PO: Pull contract as source not info record

Hello,
my scenario. I'm creating an PO manually entering material and vendor. But there is a contract existing for the vendor. The system is just displaying that there is a contract, but it takes a info record for the as source for pricing.
How can I set the contract to be the first thing to be pulled?
Thank you.
Best regards, Paul.

Hi,
For this you need to create a PO (release order) against contract. Then Contract price will be picked up.If you don't have valid conditions in inforecord then system will pick price from previous purchase order.

  • How not to allow creating purchase orders if there is not info record

    Hi,
    I would like to know how to configure the system in order not to allow saving a purchase order for one material if record info hasn't been created. Right now, if record info for this material and the chosen vendor doesn't exist, the system creates it automatically, but I don't want this to happen.
    I also would like know how  to configure the system in order to show by default last price introduced for this material and vendor by when I create a new purchase order. 
    Thanks in advance,
    Luis.

    One more option, you can use badi ME_DEFINE_CALCTYPE. when there is no inforecord you can reset value of net price area. Here is a sample code we did for a customer;
          SELECT SINGLE INFNR FROM EINE
           INTO LV_INFNR
           WHERE INFNR =  IM_X_NEKPO-INFNR
           AND WERKS = IM_X_NEKPO-WERKS
           AND EKORG = IM_X_NEKKO-EKORG.
          IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
            CH_X_LF_CALCTYPE = 'C'.
          ENDIF.

  • Info records vs contracts

    Hi All,
    We are in the process of defining master data required for procurement.. For direct materials we always have contrcats .. so if we use only contracts without creating any info records what would be the implications??
    As contract and info record both captures price , terms of delivery etc why to have 2 master data as it would be complex to manage the data maintenance ..
    Just having contract without info record has any implications? are we going to loose any features and functionality by not having info records??
    I would really appreciate your experiences on this.. how you are managing both contracts and info records ..
    Best Regards,
    V S

    Info record serves as a source of information for Purchasing. The purchasing info contains information on a specific material and a vendor supplying the material.
    For example, the vendor's current pricing is stored in the info record.
    The info record allows buyers to quickly determine:
    u2022     Which materials have been previously offered or supplied by a specific vendor
    u2022     Which vendors have offered or supplied a specific material
    You can store the current and future quotation conditions (discounts, fixed costs etc.) in the info record, in order to be able to copy them into Pos. You can also maintain the vendoru2019s conditions directly in the info record
    *In contract we can maintain any number of materials within a Particular validity period only.
    Both of them are maintained in sap to focus on the specific business requirements.

  • Update info record price, when changing contract price

    Hi
    In the SAP OSS 569885  it is precised clearly:
    If an info record already exists, upon creation or change of
    a contract, neither price nor conditions are updated in the info
    record.
    So, my question is:
      Is there any way to update info records  prices upon a contract change or creation .
    thank you in advance for your support

    the info record is a kind of general, means it has the general price. A contract is an agreement for a certain quantity and price and period that may have a price that you can only get from your vendor  with this kind of agreement. So it is not really logical to have the contract price in the info record, too.
    There is no way to get this update automatically.

  • Item text in Purchase Order getting updated with info. record Purchase Order Text

    Hello All,
    I am working in a roll out project and facing issue in text repeating twice for the line item in the Purchase Order for the new company code for which rollout is happening
    Issue:
    Item text in Purchase Order getting updated with info. record Purchase Order Text
    01) PO Text is maintained in the material master under "Purchase Order Text" tab
    02) The PO text that is maintained in material master is getting updated in the Purchase Info. Record
    03) When Purchase Order is created, the "Item Text" gets updated in the Purchase Order automatically only for the new company code for which rollout is happening. when printed, this results in the text getting duplicated twice
    03.1) this behavior is not observed in the Plants/ Company code that is already Live
    Configurations in the system:
    The copying rules for the "Texts for Purchase Orders" is
    Source Object = "Info Record", Source Text="Purchase Order Text", Fix="*"
    We have modified the Purchase Order form to print one of  the condition types maintained for calculating the tax. Other than this there is no change to the plants that are already live.
    I could not locate any "Purchase Organization" / "Company Code" / "Plant specific configuration.
    Am I missing any configuration or where can I look in what is causing this error.
    Request help from the experts in the forum.
    with Regards,
    Dhandapani R

    There is no company/purchasing/plant specific customizing for purchase order text.
    The customizing copying rules for the "Texts for Purchase Orders" affects all equally .
    If the text in the purchase order in ME23N is already filled different to other plants, then you either have a modification in place, or the texts are differently maintained in the referenced data (vendor, material, info record, contract)

  • Purchasing info record for vendor's material number ONLY?

    Hello gurus,
    we have materials that must be ordered with refernce to a contract. We purchase these materials only from one vendor and exclusively using that contract (only one source of supply). We do need purchasing info records to store the vendor's material number.
    Now, the problem is that if we have one contract and a purchasing info record, the system interprets the PIR as a second dource of supply. So, when I create a new PO, the price is automatically taken from the PIR and not from the contract.
    Is it possible to create PIR's for the vendor's material number without creating a second soucre of supply?
    Thanks in advance
    Alicia
    PS: I do know that i can use order lists but that does not solve the problem when manually creating a new PO...

    why dont you maintain the vendors material number already in the contract item?
    why do you create an info record that has a different price than the contract?

  • Vendor Hierarchy with Pricing from Info Record

    Hi All,
    We are currently exploring configuration options available to use a 'Vendor Hierarchy' for price determination during Purchase Order processing - R/3 46C
    We also have a specific business requirement that requires our Vendor Hierarchy node prices be maintained in an Info Record (using a 'PB00' type condition type) rather than the 'LH01' and 'LH02' condition types used to maintain price conditions directly in the Vendor Hierarchy.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to combine a Vendor Hierarchy with pricing that is sourced from Info Record rather than the standard 'LH01' and 'LH02' Vendor Hierarchy pricing conditions in the standard system?
    Thanks,
    Ravelle

  • PO update to info record without FRB1 condition

    Scenario:
    There is an info record for a vendor/material combination that is purchase org only (not plant specific).
    A PO is create.  A price for the material is pulled into the PO along with a FRB1 value.  Where is it getting this information.  There isn't a value for the material or the FRB1 record in the info record.  Where does it pull this value?
    Thanks!

    If not info record exist than it may pull from previous PO
    check the following config
    Go to OMFI tcode and check the price adoption tab
    if the always copy field is checked means it is copying from previous PO
    To avoid that
    copy the existing defualt value  to somthing else wihout defualt values key (only descrioption)
    that means it will be the first in this table now
    go the price adoption tab and select do not copy and save
    now system will not copy

  • MM Pricing Schema - Contract item price not picked

    Hi All,
    For a certain Material and Vendor, when there is a Info Rec Condition and Contract Condition maintained, I thought having the Key table for Contract (016) above the Key table for Info Rec (017) in the Access Sequence for PB00 would take the Contract Price over the Info Record. Also the "Exclusive" ind is set fo both key tables in the access sequence.
    When I goto the pricing analysis, I see "Access not made (initialized field)" message with a yellow exclamation appear for the Contract Item key table row in the Access Sequnce.
    Why is this? Any idea?

    Hi,
    It seems that valid Condition Record for the key combination specified for the Contract has not been picked by the system.
    In Access Sequence, you will define which fields the SAP system should check in searching for a Valid Condition Record.
    Please check the fields mentioned in the access for Contract and try to maintain the condition record with those field values for the Contracts. Then, you will get the price from the Contract prior to Info record.

    Narayana.

  • A problem with Purchase info Record...

    Hi all,
      Am a basis person with no experience on MM... so ill like to ask you MM geeks this....It will be best if i narrate my ordeal....I am try to investigate some things....I have a PO which was created on 8.12.2009 and a purchase info record related to this PO created on the 30.09.2009...and created by(Info Rec) a person who has the authorization to created POs but not info records.
    Now my questions Are this.
    1. Is it possible to have an info record created before its PO.
    2. Are info records created automatically? if yes, when do this occur...

    Hi Phemmy,
    PO is a purchasing document. Info record is a master data that has a material-vendor relation set.  SAP recommends to create Info record before PO as it is a master data and the conditions ( net price & effective price) are adopted from it.
    1. Po can be created before Info Recod. It is not mandatory the otherway round but recommended.
    2. Info record is created automatically when a Po is created if the Infoupdate indicator is set in Po (Item details --> Material Data Tab).
    3. Uncheck the Infoupdate indicator if the info record need not be created.

  • Tax Code from ECC Contract or Info Record not picking in SRM7.0 SC

    Hi Experts,
    We are configuring SRM7.0 with ECC6 (Ehp4) having Classic Scenario.
    In SRM Tax setting, we set as u201CTax calculation in backend systemu201D, we created and mapped Tax code with ECC and it is working fine.
    In our case, Tax Rate varies as per Mat. Code & Country, irrelevant to Supplier.
    Tax code will be maintained in the ECC Contract /Info Record & we are going to use it as a SoS.
    However, while creating Shopping Cart, we must have to assign the Tax code at item level. If users makes any mistake and enter the different tax code, system does not validate it and create the classic PO with this tax code, which is different than maintained in ECC Contract /Info Record, which will be totally wrong and will create mess !
    In tax code Config setting, we have option to default the Tax code, but it is on Country and Product Category basis  .
    Can someone confirm /suggest me , whether anyhow  can we pull the Tax code from the selected SoS i.e. ECC Contract /Info Record, by using some BADi?
    Thanks

  • Is functionality lost by not using 'contract', but instead info records?

    My company is going through a data cleansing, and we would like to prioritize info records. What's the benefit of using "contract" over "info record" and vice versa? Do we lose functionality by dismissing contract completely? (Certainly, we would have contracts, but the legal agreement would be handled externally.)

    Hi,
    PIR Serves as a source of information for Purchasing. It contains information on a specific material and a vendor supplying the material. For example, the vendor's current pricing is stored in the info record.
    The info record allows buyers to quickly determine:
    Which materials have been previously offered or supplied by a specific vendor
    Which vendors have offered or supplied a specific material
    A contract is a type of outline purchase agreement against which release orders (releases) can be issued for agreed materials or services as and when required during a certain overall time-frame.
    Contracts are of two types:
    1. Quantity contracts - Use this type of contract if the total quantity to be ordered during the validity period of the contract is
    known in advance.
    2. Value contracts - Use this type of contract if the total value of all release orders issued against the contract is not to exceed a certain predefined value.
    Thanks

  • 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,
