included in the iPhone version of iCal? If that is true why is this so? I will be including this on another list of things I don't understand about the software implementation in iPhone (no way to back up Notes for instance.)
Dan Carter

It is well documented that the iPhone does not support ToDo lists, nor does it sync notes. Notes can be emailed, just not synced.
It is very possible that this will be corrected in a future software upgrade, but as for now neither is possible.

Fixed vendor in source list not recognized by MRP

Hi
I have a source list (ME01) with a listed info record for a particular plant/purch.orgvendor/material combo.
I have ticked the fixed vendor tick and flagged it as MRP relevant (MRP=1).
When I run the MRP the purchase requisition is created but the vendor field in the purchase requistion is empty. Somehow the MRP does not recognize the source list settings. No fixed vendor is allocated to the purchase requisition.
Validity period of source list is checked.
I have checked the User exit LMEQR001, but nothing is implemented.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Lars

Hello Lars,
Please check the following settings in cutomization;
SPRO>>Materials Management>>Purchasing>>Environment Data>>Define Default Values for Buyers.
Select : Double Click: Settings for Default Values.
Now select the group and go to Source determination Tab.
In tab under pre-setting of automatic source dtermination indicator.
Tick the check boxes Create purchase requistion and create purchase order vendor unknown.
Note: In ME01, if your vendor is external then you have maiantain thye vendor in vendor fileld. If vendor is internal (say plant to plant transfer) then vendor needs to be maintained under ppl field.

MPN in source list

Hi experts!
I put a specific MPN in the source list as fixed. Then when I make the PO, the system allows me to introduce another MPN, not the one that I specifically inform in the source list.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Marí

Hi
If u r using MPN, then did u maintained AMPL (TXN MP01)
and not ME01 , which is for non mpn (std materials)

Fixed Vendor in Source List not picking in MRP proposals

Dear All
For a matrial, we have maintained two Contracts as Sources in Sourcelist. Both sources are valid and MRP relevant(MRPindicator 1 in Source list)
We then fixed the second Source ( fix indicator in second line in Source List)
Then Run MRP. The expectation was that the second source will be picked as its fixed. But the MRP proposed Purchase Requstion and Planned orders are picking the first source only (non fixed one)
Wanted to to clarify whether the fix source indicator does not have any relevance during MRP ? OR is it some other problem?
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
Regards
Shyam

Hello
As already mentioned by Jürgen, the indicator 'Fixed source of supply' is not considered by MRP at all.
See the following note which explains that in more detail:
110074
MRP: Source of supply, several valid source list records
Therefore, please make sure that there is only one source list item relevant to MRP.

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

Any user exit available?
pls help..

Hi ,
SproMM-Purchasing -Source ListDefine Source List Requirement at Plant Level
If u mark the indicator then the Source list is mandatory for all the materials procured.
If u want for a speciic material , mark it in purchasing view of Material Master.
Inorder to create a source list , inforecord is mandatory -- this is by default Standard SAP .

Enhancement to bypass "Source not included in list despite source list req"

Dear Experts,
When the indicator source list requirement is maintained in the material master, the system will only allow creation of a purchase order if the source is maintained in the source list (t-code ME01). If its missing we will get an error message when creating or chaging PO with message :"Source not included in list despite source list req".
Is there a enhancement through which we can influence the error message for PO's of type stock transfter order? I tried searching for one but couldn't find a appropriate one.
Had look at ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST & ME_PROCESS_PO also but they were not much useful.
Thank You.
Best Regards,
SP

so what you actually want is: source list is obligatory for a combination of plant / purchase order type / material number.
there's no customizing this.
actually, i have difficulties in accepting your search for an exit/enhancement because the configuration of your system does not match your business process = why do you want to avoid an error message in case of a STO scenario where the source list entry is missing?? either you have defined source lists obligatory on plant level - then see to it, that the source lists are maintained in the plant (you can mass generate it using ME05) or it is not ... in which case you will have to train your users accordingly ...
please do not take offense - none is intended - but i wonder why one would make a thing mandatory, only to circumvent the obligation by (intransparent) programming.

MPN, block PO for a vendor and material (not MPN material)

Hello everyone,
I have a doubt regarding MPN process I created a MPN material referencing an internal material. I have a vendor and a manufacturer.
If I create a purchase order with the MPN material (in the line the internal material comes automatically) and vendor and the manufacture is blocked by QM status (MP01). When I try to save the PO I receive a warning message and I am not able to save the PO. No Issues till now.
The thing is, if I create a PO with the internal material and the vendor I am able to save it, and the MPN material never comes up. And I want to be blocked also in this escenario.
thanks in advance
Sebas

Hi,
If you want that system should not allow user to create PO for the internal material and should only allow the MPN material then you can use Manufacturer's Part Profile in Internal material and MPN material and maintain Approved Manufacturer Part List (AMPL) in MP01.
You have to configure MPN Profile in SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Material Master > Define Manufacturer Part Profile
Here activate "MPN Mandatory" and rest all as per your requirement.
