Procurement of Long lead item for Projects

Hi Gurus,
I have a scenario where the main item required to execute the Project has a lead time of more than one year. The project is executed in 4-5 months period hence it is decided only at the start of the fiscal year. In such cases, the project will be created only after the fiscal year starts or just before that and the budget will be allocated only after the fiscal year started whereas the PO for material has to take place long before so that the item is received on time to execute the project. How to handle such cases ?
Thanks
Vinodh.

Hi,
What will happen if I maintain the "No Stock" indicator and raise PRs through activities ?
thanks in advance.

Advance Procurement /Long Lead item

Hi Experts,
We have some long delivery items in BOM for which we are trying advance procurement. We have maintained strategy 70, item category'L' in material master and attached the material to an activity which is 2 months prior to the scheduled production. We generated PR for this item and created PO however during the Project MRP run, system is generating PR again for this item. Please inform which are all the settings required to prevent the PR getting generated again during project MRP.
Any help on this issue is highly appreciated.
Points assured.
Best Regards
Afroz Ahmed

Hi Afroz,
Please maintain individual collective indicator in material master MRP-4 view of the long lead time material to
"2-collective. So that the system will consume the existing stock.
Thanks and regards

Lead time for POs

hello, I am new to this bog, but can anyone help me with a t-code for getting the lead time (planned delivery time) report i.e. how can we identify if a PO has materials with longer lead times for a set of purchasers/vendors ?

We experienced such a problem ... using only BEx functionalitites means (at the end) using Virtual KF ...
Considering the complexity calculation to be made this is a time consuming approach that has even an high response time (in terms on minutes ... depending on the amount of data)
During Data Load create two more technical KFs to store intermediate values of the formula (X^2 and a counter ...): this because of the fact that BEx formulas work AFTER Aggregation.
Hope it helps

No inquiry items and project assignment to sales order

Hi Friends?
I am using DP81 to create sales pricing but getting error message when entering project number that
No inquiry item exist for project
There are no inquiry items for project A1
Message no. VPK1111
Diagnosis
A project-assigned inquiry is a prerequisite for sales pricing.
To access sales pricing, choose Logistics or Accounting -> Project System -> Controlling -> Planning .
Procedure
Check your entries.
If required, create a customer inquiry and assign it to a WBS element for your project definition.
*Further we assign the the project in sales order via( VA01-->account assignment tab here we can assign the WBSE to sales order).*
Is there any other way to assign project to sales order?
Regards

The error message clearly states that you have not created any sales inquiry...You wanted to carry out sales pricing, for that you need an enquiry from customer...So first create inquiry in VA11, there you assign WBSE and then do DP81

Procurement as Stock Item Can it be used for Projects & Maintenance

Hi Experts,
I have new business requirement with respect to Stock Item.
We have two Material Types
1. ZPRJ - These stock items are exclusively used for Projects - further capitalization - Valuation Class & GL Account is different
2. ZRSA - These stock items are exclusively used for maintenance spares - Valuation class & GL Account is different
we received requirement for a material,
1. Procurement as Stock Item (Inventory) first and later use the same
1. Stock Item in Projects
2. Maintenance Purchase
is it possible in standard SAP the above requirement can be met,
Pl help
Thanks in advance
Srihari

Hi Srihari,
Any valuated material type can be purchased directly to consumption (project, maintenance, etc.) or first purchased to stock and then issued from stock charging the corresponding object (project, maintenance, etc.)
You purchase to consumption using a PO with account assignment category (AA categories K, Q and E are a bit special - there you purchase to stock, but special stock). You purchase to the (general use) stock using PO without AA category. The receipt (101) goes to stock (and stock account). Later when you want to use your material for a project, use trs MB1A (or MIGO with "goods issue" option) with mvt type 221 (or 261 if you don't use SAP PS system, but handle projects as "internal orders"). To issue material charging a PS "network", use mvt 281. To issue to PM order use mvt 261 and to issue charging a cost centre directly use mvt 201.
Hope this is clear.

Procure item for inventory in Shopping cart as Order as Direct Material

Hello Experts,
When i procure a an item for inventory click u201COrder as Direct Materialu201D and then the system would not ask for an account assignment,
1.) where i can do this setting
2.) the actual problem am facing is "SC is created but PO goes to status Saved and when i see PO i can see the error and this is "Backend error : enter account assignment category".
Please let me know on this....i hope this will also be a great learning for me towards a journey of become masters in SRM like all of you
Smriti

yes. for order as direct account assignment folder disappear.
Ordering a direct material means ordering a product that will be received into stock.
You have to press the Order as Direct Material button in the item detail view.
Selecting Order as Direct Material replaces the goods recipient with the plant you
are ordering for and removes the Account Assignment information. The plants and
storage locations are defined in the organizational structure in the extended attributes
Locations and Storage Locations. After ordering the material as a direct material, you
cannot change back to indirect; so, in case of a mistake, you have to delete this item.
If you have a valid and definite source of supply, such as a contract, this will be used.
Items without a source of supply will have to be completed by the purchaser in
sourcing transaction or in the worklist of incomplete purchase orders. The complete
purchase order will then be replicated to the back end system. Changes to the purchase
order is only possible in Enterprise Buyer, which is the leading system for this process.
Any changes made in Enterprise Buyer are transferred to the back end.

Procurement for Projects

Dear all
Could explain how the material procurement for projects happen? What's the difference between this and normal procurement?

HI
Its the same Only u wil have to use the Item category' P' for projects.which impies that the procurement is done against the said Projects.
Also this can be mapped with PS module where a central Project will be created. The project will be broken down in to no of Work break dowmn structures which will be assigned a cost element.
The total expenditure on each WBS will be determined using the WBS element.
The Item category of P as Account assignment category of P have to be used for the PO's. The corresponding WBS element and the G/L account has also to be entered at the item level.
Hope this helps.

Leading zero no longer showing up for hour in clock.

I know this is a nitpick, but the leading zero for the hour no longer shows up in the menu bar clock no matter what the settings are. Also there is no option to display the date in numeric form.

Hello Ben:
I had not noticed that before, but I do see what you mean.
I have not played with it, but take a look at system preferences>date & time and then click on +"open language & text."+ Perhaps that might be a way to have the display change. As I said, I have not played with it since I am OK with the current display.

How to download and upload long text for project, WBS , Network,

Hi all,
I have two isssues.
1) I am extracting Projects, WBS , Network , Network activity and network activity element from a SAP 4.7 system using bapi's
BAPI_PROJECTDEF_GETDETAIL
BAPI_PROJECT_GETINFO
BAPI_NETWORK_GETINFO
BAPI_BUS2054_GETDATA
I am able to get all the details except long text. I want to know how do i extract the long text other than getting it manually by using select_text and Read_text Function module, is there any bapi to achieve this.
The reason why i am not using Function modules Read_text and Write_text is, object name( TDNAME ) value stored in STXH table for project, wbs and network are the project, wbs and network itself so i dont have any issues with this but the TDname value for activity and activity element are completely different ( Routing number and counter is stored respectively ) which i am not getting as the part of the bapi(BAPI_NETWORK_GETINFO) output.
2) I have to upload the extracted Project and it sub object data to ECC 6.0 system , i am able to achieve this by using BAPI's BAPI_PROJECTDET_CREATE, BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN and BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN. I am not able to load the longtext for the same, is there any way to load the long text .
All help will be greatly appreciated and rewarded.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajanidhi Rajasekeran.

I don't think there is any BAPI to do it.
We are doing it by read_text & edit_text . required fields for text name can be fetched by following select
if not e_activity[] is initial.
    select aaufnr aaufpl baplzl bobjnr b~vornr
      into corresponding fields of table t_longtext
      from afko
        as a
    left join afvc
        as b
        on aaufpl = baufpl
       for all entries in e_activity
       where a~aufnr = e_activity-network
       and a~aufnr is not null.
endif.
      txtname = wa_longtext-objnr.
      replace c_nv in txtname with sy-mandt.

Line items for Capital investment project report

Hi guys,
any idea how may I report on the line items for CIP similar to the info I get via t-code CJIC but for multiple WBS elements with investment profile. Is it possible that I may find needed info based on the status of the line item?
Thanks and regards

Hi,
without Investment Profile you can not create AUC or main asset through Project.
its just only oneor two settings - only creation of Investment profile and its assignkent to project profile.
still if you dont want to go with this - then
Maintaiin settlement rule manually to FXA. in this FI person will create C- WIP ( AUC) by normal transaction (AS01). and will maintain in settlement rule- respective WBSE.

How to clear the open item for non-leading ledger?

Hi, Experts,
I have two valuation area VA001 and VA004 and two accouting principle GAAP and IFRS.
Then I assign VA001 to GAAP (post to leading ledger) and VA004 assgin to IFRS (Post to non-leading ledger "IF").
There are two ledger group ,one is 0L and the other is IF.
When i run TBB1, system generate 2 FI documentes.
Then I run F13E to clear the GL account, because some GL is open item management.
But only ledger 0L is cleared, the other non-leading ledger "IF" is not cleared.
I don't know is there any possiblity that system will clear open item for leading ledger and non-leading ledger together?
TKS a lot.

Hi Louise,
you do posting in TRM, but clearing is done in FI, so I moved the thread.

I would like to fix a bug, but I need to know the leading developer for Firefox sync. I need verification of a Mozilla dev for a class project prerequisite.

I found bug 859889 on Bugzilla, I would like to develop a patch for it. In my software development class, my professor asked us to get the permission of a leading developer for our project proposal. If you can direct me to such a developer, that would be great. The dev in question should also have access to Firefox Android's code base, as to apply the patch if completed and accepted.
The url to the bugzilla page is "https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=859889".

I guess that is you that has already posted [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=859889#c1 Bug 859889#c1]
Presumably you already have the C++ and other skills to tackle this. I suggest you look at and follow links from

Does that help ?

Lead time for Purchase items

I had read that Lead time for Purchased items is calculated per 7 working days / week, by default. However, when I checked this, I found that the MRP planned orders were always considering our mfg calendar that has 5 working days / week.
Anyone tried this.

Industries & Product which have stabilsed have the same measuring yard and standards. This is also applicable for calendar working days, otherwise we need to device the 'interface' because the results would be weird, specifically when we speak of 'supply chain'.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by erik anthonsen ([email protected]):
this is correct. it is up to individuals to change the amount of days that the company manufactures as their standard. if your facility is running 7 days a week-----use 7 days at setup<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
