PO type UB is pulling in a Purchase Info Record - should this happen?

Hi All,
I've been looking around the net few a few days, off and on, but I can't find an answer.
A colleague has created a Purchase Order type UB but it is bringing in a Purchase Info Records that relates to a different receiving plant. This is bringing an incorrect tax code into play.
The work around is currently as follows
Go into the (incorrect) PIR that is being engaged
Remove the tax code
Process the PO
Go back into the PIR and change the tax code back to it's original setting,
Am I correct in assuming that PIRs are not engaged in a UB transfer?
What should be done to stop this from happening
Apologies if this is obvious or if I have not given enough info.
Cheers
Colm

I know that I need info records for UB order if I work with APO.
Are you sure that the inforecord that is pulled is for a different receiving plant?
Is the info record really created at plant level, or only at purchasing org level?
And both plants share the same purchasing org?

Automatic creation of purchase info record

Hi friends
I could not find check box in RFQ (ME41!N)or in Quotation (ME47N) for updating/automatic creation of purchase info record.
Thanks
Sunny

Hi,
you can maintain the info update for the required quotation through ME47.choose the required line item and click on the "item detail" icon and put the necessary value for info update:
1-     No update
2-A     Update with or without plant
3-B     Update with plant (if no plant ban)
4-C     Update without plant (if no plant requirement)
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 this will clarify your query.
Thanks & Regards,

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

Document type for Purchasing Info Records

I want to know where do we define the document type( IL, IN ) for Purchasing Info Records in Customizing(SPRO).
Are these standards or can we define new document types?

Hi
There are 4 categories of info records.
Standard
Subcontract
Consignment
Pipeline
There are two types of Info records maintenance:
1) Cross-plant (where you can maintain your info record at the purchasing organization level); or
2) Plant specific (where the specific plant must be maintained).
Besides, there are two document types of info records being <b>hardcoded</b> in SAP -
1) Purchasing Info Record for stock materials (Document Type IL); and
2) Purchasing Info Record for Material Group (Document Type IN).

Purchase info record is not showing in po.

Hi all,
while creating purchase order i m giving purchase info record no but values from info record
is not updating in purchase order.plz help.
best regards.

Hi Nissinha,
There are so many ways to be analysed for the cause. Because PIR -Purchase info record:
Please check in order of priority while diagnosing and finding for the solution:
1. Check wether the PIR is created for the Vendor of that perticular material or not.
2. Check for the validity (valid upto which date) mentioned in the PIR
3. Check for the type of Info record (based on Item category) it is such as Standard, Sub contracting, etc
Hope it clarifies

Mass Creation of Material Group Purchase info record

Dear All
Currently we are developing a custom transaction in SAP to mass upload Purchase Info records from a flat file (excel)
We are using the standard Function Module ME_POST_INFORECORD to create the PIR s
We use two different number ranges for Material and Material Group PIR s. This is set up already in SPRO>MM>PIR>Define Number Ranges
Purchasing info record for stock material (Group - IL ) have a number range X
Purchasing info record for material group (non-stock mat.)(Grpup -IN) have number range Y
So when we create a Material PIR manually in SAP it picks X number range and Y number range for Material Group PIR
But when we create Material Groups PIR via the new custom transaction it creates PIR s with Number range X.
Upon checking understood that the standard FM ME_POST_INFORECORD is always defaulting the Number Range Group as IL internally . Seems like a harcoding done by SAP
Wanted to know
- Is there any another FM we should consider while creating Material Group PIR s. Any other Function module provided by SAP for that ?
- Or what can be other way to resolve this ?
Please let me know your views on this.
Regards
Shyam

Hi,
For mass upload from flat files you can consider LSMW with different options e.g. IDoc:
Message Type INFREC
Basic Type INFRECMASS01
or simply via recording of transaction (this should be using exactly the same NR as you have when doing this manually).

Error in CIF for Purchase Info Records

Hi,
I am trying to CIF Purchase Info record from R/3 to APO but its getting stuck during activation "generating delta Model".
Can anyone please help in this regards, I have already read the link related to BD22 but which message type do we need to delete. Also what can be the other reason.
I have CIFed Plant, material, vendor in the same sequence also I have extended material to vendor manually in APO.
I have one more issue the vendor code 1000000 in R/3 is getting create as 0001000000 in APO can this cause a problem
Thanks,
sanjog

Hi Sanjog ,
Iam not sure why you are looking at tcode BD22. It is not relevant to PIR transfer .
Also to CIF the PIR for a material from R/3 to APO, it is not necessary that the material should exist in the vendor location in APO. (You need to create the material at vendor location only if it is required specifically for your business scenario).
Now , to identify what is causing the problem , you have to check the inbound queue in APO and outbound queue in R/3. The tcodes are SMQ2 and SMQ1. You can also use the queue manager /n/sapapo/cq in APO . Check what the error message is and correct the master data in R/3 accordingly. Then delete all blocked queue entries (/sapapo/cq can be used ) and then run the PIR CIF activation again.
Thanks

Payment terms in Vendor Master data and purchasing info record

Hi, all, I met one trouble. While I create Purchase Order. In the header item, payment terms is automatically pop up from the data maintaining the vendor master data or purchasing info record if there is difference payment terms between in vendor master data and in purchasing info record. What happend?
Sometimes, When you create purchase order, payment terms is not automatically pop up even you maintained in the vendor master data or purchasing info record. Why? Is it meaning that I can manually to input payment terms while create each purchase order which can be difference data with vendor master data or purchase info record?
Thank you very much in advance,

Hi,
The payment terms is usually defaulted from either vendor master or purchasing master data record such as contract/outline agreement. Unless it is set through configuration that the payment terms be set as mandatory, any failure to maintain payment terms won't stop you from posting your PO as this information will only be useful during invoice receipt maintenance. Having said that if you are setting up your system with discount condition type as part of your PO pricing schema then it is necessary that the payment terms shall be maintained during PO creation.

Purchase Info record error

hi SAP,
In purchase info record in deletion flag i tick the check delete info record. if i do this values from info record will not come when i create purchase order.
What are the other ways the values are coming to my purchase order if the info record for that particular material is deleted .

karan

Hello,
Check On the analysis button on the condition tab of the purchase order line item.
here you will find the pricing procedure system is picking up. Also you will get all the condition type there.
Check the first condition type PB00.
Click on the arrow mark before PB00 and drop down you will see all the acess sequence for that condition type new see agaist which acess sequence you can find arrow mark. From there you can analyze and will come to know system is picking up price from which aces sequence.
Outline agreement
Contract or Inforecord.
IIf you give deletion flag to Inforecord then also system will picking up price from info record. But if you keep the condtion record validity period as yesterdays date in ME12 or MEk2 transaction then system will not pickup from inforecord but it will pick up last PO price.
So if you dont want Info record price to pick up then change the condtion type validity perid as past dates.

Shailesh

Purchase Info record - Split valuation

Hi Experts,
I have a problem in working with split valuation.
I have a material with split valuation with valutation types Domestic and Import.
Same vendor supplies both the valuation types material.
I want to create purchase info record for two valuation types with the same material, vendor,purchasing org.,Plant.
I am able to create info record for only one valuation type.
Is there any way that I can create info record for both the valuation types for a vendor,material,Plant and Porg.?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards

Dear Lakshmi,
I'm not sure how u create an info record until val,type level , as per i know valuation type is the information in the Purh.Org data in info record. So when maintaining info record you got combination of vendor,material, plant, p.org, and info rec category.
The material per valuation type value will updated to the mat master when u done GR,
So you dont need to maintain the value in info record, because in the material accounting level there'll be 2 valuation type for that material which contain both value for domestic and others.

Purchase info record extraction logic

Hi,
   Iam in process of Data migration for Purchase inforec from SAP 4.7 to ECC 6,
   So please provide your inputs on logic for extracting Purchase info record -
Tables Used:
1) ENIA
2) EINE
3) A017
4) KONP,
    The problem is I need the link between EINE and A017(which field is used as reference between this 2 tables for extracting conditions)
Thanks
Rajesh. R

Hi,
to fetch the data related to the info records you need to add the eine and eina fields that is vendor, plant, material, purchase organization, info record type (std, s/c, pipeline or consignment but these are stored in numbers). these values are put together will give you the basic price / gross price condition record no. this you have to pass into KONP. one more thing this will have the validity period for the basic price. and under one condition record no there might be more conditions maintained such as discount, surcharge, freights etc.
