Order as Direct material Tab activation

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
Regards
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.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

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

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.

"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

Also check if someone has hidden the field using WD customizing onscreen, right click over the screen and choose 'User Settings', here check if any fields are hidden.

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 .

Puchasing Org Error with Order as Direct Material

Hello Experts,
We are running SRM 4.0 and Classic Scenario from last 6 months. Now I have been requested to configure for Direct procurement.
We have one Purchase Org which is a backend purchase Org. The plants for PORG is also maintained.
We have also defined the backend Purchase groups. All of the groups have product category responsibilities defined. The functional tab has the backend purchase group and the backend system defined.
In order to use Direct Procurement in Classic Scenario what configurations are required? When I click Order as Direct Material I am getting the below Error. Please advice .
System LSYSED1400( SRM system) of purchasing organization O 50000004 differs from target system LSYSED1400 (Item BrixWorx Engine for Sun Solaris (with em )
-thanks in advance

Hi Shilpa,
are you trying to create classic PO for Direct Material?
In SRM it is possible to create a classic PO for Direct Material, as this is only possible using the Extended Classic Scenario. In a classic scenario, SRM expects to create all PO docs in the backend (pointing to logical backend system). For Direct Material the logical system is set to SRM. That's the reason for the error message "... Differing System ...".
With the settings local PO, local POrg, local PGroup etc. you are able to process and issue a local PO in SRM for Direct Material, but there is no linkage to the backend. One option to consider is a decoupled scenario - extended for Direct Material, classic for all other.
Thanks,
Claudia

HIDE ORDER AS DIRECT MATERIAL checkbox for material item in Shopping cart

HI,
We are on SRM 7.1 ECS.
I need to hide the ORDER AS DIRECT MATERIAL checkbox under the ITEM DATA tab in the Shopping cart screen...How do I do it??Is there any config option or I need to implement a badi in SRM 7?

Hi NIkhil,
This BADI is not called in SRM 7!
Experts,
CA anyone help me as to how the ORDER AS DIRECT CHECKBOX in SC screen?

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.

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.

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 .

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.

Procure item for inventory in Shopping cart as Order as Direct Material

Hello Experts,
When i procure a an item for inventory click u201COrder as Direct Materialu201D and then the system would not ask for an account assignment,
1.) where i can do this setting
2.) the actual problem am facing is "SC is created but PO goes to status Saved and when i see PO i can see the error and this is "Backend error : enter account assignment category".
Please let me know on this....i hope this will also be a great learning for me towards a journey of become masters in SRM like all of you
Smriti

yes. for order as direct account assignment folder disappear.
Ordering a direct material means ordering a product that will be received into stock.
You have to press the Order as Direct Material button in the item detail view.
Selecting Order as Direct Material replaces the goods recipient with the plant you
are ordering for and removes the Account Assignment information. The plants and
storage locations are defined in the organizational structure in the extended attributes
Locations and Storage Locations. After ordering the material as a direct material, you
cannot change back to indirect; so, in case of a mistake, you have to delete this item.
If you have a valid and definite source of supply, such as a contract, this will be used.
Items without a source of supply will have to be completed by the purchaser in
sourcing transaction or in the worklist of incomplete purchase orders. The complete
purchase order will then be replicated to the back end system. Changes to the purchase
order is only possible in Enterprise Buyer, which is the leading system for this process.
Any changes made in Enterprise Buyer are transferred to the back end.
