PO creation from PR only

Dear Guru,
I wan to restrict some useres for creating PO only from the PR. If i do this thru user authorization using EFB (SPRO-MATERIAL MANAGEMENT-PURCHASING-AUTHORIZATION MANAGEMENT - DEFINE AUTORIZATION FOR BUYER), I face the problem of getting the quantity field grey and unable to edit the quantity while ordering. I wan to change the quantity with restriction of PR number. This requirement is only for material PO. I have also tried this feature using Define Screen Layout at Document Level- but we cannot edit fields related to transaction code ME21N.
Sunil

Hi,
Please provide access only to ME59.And if they need to change the order qty, then let them change in the base document ie PR after that convert in to PO thru ME59.
This will also help to avoid the manual intervention while creating PO.ie amending qty directly in PO.
Caution: Ensure to make the PR field as mandatory entry in ME59.

Purchase Order Creation from ME5A Report

Hi experts,
My client wants Purchase Order Creation from ME5A Report.
He wants show Open Purchase Requisition through ME5A report then he will select Purchase Requisition Number or line item for po creation from there only.
Please advice how I can map this process in sap.
Thanks in advance,
Chandhu

Why don't you use ME57 to display open PRs and then assign sources and convert them to PO?
Or use ME57 to assign sources and ME59 to automatically convert them to PO.
You can create your very own format for report display using custom "Scope Of List" for ME57.
Look in SPRO under Purchasing>Reporting>Maintain Purchase requisition lists.

IDOC/BAPI for Production order creation from Legacy system

Hi all
We are using an interface to create Production orders from legacy to SAP. Would you recommend an IDOC or a BAPI to create Production orders. If IDOC or BAPI then could you please mention which one?
thanks a bunch

Hi John,
For your purposes, please use BAPI for production order creation from legacy system. There is no standard inbound IDoc available to use. SAP has an IDoc for outbound interface only (message type LOIPRO).
If there is an inbound IDoc available, I would recommend to use an IDoc.
IDoc technology has excellent error handling and will allow you to reprocess an error (if any).
BAPI is also good approach to use and fast in term of processing.
For BAPI approach, you can use BAPI BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE.
Hope this will help.

Restrict Item Category Item Creation using Reference Only

Hi All
Here is the scenario, I want "Restrict Item Category Item Creation using Reference Only"
a.Retrieve document number VBELN from sales order header table VBAK for the current order. Check if the sales order is of type ZAB referencing field AUART in table VBAK.
note : Any changes to existing sales order "ZAB" will be performed in thesame sales order type(ZAB) in VA02 transaction.
b.If step a is passed, check internal table structure for sales order item level as XVBAP-PSTYV for possible item category values of 'ZDEF' for the entered line item and document number (XVBAP-VBELN).
c.If the cancel/change item category values are found on the line item, check internal table structure for document flow (XVBFA) if the cancel/change item category was created as reference:
i.Check if entry exists in XVBFA for the preceding document number field VBELV with value equal to value in the subsequent document number field VBELN. This value must equal the current sales document number VBELN in table VBAK.
ii.The above check must be done in conjunction with the following check:
1.Check if entry exists in XVBFA for the preceding document type field VBTYP_V with value C equals subsequent document type field VBTYP_N with value of C.
d.Once the above checks are passed, collect the item number from internal table XVBAP (Field: POSNR) for the change/cancel item category line item added to the sales order.
e.Check if the item number retrieved in the previous step exists in table VBAP (Field: POSNR) with an item category that is not part of the list of cancel/change item category defined in step b.
f. Check if the item number collected in the previous step exists in the subsequent item number (Field : POSNN) in internal table XVBFA for the row that passed checks in steps b and c.
g.If item number exists, check if this subsequent item number field equals the preceding item number field value (Field: POSNV) in table XVBFA.
h.If step g fails, generate an error message stating that the user needs to the create the cancel/change item category line item with reference to the original line item and do not allow the user to proceed with the transaction.
i.If step g succeeds, allow the user to proceed with the transaction.
can any one send me the logic for this scenario.

Item category determination during Purchase Requisition creation from APO

Im creating a SNP Purchase Requisition in APO and when it is published to R/3, a Purchase Requisition document is created in R/3.
When this PR is created in R/3, I want the Item Category to be determined based on the Material master Special Procurement Type. ( eg: Id like the Item category to be L if the Material master Special Procurement Type = 30 (Subcontracting) ). But by standard, this field is coming as Blank and this field could only be populated during the creation from APO.
I found a user exit ( CIFPUR02 : Enhancement of Purchase Order Interface (Inbound) ) on R/3 where I tried to populate the Item Category, but when I do this, all the purchase order related data is getting deleted and hence no PRs are getting created in R/3.
Could anyone please tell me if this could be resolved using configuration and if not any tips to do this technically would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Harsha

Hi Karun,
This is the code i'm using...
select single * from marc into lit_marc
where matnr = c_eban-matnr
and    werks = c_eban-werks.
append lit_marc.
read table lit_marc with key matnr = c_eban-matnr
                             werks = c_eban-werks
                             sobsl = 30.
if sy-subrc = 0.
c_eban-pstyp = '3'.
endif.
Here sobsl = 30 is the Special procurement type
But when i try to populate c_eban-pstyp = '3', during the creation of Purchase Requisitions in R/3, in the program SAPLEMPI -> LMEPIF01
this condition is encountered which deletes all the data in the tables that is used to create Purchase requisitions.
<i>* get rsnum in the case of subcontracting
      IF XEBAN-PSTYP EQ PSTYP-LOHN AND                      "RB240999
         EXITFLAG_ORDID IS INITIAL.                         "RB240999
refresh all component tables
        CALL FUNCTION 'ME_COMPONENTS_REFRESH'
             EXCEPTIONS
                  OTHERS = 1.</i>
Could you please suggest me anything to get around this.

Kumar

Hi,
Config setting.
Settings for Automatic PO creation is:
1. Select the Automatic PO check box/option in Purchasing view of material master
2. Select the Automatic PO option in the purchasing data view of Vendor master
3. Maintain Purchase info record
4. ME56- Assign the vendors to PR's
5. ME58- Create PO via assignment list(PR-> PO)
6. ME57- Assign and process PR's
7. ME59N - Create PO automatically via PR
Above step by step procedure is involved in the Automatic PO creation.

PO creation from Accepted bid

Hi All
We are on SRM 7.0 classic scenario.
Trying to create a local PO from an accepted bid in Plan driven scenario
1) Is there a way to alter the quantity in the PO, or create partial PO's from 2 or more accepted bids.
I didn't see any way to do this as the PO is instantaneously triggered & no option to change
2) The scales and Pricing conditions entered by the supplier in the bid , are not transferred to the PO?
Only the final Price calculated , based on the conditions is transferred? Is there a way to transfer the conditions and scales too?
3) The bidder can enter the validity dates in the Price conditions. However what is the effect of those? If the buyer tries to create a PO from the accepted bid, beyond the validity date, is there a hard stop error?
Is there any other place at Header level, where the bidder can specify the validity date for the bid, except the conditions?
Thanks

Auto Po creation from sales order.

Hi ,
I have a requirement to create a PO automatically from sales order.
We will be creating a third party sales order, corresponding to which system creates an purchase requisition. Now the requirement is that this Purchase requisition should be converted in to PO automatically.
For this in the item category config i have ticked the auto Po check box . Also the source of supply is unique so that purchase requisition is automatically assigned with source of supply.
But still the PO is not created automatically. What are all the configuration and workflow needs to be done for this.?
Kindly help me.
ram.

Hi
From SD settings i dont think a purchase order can be directly created based on sales order thro standards
You can trigger only purchase requestion
In VOV6 if you mention order type NB for your schedule line category then a Purchase requestion is only created up on saving your sales order
Item category in VOV6 should be 5 (third party)
Account assignment category should be X
This is third party sales settings
In MM01 also in the purchasing tab of that material create automatic PO check box is there
If you tick that also it generates purchase requestion only not purchase order
In VOV7 create automatic PO check box is there
If you tick that also it generates purchase requestion only not purchase order
Involve your MM people also for this requirement
In MM people can create automatically PO from PR and there are a lot of threads in MM forum regarding that
For automatic PO creation from PR, follow the steps. taken from MM forum
1) Material Master purchasing view tick automatic PO check box
2) Vendor Master purchasing view tick automatic PO check box.
3) Maintain Source list for Vendor & Material.(ME01)
4) Maintain Purchase Info Record.(ME11)
5) Create a Purchase Requisition.(ME51)
6) Use T .Code: ME59 & execute for PR for vendor, you will be able to create automatic PO.
7) Note-1:
During creation of PR , select check box of Source Determination in the 1st screen of ME51
Ensure that Purchase Info Record should be there.
If you have more than one vendor then fixes only one vendor in source list.

PR Creation from Main Order based on Material Availability Check

Hi Experts.
I have activated material check for maintenance order, and system is checking material availability. But system is not generating purchase requisition if material not available.
PR creation from main order is feasible in case I will select item category as Non Stock - N; but system is not creating PR for stock item IC - L.
Can u further guid me, how system will generate PR for material assign in maintenace order, but required stock not available.
Thanks in advance....
Rgds,
Dipen

Hi,
As Venu told, for the Item Category L, system will create the reservation. While running MRP for that item, system will check the stock qty & required qty, then it will create the PR for the unavailable qty.
Only for item category N, from maintenance order, PR will be created.
Maintain the MRP type in Material Master.

How to stop PR creation from PM work order for a particular vendor?

Hello Experts,
We have following scenario for breakdown maintenance activities.
When a machine breaks down, a breakdown order is created in SAP. The external manintenance services are planned in the order. When the order is released, a single PR (with multiple item numbers corresponding to number of services) is created by SAP. The PR has a release strategy. When PR is released, PO is created followed by the SES.
The practice followed AS -IS for breakdown outside business hours:- If the breakdown happens outside business working hours, the person releasing the PRs is not available & hence PR can not be released resulting in no PO & no subsequent SES.
In this case, the maintenance is completed by the external agency & the work order is TECO. The next day, TECO is reveresed, new PR is created, released, converted into PO, & then SES.
TO-BE process:- Client expects that, for certain vendors identified, PR should not get created at all from the breakdown order. (The list of vendors will be maintained seperately). For these vendors, a framework order will be created at the start of fiscal year & SES will be created as & when required agaainst the framework order.
My concern is :- How to stop PR creation from PM work order for a particular vendor? OR delete the created PR?
Highly appreciate your quick response.
Thank you.

Dear Amit
I am giving a different dimension to your question check if it fulfills your requirement -
As we know Vendor selection comes at a later stage only after your PR creation, approval & RFQ etc. & PR generation from maintaine. order is controllled through control key PM03. While triggering PR from order you have to specify Material group, Purchase group and vendor. Try to control it through authorisation as all these are authorisation objects. The persons executing breakdown order shall no t be given this authoriations

I want to exclude certain vendors up front of proposal creation from F110

Hi,
I want to exclude certain vendors up front of proposal creation from T.code F110.
Meaning - I would use the range 850000 - 999999, but I would also like to exclude for example vendor #'s 912271, 912771, 959281 from this proposal.
Currently the only way to exclude a vendor is to skip it from the proposal after it creates.
But is there anyother to overcome with this issue because it requires lot of time to find vendor and then delete it.

Hi,
Its possible to exclude with the help of field LFA1-NAME1 in the free selection screen. Select the field, give the names and mark exclude values indicator.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

PDF creation from ID - not outlining fonts correctly

Hi all. I have a query regarding PDF creation from InDesign (so this could have been in the Acrobat section instead but went for this one).
I work for a publisher using CS2+3 on PCs. We don't have one out of house printer as a rule but several. All have different requirements.
Essentially we are converting fonts to curves from within InDesign when creating the PDFs. Therefore we have multiple files (curved and text) which is adding lots of time onto projects and adding a further margin for error with missing or out of date files. It seems this process is necessary as whenever I select the option to outline the fonts when creating the PDFs, the printers usually get in touch asking for the font, even though it has been outlined.
I am hoping to find any simple solution, hopefully avoiding purchasing extra software, that avoids creating duplicate 'curved' files. I realise it's a big topic and not restricted to InDesign but this is the main software we are using so figured this was the place for it. Many thanks.

I'll let others question the necessity of outlining text. It has been discussed many, many times before, and the only valid reasons I found so far are producing files for hopelessly outdated printers (the usual recommendation is "find another one, fast!") and for legacy custom hardware such as cutters and engravers.
But this is really a mystery to me:
It seems this process is necessary as whenever I select the option to outline the fonts when creating the PDFs, the printers usually get in touch asking for the font, even though it has been outlined.
Tr this: outline all text in your ID document. Export as PDF. Check under Document Properties, Fonts. How many fonts do you see? If everything is outlined, there shouldn't be any.
How does the printer know what fonts to ask for, and what is he ever gonna do with these fonts?

Purchase Requisition Creation From Release

Dear PM Gurus,
For Manual material availability Check to work before release, the Purchase Requisition check is to be set to Immediately in SPRO-> Define Change Docs and Collective PR or Activating Pr from Now On from Maintenance Order. The issue is that I want to restrict the creation of Purchase Requisition to Release of Maintenance Order but what is happening is upon saving the Maintenance Order, the PRs for all non stock materials are created and I also want the manual availability check to work before release.
Simplifying above details:
I want Manual material availability check to work and PR generation from release both in my Maintenance Order to work..
Regards..

Hi DP Singh,
I had seen the configuration settings that you are telling me but you see the Problem is:
If in Define Change Docs, Collective Purc. Req. Indicator, Operation No. Interval, you define the Res/PReq Indicator as Immediately, then the Manual Material Availability Check would work accurately but upon saving the Order, System would generate the Purchase Requisition.
and If in Define Change Docs, Collective Purc. Req. Indicator, Operation No. Interval, you define the Res/Preq Indicator as From Release, then the Manual Material Availability Check would not work as no material is as such MRP relevant till the time of releasing the Order but the Purchase Requisition would be created only when the Order is released.
Now What I want is both the Manual Availability Check to work and Purchase Requisition Creation From Release, but this is not possible according to the Standard SAP System. A workaround could be that I configure the automatic material availability upon release and configure the Res/Preq indicator as From Release, that way the material availability would be checked when the order is released and Purchase Requisitions would also be created from Release but still the Manual Availability Check would not work.
The Ideal Solution should have been configuring the Res/Purchase Requisition Indicator for all Non Stock Materials to be From Release and the Res/ Purchase Requisition Indicator for all Stock Materials to be Immediately. This way your manual availability Check would work for all Stock Materials and Purchase Requisition for all Non Stock materials would only be created upon Release. But this But still this is an ideal solution not the actual solution for standard SAP does not give you the flexibility to do such a setting in customizing or using Enhancement.
The Work Around Solution given by SAP is as follows: The system provides the following workaround:
After you change the indicator for materials planning-relevance to
"immediately" you can execute the availability check as required. You must
not save the order or network.

2012 R2 guest VM creation from template fails - SVMM 2012 SP1

Hi,
I am trying to create a VM from a VM template and I get error 13206 - Virtual Machine Manager cannot locate the boot or system volumen on virtual machine <NewVMName>.
First, the current setup:
Host OS: Windows Server 2012
SCVMM: 2012 SP1
The VM Template creation process:
- Create a normal VM from SCVMM: Guest OS is Windows Server 2012 R2
- Simple configuration of the guest OS (eg: regional settings, ...)
- Disk within the VM is configured as Dynamic (has one simple partition that is System Reserved and another simple partition for the System (C:))
- Sysprep the guest VM with Generalize and Shutdown options
- Import the syspreped VHDX onto the SCVMM Library (making sure that the transfer is "unencrypted")
- Create the VM Template using imported VHDX (since this is SCVMM 2012 SP1, not R2, the option to select the VHD generation (1 or 2) is not provided)
The VM creation from template process:
- Create a VM from the template with the default values and ticking the box for the VM to "start the virtual machine after deploying it on the host"
The "Job" process:
- Create virtual machine = Completed
- Deploy file (using LAN) = Completed
- Change properties of virtual machine = Completed
- Fix up differencing disks = Completed
- Install VM components = Failed <=Error 13206
Some additional details:
- Hyper-V integration services are not installed on the guest VM
- Repeated the same procedure with both Dynamic and Fixed VHDX
- Original VM was created with only 1 disk for boot drive (no additional disks)
- Original VM does not have any roles or features configured
- The VM Template does not make use of answer files nor is it configured to join the domain
- Enabled SCVMM log tracing using Microsoft kb2913445 and searched the logs using the VHDX ID number - Not found
Any help/guidance is greatly appreciated...
Thank you,
Karim

SCVMM 2012 SP1 does not know of 2012 R2 (that I recall).
Also, the VM must be a Generation 1. Generation 2 creates a UEFI layout on the VHD that SCVMM 2012 has no idea how to handle.
SCVMM actually mounts the VHD when the VM is deployed and looks for disk volume markers to find the OS in the VHD, then injects some startup files. This is the portion of the process where you are failing.
How do I know? I submitted a bug around this in the SCVMM 2012 timeframe. That I believe was fixed around the time of UR4.
I caused the problem to happen by creating my VM with DISM from an image. This did not create the layout assumptions that SCVMM was looking for and blocked template deployment.
