Plant Maintenanc External Service Requirement & stock material combination

Hi Experts,
We are implementing SAP Plant maintenance. In the external service requirement, the requirement is that there are some stock items which should be send to vendor with this service item. These items will be used in the service item for repairing the same.
I have created maintenance order with control key PM03 and by this we are selecting the service from service master. In this way we are creating the service pr but we are unable to put the material in that maintenance order which will be sent for this service item. If we are putting this material in component tab, a reservation is created with 261 movement which is not solving our purpose.
Please suggest me how to move forward on this issue.
Thanks in advance.
VT

Thanks for your reply,
But I am creating service PR through selecting the check box for sub contracting. After that I am putting material against Operation of External service. Reservation is generated for 543 movement but not allow to save and giving error message "Op. 0010 must have exactly one component as 'Rework Material to Subcontr.'"
Please suggest what should we do ?
Thanks
VT

External service equipment

Dear All,
We have a one issue, Regarding Returnable service for plant maintenance - External service equipment.
From the maintenance order, PR triggered, after PO . Equipment can be sent to vendor and after once serviced its Recieved and we made Service entry sheet. thats all.
Here is my question is,
How to sent the equipment to vendor
Is there any options in Standard SAP ? for that only we can trace the Equipment.
Regards
Murallee

Dear Mr Thiyagarajan,
I think this question is reapeating several times in this forum,since we are not able to understand your points correctly,though you explained many times.Pl give suggestion for the following scenario.
I want to send a equipment-X for servicing outside the factory.
Step-1:Creation of Order for the equipment and in that under External Tab of operation with Control key PM03,I will enter the nature of servicing.Let's say "Overhauling of turbine gear box",Quantity-1,Cost-100000 Rs,Cost Element-514670 and release the order.
Step-2:Based on PR creation through MO ,PO will be created in ME21N.In that we are giving only the PO document type,Vendor Number,Change in cost if any,tax code etc.
Step-3:-After saving the PO,I used to take print out and send it to Vendor for executing the services.In that Description of services,cost details,delivery date will be there.Equipment will be decativated in SAP and send to vendor without any entry in SAP. and by just making entry in gate.
Step-4:-After returning the equipment by completion of services to factory,I will make ML81N for the services and activate the equipment again in SAP.
We aware that Equipment can be linked with MM and how to include or enter the material number(equipment to be serviced) in the PO.Because we just converting the PR for services in to PO.Pl spend your valuable time to clear this and it will be helpful for lot of us.

Shopping Cart Creation for Stock Material

Hi,
I'm implementing a project that i must create SC from an external ECC system. When I try to create the SC the system sends me the message below. There's a way to create the SC from this external system for Stock Material?
"Purchase of product 0000000000000000000000000000000030238225 is not permitted in the backend"
We're using the Classic Scenario.
Thanks and best regards,
Alexandre.

Hi Muthuraman,
Thanks for your answer, I've look for the nots that you've sent me but it's a quite different what I need. I've been searching on the forum for something that can hep me and actually there's a older question that you help a person with something similar.
Here is the question and your answer. I've tried to follow the instructions but those Functions didn't stop when I execute the 'BBP_PD_SC_CREATE_EXTERNAL' function.
There's a way to clear the account assignment while creating the document on the backend when I'm using the function to create the SC?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Alexandre.
Question:
'In a SRM classic scenario it's possible to create a shoping cart for material stock or it's only possible to create for indirect material (center cost, order, etc).'
Answer:
'yes. Indeed you need enhancement
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SRM/BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW-CreatePOin+backend
you need to clear the account assignment while creating a PO in the backend.
so PO will be created in the backend rather than in SRM .
but see impacts - how inventory gl accounts are posted while doing good receipt. Is it taking GL account from valuation class .
Hide the Order as direct too in SRM .
create one custome field in shopping cart to determine to order a PO in the backend (for stock materials) so when you check this field, this sc item PO will be created without account assignment.

Update Prices on External services.

Dear users,
In one of our requirements, when we create a maintenance order in IW31, we need to ensure that the prices on the External services are updated according to the price of the Vendor.
If that did not make any sense, then here's the detailed description:
On creating an Order, we determine the Vendor to be put on the External tab of the Operation. At this stage, a list of External services required are populated and we need to update the price as per the rates offered by this vendor. Through transaction, all we do is select the Service and click on Conditions button (button with a $ and ¥ sign!
Thanks,
Vijay.

Agreed,
But in some cases the prices are negotiated by month. This mean that if you plan some work in January at 100Euros, but don't perform the work until February, then the price may have changed to 120Euros.
Since this is the agreed contract price, then the PO needs to be updated...
They may need to create a bespoke ABAP program which searches for the inconsistencies

Combination of GR/IR control not allowed for external services

Hi,
I need to uncheck the field GR-Based IV (EKPO-WEBRE) in the SERVICE PO but I receive the message :
"Combination of GR/IR control not allowed for external services"
I want to allow the user to receive Invoices (MIRO) before the Service Entry (ML81N).
Thanks.
Carlos Durazo

HI,
This is a "hard coded" option and cannot be removed.
If you want to be able to post invoices for services before the GR (acceptance) then you could consider using "normal" POs for these (without item category "D") abd use material masters (DIEN material type) or describe the service in text.
External services POs are only really suited to complex services or services that need a two step GR process (Service entry and acceptance).
Far too many organisations use the service entry sheet option when "normal POs" would be far better.

Limit PO Err Combination of GR/IR control not allowed for external services

Hi,
I am having a problem while replicating free text Limit PO's to R/3 in SRM 4.0 SP 13. The issue is while creating Free Text Limit SC with the "Confirmation and Invoice" option checked in, the PO's get created in SRM but fails while replicating to R/3 and in RZ20 errors as "Combination of GR/IR control not allowed for external services" although in vendor master i don't have check for the field "GR-Based Invoice Verification".
On the contrary while creating SC with the "Invoice Only" the PO is successfully replicated to R/3 with item category as B for limit orders.
Now i have noticed if i make changes in the vendor master data i.e. check the flag "GR-Based Invoice Verification" then the PO in my first scenario gets replicated successfully and also with respect to the second scenario but it gets replicated in both the scenarios as item category "D".
As far as SRM standard it should have ideally behave like the below:
Limit SC with GR AND Invoice -> item category D
Limit SC with invoice only -> item category B.
Now my question is why do my PO's fail in R/3 in the first scenario and also if i check the flag in vendor master for GR-Based Invoice verification then in the second scenario the item category is "D" instead of "B".
Thanks in Advance.

Suggestion required for STOCKE MATERIAL to non stock material in the PO

Hi all
by mistake system clears account assignment for non stock material due to some user exit.
1. PO line item 01 - mm 100011 -stock material - plant 1000
2 . PO line item 02 - mm 100011 -non-stock material -plant 1100 - it has account assignment - in the request - by mistake this account assignment got cleared while creatring Purchase order
now i have realised this issue while doing good receipt.
now second line item 02 - mm 100011 - needs to be correct to receive goods . what action item needs be taken so that i can pay the invoice.
can i make in the line item 02 - Account assig category K and enter GL account AND cost center. - to correct the issue.
i have corrected this issue for future in the user exit.so not clear account assignment.
Muthu

Both the cases you need to pay invoice.Only the difference is first line item the material qty goes into stock.Second line item is not stock item as you are assigning account assignment.
To correct the issue for second line item you can change it to account assignment item if system allowed.Why I am saying you mentioned user exit influencing the PO to change the line item.
So first check user criteria what are the controlling perameters to save the PO.It seems your user exit checking line items if first line item stock item then it is changing all th line items as stock item.Take ABAP person help what are the user exits exist in PO

Which permissions required for using CAF External Service Configuration?

Hello,
I have written an application service which invokes an external RFC. To this end, I have imported the desired RFC as external service and wrapped it as an application service.
However, when invoking this application service I get an error message that the external service has not been configured. I have learned that I have to use CAF's External Service Configuration tool.
Unfortunately, this tool complaints that I don't have the required administrator permissions. This happens even when I log in with the administrator account.
What do I do wrong?
Best regards
Alexander

I just have found the required role. It is role SAP_CAF_ADMIN.
