Overview of non info records

Is it possible to get a list where you can see all the materials that does not have an info record??

Hi,
You can identify if the materials have not been procured by any Purchase order will not have PIR.

Customizing the Enjoy PO document overview for Purchase Info Records (PIR)

Greetings!
I am looking to use purchase info records to store material pricing information but we donu2019t want to lose the document overview functionality that SAP delivers with the enjoy PO screens (ME21n, ME22n, ME23n).
Has anyone had success implementing user exit MEQUERY1 to customize the document overview so that a purchase info record query can be added to the document overview & the attributes of the purchase info record can be copied over to the PO?
Iu2019d be curious to know what solutions other SAP shops came up with.
Thanks.
Richard Wortmann

Nick,
Thanks for the reply. We will have the source list generated for the purchase info records (PIRs) however the gap I'm looking to solve for is mainly for non-MRP material buys.
Our current business situation allows material handlers to run a query in the document overview to ID specific materials on a purchasing contract (aka outline agreement) and drag those materials to the shopping cart on the PO. This provides a very easy process for the buyer to ID materials & supplier relationships.
Since we are moving away from purchasing contracts we want to continue with the same drag and drop process but only allow PIR's to be selected in the query.
Looks like in OSS note 377180 SAP provides a user exit to implement this functionality (via MEQUERY1)- I'm just wondering if anyone has had success adding a PIR query to the document overview and creating POu2019s with reference to that query.
Thanks.

Non-Stock Info Record

Hello,
I want to create a non-stock info record for a vendor to specify information like days for reminder, to get this into my POs.
I created an info record for a vendor without a material, entered the material group and specified the data.
When I create a PO this data is not pulled out of the info record, unless I enter the info record number manually. Why does SAP not determine the info record automatically?
Another problem is that I have to populate some mandatory fields like order unit or planned delivery time in the info record. This data should not come from the info record.
Thanks for any help.
Tobias

Thank you for your help.
I want to store 'reminder days' for vendors which supply us with materials we do not have a material master for (mainly MRO material). This data should be pulled into each new PO so I do not have to enter it manually each time.
When I create such an info record I have to enter the material group. I thought SAP uses the vendor/material group combination to determine the info record.
Maybe there is another way to do this.
P.S. I tried it again with the correct purchasing group but it does not work...

Non stock material info record

Hi SAPERS,
Please let me know the difference between the stock material and non stock material info records, Is there any difference in creation of both records.
Thanks in Advance,
D Prasad

Hi,
When the IDoc for purchasing info records of a stock material is posted, if the purchasing info record for the material and the appropriate supplier does not already exist in the receiver system, the number of the purchasing info record is copied from the central system. Otherwise, the existing purchasing info record is updated.
· For purchasing info records for non-stock materials, the purchasing info record number is always copied from the central system. If a purchasing info record with the same number already exists, the system checks whether it has the same supplier and material group as the info record from the central system.

None approval process for Purchasing Info Record

Hi,
Are there some approval process in SAP for Purchasing Info Record?
Now, we use ME11 to creat Purchasing Info Record. And use ME12 to modify Purchasing Info Record. I feel it is very dangerous. Becase if someone make a mistake. Nobody know.
If the price is lower than actual price, vendor must ask us modify it. If the price is higher than actual price, I am not very sure what will happen.
So, we are seeking for an approval process in SAP system.

There is no approval process in standard,Since it serves as master.
Better provide authorization for ME11 & ME12 to restrict it.
Raise quotation to maintain vendor prices.

CK11n Costing Run does not pull purchasing price from info record.

Hi,
I have material which is a semi finished product (Material type: SEMI) and is purchased from a fixed vendor (specified in the source list).
The costing run does not pick up the purchasing price from the purchasing info record but
instead incorrectly picks up the standard price from the material master (Costing 2 view).
Can you please help me solve this issue?
Thanks,
Ketan

Execute OPL1
or
SPRo>>IMG>>Controlling>>Product Cost Controlling>>Cost Object Controlling>>Product Cost by Order>>manufacturing Order>>Check Costing Variants for Manufacturing Orders (PP)
Select the costing variant in the table from "Change Costing Variant: Overview" Overview Screen
Click Detail Button
Click Valuation Variant Button in the Control Tab
Change View Valaution Variant Detail Screen Appears
In Material Valuation Tab Set Price from Purchase Inforecord as Priority 1 if you want to use Price from Purchase Inforecord for semi-finished product during CK11N
You can list down Priority 2 to 5 depending on your requirement
This would solve your problem

Net price not picking from info record

I am creating a new PO, but net price is not picking from info record. Info record is getting copied in the line item for PO, but net price is not copied. Due to that I am unable to create PO. If I manually enter price PO can be created. Could someone tell me what might be the reason Price is not automatically taken from Info Record. Please guide me what all I need to check.
The same data is working in one cleint, and in another client this data is facing problem.
Thanks
Vineeth

Hi
1) If there is condition record exit in system,then while creating po system will take condition record
2) If In inforecord last po number is exist for material and vendor ,then system will take this into consideration
3) if your creating po first time for material and vendor ,and we have maintain purchasing inforecord for purchasing organization and for plant,then system will take it into consideration
40 If none is available we have to put condition manually in po

Mass Creation of Material Group Purchase info record

Dear All
Currently we are developing a custom transaction in SAP to mass upload Purchase Info records from a flat file (excel)
We are using the standard Function Module ME_POST_INFORECORD to create the PIR s
We use two different number ranges for Material and Material Group PIR s. This is set up already in SPRO>MM>PIR>Define Number Ranges
Purchasing info record for stock material (Group - IL ) have a number range X
Purchasing info record for material group (non-stock mat.)(Grpup -IN) have number range Y
So when we create a Material PIR manually in SAP it picks X number range and Y number range for Material Group PIR
But when we create Material Groups PIR via the new custom transaction it creates PIR s with Number range X.
Upon checking understood that the standard FM ME_POST_INFORECORD is always defaulting the Number Range Group as IL internally . Seems like a harcoding done by SAP
Wanted to know
- Is there any another FM we should consider while creating Material Group PIR s. Any other Function module provided by SAP for that ?
- Or what can be other way to resolve this ?
Please let me know your views on this.
Regards
Shyam

Hi,
For mass upload from flat files you can consider LSMW with different options e.g. IDoc:
Message Type INFREC
Basic Type INFRECMASS01
or simply via recording of transaction (this should be using exactly the same NR as you have when doing this manually).

Import multiple info records for 1 material item in repository

Hi Guys,
I have got sort of a puzzle I can not solve at the moment, maybe some one can help me to solve it. The situation in our system landscape is as follows:
Systems:
SRM 5.0 (Classic implementation scenario)
ECC 6.0
SRM-MDM 2.0
PI 2005
Material master is maintained in R/3 and the materials are replicated to SRM. From SRM we replicate all materials to the catalog repository in SRM-MDM.
As the material master in R/3 is vendor independent, the materials replicated to SRM also have no vendor attached. For the first initial material replication from SRM to the catalog SRM-MDM this also means that the products in the main table of the repository, u2018catalog positionsu2019, will not have a vendor or vendor number attached (i.e. no reference to a source of supply).
To assign a source of supply in the repository to a product (record) we will use info records which are replicated from R/3 to SRM-MDM. The mapping for this in the Import Manager can only be based on the product number. As this is the only unique value available which can map a info record to a already existing (but vendor less) ptoduct item in the catalog.
As long as every item in the repository has only one unique info record, meaning one source of supply with a specific price, there is no issue in the above scenario. Based on the product-id, the info record data will be matched with the material item in the catalog.
The issue for me arises when multiple info records exists for the same material. The info records can heave different vendors and different prices. All possible vendors should be available in the catalog for the same material (at least this is the requirement ).
At this point the product-id will no longer be an unique value. Importing the info records will cause problems, as only one material record is available in the repository for the specific product-id (remember that when doing a initial replication of the material master to the catalog, no vendor data is replicated).
Does anyone had this issue before, and knows a solution? Is it for example possible during the import of the info records in the Import manager, to duplicate material records in the destination data, based on the number of info records available in the source data for the same product-id. Or is there an other solution that I am missing?
Your help would be appreciated!
Regards,
Skander

Hi Shai & Ravi,
Thanks for your answers. The MDM version which we are using is 5.5 - currently on SP6
@ Shai: you are right; the standard SRM-MDM 2.0 catalog repository has a qualified lookup table u2018priceu2019, in which itu2019s possible to store the info record data. The standard fields in this sub-table are: Purchase Org, Amount, Currency Lower B, PIR-ID, price based quantity and Price based quantity UoM.
I added some extra fields (non qualified), to accompany the remaining info record data (product no. u2013 vendor id u2013 product category) which is exported/imported, via the standard extraction program in R/3: Tcode MECCM
I tried the solution Ravi proposed. This scenario works fine when, for example you want to maintain multiple info records for one specific material record in the main table (all info records related to the same source of supply, i.e. vendor). But as I described, the info records we import for one product can have different vendors.
The source of supply (vendor) in the shopping cart of SRM is determined via the u2018supplieru2019 field in the main repository table (which is in itself a flat lookup table ). What happens now is that all related info records are added to the u2018price informationu2019 field of the specific product record in the main table. Thus info records which have different suppliers are attached to a record in the main table which will have one specific supplier in the u2018supplieru2019 field. So from my point of view this will not work.
I am still stuck with the situation that the material master import will only import one record for every distinct product, which can have multiple info records. The info records can/will have different vendors. As the supplier field in the main table determines the source of supply in the shopping cartu2026. Iu2019am seeking for a solution which will duplicate the material records in the main table, based on the amount of imported info records for that specific material record, that have distinct vendors.
Shai, if you have some useful info on how you accomplished this requirement on a previous version of SRM-MDM, it would be greatly appreciated if you can share it..
Thx.

Archiving Purchase Info Records

Hi,
Can you please let me know what are the prerequsites that need to be completed before archiving a Purchase Info Record?
do we need to check for any other dependency/flag other than the Mark for deletion (table field LOEKZ 'X')
Please any one of you sugest me the solution for the above questions;
Thanks,
Jeevan.

Hi Jeevan,
In order to be able to delete an info record, you have to mark the Info Records for deletion.
To do so, use transaction ME15 and flag record for deletion. After you have deleted all info records, use archiving program RM06IW30 or follow the menu path Logistics - Materials Management u2013Purchasing - Master Data - Info Record - Follow on Functions - Archive.
Make sure that you only archive Records Marked for deletion as all records may be deleted!
Create Archive File: Info Record:
a) Select Action: Archive and enter a new Variant, for example: Z_EINA_ARCH_ 01, press 'Maintain'
b) On selection screen enter the data range (Vendor, Material, etc.) you want to archive.
c) Deselect the 'Test' flag if you don't want to test first.
d) Press green back-arrow and enter the description of this new variantt on the screen which follows.
e) Save the variantt which brings you again to the selection screen. Press green back arrow again.
f) To start archiving process (batch-job), press the 'Start Date' button and select the time when you want to start this process. Select 'Immediate' for instant processing and press the 'Save' button on the bottom of the Start Time' window.
g) Select the 'Spool Parameter' button and save entries. Eventually enter a valid printer to have the result outputted.
h) You are ready now to start the process. Press the 'Start' button and monitor the success with the 'Job Overview' button You can also go the 'fast path' by using transaction SE38, program RM06IW30 to archive info records. For large data archiving, use the background jobs and run those during off-peak times. If you run the program online, you will see a confirmation on the status bar telling 'New Archive file created:.... ' Delete Archived Records: Info Record
a) Follow the menu path: Tools - Administration - Administration - Archiving
b) Select the Object Name MM_EINA for info records
c) Select the menu button 'Delete'
d) Select the menu button: 'Archive Selection'
e) Click the archive created in previous step
f) Select Start Date for process and Spool Parameters for output
g) Submit selection.
h) Check status by pressing the Job Overview button
Reg,
Ashok

Info records pulling into purchase orders

I have created an info record for a material group only (i.e. without material master as it is for a non-stock item). It is my understanding that this creates a vendor-material group relationship. When creating a purchase order for this unique combination of vendor & material group, the info record information only pulls in if I physically type the info record number within ME21 (or choose it from the drop down list). I would have thought that given that there is only 1 info record for each vendor-material group relationship, that the info record info should pull in automatically. Is there any way of doing this?
My ultimate aim is to automatically pull in a tax code when each purchase order is created.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

you say ME21, is this a typo or do you really work with this old transaction?
Is your PO just for a text material, or do you purchase a material that has a material number?
If material with material number, then the info record for a material group will not come in, even the material group entered in the material is the same.
usually my process starts with a requisition, and next step is assign vendor e.g. with ME57, this assignment brings the info record into the game.

Creaton of PO with referance to info record

Hi
I am trying to create PO with referance to info record.
Process :
In ME21N directly input info record number in line item coloumn in item overview area.
My info recored is combination of material,plant,vendor as well as purchase organization.
But while creating PO as per above process system shows error meeage for enter purchase organization ? Why ?
it is already their in info record number for which I want to create PO
Can it possible to create PO with referance to info record only
Edited by: Sanjay Shah on Jan 21, 2010 10:24 AM

Hi,
System picks the information like conditions,scales ,vendor material number,and tolerances from inforecord but will not refer organisation data.If you give vendor ,Organisation detail and material system will pick other information from info record.

Confirmation Control Key Value in vendor master overwritten by Info Record?

Dear all
In the standard 3rd party processing, we will use S/O to trigger PR and we then convert PR to PO. And when PO is converted, Confirmation Control Key (CCK) Z01 maintained in Vendor master purchasing view will be adopted for all the items in the PO, and in the purchase infor Record for the combination of material & this vendor, we do not maintain any CCK value there.
However recently, the system behaves in such a way that the CCK value does not automatically show up in PO item anymore. And I have been thinking can it be the fact that the blank value of CCK in info record will overwrite the Z01 value in the CCK of vendor master? But if so, why all the past PO I have checked does not have CCK value maintained in info record but the CCK was able to appear automatically?
An interesting fact is that if I create the PO manually by enter Vendor with CCK value Z01, Org Data, account assignment S and Item category S (both for 3rd party processing), and then the material and hit ENTER, the CCK value Z01 will appear in PO Item level under tab: Confirmation.
However, once I enter the PLANT value in PO Overview, seem like the Empty value of CCK in info record will overwrite the existing Z01 value.
Please advise if it is how the info record CCK work to overwrite? Also, how do I get back to the stage where the info record CCK will not overwrite as I do not want to spend time to update all the info record CCK to have Z01.
Thanks

Dear Manohar Raju Kanchanapally
I do not understand why this OSS note SAP Note 909885 - ME21N: Confirmation control key not
from vendor mentions the following:
Symptom:
When you create a purchase order using Transaction ME21N, the confirmation control key from the vendor master is not used, although it is maintained.
Cause and Prerequisites:
The symptom occurs if no confirmation control key was maintained in the existing purchasing info record.
Solution:
Implement the attached correction instructions as a modification.
It is totally contrary with the General Rule that the most specific will always prevails, meaning if I do not maintain CCK value in the Info Record, it will overwrite the CCK value I maintain vendor master when I create PO using same vendor, material, purchaisng org and plant!
Please help!

How to correct the net price of Purchase info record

Hi
When I create the purchase info record, I input the wrong net price.
And when I use ME12 to change the purchase info record, i find the net price cannot be modify.
How to resolve it?
Thanks a lot.

MR21 and MR22 are used to modify the value of the stock for the material.
I understand that you want to change the price in the info record and the field appears as non modifiable.
In order to modify this value, you should use ME12 and press F8 or the button Conditions and input a new price. Please note that you can also fix a time fence for validity of this data.
Hope it will help.
Regards,
Flaviano.
