Multiple goods suppliers ( different branches ) code in single PO.

Hello,
We want to issue single purchase order in favour of head office of certain vendor which is having multiple branches across country producing same material. At the time of issuing po which branch will supply material is not known, how to account goods receipt for perticular branch at the time of migo under single po? Please suggest.
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
I guess that option of diverting to branch office at the time of GR is not available....
Pls let me know if you found one.
But the other way around is possible (Diverting to Head office) if you make below settings
To link branch accounts to a head office account, you must enter the number of the head office account in the Head office field in the branch account master record. This field is contained in the company code area of the master record.
The head office account can be any vendor account except one-time accounts or branch accounts themselves. Branch accounts and head office accounts must belong to the same company code.

Having multiple Goods Suppliers in Partner profiles of Vendor - Uses

Hi All,
We use multiple goods suppliers in partner profiles of vendor so that if the supplier has manufacturing facilitiy at various places for same material and he supplies us from one of them as lsited in the PO.
Above is one of th use of having multiple goods suppliers in partner profiles of vendor.
Other than above are there any specific benefits , can some one help me in listing out .
Regards,
Vengal Rao.

do you need to follow up an individual order with a GS or many many orders at one time?
I am not aware of any standard PO report by partner roles.
In general the GS partner is just for information purposes, except you are doing business in European Union, then the GS partner is taken instead of the vendor to determine the country of dispatch for the Intrastat reporting.

PO items with multiple goods suppliers

Hello MM experts!
We have a requirement where a PO has multiple items and each line has a different goods supplier both foreign or local countries so inbound tax determination will be different.
Example:
Item 1 - goods supplier foreign country (no tax)
Item 2 - goods supplier foreign country (no tax)
Item 3 - goods supplier local/domestic (domestic taxes apply)
Where in the PO can we maintain the country of origin of the line items?
Thanks in advance.
Alvin

Hi,
You cannot have a separate suppliers for each line item in PO.
Supplier code is at header level so it will come for all the line items.
In case of Import procurement:
You may have two suppliers one for custom and one for vendor in this case we have a option to maintain the custom vendor in each important condition types so that at the time of MIRO we can pay custom vendor separately and main vendor separately.
In case of normal procurement:
You have only one supplier for all line items
So you need to check which is better for your requirement and proceed as required.

Multiple Orders with Different reasons on a Single day

Hi,
I am recently learning Device Management of IS-U Electricity. Now I have a problem with meter reading orders generated at the time of periodic meter reading with reason 01 and different system generated orders with reasons like 22, 21 , 16 and 11 which are the orders get created internally based on device replacement and modification.
If the scheduled meter reading date lies on the day or the day before of device replacement or modification, the meter reading for the periodic order is getting prorated based on the meter reading entered at the time of replacement or modification. This is what I dont want.
Is it possible to have multiple orders with different reasons on the same date? Any configuration changes are welcome.
- Arghya

Hi,
You can acheive this using following config changes.
SAP Utilities --> Device Managment -->Meter Reading --> Meter Reading Order -->Order Creation --> Define Automatic Interpolation for Meter Reading Reason.
Uncheck the 'Auto Interpolation' flag for Meter Reading reason 01.
This will not use the Replacement or Modifiaction read.
Let me know if anything more is reuiqred.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
What is your requiremen? Which Invoices Vendors or Customers?
Using ABAP we can develop the report program.
You want to view a report of Customer/Vendor Invoices of all Company Codes at a time correct.
So, in your report map the invoices of different company codes to one report.

Multiple "vserver" for different apps in a single VLAN (Bridge Mode)

Hi,
I'm deploying Cat6500 with CSM-S & FWSM modules. Doing bridge mode for the CSM (and FWSM will do the inter-VLAN routing upfront).
There are 3 (three) different applications (Vidiator, BEA & XIAM) placed in the Internet VLAN. Each application consist of multiple servers. Two applications (BEA & XIAM) need to be load-balanced, and the other one (Encoder) in the same VLAN does NOT need to be load-balanced.
The questions are:
- Is it possible to create multiple virtual servers (vserver) for different applications (BEA & XIAM) on the same VLAN client/server ?
- Is it also possible to do Load Balancing only for some Servers (BEA & XIAM) on one VLAN, while other servers (Encoder) on the same VLAN do NOT need load-balance? If, so what is the method? If not, what should be done?
Below is the script for CSM-S that I'm planning to deploy, please kindly provide your comments and advices.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Gilles,
Thanks a lot for your respond.
1. For the multiple vservers.
Both applications provide HTTP service but think that I could run them on different port number: 80 and 8080. Will this work?
2. About the non-loadbalancing apps (encoder).
There are two servers and future adding is possible. They can work independently of each other. Both servers just provide FTP access, for content provider to upload files.
Since both servers will run the same service (FTP) and port number, I don't think we can create two vservers for them, right?
You also said that I could have the server in the internet vlan and client accessing it directly. Is this mean that no vserver config needed? So, from FWSM the client traffic will go straight to the servers (without passing the CSM)?
If this is possible, sound like good option to me.
Please kindly provide your advice/comments.
Thanks again.

How to do Asset postings to multiple ledgers in different company codes?

Dear All,
what settings I need to do to satisfy the followoing need:
I have two company codes. One company code c1 has only Leading ledger and the other company code c2 has leading and local ledgers. From Asset accounting point of view:
1. Can I create one US chart of depreciation and multiple depreciation areas to satify this? The Asset classes are same for both company codes? I will use one area 01 to leading ledger ( for both c1, c2), another area 30 to C2 company for local and another area 31 for c2 for difference of both the initial areas (30 - 1). Will this work?
or
2. Do I need to create two separate US chart of depreciations to satisfy the need?
Regards,
Giri.

Hi Giri,
First of all few points you need to consider. If both of your companies C1 and C2 are in US than technically speaking you should only create 1 chart of depreciation instead of creating 2 separate for each company. The more chart of depreciation you create the more maintenance it requires. This chart of depreciation gets assigned as company code level. Also, by default postings from your leading ledger gets replicated in your non-leading ledger unless you specifically post in one specific ledger only.
So considering above facts, for your approach # 1, any postings for comp code C1 needs to go only in your leading ledger - area 01 (making sure that it doesnt replicate in area 30) and for comp code C2 you can let it default it to area 30 and get the difference from area 31.
For your approach # 2, you will have more maintenance but atleast 2 separate chart of depreciations (COD) where in 1 COD you can specify area 01 and in 2nd COD you can specify area 01 and 30.
Hopefully this helps littlebit on your approach.

How to create group bom for multiple plants with different company codes

In my current scenario we have 5 Company codes with a plant with each company. The same kind of materials exist in all the 5 plants, so what i want is when i create any BOM, that BOM has to extend in all the company codes, as with GROUP BOM i can able to extend the same in only one company code.
So how to do this?

MIRO for multiple PO from differenct company codes

Hi,
One of the user would like to do MIRO (Invoicing) of multipe PO's together which belong to different company code.
When I try to do it, it gives a error sayign cross company code transaction and also the functional company code curreny is different from invoicing company code(thouugh PO's are raised in USD)
For the error, SAP says I can make it a warning.
However, from business perspective can anyone tell me why this should not be done. I dont want to make the error msg warning and let the user proceed.
Can anyone please let me know?
Thanks,
JR

It is not a part of Standard SAP, nor a recommended Practice, nor it is logical.
We understand that when we are speaking of consolidating invoice of different company code, is it an acceptable business practice. In my opinion it is not acceptable business practise. Reason being that Company Code are different Legal entity and how is it correct to even think of merging transactions of different Company code in single invoice. It will invite financial confilct, audit problems and host of unexpected and unanticipated issues.
It is not recommended to go for any such development also to meet the requirement. Please check with the audit team in all locations whether it would be accepted. Technically also verify with FI team the impact. In my opinion it is a strong NO NO.

Single ERS Invoice for multiple POs with different GS and same IP

Dear All,
I have a Requirement as per the below scenario:
We need to have single invoice created using ERS (MRRL) functionality in the below scenario:
Two POs created with different Partner function GS (goods supplier) and same IP (Invoice party partner function).
Ex:
GS IP PO GR ERS
vendor1 10001 4500001 500001 Yes ( GR-IV-Yes, GR done- Yes, same payment terms - 001)
vendor2 10001 4500002 500002 Yes ( GR-IV-Yes, GR done- Yes, same payment terms - 001)
When I run ERS for last 1 week (GR) and select the option (Doc selection – per IP or other criteria like GRs posted in last one week) , system should create 1 invoice document. Standard SAP posts 2 documents for each GS.
I have tried using 2 user exits for MRRL, but none of them work for this functionality.
Thanks,

Hi,
Go for MIRO without MRRL.
Instead ERS, you can post single Invoice(MIRO) for multiple POs for one vendor.
OR
Check with Technical consultant and go for development to have single ERS output for multiple ERS invoice documents for single vendor.

Single Purchase Order for different Plants of Different Company Codes

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario, My Client has 3 Company Codes (1000, 2000, 3000 )
Company Code 1000 has 2-Plants    ( A001 and A002 )
Company Code 2000 has 1-Plant      ( B001 )
Comapny Code 3000 has 3-Plants   ( C001, C002, C003 )
All these 3-Company codes has centralised purchase organisation.
My Client requirement is to raise a single purchase order for external vendor, for all the plants A001, A002 which is in one company code and similarly in same Purchase Order for B001 plant which belongs to 2000 Company Code and Similarly for same purchase order for C001, C002, C003 plant which belongs to 3000 Company Code.
1)Is it possible to raise a Single Purchase to External Vendor for plants of Different Company Codes ?
2)Does it affect the accounting document ?
3)How to inward and where to inward these goods ? with respect to plant wise ?
Please Guide with Valuable inputs.
Thanks in Advance
Best Regards
Javeed

1) How about Profit Centre ? We have Framed each Profit Centre with respect to Plant
Why should there be a problem?
2)In Case of Migo does we have to be careful and do stepwise MIGO with respect to different Plants ?
of course people have to be careful when performing transactions.
if you have multiple items in a PO then you can easily receive all items in one go. So people have to careful and need to check if they really received each of the PO items. Especially if people have authorization for many plants, then the user who is usually performing the receipts for plant A can easily post the receipts of plant B too.
3) How to Process MIRO ? Can we process Partial MIRO"S with respect to Line-items of those particular Plants ?
MIRO allows to post the invoice like it is send to you from your vendor. If it is just for a part of your PO then this is just a fact and MIRO allows to post this kind of invoices too.

Single Excise Invoice Posting against multiple Goods Receipt.

Hi,
We made a Purchase Order, say 4500000753, of 100 Qty,
The Vendor sent us the Material in two different Challans but in same date and two created two Material Documents,say 5000000772 & 5000000773 for Goods Receipt.
The Vendor sent us single Excise Invoice for both the Challans (goods receipt). Please advise how to post the Excise Invoice.
We tried to capture Invoice against Purchase Order, but the system is giving the following message:
Document 4500000753 does not contain any selectable items
My Queries / doublts
1. Is it possible to post excise document against multiple goods receipt documents.
2. In what case we excise posting against Purchase Order and what is configuration required.
3. Can we post excise invoice with two different Invoice Numbers like 123-A & 123-B
Please guide.
Regards,

Hi Jeyakanthan,
Thanks for the reply.
I have gone thru the "Multiple Goods Receipts for a Single Excise Invoice " in Sap Help Documentation, what I have understood is that we can do multiple Goods Receipt against a Single Invoice. Here in this case we do the Goods Receipt against Purchase Order , do the Invoice Capture for first goods receipt againts Purchase Order and we enter the Invoice Number (say 745, sent by the Vendor) while capturing excise invoice. When the second shipment (against the same PO) comes, we do goods receipt and we refer the "Only Refer Excise Invoice" while doing the goods receipt. Finally after when we have entered all the shipments for the PO, we do the Excise Posting.
Here in our case we have already posted the Goods Receipt (without entering the Invoice Number in first goods receipt) and now we want to capture & post excise invoice for a Single Excise Invoice (Invoice No. say 745,).
Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
Here we have got two options:
a. Reverse all the goods receipt & re-enter the goods receipt .
b. post two separate excise invoice against each goods receipt mentioning dummy excise invoice number like 745-A & 745-B.
Option a seems difficulty as we will have to reverse all the subsequent goods receipt & transfer posting documents.
Option b seems legally wrong, as per understanding.
Request you to please advise.
Regards

REG: Creating customer stock for different material codes has an single set

Hi FRIENDS,
we are purchasing finished items from our vendor in numbers (Eg. Item Number 1 to 6 (all different items and having different item codes)) and selling it to our customer in a set ( 1 set contains all this 6 items and we have code for this Set). Please let me know how to create the customer stock for these items in the store as the store shows stock for 7 different items, not in a set.
Please let em know if any more information is nedded

hi dan,
as per your requriment you can have all MRP viewsfor HAWA material type.
that means you are purchasing, use HAWA for finished goods in SAP system.
if you are having different item codes seperately for each item.
take one packing material called CARTON and maintain UOM as 6 items and you can pack the same in BOM.
use PP -PHANTOM - BOM which should add all the 7 materials in & gives one single material as OUTPUT.
use 561 GMT and upload that material as a final finished goods and in MMBE you can see only one called CARTON inside it set of 6 materials will be there.
BUT BE AWARE OF COSTING OF THE MATERIAL because each material will be having the its price. So discuiss with PP as well as FICO consultants.
whether you will cost the total set of carton or individual material
go ahead
test and confirm
this clears your issue

Design a single template for multiple reports with different column order

Hi,
I need to migrate the existing reports from SQL Server Reporting Services to Crystal Report 2008, and the column order in the report is very important to the clients since clients have existing code to ingest these reports into their database. Now I want to create a single template with lot of parameters for all reports. My question is how I might use one template to create multiple reports with different column orders in the reports?
For example, client A has the following column order in their report: firstName, LastName, DateBirth, SSN. Client B has the following column order in their report: SSN, DateBirth, LastName, FirstName. Can I use one template to create these multiple reports?
Thanks in advance.

-As I mentioned you can find Template Field object in Insert menu of crystal report Designer 2008.
As soon as you select Template Field object you will be able to see a box beside ur mouse cursor. Drag and drop this box at required place. Now when you place this object in report you will get some thing like this "<TemplateField1>" listed under Formula Fields tree. Double click "<TemplateField1>" formula to add your conditions.
-I have not tested it for large amount of Customers. However as the number of customer increases the number of conditions will get increased.
For the customer that want the same ordering of columns you can put those customers under one condition.
    for Example...
          if(?Client in ['clientA','clientA']) then
                    <TableName>.<Field>......
-What do you mean be 40 columns? Do you mean 40 fields or you want to show 40 columns in report? Please elaborate.
Regards,
Amrita

Single invoice for multiple orders with different divisions

Dear All,
while I am trying to do single invoice for muliple orders with different divisons invoice is gettting splitted..In copy control vbrk routine I tried with 003 and 007 etc..but result is same..what configuration need to be done for getting the single invoice
Thanks In advance
Regards
CNRNAIR

Hello
single invoice for multiple orders with "different divisions" invoice is getting split
FYI - Different Division means different Sales Area.
So, sales doc (whether sales order, Delivery & Billing) is applicable to EXACTLY one sales area.
Thus, combining docs with different sales area is practically impossible.
Provided, you are using common division.
Hope this assist you,
Thanks & REgards
