Plant required in Purchase Order

I'd like for the plant to be an optional field in the purchasing documents (PO, RFQ, PReq, etc.). I've changed the plant field to optional in the IMG (IMG -> MM -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Define screen layout at doc level for ME21N (and others) under Basic Data, Item. Then executed the transactions that I changed above, and the plant is still required.
I understand this is hard coded in the program (plant being required) - however I'm having a difficult time understanding why it is available in the IMG, but then does not work (or it's hard coded).
Any guidance would be appreciated. If we can make this field NOT required, it would improve our processes significantly.
Thanks much!
Gina

Thanks for the reply.
I know, it's strange.
Here is the requirement. We are releasing at the PO level (cause we update our RFQ and actually compare vendor pricing - then the one that is selected is copied into the PO - then the release kicks in).
Ultimately - our vendors have access to our plants to see who has what for inventory. The vendor decides on the shipment day, which plant to send what/quantities to. Due to the plant being required on the PO, we will have many updates to the quantities, which in effect will kick off the release again.
Ideally, we'd like to leave the plant blank in the PO, then do GR against the PO at whichever plant the vendor ships the items to.
Does this make sense?

Add output type in requirements for purchase order

Hi,
In a changed purchase order (ME22N), based on business condition (eg: tot po > $100,000), then it should trigger an email output which will send the PO to the user. In output procedure for EF, control RMBEF1, there is requirement 101 (reprint) as an example. It has:
Loop at xnast where kschl = komt1-kschl and objky = msg_objky and vstat eq 0.
Endloop.
Here it seems user manually add a new condition record for ZSND so the loop will work.
However, i need to create an output record for ZSND before i can resend the email on ME22N. Do you think having a new requirement here will enable me to create a new output record for ZSND ? IF the PO is more than $100,000, then i need to create an output type ZSND so it will re-send the PO. User will not manually create the PO.
Pls provide your suggestions.
thanks
joyce

It's difficult to say without seeing how you have it configured, but the breakpoint should be triggered if the requirement is triggered (update debugging not required). Go back to a fresh PO and use Goto -> Determination Analysis from the output screen to view the analysis. This should give you a clue as to what happened. If the output was already issued and you don't have it flagged for 'multiple-issuing' then it won't be triggered again in change mode. Keep in mind that requirement routines do not create outputs; they simply allow them to propose or stop them from proposing based on the criteria in the code. You can access the EKPO data in memory using a field symbol for '(SAPLMEPO)EKPO' (if applicable, check whether this works in BAPI mode - I don't remember) or you can use the message determination user exit in RVCOMFZZ to put the value in KOMKBEA for direct access.
OK, see my answer to your other post - it seems that you added the output manually - that doesn't work...

Inspection Type 05 require input purchase order number for rejection

Hi Experts,
I have inspection and needed to reject in QA12.
When inputting the stock posting quantity to return, it prompts the reason for rejection, and required to input purchase order number also.
Since that is material return from production(inspection type 05) with no purchase order number, where in SPRO I can check the setting of this and disable this?
Please kindly advise, thanks!
Regards,
Daniel

Hi SujitSND,
I have some materials in inspection lot which is created from material return in production.
This lot is rejected by QA and needed to return to production line.
When inputting the qualtity field RETURN DELIVERY, system forced me to input Purchase Order number which is not available.
My target is to not needing to input purchase order.

Supplier number required in Purchase order/ requisition

Hi Gurus,
Requirement is to see supplier number in purchase order/ requisition.
If we give supplier number automatically system should pickup the supplier name, if we give name system should pick up the supplier number like customer in sales order form.
I have checked is there any hided field for supplier number not find any field, is there any possibility through Descriptive flex fields to achieve the requirement.
Thanks
AK

Hi AK,
Your requirement is possible only thru "forms personalisation".
Also you need to link the supplier number with suppier name so that by selecting the supplier number supplier name defaults in the form.
DFF does not help much here...it only captures the supplier number info.
Thanks

Plant transfers and purchasing orders tracing for movement type 301-310

Hi ,
When we do material transfer from plant to plant( MVT 301-310) it creates the material documents in MSEG. What's the table or the best way to find the purchase order details for the material documents created in MSEG or the materials used during transfers?
I appreciate your response
Thanks
Reddy

Hi ,
Go to table EKKO , put purchase Doc category ( must be different for Plant Transfers ) and also try out Supplying Vendor and Customer Fields..
VAT Registration no can also be part of your selection..
Please have a look at EKKO fields available and make your appropriate selections..

New Purchase Requisition required once Purchase Order Released

Dear Expert,
Here i am creating Purchase Requisition from the project by assigning
material component in Network Activity. All the Material assigned to a
single network have a single Purchase Requisition with different
different Line Item which is acceptable but once the Purchase Order
created and released and a new material component is assigned to the same
network. Now it will added into the same purchase requisition with
separate line item, which is not acceptable since that purchase
requisition was already closed and Purchase Order was released then
system should generate a new Purchase Requisition against the same
Network,
Pls suggest how it could be configure, is there is any setting in config
to full fill this requirement.

Hi,
As such there is no config requirement.
Its purely your process needs to be re think.
You are assigning the material to activity and getting PR,PR,GR and all . Once the material is consumed, thinking that activity is also over. In this case, again you are assigning other material to the same activity and you want to have the different purchase requistion not same PR with line item.
option 1, you can have the different PR nos always whenever you are assigning the materials to same activity. If 1 activity requires, 10 materials, you will have 10 PR's which is practically not correct. chnages you can do it in parameter for network type.
Option 2, New materials which is required can have a new network.

For Seeburger implementation you should take licance for BIC MD and Adapters(AS2,SFTP).
1)You will receive the data from the vendor ,you need to configure the AS2 Sender Adapter and you need configure the Party with AS2ID(Global Indentfier).
2)For Conversion for the EDIFACT to XML you need to generate the the BIC mapping In BIC MD.once generate the map you can loaded the map into XI server.you need to configure the mapping detials in module(Classifer,BIC,Spliter......).
Steps to genrate the BIC MAP:
Steps :-
      1) Right click on Data type and Export structure (msg_....xml).
      2) Run u201CCreateXMLmessageu201D, (source file msg_....xml, target file XML_....xml).

The solution which i thought is to put a approval through query but if i get that type of query from you people then it would be help ful for me.
Thank in advance..
Regards
Hanes

Hi,
B1 does not support approval queries on document lines. you can query only document header.
you can either try to workaround it with all sorts of aggregate UDFs in the header, or alternatively take a look at:

In individual PO senario want to change plant while raising purchase order

hello friends
i am doing individual P. O. in this scenario
when i raise sales order, purchase req. is generated wrt tht when i am doing PO system copies the plant from sales order.
but i want to that material should deliver to other plant.
material is trading goods
roshan ahire

Roshan
When you create a sales order for a customer and then subsequently create a PR-PO wrt to sales order the delivery address will be that of the customer. I have not come across a scenario where you create a sales order to a customer and then procure it externally to deliver at some other site. Play around with the acct assignment and item categories in Purchasing to see if your scenario can be helped. If you can explain the business scenario elaborately I can give a shot.
Thanks

Message: This customer requires a Purchase Order Number

Hi all
I need some help with above pop-up message.
The pop up appears in trcode VA02 (have no access to VA01 so cannot test it) but where in SPRO is it set up so as to link customer number to message?
Once I type the order number and press enter/return then the message appears.
I do not have access to SPRO or ABAP at this client site so I cannot check program code either.
Thanks
RM

Hi,
Check the message number and id. You will probably find this by clicking on the button with a question mark icon after the pop-up message is displayed.
Once you discover the message number and id, goto se93 give the message id and number in the respective input fields and press the display button.
Select the message and do a where used list on it. You will know in which programs this message is used and what is the condition to trigger this message.

Purchase Order release procedure

Hi All,
My client is having following requirement for Purchase Order release procedure.
Plant 1                    -    1 Release code (Manager)
Plant 2             -    2 Release Codes (Manager, Sr Manager)
Plant 3             -    3 Release Codes (Purchase Officer, Manager, Sr Manager)
All plants are assigned to one company code. Please advise me how I can map above requirement in sap.
Thanks & Regards,
Nagi

Hi Nagi,
In PO Realease startegy configuration, you need to decide and select the Release objects for which the system should trigger release for the document. you should work with Characteristics for each object (Your requirement is for 3plants) so in one of your characteristic WERKS should be your field along with other characteristics based on your requirements such as Total Net Value, Doc type etc.
Create Characteristics in CT04 for the class type 032 and proceed maintaining the release Group and Release codes as per your requirement.
Refer the following thread and revert if any confusions...
