Price approval

Dear all,
We have a process of approving the prices with supplier other than PR, RFQ, maintain quotation, Price comparison and that we named as "Price Approval" process. (For future amendments, we are using Price Change Approval). For these processes, we use excel and other systems.
This is what based on the supplier quote and our visit at supplier end, we check the cost details like basic rate, excise duty, freinght, landed cost, net weight, recover scrap, etc.. then it will go to the approval hierarchy. based on that only we are creating PO or sch agmnts
Whether any SAP system process availabe to include the above procss in SAP itself before creating purchase order or scheduling agreement or we have customize the process?
Warm regards,
M.Selvaganesh

hi
RFQ is the only process available for price comparison,
and the approval part is being taken care by release procedure.
so u can use RFQ process
serch on net u will get full process for RFQ

Price changing after suggesting and approval

Hi Experts,
I need help: our company sells domestic appliance, for expample TVs, dvd, refrigeratorsu2026.. We have in SAP the prices for each product (e.g. article with label UE40D6530 and the price is 999 eur. We have a large number of article, and 90 branches in whole country).
My inquiry: for some reasons I need change the price from 999 eur to 949 eur (due to local competitors), but I need, that 1 user can suggest the new price 949, but the another user with higher authority in SAP can this new lower price approve.
Also, the price will be changed at 949 eur only after the approval from the user with higher authority.
Is there any transaction, which can do this?
Many thanks
sorry for my English
I hope, you will understand, what I meant.
zahadum

Thanks for help, but sorry, I do not understand, how can I use this V/07.
I will describe more, what I mean::
We have 4 users with a different authority in SAP in this order (from low to high):
VP001 u2013 this user can change the price only to -3%
LM001 u2013 this user can change the price to   -15%
NO001 u2013 this user can change the price to -30%
OR001 u2013 this user can change the price to -100% (unlimited)
Our company sold the products in shops (not at internet)
Example:
We have the product UE40D6530,which is normally sold for 999 Euro.
But the customer wants the lower price, at 949 Euro. The different/discount is 50 Eur (999-949=50 Euro), what is 5% of discount.
VP001 (manager of branch) is not able to make this discount, because his limit is 3% of price change (in our example is discount 5%). He is only able to suggest the new price at 949 Eur, but he is not able to change this.
This suggest go to user LM001 (he has limit to minus -15%). He can approve this new price at 949 Eur.
I have these questions:
a)     How and where can I adjust the authority to particular users and to particular price changing? Which condition, or transaction, or something else?
b)     Can I do this change only at VK11,VK12? Is there any other transactions, where can I change the price of 10 000 products in bulk?
Many thanks for answer
If you do not understand, what I mean, plase write me, and I will attempt to describe my request better.

Approval event would like to have
1. If the field - Unit Price is blank -> user need to set the UDF "blank approval " to Yes, so can add the document
2. If the field - Unit Price is lower than the field - Standard Price -> user need to set the UDF "unit price lower than standard price to" Yes, so can add the document

Can any one tell me the query

Create seperate approval stages for the users A,B & C.
In each approval stages set No. of approvals required as 2.
For the User-A in approval stage,
Select User-G,Select Department.
Select User-Y,Select purchase department.
Similarly create approval stages for Users B & C.
Also create 3 seperate approval procedures
for the users A,B & C.
Link approval stage of user-A with each approval procedure
for User-GY,Set Orginator as User-A & department,Select
Purchase Order in Documents Tab,in terms
Apply condition using query(Istavan).

Requisition in SAP B1

Hi All,
My client follows the present process and I need to map this in SAP B1
Process at my client starts from Purchase Requisition. Purchase Requisition is raised by individual departments for all the items. Indents are raised for items such as non-BOM, consumables, Spares, Capital Goods, tools. Individual departments raise Purchase Indents based on their requirement.
1. Then the Indents are sent to concerned department owners for quantity approval. After getting an approval from the heads of relevant department, the indents are forwarded to purchase department.
Purchase department obtains quotations from vendors and send it for price approval.
2. Purchase department will raise a Purchase Order for the approved quantity. Purchase order will be sent to Purchase department owner for price approval
Here, we need to have two stages for approval
1. Quantity approval from any department
2. Price approval from purchase department
As I am aware that SAP B1 does not support Requisition, is there any way to map this process in B1 through approval procedure?
Regards
Shashi

How to - only display the price of approved PO (not change mode)

Hi,
Following are our PO release strategy
1. Release id : P has
a. Released indicator (tick)
b. Changeablity - 4
The above setup is working fine, means still after the approval users can change all the fields. New strategy is triggered once the values are changed.
Now the issue is business owner does not want the price, qty in change mode after approval. After approval ME22N to show
1. Price & qty to be in display mode
2. All other fields (except the one which affects PRICE) in change mode.
I tried to all the combinations, but after approval I get to see either all the fields in display mode or all in change mode.
Is it possible to display the price related fields only for the approved PO in ME22N.
Please advice
Thanks,
Raj.

Hi Mani,
Thanks for the fast reply.
1. There is no ME22N - Fsel Key available.
2. Only for the approved PO - we want the price fields in display mode.
3. There is no restriction required for the un approved POs.
Is there any way.
Please reply
Thanks
Raj.

Approval procedure if user change in the unit price at Purchase Order

Dear Experts,
I have defined purchase price list in the item master data. I want an approval if there is any devaition in the purchase price list and unit price which is defined in the purchase order. It will always go for the approval.
Regards,
Ravindera

Dear Ravindera,
Approval is only working on the header level. Unless you just care about the first line, no approval procedure can be built for other lines.
You can block those PO by SP_TN instead.

Valuation Price issue in PR Approval form

Hi,
We have a PR with multiple line items and different valuation price.
But in the PR approval form, the valuation price is showing only the line item 1's valuation price, not
total valuation price of the all items.
Can any one help me how to show the valuation price as sum of the all line items values.
Thanks in advance
Rajeev

Dear Rajeev,
Please check in spro whether system is configured for Item level or Header level release.
check the tick sign at Release group.
For item level release system considers the value of line item and for header level release system takes the total value of line items.

PO triggered for re-approval when the price is decreased

Dear SRM Experts,
We are on SRM 5.0 and using ECS.
In our system, when the price of the PO is reduced, approval workflow is triggered once again. As per my understanding, the workflow should only trigger for the PO when the price is increased.
Any idea?

Initiating re-approval on price change durin purchase requisition approval

Hello everyone,
Must be a basic requirement for most people...can you please help us here?
We have a requisition approval hierarchy (defined in AME). We want the functionality that whenever an approver updates the price (through the "Open Document" in notification), the purchase requisition should be sent for re-approval starting with the requestor. Is there any profile option or workflow attribute which can be used for this purpose? I believe PO has some such option for setting the tolerance percentage, but don't know whether iprocurement has similar one.
Btw, we are using 11.5.10.2
thanks in advance,

Good day! i bought the iphone 5 in your shop (29|01|13). price 679 euro (approved in all EU countries). in Russia he is does not work. imei 013412001872664. please tell me!!how unlock my phone.

Good day! i bought the iphone 5 in App store Franckfurt (29|01|13). price 679 euro (approved in all EU countries). in Russia he is does not work. imei 013412001872664. please unlock my phone.

Well, perhaps the problem exists because the Russian phone networks do not support the iPhone. This could be one reason.
The only solution you have is to do into one of the Russian phone stores and ask them to see if they know why the sim cards won't work or last resort, you contact the Apple store in Germany - there is an online Apple store that you can contact and ask them why Russian sim cards won't work in an unlocked iPhone.
Nobody else can really help you - you need to contact the Apple store in Germany directly or go to one of the Russian phone operators and ask them.

PO Quote price break approval

We want to approve Price Break Quotation lines thru program in R12 (we have lots of lines, so can not be possible one by one from screen). Oracle form calls the QUOTATION_APPROVALS_PKG.Insert_Row (and additional activities) to do this. The procedure is just to insert into the approval table. But the approval process somewhere DOES update ICX tables, that I am not able to understand. Because of this missing ICX updates, the approval is NOT reflected in iProcurement if I just call QUOTATION_APPROVALS_PKG.Insert_Row. Does anyone has idea on what it does (like API calls) to update the ICX. Tables like ICX_CAT_ITEMS_CTX_HDRS_TLP & icx_cat_items_ctx_dtls_tlp are updated for sure as seen in the SQL Trace.
Appreciate your help.
Thnx

Hi,
Way to close period in MM.
SAP 4.7
IMG > Financial Accounting > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Document> Posting Periods > Open and Close Posting Periods
or
ECC 6.0
IMG > Financial Accounting (New) > Financial Accounting Global Settings (new) > Fiscal Year and Posting Periods > Posting Periods > Open and Close Posting Periods
You have to close every month the financial period by closing the posting period.
So in this case you have to close 2nd month of 2012.
You can aslo use Txn MMPV to do so.
You have to give company code, Month, year and close
and then click execute button

Approval at the time of price difference

Hi,
I have defined the sales price in the item master as 100.
At the time of preparing the sales order if the user changes the price for the item then it should go for approval. Please
let me know how can i do this.
regards
Suresh S

Hi Suresh,
This can be done by using status profile at the sales order header and with function module I_Change_Status, you can change the user status in background and the order would need approval from the manager before allowing to create any subsequent documents.
So create user status in your status profile
SPRO - SD - SALES - DEFINE AND ASSIGN STATUS PROFILE - SALES DOCUMENT HEADER
10 - Order Created
20 - Order Confirmed
30 - Order changes pending approval
40 - Order Rejected
50 - Order changes approved
Now your abapper can write a logic in program MV45AFZZ wherein, whenever something in the order is changed after the order has been confirmed (status 20), then the status would automatically be set to 30. ((This can be done changes made to pricing if order is still at status 10. You have to decide the best possible scenario, i am just giving you an overview))
Now your sales manager can come and either make it 40 if he wants to reject it, or make it 50, if he is okay with the new rates or discounts if any.
You can find what changes have been made in the order by going to Environment - Changes.
This will give the manager a clear picture of which fields in the order have changed.
I have used this concept and it works perfectly fine.
Try and let me know.
Reward points for contribution if helpful.

Approval Resets Price to zero

Hi,
We have a problem in our shopping cart approval. For some materials, there is already a price and a vendor based on a contract. So once the shopping cart is created and approved, it will automatically be converted to a PO. What is happening is that once the shopping cart is approved, the price in the newly created PO becomes zero and it is routed back to the buyer for sourcing.
Why is it that the price resets to zero once the shopping cart has been approved?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

hi,
Pls refer note 550071.
Some info pertaining to your problem---
The following logic has been designed for price transfer when you transfer shopping baskets from EBP component:
a) If a valid source is assigned to the shopping basket item (for example, an info record or a contract), the price is transferred to the purchase order from the source of supply - unless, the item is created via a catalog and it contains the catalog price.
b) All other items (for example via the free form entry or items with a material number) received the price in the purchase order from the source of supply.
Due to many customer requests, the logic has been changed a little:
a) As soon as an item contains a price higher than 0 - regardless of how the item is created (free entry or catalog) - this is transferred to the purchase order.
b) An exception is items with a material number since the valuation price can never be the purchase price.
c) All items without an explicit price receive the price from the info record or contract.
Reasoning :
A price determination in connection with the assigned source of supply is not carried out since this would mean several remote calls, to determine the correct price. Both info record and outline agreement contain master conditions. This means that the valid price must be determined together with the quantity and the delivery date again (because of price-quantity scales, header conditions, validity periods and so on). A completely new price determination would have to be carried out each time if the user changed the quantity or the date again - this is not carried out for reasons of performance. Since the purchase order resulting from the shopping basket contains the correct price from info record or outline agreement, this only affects creation of the shopping basket and may under certain circumstances influence the release(Workflow).
However in case of local Purchase Orders it can be done without any performance overhead and hence is supported.
If a different behavior is desired, you can implement the BAdI BBP_APPEND_ITEM to get the price of a Shopping Cart item with assigned source of supply from the backend. However the price won't show up in the online transaction while the user creates the Shopping Cart. It is updated by the BAdI when the Shopping Cart is saved. Please evaluate the usage of this BAdI against performance concerns.
HTH.
