Procurement for a BOM

Dear Experts,
I came across a typical scenariou2026 looks very simple and very general but not able to come up with exact solutionu2026this scenario is more typical in electronic industries.
Scenario1 (without scales)
I have a hierarchical BOM, I ask my supplier to quote for 1 set. The supplier quotes for each and individual items (without scales). The system will automatically calculate the cost of the BOM. (up to here, I would have managed with using outline, but outline allows only services, but my BOM has coded materials).
Then while making PO, for example say, I want to order for 5 sets. Then the system should be automatically multiply all items by 5 and generate a PO for 5 sets. The GR will be done at item level.
Scenario2 (without scales)
Same as scenario1, except that, here the supplier is asked to enter the prices for individual item with scales, so that the quote will be useful for multiple sets also. Then, while making a PO, I may order, for example, 5 sets or 50 sets or 100 sets etcu2026 then the system should multiply the quantities of line items by u2018number of sets requiredu2019 and accordingly pick-up price related to the scales at item level.
Scenario3 (using contract with scales)
Same as scenario2, except that, I want to convert such quotation as a price contract, and make release orders, as on when required.
Can anybody suggest what is the best way to handle this? (available solution or work around solution).
GH

My own view about this is the scenario itself is wrong practice!
The requirements should have been generated from MRP, using BOM explosion. Then the system decides the number of the individual items to be procured.
But due to other business reasons, the scenario seems to be genuineu2026 request you to put your opinionu2026

Direct Procurement for BOM component

Hi there,
If we want to use direct procurement for BOM component then where do we set the indicatior in BOM. I am not able to find the same in BOM.........??
Please advice me ....
Regards
Kaushik

Hi Kaushik,
Maintain Direct Procurment is OPPQ-Plant paramaters. Here you specify whether the direct procurement is triggered by the Planning Run or the MRP.
And also maintain a key for Special procurement Direct Procurement in OPPQ.
Please assign Special Procurement Key as Direct procurement is MRP-2 view of material master.
Thanks and regards

SAP Procurement for Public Sector package

Hi All,
does anyone have any useful info on what is actually included in the SAP Procurement for Public Sector package?
I've read the solution brief which is really general and doens't actually give any details.
What I'm after is to know which components of SRM are actually included in this licensing package?
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,
I'm part of the IBU for Public Sector, specializing in the SAP PPS Package.
HIGH-LEVEL PACKAGE CONTENTS (a.k.a. BOM):
- SAP SRM (current GA release based on 5.0; Q4 08 planned release is based on 7.0)
- SAP Document Builder (current GA release v 2.0; Q4 08 planned release has v 3.0)
- SAP NW Records Management/Case Management (rights to use for any procurement scenarios - HR, FI, other uses require additional licenses)
- Enhancements to these components and SAP ERP 2005 that are known in the technical component list as Government Procurement 1.0 (in the current GA release) or Government Procurement 7.0 (in the Q4 08 release).
COMPONENT EXPLANATIONS:
- When we say "SAP SRM", generally we mean "the combined package of engines that were formerly sold as single components", including Strategic Sourcing, Bidding Engine, Auctions, MDM Catalog (only - not all MDM is included), etc. Legally, I cannot say "all SRM components" because the list may be changed periodically, but I cannot think of a particular exception either.
- SAP Document Builder is currently not sold separately.
- SAP NetWeaver Records and Case Management are not the ones used in CRM - these are the standard delivered apps for Records and Case Management with SAP, used to accomplish several PPS scenarios.
CLARIFICATIONS:
NOTE1: product PPS should NOT be referred to as "SAP Government Procurement", which is a retired product name. The term "Government Procurement" today only refers to the technical set of enhancements, and is an internal convention within SAP, so you won't see it referred to normally.
NOTE2: eSourcing is not the same as SRM. eSourcing is not part of PPS, and is not part of the license for PPS. We do not recommend a customer to buy both eSourcing and PPS, since they address different needs and pains. e.g., PPS should be considered when integration with ERP is important.
NOTE3: ERP 6.0 is required for PPS customers, but SRM 'core' does not have that dependency. It's too long to explain here, but suffice to say you wouldn't expect to be able to run an XBOX game on your 1986 Nintendo console. We cannot run most new PPS functionality on older ERP releases for much of the same reason: we have been building new functionality as quickly as NetWeaver gave us the tools to do so. If this stuff were easy it've been done by now - by SAP and our competitors.
However, rest assured ERP PRs (and SOs) can still start the process as well as SRM Shopping Carts and POs are replicated to ERP so follow-on GR/IR can be done in ERP.
Enhancements have been made to ERP 6.0 as well, including in the base release, and in EhP 3 and EhP 4 of ERP 6.0, which will be important with the Q4 08 PPS planned release, to enable signifcant new complex line item and pricing functionality and other features. And again - you can run Classic + Extended Classic using the Ext Classic BADI.
NOTE4: ERP 6.0 is not part of the PPS BOM and no ERP 6.0 rights are included. Customers must have Business Suite or other ERP user licenses in conjunction.
NOTE5: Customers with SRM licenses today may convert their license to PPS. This is done on a case-by-case basis, so SRM customers in Public Sector are not required to migrate or convert - contact your SAP AE for details if you need more information.
For more information, you can contact me at: FirstnamedotlastnameatSAPdotcom.
Rules prohibit me from typing the address into the answer, but I am the Field Services contact for partners in the Americas for this product so it's appropriate in this case to contact me directly.
Thanks to SDN regular Andreas Muno for sending me your Post so that I could respond.

Hi,
In plant Y, you have to maintain Spl.procurement key in material master. In MRP 2 view assign External procurement & spl.procurement kery 40.
In the plant X, create material master as inhouse production in MRP 2 view.
Have to maintain BOM & Routing in plant X.
Configure in SPRO> MRP> Planning> Define spl.procurement key.
In this assign Issue plant as X.
Run MRP for plant Y. System create Stock transport req in plant Y.
Convert this req into stock transport order.
In plant X, dependent req will create.
Use MB1B mvt type 301for single level stock transport.
For multi level stock transport use MB1B 303 - issue & 305 -receive mvt.

I dont know how to change it exactly.....as im beginner in SAP...pls take this into consideration...and post ur replies imm.
Pls reply me in detail....will be rewarded at the end while closing this issue.
thanks & regards
sankar

Dear Sankarbabu,
IF there's no setting for Date Check in OS54 - Engineering Change Management
Control Data,then you can create a change number with past dates,and also to
use the same one for changing BOM.
Tell me one thing you are saying you want to use ECM.Was the earlier one
created without BOM was created without an ECN?
See already if you have created your BOM with an ECN,then remove the date
check setting which I have mentioned in OS54.
Now goto T code CC02 ,enter the Change number and give the valid from date as
01.10.2007.
After that check in CS03 whether this date(01.10.2007)is getting reflected or not.
I'm sure this will solve your problem.

Purchase Requisition for Order BOM components ?

Dear Members :
Can I generate purchase requisition for Order BOM components from VA01 ? Mine is TAQ - the header itm cat and TAE for sub-items (finished prod) . While navigating within Sales Order and branching to a particular component's shced. line - the pruch req col is blank. The schedule line cat for the sub-item is CT.
Could someone please explain the configuration steps I need to maintain for the above ? What I am expecting is when I save the Sales Order it should create Purch Req for the components which do not have enough stock.
Thanks
Atanu

Hi :
Thanks for your advice. Couple of things :
1. In my system in auto acc assignment, I already have consumption acc under posting key GBB. Now I am getting error in VA01 - which states that "The system was not able to determn a consumption acc for purchase order item with acc assignment" and also suggesting to address "GBB posting key". I made the following changes for CT :
    movt : 101
    order type : NB
    item cat : 0
    acc assignment cat : F/C
2. Obviously SAP is expecting a consumption GL acc, which though is there under GBB-AUF from my existing setup. For generating purch req this is strange becoz I haven't yet gone upto PO generation step nor released the supposed to be Purch Req. for BOM component - and this is before I save the Sales Order .
3. In spro->acc grouping for mov type; I don't see the following combination in SAP ie,
101(MvT) - B (MvT) - GBB (TEKey) - AUF. I need B instead of F which is already there and is for production order but the BOM comp has to be for PO but the combination is not there.
Do you think this could be the reason that SAP couldn't find the GL acc ?
4. Also my purpose was not just to raise a purch req every time the sales order is created for the BOM components - only if there is shortage in stock - but then again for CT once I assign the above, it doesn't allow to check the boxes like Availbility , Requrmnt etc. (??)
Am I clear and could you please suggest me what I am missing or doing wrong ? What movement type do you siggest to enter in CT fields.
Thanks so much for your time.

Alternative for WBS BOM

hello
In standard BOM for PP in T-code eg cs01 I can write alternative. But if I want to create WBS BOM with T-code cs71 I can't see such field for alternative. I checked in help.sap.com that alternative for WBS BOM are not used. I don't know why but there is not alternative filed in CS71.
So is there any other way to get alternatives for WBS BOM like modification, exit etc.
I checked SAP notes for this but I can't find.
Any help?

hello
Thank you for your answers.
I have business process where I need WBS alternative. Why? Because of history of changes. My client wants to have 2 versions of one WBS BOM. One for history only and second for operative work. After some changes in WBS BOM and finish the project my client wants to analyse historical version which is created when project starts and the last operative version of the same WBS BOM.
@Uddhab
>If we prepare two BOM for a single WBS and attach the same in the WBS, then 2 requirement will flow and there will additional >quantity in the production.
Yes, if we attach. I want to attach only one WBS BOM so I don't multiply quantity.

Procuring for 2 different Plants(Diff CoCd) in 1 PO

Gurus
I have extended a Material to 2 different plants belonging to 2 different Company Codes with a Centralized Purchasing Organization.
E.g I used CoCd 0001 and 1000 in standard SAP system and two plants, each from these CoCds. The mat I used is extended to both these plants. In the PO I used a Purch Organization (Not assigned to CoCd, but to both those plants) and 0001. It worked!
Plz lemme know...

For information on maintaining purchasing organizations, see the IMG activity Maintain purchasing organizations.
You have the following options:
You can assign a purchasing organization to one company code. This is company-specific purchasing.
You can assign a purchasing organization to no company code. This purchasing organization can then procure for all plants assigned to it, irrespective of the company code to which the plant belongs.
Since each plant must be assigned to a company code, the company code can be determined via the plant in each procurement transaction, even if the procuring purchasing organization is not assigned to a company code.
A purchasing organization must be assigned to one or more plants. This is plant-specific purchasing.
For more information, see the IMG activity Assign purchasing organization to plant.

LSMW Batch Input Recording for Create BOM

Dear All,
I want to do LSMW for Creating BOM using Batch Input Recording,
I know that i have to make 2 time Recording, first for the BOM Header and second for the BOM item
For the BOM header i have done it, but for the BOM item i got some trouble with the item number (POSNR),
when i run the LSMW, for the first item (item 0010) was success, but for the item 0020, it can't work and i got error
message " NO BATCH INPUT FOR SAPLCSDI 0150"
How is the recording step by step for BOM Item so the Item number can increase well?
Very need your help,
Regards,
Marufat

Hello Santosh,
Thanks for the reply,
I already check in SM35 where i also thought that the main problem is about adding the new item number,
but when i tried to do repeat recording, i can not find any entry for adding the line item, so the line item after 0010 cannot be input
Is there any solution?
Regards,
Marufat
