"order as direct material" indicator is not coming in Shopping Cart.

Hi Experts,
I am trying to perform the employee self service procurement for a direct material. I have performed the below config and attribute maintenance.
1. Defined a new transaction type and new number range for local PO in SRM Config
2. In R/3 Back-End, for the same document type, I have ensured that number range is present
3. For my Root Organization, I have added "DP_PROC_TY" for "Transaction Type: Create PO manually" maintained with my above transaction type defined
4. I have selected my local P Group and added 001 Product Category with R/3 Back-end system as source system in "Responsibility" tab
After that I have started created Shopping Cart expecting to find "Order as Direct Material" indicator in Shopping Cart details.
But I could not be able to see that indicator in Shopping Cart. What I see is Product Category 001 but different P Group is coming.
Is this the reason, what I am missing. Please help.
Thanks & Regards

Shopping cart created by requestor .
First level approver approvers the cart .

Could somebody can provide mesome pinter to solve this issue .
Thanks in advance .

Hi Vinod,
Thanks for your reply. But this was working earlier. We also have our own mapper class for the customs things we did.
But i am not sure of the reason, suddenly this is not working after some SP20 releases.
What all the basics things we need to check this?
Send to Mail functionality working - this ensures email is going
Admin Notifications - This ensures the subscription is working.
Update Admin notifications - This ensures the notifications are sent when we update the subscriptions
like this, what all the things we need to check for the resources inside the folder?
Thanks,

How to use the direct material indicator in Plan Driven Procurement?

Dear Experts,
How the system determine the procurement as direct material procurement in Plan driven scenario? In case of manual shopping cart, the system determines the direct material /indirect material procurement based on the check box 'Order as direct material'
indicator.
Now in case of plan driven procurement, where the requisition comes from ECC system, there is no way to indicate in the MM system for direct material?
Could you please enlighten me here?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Hi Ranjan,
In case of manual shopping cart, system at that point does not know whether the material procured has inventory management maintained or material valuation. Hence we need to specify option of 'Order as direct material'.
But when requisition is created in ECC system, SAP system already is aware of direct procurement since material used will have material master / Inventory management / Material valuation / Storage location etc maintained. And the info or some indicator will be sent to front end SRM system accordingly.
Moreover it does not really matter for front-end SRM system to check whether it's a direct or indirect procurement since all procurement processes followed in SRM will be exactly same.
Hope this provides some kind of understanding for your questions.

Why account assignment is not deleted when push "Order as Direct Material"?

Hi Gurus,
I have a problem with shopping carts (SC) of stock items:
1.- I add 5 items.
2.- I push "Order as Direct Material" button for 3 items only.
3.- I push "Hold" button to set SC with held status.
4.- I modify the SC and push "Order as Direct Material" button for 2 items missing.
5.- I order the SC.
One of the effects that it has the "Order as Direct Material" button is that it deletes the account assignment because the items will use to create a PO stock.
But for the last 2 items (number 4.-) the account assignment is not deleted.
This is causing that the PO's have error: "Invalid tax code".
Somebody can say to me why is not deleting the account assignment for items previously hold?
My systems are:
SRM 4.0 (SRM_SERVER 500) level 8
R/3 4.7 (SAP_APPL 470) level 24

check item data what is stored here DP ? if account assignment not cleared it could be a bug. but you need to convince them to get a correction note.

Order as direct material to be made as classic

Hi all,
We are working on a classic scenario with SRM 5.0 and ECC 6.0 as the backend.
For some products we are using order as direct material to procure the material into stock but as per standard this is behaving as EX classic as the main PO is in the SRM.
This is working fine but our client want to take print of this in the backend thru NEU output type which is not caught though MN04 is configured.
The program used is standard and our abaper says it is std code and if it is coming from SRM system it is not picking up.
Also, as the PO in R3 cannot be changes as it is a copy of the orderas direct material PO we cannot add manually.
Any suggestions on this.
Best regards,
Sridhar

Hello,
We had a similar requirement for sourcing for ECC PR.
i.e. when a ECC PR without Account assignment (direct matl) will be transferred to SRM for sourcing , the follow-on PO of Bidding should be created in ECC.
In Standard SRM creates locally.
What we did is assign a dummy AAC to PR item in exterq_out badi from ECC , transfer this PR item to SRM , complete the sourcing (Bidding) process and when SRM will try to create a CLASSIC PO in ECC remove the dummy AAC in PO_NEW BADI.
It works fine , with this SRM is able to create PO in ECC with AAC.
May be you can get some clue from this .

Different follow-on document created if 'Order as direct material' ticked

Dear Colleagues,
I have a product category Q4334104 replicated from backend system Q43 (clinet 341). The sourcing is never carried out from this product category. Secondly, target system configured is the same as the source system Q43 (client 341). BAckend object defined is reservation if the item is subject to inventory managed otherwise purchase order if the item is complete else purchase requisition.
Now, coming to my scenario, when I create a shopping cart with free text item, it creates a purchase requisition in the target system which is fine.
Now, I take a product belonging to the same product category but inventory managed. So, When I create a shopping cart in SRM with the tick 'order as direct material' , I expect it to create a reservation in the target ERP system. But the system behaviour is confusing here. It tries to create a local purchase order in the SRM system.
Only after unticking the option 'order as direct material, the system creates a reservation in the target system which is the expected behaviour here.
Why different behaviour is observed when 'order as direct material' unticked?
Secondly, the system takes a particular document type for the local PO although different values are assigned to the transaction type 'DP_PROC_type".
Full marks if you can help me to understand the above system behaviour.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Hello,
The direct material scenario is technically similar to the extended classic scenario, at first the system will create a "local PO" in the SRM system (with the document type BUS2201) and the system will copy this PO into the backend system with the document type BUS2012.
The extended classic scenario works if the purchasing organization and group are local and not linked to backend organizations and groups.
The purchaser user is assigned to this organization.
Please check the settings for the direct material scenario in the link below:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm40/helpdata/en/8d/f6a93e08503614e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Plan Driven Procurement - Direct Procurement: Process Flow
In extended classic scenario or when ordering as direct material, the system ignores the responsibilities defined in the organization structure.
A local purchasing group is determined, instead of the defined in the organziation.
So, classic scenario cannot be used with direct material.
Kind regards,
Ricardo

Error in Order as direct material with PPS activated

Hi,
Using SRM 7.0, EHP-1 activated PPS. Before activating PPS direct material scenario worked fine. After activating the PPS I getting the following error.
No account assignment exists; enter an account assignment.
Created new account assignment category and assigned that in u201CSet Default Account Assignment Category for Direct Materialu201D. Even after that also I am getting the above error. Please suggest where I am doing mistake. Only for down payments purposes we activated the PPS. Now SRM system is only working for purchase orders with account assignment and getting the above error immediately after pressing on order as direct material. I am not able to transfer Purchase requisitions also. In SLG1 getting the above error.
Please suggest what to do.

Source of supply doesnu2019t work for SC items ordered as direct material.

Hi there.
We are working in SRM 5.0 with classic scenario.
We are doing a SC with material code.
We create a SC with two identical items. The only difference between items is: one item is order as direct material and the other one not.
The problem is that for our item order as direct material, the system doesnu2019t propose any ECC contract or any ECC info record. But for our item not order as direct material, the system propose us ECC contract and ECC info record.
So for SC items orders as direct material, the system never proposes any source of supply.
However, in transaction BBPSOCO01 (Carry of sourcing) the systems propose source of supply OK for SC items with and without direct material.
Any suggest?
Thanks and regards.
Raúl.

Hi,
The issue might be because when you choose, 'order as direct', the scenario changes from classic to extended classic, hence only local contracts are proposed in this case. Since you don't have anything local, you will not see any source of supply. Try using bbp_sos_badi instead and call all backend contracts using fm meta_sourcedeter_getsos_multi.

Order as Direct Material Changes the Delivery Address

Hello,
We have encountered an odd behavior when the Order as Direct Material button is pressed. The delivery address that previously displayed is changed to the plant address.
Is this normal? Can it be de-activated so that is does not changes the address?
Regards, Dean

Muthu,
Thanks for the reply.. been busy...Is there a way to change this behavior with BADIs, etc? I think I can do it BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI. However, I thought there might be a more elegant way .

Removing the button 'Order as Direct Material'

Hi,
I have to remove the button called 'Order as Direct Material' in shopping cart in item details of each material.
I used the BAdI BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI. But when I am creating the shopping cart, the browser is not calling the badi. Can anyone tell me how to hide the field in SC?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Nowsath
Edited by: Nowsath RM on Jan 4, 2008 2:09 AM

Hi,
For 'Order as Direct Material' button to be disabled ,use the BADI "BBP_DP_PROD_CHK_BADI".
In method PRODUCT_CHECK, just clear EV_DP_FLAG.

Functionality "Order as Direct Material"

Hi All,
What exactly is the business need for the check box "Order as Direct Material"? (A check box in ?Shopping Cart and in PO of Item details)
I know that when you order as a direct material in SRM EBP, the account assignments disappear and
the system asks for Storage location and plant (and the product behaves as an extend classic scenario product)
But my doubt is for what product category you use this check box "O A D M"? If the material / prod category I enter in SC or in PO is already a direct material, then there is no point in flagging the check box. If I am ordering a indirect material, there is no need to order it as a direct material.
It will be very helpful if you could give the circumstances to use this check box and a business scenario
will help to clarify that.
Also I am keen to know how the R/3 sytem picks up the data from SRM and goes for the posting of the material.
Thanks in advance.
Vardhan

Hi,
I agree with David.
When we click this order as direct material it will create a PO for stocks. In other words, it is like creating a PO in the backend for a material with material master. The accounting takes place by the material master valuation class. Only difference here is the document type which is not changeable in R3 backend.
When we procure without this then, it is like creating the same PO with the account assignment K in the backend for which it is mandatory to give a cost centre and hence the G/L account. So final accounting is not routed through material master any more and you can have stocks or you can skip based on the material type you use in this case.
In simple classic scenario we have the flexibility of either procuring for costcenter without clicking on the OADM button or for stocks by clicking this(in this case the R3 PO is not changeable)
So the business requirement if a client want to procure for stocks from SRM then this is useful, as he can do GR and IR in the backend just like R3 scenario. They can differentiate this by the document type.
Best regards,
Sridhar.

Order as Direct material with result of reservation document

Hi All,
Currently, the client requirement is to active the "Direct Material" button during the shopping cart creation to differentiate between Direct and Indirect material purchase.
As I understand to active the button, we need to active "Extended Classic Scenario" to have "Direct Material" button. But they would like to have reservation document to be created after Shopping cart is approved and this is conflict with setting as only classic scenario to allow reservation document to be created.
Please share your idea.
This is my thought.
(1) Ext Classic with "Direct Material" button and use badi to change the document to reservation? Which Badi?
(2) Stay with Classic and control certain product category to have always resevervation document.
Rgds,
Paul

The 'order as direct material' is active by default only.
You don't need to activate ECS for this.
You can control the same by BBP_DP_PROD_CHK_BADI.
Only thing whenever you will create a SC for direct matl,
SRM will try to create the follow-on locally only & not in ECC.
So creating reservation via SC direct matl line item will not be easy.
May be you can try to control the follow field
BBP_PDIGP-SUBTYPE
in BBP_DOC_SAVE_BADI
& then use BADI BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW
2. this option would be easy if business allows you reservarion for certain matl grps

Hi Guys,
I select some materials from catalog and transfer them to SRM system and some materials I find a tab with ORDER AS DIRECT material. where as for some material I do not find, when I click on the Order as direct material this goes into a stock item.
So in order to activate this for some Vendor catalogues what are specific settings I need to follow.
Please suggest.
This is extended classic scenario and Version 5.0
Thanks for your replies

Srujank

Hi Srujank,
"order as direct material' will be available only for Product of type 'Material'. It is not available in case of product type 'Service'. Please, check if your product is of type material or not.

Order as direct material

Hi All,
During shopping cart creation in SRM I checked the "order as direct material" checkbox , and all the data from account information is disappeared. Is there is any way to retain same default account information even after checking this checkbox?.
Please guide me in this regard.
Thank you,
Krishna

thats is standard.
when you order as direct PO will be created in SRM and account assignment will be cleared .
during GR and Invoice accounts will be posted in inventory GL account upon the material master account view
when you not order as direct , it post cost center expensive GL account upon the configuration.
PPS SCENARIO
Note 1293572 - Account assignment is cleared in case of direct material
When a material in purchase order is ordered as direct material, then default account assignement is cleared even though the customizing for accounting is maintained for the direct material in case of government procurement.
