Prevention of assignment of Purchase Order to External activity from ME21N

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to prevent account-assigning a purchase order or requisition to an external activity outside of PS, (CJ20N or CN22). The external activity will generate a purchase requisition when released from CJ20n or CN22.
If someone goes outside of PS in ME51N or ME21N, they can also create a purcahse requisition or P.O. and assign it to that same network activity.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

In MM Customizing go to Purchasing=> Account Assignment Categories
For Acc Assignment Assignment Category 'N' make the field 'Order' as display only.
with regards,
Ravi Shrivastav

Purchase Order Modification: External Document Number already assigned

Hello,
We're running Extended Classic Scenario in a SRM 4.0 implementation.
The problem is the following: When the user modifies a purchase order (this purchase order is already replicated to the backend), sometimes (not always), the next error occurs:
"Purchase Order XXXXXXXXXX: PO header data still faulty "
"Purchase Order XXXXXXXXXX: External document number XXXXXXXXX already assigned"
The system does not provide additional info (RZ20 give us the same message, no ST22 dumps...
We think it could be some kind of error in the standard BAPI BAPI_PO_CHANGE.
We've revised the SAP OSS but didn´t find anything....
Some idea?
Regards and Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
for your requirement raise one servoce PO for 1000-00, with item category 'D',
for that line item , it is possible to maintain sub-services line items,
but, it is not possible to maintain raw materials under the service activity ,
if you want to valuate paint cost also, maintain the sub service line item with short description ,
at the time of SES , u can create individual SES, for all sub services,
hope this is helpful,

How to Create inspection that assign to Purchase Order / Material Document

Dear QM Master,
I am using QA01 to create inspection lot but can any master tell me , How to Create inspection that assign to Purchase Order / Material Document ?
Appreciate.
Thank you.

Hello,
When you create an inspection lot manually, you cannot reference an original document (for example, a goods receipt document, an order, or a delivery note).
In QA01 you can create inspection lot manually for all inspection lot origins except the following:
10 - Delivery to customer with sales order
11 - Delivery to customer without sales order
12 - General delivery
13 - Repetitive manufacturing
14 - Plant maintenance

Purchase order document external send status

From other posted messages that table NAST is not related to table SOST.
We send PO to vendors via Esker Fax, therefore, the external sent status can be viewed via transaction code SOST. Data of external sent is maintained in table SOST. But the document number is not linked with SOST table. Is there any other way I can get the external sent status for each external sent document?
Thanks,

The vendor e-mail address is picked up from the master data and the purchaser's e-mail would be picked up from their user account. The problem is that I don't know at what stage in the program SAPFM06P, used for sending the purchase order, I could set up the distribution list.
If I set the vendor address to name.address@somewhere; name2.address@somewhere else this works and both name and name2 receive the e-mail. But it would mean the purchasers ammending the vendor e-mail address each time, which just isn't practical.
I probably should have said that I'm using SAP version 46c and the e-mail is sent using standard SAP settings for 5-External send using program SAPFM06P and form MEDRUCK.
Thanks for the advice

Purchase order for external service

Dear experts,
I tried creating a purchase order for a service, with account assignment unknown U, with item category D, but after entering the item details in the item overview, it keep saying " ACCOUNT ASSIGNMENT UNKNOWN NOT ALLOWED WITHOUT GOOD RECEIPT", i would like to know why this message is coming up, and how to rectify it, thanks for your anticipated contribution

Hi,
You can not use Account assignment unknown U in the creation of service order as system need a cost object with a G/L account during saving of service order which help system to post to required G/L account automatically on further transaction MIGO & MIRO posting.
You can create contract(ME31) with Account assignment unknown U & item category D as you do not know from which account or cost object specific the contract going to be used,so as the contract can be used for all department/cost center./project related in future.And then you can create a release order/call off/service order(ME21N) with Account assignment unknown K(in case of cost center) & item category D wrt contract with entering all likes cost object u2013 cost center , G/L account related with other input data.
Check any user exit which not allow to create with Account assignment unknown U & item category D.
NOTE: if you create service order with Account assignment unknown U & item category D,then during SES, you need to enter cost object ( K or P or C etc) with a G/L account.

Purchase order through External Send to include a CC address

Does anyone have any idea how to get the e-mail of a purchase order sent through External Send to include a CC address in the e-mail?
I have searched the forum and found a few questions regarding sending a purchase order to more than 1 e-mail address using external send, but not solutions.
We have got this working to send to the vendor, but the purchasing manager won't use it until we are able to cc the purchaser into the mail. This is to allow the purchaser to keep track on what has been sent. It seems like an obvious thing to want to do. Is it possible in standard SAP? If not, where should I start to get this to work? Is there a customer exit or another area of code somewhere that I can change to trigger a second e-mail. Alternatively can I run this through workflow somehow?
Any suggestions will be greatfully received and rewarded.
Thank you
Karen

Can SAP get material number in Purchase order in external processing?

I have a question that:
As I know, Exeternal processing is a service, so that Material number can not be shown in purchase order converted from PR for external processing. Here, PR can be automately generated from transaction CO01 to create an external processing production order. Meanwhile, for external processing, purchase info record is created without material number only with material group.
So, I want to know that if there any solutions to show material number in purchase order generated for external processing?
thanks,
best regards,

If therer are no production order, How can I get finished products from internal activity and external processing?
Now, external processing in our company like this:
1.create an purchase info record. (type:subcontracting, with material group, but not material ID)
2.Maintan external processing data in external operation where external processing happens.(control key: pp02, external processing data: info record, purchase org. net price, cost element etc.)
3.create a production order for the material.(one of the operations is an external processing operation described like step 2)
4.Purchase requstion is changed into Purchase order. (Purchase requestion is automately created with the production order)
5.MIGO to receive goods from the purchase order.
6.finished the production order and delivery goods.then the production order is DLV.
In step 4, purchase order can only get the production order ID, but there are no material ID shown in it. Only method to show material is that maintaining a description text in the external operation, then, purchase order item could show material in material text(but, here, there is no material ID derectly from info record or production order).
this is the big problem now for our company. No material ID can be automately carried into the purchase order.
Hope you help..
thanks...

Automatic buyer assignment on Purchase Orders

Is it possible to change the buyer assignment hierarchy?
We currently assign a buyer to most categories. Requisitions are then assigned a buyer dependant on category selection.
If a requisition is linked to a CPA or BPA, the PO is automatically created and approved. The buyer named on the resulting PO or release is depends if a buyer has been assigned to that category.
Example 1
The “Stationery” category is assigned to Buyer A
Buyer B is the named buyer on the CPA
The resulting PO is created with Buyer A as the named buyer.
Example 2
The “Furniture” is not assigned to a buyer
Buyer B is named on the CPA
The resulting PO is created with Buyer B as the named buyer.
The current configuration is cause issues where requisitions for mixed goods are being split into several orders.
The outcome we need is to change the assignment of the buyer on the resulting PO. We would like to ensure that the Buyer named on the CPA is always the buyer on the resulting PO.
Example 3
The “Stationery” category is assigned to Buyer A
Buyer B is the named buyer on the CPA
The resulting PO is created with Buyer B as the named buyer.
Is it possible force Purchasing to always place the CPA buyer on the resulting PO.

You have to customize "PO Create Documents" purchasing workflow.
Please see:
Purchaing user guide > Procurement Workflows > Workflow for Creating Purchase Orders and Releases > "Summary of the Get Buyer Subprocess" section.
It will be easy, just exclude few functions in this workflow and try to leave only "Get Buyer From Source Doc".

Revision level of material automatically assign to purchase order

Hello all,
when I create a new purchase order for a material, is it possible to assign the latest revision level of that material (material master - basic data 1) automatically to the Revision level field on item level - Material data for the material in the PO? Meaning when I create the PO with this material, SAP automatically fills this field with the revision information from the material master?
Thanks
Anne

It should pick latest revision level.Becuse PO get all data from material master.
