Procurement of services for fixing roller, which MM process to use?

Dear All
Have this problem:
1. Roller; procurement of service for fixing roller:
My senior MM consultant has suggested to use Standard Subcontracting process. However, the old roller service cost should not be added up to the u201Cnewu201D roller cost and it makes STandard Subconstracting immpossible.
Any suggestion?
Point will be given handsomely for any good suggestion.

Hi,
You may use the sub-contract process for procurement of Service of fixing the roller, in case of old roller service cost, you may just add an additional line with item category "D" for service charges.
You will do a 541 movement for the line item 1 and subsequent GR for hitting the consumption account.
You will do a Service entry for the line item 2
During MIRO, the vendor will be paid for both sub-contract charges and also the service changes
Trust this will resolve your issue

Procurement of Service

Hi,
Please provide the detailed information how procurement of service differs from the procurement of Materials.
Regards,

Hi Raksab,
there isnt too much difference in the 2 procurements,
in matrl proc. u must have a mtr (MM01)l, and on the other hand for proc of services u should have services master(AC03).
for material u should have info record (relation for a particular mtrl and a vendor with rates) and on the other hand u should have rates maintained for the services too (ML45).
now u go on for making PO
in mtrl Proc. u make a normal PO w/o accnt assignment cat and item cat.
where as in serv, proc. u u maintain the services with accnt asst cat and item cat (K & D respectively cld b "U" also in place of "K") since u can never stock the services, but u need to give a cost center or grp of cost centers(when "K" is used ) and G/L accnt i.e for the consumption, if u give "U" as accnt ***, cat then u can give cost centers in the latter stages. on the other hand u store the mtrl in the store so this is not needed there.
now at the time of recieving
u do MIGO for the mtrl where as on the other side u accept the services via ML81N.
then u do MIRO in both the cases u do MIRO based on the PO no,
this is the most basic cycle.
there there cld b many different ways of completing these 2 cycles....
Hope it helps,

Difference between std procurement and service procurement & advantages?

Dear Gurus,
what are the differences between standard procurement and service procurement &
advantages of External services management?
Thanks...

hi,
In std procurement we procure materials while in the service procurement we procure services...sap has given these two differently may be bacause while procuring the services you never know in advance that how much exact amount is req. just because you don't know for eg wether there is any req. of changing the parts, or general maintenence or anything else...
so due to this you use the value limits....
Advantage: As the services procured are not FIXED as in the std procurement, we do have flexibility for adding up the new services as per the req...
and as we provide the value limits, in the real time scenerio it doesnot cause any FI problem later...

Same vendor for Procurement and Services

Hi,
How to use the same vendor code for Both Procurement and External Services, to trigger different pricing procedures.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance,
njs.

Hi,
Pricing procedure for Procurement depends on :
1. Schema Groups: Vendor
2. Schema Groups for Purchasing Organizations
System will look for the combination for both the schema group.
Pricing procedure for External service depends on :
1. Document category -- e.g. - RFQ , Pr or PO
2. Document type --- NB , UB

Procuring complex services in SRM

Hi,
We are studying the possibilty of using SRM for complex services procurement. By complex services we mean hierachical structures, where you can have items and lines, that act like "sub-items" of the major service.
In a bid inviation, for instance, a supplier would then bid on the line items, and not on the item itself. The latter would only present the total value of the lines below it.
This is basically what MM offers for service structure.
However, as far as I know, SRM only deals with flat services, which means that such requirement represents major changes in the application, from shopping cart to service confirmation.
Has any of you ever come across a similar issue? If so, how was it handled?
Thanks and Regards,
Eduardo

Eduardo,
We have a similar requirement but have been informed that complex service specifications are not supported in SRM as of the latest SRM 5.0 release.

Service Procurement PO Issue in MM-SUS Scenario (SRM 7.0)

Hi Gurus,
We are facing issue while creating the service purchase order in MM-SUS scenario.
Creating the PO in ECC with Account Category "K" and Item Category "D". (PO should transfer through XML as in XI config v hv used proxies for both ECC & SRM,when creating PO xml not generated in SXI_MONITOR. what is the config required in ECC to generate the XML)
What is the Process of service entry sheet.
Regards
Satish

Note 868192 - Consulting solution: MM-SRV-SUS service procurement
A service entry in SUS is transferred to the R/3 system or ERP system using an IDoc after you submit the entry screen. Service entry sheets are created there and they are then available for release. You can perform the service entry in a number of ways:
Service entry of planned services: you can confirm planned services in the service entry in SUS. An overdelivery may occur if quantities are still open.
Service entry using time recording: planned services, for which a time recording is useful, can be split up. Time recording by the hour or by the day is possible.
Service entry for limits: You can use the free-text entry of new items and also the OCI-enabled catalogs to implement limits.

Issue in Service Procurement

Hi
We want to procure advertisement services. The requirement is that in PR, PO, Service Entry and Invoice Verification, system should not check for quanity but only for value. Based on the Value only, Invoice verification should happen.
Regards
Sanil

Yes,
It will take qty 1 and AU at item overview line. At item details - Services tab - you can maintain all services to be carried out for completion of the item over view activity. Qty and rate can be maintained for each activity at services tab.
For ur "advertisement services" activity -
at item overview - advertisement services - Qty 1 - UoM AU
at Item detail - Services tab -
Advt activity 1 - Qty 10 - Rate/Gross price 10000.00
And now you can make SES against activity "advt Activity" in ML81N. Choose appropriate qty while oing SES.
If u dont want maintain Activites at Services tab - then maintain total price for "Advt Services" at Item detai "Limits" tab. and in ML81N as per ur billing at "Advt Activity" with qty 1 and value 10000.00.

Info on Service procurement and Material procurement in Purchasing

hi
we are dealing with a purchase register for services report and a purchase register for material report.
Can anyone explain in detail about material procurement and service procurement in MM and
what are all the documents created/ involved in the flow and explain the relationships between these documents ( between PO & GRN&INVOICE like i,e 1:m or 1:1)?
1. PURCHASING - MATERIAL PROCUREMENT
PO->GRN->INVOICE.
2.PURCHASING - SERVICE PROCUREMENT
PO->_?_-> INVOICE.
And differences between material and service procurement.

Hi,
Material POs.
One PO, Item can have many GRN Items.
One GRN Item can have multiple Invoice items.
This is same for services as well.
In Services, the equivalent of GRN is acceptance of the service entry sheets.
Thanks,
Krishnan

Procurement of external services in production orders

Dear Sirs,
We need to procure external service in production order as is done in maintenance order using a control key like PM03, it means, we need to create, automatically, purchase requisition with item category D (service). Therefore transaction COR1 (production order creation) doesn't allow to use any kind of control key which has T430-SERVICE flagged.
Do you have any idea how to solve this?
Best Regards,
Carlos Daniel

Please update the control key that you are using for this activity under -
IMG>Production>Capacity Requirements Planning>Routing data>Define control key
Here, you have to flag the check box " Schedule Ext. Operation" & maintain the " Ext Processing indicator"
Thanx!!

Procurement of external services

Hi All,
I want to procure external services for my Project. Also i need the option to check quality for the services performed. How to use the QM View in DIEN Material Master.
When to use DIEN Material master & Service Master
Need step by step procedure for complete cycle.
Regards,
Baskar

Hi,
Material type DIEN is used for when you offer "SERVICE" to your customer.( The steps are (VA01,VF01,VF04,F-28), If u used HR module( you can used with sales order with t.codes are: CAT2,CATS_APPR_LITE,CAT7,PR05,PRRW,PRFI)
Service Master records(AC01)[ESM] is used when you procure "SERVICE" from your vendor.( Steps are: ME21N with Item Cat. "D" with Acc. ***. Cat. "K" or "C", ML81N,MIRO & F-53).
Note:Standard DIEN material type designed for Sales usage only , but you can use DIEN for Purchase also to avoid External Services Management.
Note-2: As Service is an intangible material,since services cannot be stored, a material master record of this material type does not contain inventory data or inventory management data. To map in SAP, when you procure service from ur vendor, we do maintain Service master and create purchase order to vendor mentioning Cost Object and Item Category (D). Service Master records(AC01)ESM is used when you procure "SERVICE" from your vendor.( Steps are: ME21N with Item Cat. "D" with Acc. ***. Cat. "K" or "C", ML81N, MIRO & F-53).
