Plant Specific Info record

I want to create the plant specific info record. For this in the initial screen of ME11, the plant field should be mandatory.
In the define screen control for ME11, I made the plant field as required entry, but the system is able to create the info record without giving the plant.
How can I make the field plant madatory for info record.

Changes in plant specific info record...Urgent!!!

Hi All,
I changed the order unit in one of the plant specific info record and it resulted in a change in the generic info record (without any plant) for the same material & vendor.
Can anyone let me know why its happening as I am making the changes to a plant specific info record?
Kindly help me ASAP...
Thanks,
Swati.

Hi Swathi,
Please check the purchase organisation used in the Info record is assigned to Plant or Company code.
If the Purchase Organization used while creating Info record is assigned to plant. Than you are doing plant specific info record change. If the Purchase Org used while creating the info record is assigned to Company code. Than it affetcts all the plants which are assigned to that company code.
Hope this answer helps.
Please check.

Regarding the info record

HI All,
I have not maintained Info record for a material and vendor and plant combination.
        If one MM cycle till PO is completed with Tick mark of Info update indicator in Material data in item details purchase order.
            Weather the material info record is created automatically
     But in SAP it has given as
         If no info record exists and "plant condition requirement" was specified in Customizing, an info record with plant is created. Otherwise, an info record without plant is created.
         Suggest me

Even If you have not maintained Info record for a material, vendor and plant combination.
And PO is Created with Tick mark in Info update indicator in Material data in item details purchase order.
The material info record is created automatically
This is the Case, If NO INFO RECORD EXISTS.
And Based on the Customizing, In SPRO>Matereials mangment>purchasing>conditions>define conditon control at plant level.
Case 1: if you select W/O Plant, then Info record is created with Purchasing organization,
case 2: with plant, then plant specific info record will be automatically created
Based on INFO UPDATE indicator.

Material Master - Purchase order Text view as plant specific

Is there any provision in standard SAP to make Material Master u2013 Purchase order Text view as plant specific.
Example: Material Master u2013 Sales text view is sales org & Distribution channel specific and the sales text is unique of each of the sales org and distribution channel combination.
i.e, if we change sales text for a sales org and distribution channel combination, it will not affect the sales text of another sales org and distribution channel combination.
Similarly, can we make the Purchase order Text view as plant specific? How to achieve this?
As of now, if we change the text for one plant, it will be affected to all other plants also.

Hi Pankaj, thanks for the reply.
The solution you have given is applicable if the info record PO text is used only in Purchase order?
Moreover, we are not using plant specific info records.
We want to use material master PO text for some other custom transactions.
Please give your inputs.
Thank you.

Error material not maintained by purchasing when creating info record

Hi Expert,
I have an issue when creating info record, error says "Material ******* not maintained by purchasing". I've checked in MM03 purchasing view, all has been maintained and at the bottom there is message says "No plant-specific data exist". Accounting view also maintained. I've also checked in MARC table for this material and plant. It existed. I cannot see anything wrong on the material master setup but not sure why am i having this error...
Please help.
Thanks,

Hi,
Error says "Material ******* not maintained by purchasing" & you checked purchasing view has been maintained.
OK. Just cross check following optionS
Option-1: You creating info- record for material with combination of plant & vendor....check did the material have purchasing view for same plant-the info-record you are creating!
Option-2: If no purchasing view for material with same plant , just extend in t.code MM50 for E Purchasing
Option-3: Check the material for same plant, did Procurement type F (External procurement) is there
Option-4: Check Profit Center in Plantdata/ sto-2 view of material.

How to make the price in PO to adopt from info-record and not changeable?

Hi Xperts,
Can somebody explain to me how to set the PO price to be adopted from the info-record and is NOT CHANGEABLE at the creation and change of PO screen. I know that i can configure the field selection for the PO type to be "price as display" only. Any other solution?
Thanks.

Hi!
tick the check box info-update at the item detail under master data tab in a PO.
its significance is as follows:-
Info record update
    Determines whether the prices and conditions of this purchase order item
    are suggested in future PO items.
Use
    Selecting InfoUpdate causes one of the following situations to occur:
        -   If just one info record (with or without plant) exists, it is
            updated.
        -   If no info record exists and "plant condition requirement" was
            specified in Customizing, an info record with plant is created.
            Otherwise, an info record without plant is created.
        -   If two info records exist (that is, one info record with plant
            and one without plant) the info record with plant is updated.
Dependencies
     You can specify that prices and conditions in purchasing info records
     are only allowed at plant level in the Purchasing IMG, under Conditions
     -> Define Condition Control at Plant Level.
Hope this helps you,
Regards,
Archit.

Automatic purchase info record

how do you create automatic purchase info record, what are the steps to do it, and how that helps in p2p process?

Hi,
While creating external purchasing documents ( like PO) in item details materials tab infoUpdate check box is there
Info record update
Determines whether the prices and conditions of this purchase order item are suggested in future PO items.
Use
Selecting InfoUpdate causes one of the following situations to occur:
        If just one info record (with or without plant) exists, it is updated.
        If no info record exists and "plant condition requirement" was specified in Customizing, an info record with plant is created. Otherwise, an info record without plant is created.
        If two info records exist (that is, one info record with plant and one without plant) the info record with plant is updated.
Dependencies
You can specify that prices and conditions in purchasing info records are only allowed at plant level in the Purchasing IMG, under Conditions -> Define Condition Control at Plant Level.
Other Purchasing documents Scheduling agreement, Quotations (me47) Choose the required line item and click on the "item detail" icon and put the necessary value for info update
Indicator: Update Info Record
Determines whether:
    The purchasing info record for this vendor and material is to refer to this PO item, and
    The item is to be valid for the entire purchasing organization or just for the plant.
Use
The indicator determines which prices and conditions are suggested in future PO items.
Prices and conditions can apply to an entire purchasing organization or to a single plant within a purchasing organization.
For example, if you create a purchase order for a plant for which an info record has been defined at plant level, the purchase order is based on the conditions in the plant info record and not on the conditions that apply to the purchasing organization.
Procedure
Enter the relevant plant key:
A
Updating of the document number is effected at plant level as long as there is a purchasing info record at plant level. Otherwise the document number is updated at purchasing organization level.
B
Updating is effected at plant level if plant conditions are allowed for the plant.
C
Updating is effected without plant data if plant conditions are not necessary for the plant.
Dependencies
The level at which updating of the document number may be effected is defined for each plant.
Hope it clears.

Info Record update indicator on PO

Hello All
The InfoUpdate check box on the Material Data tab of a PO, gets checked automatically. How do we control this? Is this driven by a vendor, material or plant or anything else. Do we set this up some where in customizing.
Also, if the infoupdate box is checked, does the info record gets updated with the new vendor material number?
Any help with this will ge greatly appreciated and rewarded
Thanks
Vijay

HI,
The values of the InfoUpdate indicator vary according to the type of purchasing document in question.
In quotations, contracts, scheduling agreements, and in the conventional purchase order (transactions ME21, ME22, and ME23), the InfoUpdate indicator can have one of four different values:
' ' The info record is not updated.
'A' If an info record exists at plant level, it is updated. Otherwise an info record at purchasing organization level is updated.
'B' If plant conditions are allowed for the plant, an info record at plant level is updated.
'C' If plant conditions are not necessary for the plant, an info record at purchasing organization level is updated.
In the Enjoy purchase order (SAP transactions ME21N, ME22N, and ME23N), the InfoUpdate indicator has only two possible values. Here it determines whether an info record is updated or newly created.
If the indicator is selected, the following cases are possible:
If just one info record (with or without a plant) exists, the record is updated.
If no info record exists and "Plant condition requirement" has been specified in Customizing, an info record with a plant is created. Otherwise an info record without a plant is created.
If two info records exist, one record with a plant and one without a plant, the info record with the plant is updated.
Thanks & Regards,
Kiran

Different order units in info records

Hi, I need to have different order units for different Plants in Info Records. I find this field only at general level. How can I solve this problem? Can anyone help me? Thanks. Marí

When you create the info you are creating for plant so you can enter different order unit in diff info as per the plant you select but suppose if you want to maintain more thna one order unit in the same info then you have to activate the variable order unit funcitonlity
to do that go to material masater purchiasing view and enter the 1 0r 2 based on you reqs
1- active
2- active with own price (means in the info record for all the order unit you can maintain the price
then maintain the diff order unit in mateirl master
within mateirl master Additionl data-unit of measure here you can enter
now when you go to info record you will see the variable orderunit filed is populate on general data screen if not populate and then populate.
if 2 is entered then when you click conditio it will popup for pricing

Create Purchase info record using LSMW idoc method

Hello Friends,
I am trying to update Purchase Info records using LSMW Standard program RM06IBI0.
But it is not updating the condition price details and scale Quantity.
For that the form suggessted LSMW IDOC method. with : Message Type         COND_A / COND_A02.
But i dont know is the info record created earlier to this step or else we can create both using this method
at a time ? Does anybody please suggest.
( Actually Purchase Info record created using transaction ME11 ).
Regards,
Phaneendra

you first create the info record and subsequently you load the conditions.
become familiar with the condition tables and its key first. Check How table A017 and A018 are maintained.
Intresting is the field VAKEY which is actually the link to your info record.
This is a combination of vendor, material, purchasing org, plant , and info record indicator.
data: begin of ZZVARKEYA,
        ZLIFNR like LFM1-LIFNR,
        ZMATNR like MARc-MATNR,
        ZEKORG like LFM1-EKORG,
        ZWERKS like MARC-WERKS,
        ZINFTYP like EINE-ESOKZ,
        end of zzvarkeyA.
