Procurement of stationery items

Dear Guru's,
If we want to purchase some stationery items, then which one is the best practice to follow ?
Do u suggest me to maintain mmr for all the materials ? or something else, pls suggest
regds,
CB

Hi CB,
As per my view,
Create Material master for stationery items with UNBW(As Non valuated material) material type.
Create Purchase Requisition with ME51N.
Create Purchase Order - ME21N.
MIGO - Good receipt.(At the time of Good Receipt only stock is updated for material not value)
Then MIRO for Invoice receipt against your purchase order.
Then whenever you want to issue material to person, Create MIGO >> Good Issue >> Other.
Note: - You can create different valuation class, material group for stationery material for report purpose.

  • 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.

  • Re: Procurement of Parent item & Child item

    Dear Friends,
    I have a scenario, for Parent item & child item
    client is procuring a parent  material as Set, this comprises of child materials
    we have maintained material codes for Parent material and Child material
    For ex:
         Parent Material : XYZ
    Child MateriaL 1    : X
    Child MateriaL 2    : Y
    Child MateriaL 3    : Z
    maintained MAP in parent material as well as child material as below
    Child MateriaL 1    : X   100 Rs
    Child MateriaL 2    : Y   150 Rs
    Child MateriaL 3    : Z    200 Rs
    Total                              450
    Parent Material : XYZ = 450 ( the total of child materials is equal to Parent material)
    here is my query
    I raise PO for main material and GRN will done for material, and deplete the stock of main material through 201 and update the child materil through 202 mov type. so that stock will update accordingly
    but  when i Procures for main material for market price 600 Rs, it has to distribute apportionately to the child components but here the child material value updates based on the Old map but not updated MAP,
    Please guide how can i achieve this functionality in MM
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    In your case of doing 201 to deplete the parent material and then doing the 202 to increase the stock of child materials, there is no linking between the two. So there will not be any change in the MAP of child material. It will always take the MAP while increasing the stock.
    The business requirement need come redefining. Do your client buy the Parent material as a set and dismantle it to individual child items?
    If that is the case, the best method to achieve this is through a production BOM. You have to create a BOM and routing and create a production order with negative qty for child items and once you confirm this order, the parent item will be consumed and child item will be increased in stock.
    Search the forum for more details about this.

  • Asset procurement & Non stock item procurement

    Hi,
    I want to procure Asset items. For that do i need to maintain asset master & material master both. Than create Purchase order with AAC as A. Will the PO be framework order or standard PO?Can anyone pls let me know the steps
    Also for non stock items do i have to do GR. In that case the goods are coming to stock as i have to give storage location during migo. What is the procedure?

    Hi,
    For procuring Assets, you will have to maintain Asset master & material master both in your system. You place a PO for the material (which you define as your asset & want to capitalize) & maintain AAC as A- Asset. Then at the item level, you assign the asset code to the masterial. After you post the GRN, the debit entries are posted to the asset.
    You have to post the GR for non stock items as well as stock items. The non stock item will be consumed dirctly to the acount assignment you have mentioned. For stock item, the inventory posting will be done. For stock item, the storage location will flow from the PO (if mentioned) otherwise you will have to post it yourself at MIGO in tab 'Where' at Storage Location'.

  • PO for stationery items

    Dear Gurus
    Kindly brief me about making the PO for items such as Stationeries or other items for which there will not be Material Master. I know we should make the Account Assignment 'K and we have to assign the proper account assignment. Here we have one field called ORDER in the acc assignment tab, what it is? Does it affect the g/l account?
    Secondly when we just enter the text (becoz no material master) can we make the GRN for this PO?
    OR guide

    Hi,
    The use of blanket purchase orders (item category B) enables you to procure a variety of consumable materials or services from a vendor up to a predefined value limit.
    Please check this link:

    If u enter the text in PO u have to maintain the account assignment category and u have to maintain the G/L account.Then do the GRN. System will always allow u to post the GRN if u maintained proper account assignment

  • 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

  • Opening stationery items creates duplicate copy

    Hi: We moved from OS X Server 10.3.x to Leopard Server and since then I have noticed the reoccurrence of a problem we used to have in the early days of 10.3 Server, namely that when a client machine opens a document designated 'stationery pad' status, it actually creates a duplicate and opens that. As a consequence our server is becoming cluttered with duplicate items of stationery.
    Am I alone in this or have others had the same experience and if so, what was the fix?
    Thanks,

    Tried, didn't work. Have a look at this file:
    http://sharesend.com/wuchbzq0
    It has a rectangle in it's master page. When I override it. It creates a copy on top. Didn't notice it at first until I resized and moved it. The not-overridden version was still present. Positioned like it is in the master page and locked on the first page so it can be overridden once more.
    When I move it in the master page, resize it, remove the effect, drag it more to the left... al these things help. When I then override it on page 1, no copy is made. When I reposition it at that location or further to the right, when I give it the same dimension again or lager... then I get the duplicates again.
    Can you try it? Overriding the object on page one and moving it to the left? To see whether the master page item is still present which can be overridden once more so there are two objects (and again the master page item intact)?

  • 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.

  • BOM where-used list with Phantom item ( Special procurement ) - ALV grid

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a request with tcode CS15 when we use alv-grid.
    We have a component with phantom item indicator because we use the special procurement type 50.
    When we run the transaction we don't use the variable list but we use the alv-grid.
    I change the layout but we haven't the field "Special procurement" or "Phantom item" in the column set
    Thanks in advance
    Marco Ferrari

    dear friend
    you could build a query (t-code SQ01) and make visible any relevant fields.
    before run SQ02 and create an info-set based on a standard logical databse CMC.
    you even do not need an abaper. just try yourself. play in DEV system
    good luck.

  • Advance Procurement through Sale Order

    Dear All,
    I required detail infromation pertaining to advance procurement of ROH items against sale order. If manual Purchase requisitions are being created by assigning sale order as account assignment, exception-20 is coming. I also like to inform project system is n't used. Your earliest reply is highly appreciable.
    Thank you in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Ranjan

    Dear Biplap,
    Exception Message 20 is Cancel process, meaning the system is directing the relevant person to delete the requirement in order to avoid excess inventory. 
    This is bound to come, since u have not run MRP but you are manually procuring the material.  This need not be a point of concern as long as u are aware that the material and qty in consideration is what u require.  Once u run the mrp at a later date, the exception message will change based on the planning results.
    The exceptional messages will not stop you in any of your transaction but it is only a message for the MRP controller to take corrective action, if need be.

  • GR/IR CLEARING ACCOUNT FOR NON STOCK CONSUMPTION ITEMS

    SAP EXPERTS,
    Following the scenario..
    1.PO raised for non stock consumption item for   acct asigned to say a cost center/order
    2.The G/L account on the consumption is OK
    3.When I post GR for the PO Item (non stock consumption ), system is autoposting default the  GR/IR Services G/L account  ie the same G/L account (GR/IR Services ) that is posted when a SES is approved for the Services PO
    3.Pl. note the Item category  I have used is Std.(blank) for the PO raised for non stock consumption item .
    My concern:
    1.Is this system default behaviuor??
    2.i e system will auto post at the time of GR , to the same G/L account (GR/IR Services) for both the consumption item (non stock item procured for cost center/order..via material PO .). and the services PO (for services procured via Services Item category 'D').???
    Pl. help suggest.Matter most urgent!!
    Thanks,
    Ranganath Krishna

    Hi,
    Please check up if there is any default value at the plant level;in case of such default,the system will post to the GL Account defaulted,not with standing the "standard item category".Better checkup if any cost center /order has been assigned.
    The GL item is defaulted thro'the item category.If both the goods and services have been defaulted to the same GL  Account,then not with standing the type [ie] whether goods or services,the system will post tot he same GL Acct.
    Hope this helps.

  • Change item categories purchasing

    Hello,
    I found thread 1582236 via google. It nicely explains how to get the "invoice receipt" flag out of the purchase order by default (text below). I tried to change the customizing like described via IMG path:
    Materials Management>Purchasing>Define External Representation of item catagories>0/Standard
    But for me this customizing for "Define External Representation of Item Categories" is all in grey. I am not able to add new items categories or to change the existing ones.
    So can it be, that it is not possible to change item cats attributes ("Define External Representation of Item Categories") for purchase orders, or can someone confirm that it is changeable?
    Thanks
    Hi Ashish,
    Basically when you talk about procurement, it is always chargeable (that means purchasing of materials or services mostly purchased at a certain price. That means when it is chargeable, defnetly there must be invoice (accounts payable to vendor) for that perticular item (that can be for material or a service) in the purchase order.
    In above, case the Invoice Receipt Indicator is set (indicator set automatically) in the Invoice Tab of the Item details in the PO. And that specifies whether an invoice receipt is linked to the purchase order item.
    Note: If the Invoice indicator is not set, the means goods are to be delivered free of charge.
    And the above is based on the default configuration that is available in the system, but it can be customized as per your specifications, is as follows:
    Steps for that configuration setup:
    --> Display IMG (SPRO)
    --> Materials Management
    --> Purchasing
    --> Define External Representation of item catagories (click it)
    --> Here you can set the IR indicator depending on the type of procurement for the Item catageory (lie, std, thridparty,etc)
    --> click it, by choosing the required combination of item cat(internal) : item cat(external)
    and, in the control: invoice receipt
    set the Invoice Receipt (this is only an indicator and it specifies that the PO item is chargeable and is to be invoiced. But it can be changeable (remove or set the flag) by user (when the item is delivered free of cost), it is just a link for PO item.
    And there is one more indicator IR indicator firm.
    there are TWO options:
    --> firm in PO (if you set this indicator, user can not change while creating or changing the PO)
    --> changeable in PO (if this indicator is set, it can be changeable if requires at the time of creation or change of PO through ME21N /ME22N)
    And also
    --> Display IMG (SPRO)
    --> Materials Management
    --> Purchasing
    --> Maintain account assignment categories (click it)
    And here, also you can set the same by choosing your required /specific account assignment categories combination.
    Note: If you set the Invoice Receipt indicator in the CONFIGURATION (that is in Display IMG) and this will effect to the entire process for all users. So, please goahead by keeping all these things in your mind and in concern with the team.
    Hope it clarifies you,
    Regards,
    Srin

    yes I can confirm what JouLes wrote. But you can only change what I told you before.
    if you can do customizing on anything else, then you should be able to do it here too, there is no authorization object for a specific IMG area or knot. either you have authorization for customizing or not.
    Are you in a developement client? In production client it is not possible to do this customizing.
