PR to be converted to STO

Can purchase requisition be converted to stock transport order ?
If it has to be done by MRP automatically, what configuration to be maintained ?

Hi
In Material Master, MRP2 View...if you have maintained Special Procurement Key as Stock Transfer..then in your MRP Run automatically....PR will be created with Item category "U"...then you can convert this PR into STO according to your requirement...
Follow the below steps to to make STO between two plants belongs to same company codes).It is also called as Intera- Company STO.....
1)Create one Customer for Supplying Plant Sales area and assign this Customer no with Receiving Plant in OLME---> PO -
> Set up STO -
> define Shipping Data for plants. and maintain the same sales area in your Supplying plant.
2) In OLME---> PO -
> Set up STO.....for your Document Type: UB and Suppying plant Combination assign Del. Type NL and Checking rule RP
3) In OLME---> PO -
> Set up STO...for your Supplying Plant and Receiving Plant combination Maintain Doc. Type : UB
Make sure you are maintaining Sales View for your Material at Supplying Plant.
4) Maintain Shipping point at, SPRO----> Logistics Execution -
> Shipping -
> Basic Shipping Functions -
> Shipping Point Determination for Plants.....there for your Loading group,Shipping Condition, Shipping Plant combination maintain Shipping plant..
Now Create STO in ME21N with Doc.type: UB at Receiving Plant.
Then Create Delivery in VL10B from Supplying Plant...
Then Do PGI in VL02N from supplying Plant.
Then do GR at Receiving Plant based on Outbound Delivery at Receiving Plant...
Reward if useful

Convert ConRel STO into Purchase Order#

Hello Gurus,
I am not very familiar with the SNP part of APO. The scenario is - I have created a TLB order (ConRel STO) in APO but I wanted to revert/convert it to Purchase Order # so that I can see it in ECC. How can I do that. Please advise.
Thank you!

Hello,
On transaction /SAPAPO/RRP3 you select the order and click on button "Order conversion".
The F1 help:
Conversion Indicator for Orders
Use
When you set this indicator for a planned order or a purchase requisition, the system automatically converts the order into a manufacturing order or purchase order after the transfer to the connected SAP R/3 system.
The converted orders are then retransferred to the SAP APO system with a different category; a purchase requisition with category BS-ANF becomes a purchase order delivery schedule line with category BS-EIN.
You cannot set the conversion indicator for scheduling agreement schedule lines.
Dependencies
If you set the conversion indicator, and if a conversion rule has been defined for the product, the system executes the conversion checks defined in the conversion rule.
Best regards,

Availablity check at storage location level in STO

Hi,
There is an unique requirement from my client with respect to the Availability check at storage location level in STO
Process:
Based on the inputs from APO we are creating STR for moving the material from one plant to another plant. These STR’s will be converted into STO through ME59N batch job. During STO creation process system will do the availability check and only if stock is available in the issuing plant then only STO will be generated.
During this availability check the stock will be considered at plant level and not at storage location level.
Requirement/Scenario:
Issuing plant contains two storage location ( location A & B).FG stock exists in both the locations.
Our requirement is system should create separate line items in the STO based on the availability of the stock in the respective storage locations.
Example
Total required qty: 1000 of material X
material X - Stock in Storage location A : 600
material X - Stock in Storage location B : 400
Two separate line item needs to be created in the STO
Sl no
Material
qty
Issuing storage location
1
X
600
A
2
X
400
B
Is there any function module available for doing Availability check at storage location level so that it can be called in ME59N with the enhancement.
Please suggest how to achieve this. If any enhancements needs to be done we will do it.
Thanks & regards,
Prashanth

Hi Nilesh,
in SAP standard the system is always checking on plant level first and then on the storage location level, there is no possibility to change this behaviour.
I'm also not sure if the process is correct, because if you have also requirements on plant level only then you would create negative ATP if you confirm on storage location level even though there is no ATP on plant level.
I'm also not aware of a user-exit that would suite your requirement, additionally according to the IMG documentation the user-exits in the availability check area should only be carried out in agreement with SAP.

PR to PO Converted on a Date

Dear All,
Please help me in the issue.
There is a Automatic Program created in system which if there is no Stock then with the PR's Available it converts into STO.
I want to identify why did the system convert the PR's to PO's on that Date.
Is there any way to check what stock was there on that and why the conversion took place.
Regards
Amey Kulkarni

It seems to be custom developed program, pl take help of abaper to understand it's logic.
Stock can be seen in MMBE & MB52.

STO from unrestricted to E stock from TAB item in Sales Order?

Hi all,
We have the situation where we are shipping stock intra-company via the STO Process. The requirements are being driven of a TAB item on the Sales Order, and the purchase req is being generated automatically, and being converted to STO > Delivery > Shipped then received at requesting plant.
If we leave the Dependent Requirements Indicator on MRP4 in Material Master to blank the stock is shipped from the shipping plant as Sales Order stock and received into the requesting plant as Sales Order stock. If we change the Dependent Requirements Indicator on MRP4 in material Master to '2' then it trys to ship the stock as unrestricted, and the theory is that is should be received as Sales Order stock.
Shipping as Unrestricted and receiving as Sales Order stock is exactly the scenario we are trying to achieve.
We initially ran into an issue with error message M7146. OSS Note 305582 describes this situation, and says we need to change the consumption posting on Account Assignment Catgegory M to be 'E - Accounting via Sales Order'.
So we changed this, and now when we try and create the Sales Order we get an error message kd051 Maintain a Settlement Profile. We are told by our Finance people that we cannot use the Sales Order as a cost collector as it impacts the PA reporting, so I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how we can resolve this issue.
Many Thanks.

2 levels of STO b/w 3 plants

Dear consultants,
My client has 3 plants (0001 as Sales Plant, 0002 as distribution center, 0003 as production plant)
And we need to implement the following scenario:
1) In sales plant will create sales orders and run MRP to create purchase requisition and convert to STOs to be supplied from distribution center plant
2) Distribution center plant will receive STOs coming from sales plant and run MRP to create PR then convert it to STOs to be supplied from production plant.
**Do you think this scenario is applicable through using special procurement type as the following?
1- In sales plant (material master) assign (special procurement type = supply from alternative plant which is distribution center)
2- In distribution center plant (material master) assign (special procurement type = supply from alternative plant which is production plant)

Hi
Greetings !
The process suggested by you will meet the requirement with the special procurement key.
You should also have source list maintained for the material- plant with the supplying plant assigned , made Relevant for MRP to create PR.
In order to enabling shipping from the supplying plants, ensure the supplying plants are created as customer and shipping conditions are maintained.

Sales Stock for STO POs

Hi All,
I had created a sales order PR.
PR is converted as STO PO.
SO number & Item number available in Account Assignment Tab of STO.
During Delivery process via VL10B, system is considering the Unrestricted Stock instead of Sales Order Stock.
How to address this issue?
Rgds,
Senni.B

Senni,
What is the requirements type of the sales order? VA03 > Select Item > Select procurement tab.
What is the MRP strategy group (MM03 > MRP3 tab) of the material in the destination plant? in the supplying plant?
What is the Bom explosion/dependent reqments "individual/collective" setting (MM03 MRP3 tab)?
Manually creating a PR and manually converting a PR to a STO does not necessarily make the PR and STO relevant for SO stock. The requirements type of the Sales Order, the PR, and the STO must all be relevant for E stock before the Delivery will be created relevant for SO stock.

Instant STR TO STO creation during RBATP

Hello Experts,
I would like to get your opinion on how to instantly convert an STR (PreqRel) to STO in APO.
Here is the scenario:
Created an SO in with product P1 at its primary location L1
I have a rule set up in APO wherein if L1 doesnt have stock go to L2 and transfer the stock via STR (this is what is happening right now)
So in the Source location ie L1 in rrp3, there is a SO and Purchase requisition.
In RRP3 view of L2 its STR.
Here are my questions.
I see that in RRP3 view of L1 the Purchase req is always PP firmed. Can we create an PR without this PP firm column checked?
We are running deployment heuristics and then TLB (handled by other team), what does it mean for these systems when STR is PP firmed.
Is there a possibility of creating an STO directly rather than STR. If yes then what is the config setting? I know that STR can be converted through RRP7 in apo. But I dont want the system to create STR at all.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Regards

Hi ,
For creation of non PP-Firmed Orders you should check conversion routines in APO .
PP-Firmed receipts means "system cannot change the receipt quantities, or delete the order, during planning with the production planning heuristics, even if the requirements quantity has changed. However, you can change the receipt quantity or delete the order manually".
STR Step can not be eliminated . Its essential for planning phase to create STR which later should get converted to STO in execution phase .
Hope this helps !!

Best practice for centralized material planning in distributed environment

Hi All- Hope everybody is doing fine. Things are going fine,at my end.
We are debating on the organization hierarchy decision at our current utilities client. We are proposing that:
1) We will have central warehouse as plant/storage location/warehouse.
2) Create one plant (it will be virtual only) and 65 storage locations. Plant maintenance orders will be created at the storage location and it will generate the reservation at the plant level. This reservation will be converted into STO during MRP run. Central warehouse plant will use this STO to create the outbound delivery and then the shipping documents. APO will be ok with arrangement as all the requirements are centralized. Now my problem is, the reservation doesnt have any delivery address to copy it in the STO. To populate the delivery address automatically, I believe we will need the modification / enhancement. Am I right? If this is right then what type of modification we will require? I mean effort wise (hours etc.) & time wise.
ANy help is highly appreciated.
best regards,
KHAN

Hi,
If all 65 storage locations are going to be just different areas within the same physical site (address) then that should be OK, but if any of those storage locations have a different site address to the others then I would suggest that they should be Plants and NOT storage locations.
The reason you are having problems with addresses is that in a Plant to Plant reservation the plants have different addresses.
PLEASE don't use storag locations for different sites, if you DO then this will only be the first of MANY modifications that you will have to do.
Yes there will be more master data if they are all set as plants, but how many times does master data change compared to how many receipts, issues and transfers etc. will occur. I would rather compromise on the master data maintenance than have to compromise on EVERY movement.
I can't stress this strongly enough, if you use storage locations when you should be using plants you WILL lose major functionality and the SAP implementation will be seen as a poor one.
I have seen many implementations at first hand where this has been the one influencing factor that has resulted in a poor implementation instead of a good one.

How to generate a trigger in the CIF on ECC custom field ?

Hi
We have an intercompany scenario in ECC where we use a custom transaction to convert the stock transfer order into a sales order (at the source plant).
As the 2 objects are not technically linked in ECC, we modified the CIF in order to delete the stock transfer during the transfer for the Source location in APO, so we only see the sales order at this location and not anymore the STO.
However this custom transaction is not modifying any standard field in the stock transfer at the point of conversion, therefore there is no trigger to APO generated.
Do you know an easy way to generate this trigger ? we tried with the bapi po_change to modify some standard fields, but no field is really secured to play with. We'd rather prefer to generate a trigger out of a custom field.
Thanks in advance,
Fanny

Hi Fanny ,
Here is a thought .
You want to delete the sto in APO because you dont want the demand to double dip. That is after you have converted the sto to a sales order using your custom program , unless you delete the sto your demand will show up both in so and sto which is necessarily a duplication of demand.
But there is no need to delete the sto for that. You can make the demand element of the sto as not relevant to pegging . After converting your sto to so , if you mark the demand of the sto as non relevant to pegging then , sto demand will not be accounted for when calculating the stock availability and the demand element will not be displayed in the planning book also. So the only impact in this case will be that the order will be visible in the receipts view though it will not affect the stock . I think this will serve your purpose. Just give it a thought.
But if you decide to follow this approach, you have to put in custom code to pick the relevant sto's and mark them as non- relevant to pegging. Also you have to configure the ATP category corresponding to the sto to pick the confirmed quantity and display the same in the planning book . Otherwise the sto demand will show up in the planning book.
Thanks

Goods receipt during inbound delivery

Hi all,
We have a Plant (DVOP) and Subcontractor (Vendor- 2010113) in Japan
region and have mapped this Vendor as a MRP Area Vendor (2010113) in
the Japan Plant (DVOP). We do safety stock planning at each location.
Based on the Master Data set up for the Subcontracting components MRP
creates the Purchase Requisition for the components (which needs to be
delivered to Subcontractor) and to this PR we convert into STO to
deliver the material from Plant DVOP to MRP Area (2010113). System is
allowing us to create the POs with Document type UB. We are delivering
the PO using transaction VL10F to the MRP Area. In the document type we
are not mentioning Item Category as L as the document type UB is not
allowing us to change the Item Category to U.
After creating the delivery and PGI to the MRP Area, subcontractor
receives the stock by inbound delivery (VL32N), and during the PGR
time, we are getting the below error in the inbound delivery.
Message no M7 226
The System could not find entry in 101 X X O B X in any of the movement
type control tables
please can anyone advise,,,
thanks
sudhakar

Hi,
For creating inbound delivery , Confirmation tab must be entered in PO. It is must.then only you can post GR wrt Inbound delivery.
Try it and any quries let me know.

User Exit to Create Production Order when creating of Purchase Order

Hi Guru's,
I want to create the Production Order when creating the Purchase Order. i want to know is there any user exit exists for that??
My scenario is as follows.
we are converting the Purchase Requisition to the Purchase Order , while doing this we want to create the Production Order.. Is this possible??
If possible how can we do that???Please suggest me the possible solution.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you,
Adi.

Teja,
My Scenario is as follows.
P1- Manufacturing Plant
P2 - WareHouse Plant (Procures Material from P1 using STO)
When we run the MRP in P2, it creates a Purchase Requisition, that Purc.Req is going to be convert as STO (Stock Transport Order) in P1 Plant.
When converting the Purchase Req to STO, we need to create a Production Order in P1 Plant.
we know that system will creae the Purchase Order only, is there any possibility that,For creating the Production Order is there any user Exit/BADI or any other procedure while creating the Purchase Order????
Thanks,
Adi.

User exit for PR

hi all
what we need is if the stock is available at other plants then the user should not able to create the PR
is there any user exit for checking the stock at all plant while creating the PR,

Are you talking about stock materials? If it is stock material, normal practise is to create a reservation and not PR by manual creation.
Normally Purchase Requisition is created by Plant users. So they will just create the PR, as per their requirement, and they are not bothered about availability at other plants. It is the job of inventory controller to see whether any stock is available t other plants. If any such stock exists at other plants, then he will advise plant perople to cancel the PR or this PR can be converted to STO. So logically, we should not stop creating PR if stock is available at other plants.

Default Order unit

Hi All,
I have a situation where, i am creating a STO requsition and then converting to STO.
When i am creating a Stock transfer Purchase requsition the base unit of measure defaults in from the material master as EA. We have left the order unit to be blank in the material master since the material is used by different groups with diiferent order units. We have a source list for the required order unit KG to default in the STO. The order unit from source lists helps creating STO in the required unit only when we hit the Assign source of supply in the item tab and the required order unit pops up in the STO when PR is converted from PO..My questions is there any other way to automatically default the order unit in the purchase requsition with out even hitting the assign source of supply in the item tab?
Purchase Info record will not work as it is UB doc type. Also we dont wan to maintain in the material master.
Edited by: AKRUS on Oct 27, 2008 10:30 PM

Hi,
Like you said, the order unit is different depending on the vendor/supplying plant. So SAP can only determine the order unit when a source is determined.
You can create scheduling agreement using ME37 and put it in your source list but you still need to have the source determination.
In IMG OMFI, you can create default values for users and select to have the source determination indicator defaulted to PR, then it will be done automatically for you when the PR is created. Assign the default value created in OMFI as under Parameter ID 'EVO' against the users in SU01.

Configuration setting for Auto TO through Delivery (outbound)

Hi Gurus,
Could you plz, tell me whrere is the config setting for TO. creation through VL06O.
I am fallowing the below steps
1.STO creation.(STR converted to STO via ME59N).
2.Delivery created thru VL10B.
3.TO created thru VL06O (When I click on TO in background, TO is creating and displaying in LT23)
After the above process I confirm TO and do the post goods issue.
I want to know info. about configuration setting to create TO through VL06O.
your hlep will appriciated a lot.
thanks
raghu

Hi Raghu,
There is no separate settings for VL06O for Automatic TO creation.
Normally we assign the Automatic Creation to Mov.types in WM.
SPRO - LE - WM - Activities - Transfers - Set Up Autom. TO Creation for TRs / Posting Change Notices
In the above scenario which you have mentioned you are creating TO in the background which is done using the Mov.type & Strorage type Strategy Settings & its not a Auto TO creation.
Hope its clear,
Regards,
