PO vendor acknowledgement process

Hi,
The requirement is to be able to enter the acknowledgements received from Vendor into the system.
I have entered "Confirmations" in the Conf. Ctrl field of the Confirmations tab
After that i have entered the details against the Order acknowledgement key
I have not checked the Confirmation Required checkbox
I have also not entered any details in the Order Ack. field.
I try to create a GR but there is a message that the PO has no selectable items.
The details set in the IMG for Confirmation control are -
10 in the Monitoring field &
Delivery date minus monitoring time under the Ref. Date field.
Based on above i have some questions / doubts -
1. Why am i unable to make a GR
2. What is the function / role of the Conf. Req checkbox and the impact of entry in the Order Ack. field ?
3. What are the steps / process if we want to send reminder to the vendor ?
Can anyone please help and guide on this process
Thanks to all in advance for the help.
Regards,
Laxmi

Ok here's a brief explanation.
1. The field "confirmation control key" and the other two fields "Confirmation requried" checkbox and " order acknowledgement" work indepently.
Confirmation control key:-
If you enter a value in this field, you MUST enter a confirmation item. What item depends on the key - it can be VL31N delivery, order acknowldgement (AB), Pickup date (PU), etc.
Depending on the key selection and the config settings, you must enter at least one of these.
Nowmally if you choose the SAP default for delivery (is 0001 I think) , then VL31N delivery is needed.
Only then can you do a GR.
From you points 1 and 2 in your post, it seems you have selected a key that needs a VL31N delivery.
2. If you do not work with SAP inbound deliveries, but still need to ensure that vendor confirmation number is enetered in the PO, you use the other two fields.
Have the "conf. req" checkbos checked and ensure that you have a process in place for users to update the "order ack" text field with vendor conf number.
This is essentially a manual process and SAP does not perform any checks (as far as I am aware) during GR to check if confirmation number is enetred. The checks must be in place in the process you follow and any reporting can use these fields.
I am not sure about the MEDRUCK part as most companies tend to have custom PO forms.
Do an F1 and read up the SAP documention on these fields and also check SAP help. They are pretty comprehensive for this functionality.
Reminder to vendor:-
Check the "Delivery" tab.
You have 3 reminder periods that you can define.( 1st Rem./Exped., etc)
A negative number of days means that a reminder is to be issued to the vendor n days prior to a certain date (for example, the delivery date or the deadline for submission of quotations).
A positive number of days means that a letter or message urging delivery or submission of a quotation etc. is to be issued n days after the due date.
Use ME92 to trigger the output based on the reminder days set in the PO. SAP default output type is MAHN. And this works in the standard output determinaiton way with condition tables.
Note that the PO must be outputted at least once for this expediter to work.

Rohit Chavan

Hi Rohit,
I checked existing deliveries in our sandbox system and I found out:
- "RL" delivery type is used if you create the delivery with reference to a return PO item (mvt 161)
- "RLL" is used if you create return delivery from MIGO (A02-R02) (refering to the material document of GR) and check the "Via Delivery" checkbox (mvt 122)
What is the difference between mvt 161 and mvt 122 return, youcan find many threads on the forum and you can also check SAP online help.

Vendor return process clarification

Hi All,
We have created return PO for vendor.
While posting goods receipt system is asking excise invoice no and date, which excise invoice no has to be entered ?
and after posting we have to go to J1IS transaction and adjust duties for return process.
Over here the duties are not flowing in J1IS transaction.
Please throw some light.
With Regards,
Vijaykumar P

Taxes are not flowing in J1IS transaction.
While doing J1IS , Click on the "Get Excise Invoice" Button on the header screen menu, This will open up a screen for you to select the appropriate Incoming invoice for reference, the base value will be picked up from this .
Also Check the configuration setting SPRO-Logistics General-Tax on Goods Movements-India-Basic Settings-Maintain Company code settings-No. Exc Sel & ExSelDays columns against your plant.
Check below link widely discussed subject,

Vendor create process using workflow

hello,
I have been assigned a project to desgin a process to automatically create a vendor. below is what I think has to be done. can this be reviewed to see if this is the correct approch and if not, suggest a better approach.
1) the vendor will sign onto our portal and submit their information to have them created as a vendor in our system. this information will be stored in a custom table
2) the portal process will have a ABAP program that generates the screen for the user to enter thier data. this program will also start a workflow that will send a notification to a person inside our company for them to review the information and decide weather the vendor can be added.
3) if the person approves the request, the workflow will submit a process to create the vendor, and send a approval email to the vendor
4) If the person rejects the process, the workflow will send an rejecction email will be sent to the vendor
I am in charge of creating the workflow and submitting the vendor create process
thanks in advance for the help

Hi Anil
Take a look at the Workflow collateral located on http://otn.oracle.com/products/integration/content.html.
I'd also suggest looking at the Sample Workflow Processes included with Oracle Workflow.
There are also some on demand Oracle iLearning courses (ilearning.oracle.com) which should be very useful for you.
Cheers
Mark
Hi,
Could anyone give me a case study describing how to create a new process using workflow builder? Where are the notifications saved in the database? Where is the process saved? Give me a general flow of events in the creation of, say a document management process wherein all these details are specified. A document containing the whole flow involved in the creation of a process using workflow builder. What all PL/SQL procedures I need to write and all. I have both workflow server and builder installed.
This would be of immense help.

Anil

Vendor consignment process.

Hi All,
We are going live next week and client has Vendor consignment process.
I'm looking for help on the following steps.
1.Vendor consignement a process steps
2.Account determination step(OBYC)
3.Accounting postings for vendor consignment(T-accounts)
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Anusha

Anusha,
Activate Consignment inforecords using tcode OMEV. This activates the consignment prices to be picked up using the consignment info records.
configure a special procurement type using IMG->Production->MRP->Master Data->Define special procurement type.
In OBYC configure the consignment payables account (transaction KON).
Assign the special procurement type created in step 2 to all the materials that are to use the consignment process. This is done in the MRP2 view of the material master maintenance transaction
Create Consignment info record using tcode ME11. Select info category as consignment. Create general data, Purchase Org data and conditions. Conditions allow you to create time dependent prices.
Create PR/PO using the item category K. Due to the nature of these items, price is not applicable and so do not enter price. During consumption, the price will be picked from the consignment info record.
The following transactions are used in consignemnt MB54 - Consignment stock MRKO - Settle consignment liabilities. Consignment stocks are not included in the company stock valuation. It is normal, as the ownership is still with the vendor.
Thanks

Best Practice for the Vendor Consignment Process

Hiii ,,,
Can anybody have the best practices for the Vendor consignment process???
Please Send me the document.
Please explain me the Consignment process in SAP??
Thanx & Regards,
Kumar Rayudu

Hi Kumar,
In order to have Consigment in SAP u need to have master data such as material master, vendor master and purchase inforecord of consignment type. U have to enter the item category k when u enter PO. The goods receipt post in vendor consignment stock will be non valuated.
1. The intial steps starts with raising purchase order for the consignment item
2. The vendor recieves the purchase order.
3. GR happens for the consignment material.
4. Stocks are recieved and placed under consignment stock.
5. When ever we issue to prodn or if we transfer post(using mov 411) from consignment to own stock then liability occurs.
6. Finally comes the settlement using mrko. You settle the amount for the goods which was consumed during a specific period.

How can I manage a vendor approval process in SAP?

Please guide With regards to vendor approval Process & also share if u have case study

HI
Use me61 transaction code.
If you are talking about the approval of vendor such as prototype sample, ppap sample and regular supply, and if this is your flow, then, by activating the profile in the quality info record for each material / vendor combination, the functionality can be made use of. Check whether this meets your requirement.

Vendor Return process in case of Import Goods (Excisable)

Can anyone provide me the complete process details with configuration in case of Return of Import Goods to Vendor?
The scenario is we have received the goods from an overseas Vendor by availing the benefit of CVD and we have made payment to the Vendor. Now the goods need to be returned back to the Vendor overseas.
Thanks in advance

Import Vendor return is like re export from business point of view.
You can follow export sales process in sap.
What i suggest is for example if it is raw material you can create a bom with parent material as X-01,child material as Y what
you are returning to vendor.
Note: Create parent material as HALB with sales view & accounting view with valuation of raw material.
Do production goods receipt,it willl bring stock to parent material.
Create customer for vendor.
Adopt export sales process,create a sales order,delivery,billing,invoice,excise invoice,ARE1.
Note : Discuss with FI consultant/core team take care of accounting effects in billing.
Clear balances for customer or vendor using F-53 or F-58.
Note : You need to tell excise/submit documents telling it is not actual export.
or
If you opt for purchasing route,then there is lot of customs formalities to be completed & also need to pay duties taken credit,depends on value of goods if it is high, you can opt for import vendor returns or ask vendor for debit memo which will be adjusted with future purchases against same vendor
I also asked same question in forum, refer link for solution [ Import material - Vendor returned(Indian scenario) |Import material - Vendor returned(Indian scenario);

Vendor consigment process combined goods issue to cusotmer

Hi, All,
I have some questions on the consignment process.
One Scenario: For the MM consgiment without delivery to customer. I listed some steps with my questions below:
1. Create Consigment info record. Is it necessary?
2. Create consignment purchase order Item category K. Is there any special setting?
3. Goods receipt against PO. What's the movement type here? What's the movement type 201 K and 231 K used for? If 101, is it goods receipt to own stock?
4. No invoice verification done, but settlement is done through MRKO transaction. Is it paid consigment fees to vendor by this t-code? What's the accounting happened?
Two Scenario: For the MM consgiment with delivery to customer. I listed some steps with my questions below:
1. Create Consigment info record. Is it necessary?
2. Create consignment purchase order Item category K. Is there any special setting?
3. Goods receipt against PO. Placed in own inventory with a stock category of K. What's the movement type here? what means stock category K?
4. Create normal sales order.
5. Must remove the K from the inventory before a batch can be selected on the delivery-
a. MB1B- 301 transaction is used to removed the K and to reference the delivery number
b. Depending on if location is inventory managed an LU04 may be necessary to complete the movement off of K .
Why movement type 301 is here?
5. Create delivery and PGI (The quantity is different when you do goods receipt for this material)
6. Invoice to customer
7. Payment for that Purchase Order thrgouth MRKO. The issue is only paid to vendor based on the quantity which sent to customer, not on goods receipt. How it can be achieved?
Three Scenario: Is there any process create MM consgiment with delivery directly to customer? What's the process, movement type and what's the difference?
Thank you very much in advance

Hi,
1. Create Consigment info record. Is it necessary?
           Yes, for consignment process, inofrecord is must, price will be picked only from inforecord, you can't enter price in PO.
2. Create consignment purchase order Item category K. Is there any special setting?
           Item category K is standard for consignment PO.
3. Goods receipt against PO. What's the movement type here? What's the movement type 201 K and 231 K used for? If 101, is it goods receipt to own stock?
Movement type is 101, 201k & 231k is for goods issue.
Its not good's receipt ot own stock, its goods receipt to unrestricted stock with stock indicator as K, later you can take to your own stock through 411k.
4. No invoice verification done, but settlement is done through MRKO transaction. Is it paid consigment fees to vendor by this t-code? What's the accounting happened?
For example If you manage material A of vendor X as consignment stock at a price of $ 10 /piece.
When 100 pieces are withdrawn for consumption, the system makes the following
postings when the withdrawal is settled:
During Withdrawal
Consumption account                               1000 +
Liabilities from consignment stores            1000 -
During Settlement
Liabilities from consignment stores   1000 +
Vendor account                                1000 -
For your scenario 2, follow the same steps as mentioned above and do the goods issue directly from consignment stock.
You can do the settlement to vendor only for the stocks that you consumed.

Prabu

Advance payment to vendor business process and configuration

Hi All,
Please share any PDF or links for configuration and business process of advance payment to vendor. We are going to implement in ECC6 system.

Hi,
Vendor Downpayment functionality might be useful for your case. You may implement EHP4 in your system which provides an enhanced downpayment funtionality which allows you to enter the downpayments while PO creation only. The downpayment can then later be cleared during Invoice processing.
You might need help of FI consultant as well, because downpayment is mainly FI related.
Don't have any PDF as such but search in the forums with vendor downpayments and you will definately get good results.
