Production order & purchase order

Hi
What is the difference b/w production order and purchase order can u briefly explain me about.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Production order is a type of manufacturing order which defines work center or resource is used to manufacture a material and which material components are required. It is a request asking production to manufacture a specific quatity of a material or perform a specific service on a specific date. It is userful for production planning.
Purchase order is a request for purchasing of specific or general material.
The basic difference between the two is production order is used for production planning and purchase order is used for material plannning. Basically any order is used for planning purpose only. YOu can set planned amounts and can calculate variances based on the orders.

Migrate Open items - Sales orders/ purchase orders and unbilled deliveries

Hello All
Can you please tell me the best practice to migrate open sales orders, purchase orders and deliveries due for billing at Cutover to the new system?
Also how can the historical data be migrated? What all comes under historical data?
Many Thanks
CM

The way the sales order data is migrated is largely dependent on the number of orders you are intending to migrate. 'Best practice' would suggest you do the following:
1) Do not migrate any completed orders (they should be kept as 'read only' in the legacy system)
2) Get the business to close as many orders as possible before the cutover
3) Stop entry of any new orders during the cutover the period - hold them back and enter them directly into SAP.
Once you have a manageable numebr of orders to migrate you really have two options:
Upload the basic order into SAP (we have usually done this from a spreadsheet using ALE or some similar tool). The basic data is confirmed to order type, order number, order date, customer number, material code and quantity. Any data in addition to this is then added manually to the system by the users e.g. pricing info (this is really important as pricing data is really difficult to map). To do this you will need to have sequenced this correctly e.g. ensuring that the data and config for both the materials and customers are all already in the system before you load the orders.
The second option would be to load them all completely manually - which is why I said at the beginning that really, the best approach is determined by the quantity of orders you need to migrate.
I am sure other people will have used other methods but these two are the ones we usually use.
(edit) P.S. you must remember that 'open' sales orders are any orders that are not yet billed so even if an order is delivered in your legacy system if it has not been invoiced you MAY need to migrate it. But as I metioned at the beginning - it would really be better to complete that order (i.e. bill it) before you close the legacy system so that it does not need to be migrated.
========
For deliveries - again, there is no simple fix for this. Because the migration of a delivery demands the migration of an open sales order, the best approach is probably to load the sales order basic data, get the users to complete the sales orders (as described above) and then run the delivery due lists or manually and individually deliver each sales order item.
You cannot migrate ONLY the deliveries, you need to migrate the preceeding order(s) as well. But, again, if you take the approach of closing as many as possible in the legacy system, it will be much easier than migrating them.

Database Design: Sales Order & Purchase Order

I found the inventory tables of the "Purchase Order" tables is very similar to the "Sales Order" tables. Is it logical to have a design such that PO and SO share the SAME table? (e.g. use a flag to determine
if it's SO / PO)
For example,
SALES ORDER
- sales_order
- sales_order_items
PURCHASE ORDER
- purchase_order
- purchase_order_items
ORDER <----- combine SALES ORDER & PURCHASE ORDER
- order
- order_items
Please help ~~

As suggested take a look at the following tables in AdventureWorks:
Sales.SalesOrderHeader
Sales.SalesOrderDetail
BOL:
Sales and Marketing Scenario
Purchasing.PurchaseOrderHeader
Purchasing.PurchaseOrderDetail
BOL:
Purchasing and Vendor Scenario

Returns of a stock transport order (purchase order)

Hello,
when I create a returns of a stock transporting order (purchase order) it touches only the free stock and not the stock of the returns (movement types 677 and 161). Can I configure this, if yes, how?
Perhaps anybody can help me. Thanks a lot.
Nicole

Hi,
The STO does not act like a sales order, if you reverse an STO it puts the stock back into Unrestricted use.
Basically it sees the whole process as just being a movement of stock from one area (plant) to another and so reversing it just puts it back.
With a sales order the customer may have used or abused the stock and so there is the functionality to put it into returns stock where it can be checked before being put back into unrestricted.
It may not work but have you tried using the quality inspection flag on the return (I am assuming that you are using a 102 / 122 and MIGO?). It is not the same as using returns stock but at least it gives you chance to inspect the stock before it goes back to unrestricted?

User can not se ordered purchase orders

Hi!
I have two users (test users) both with the user role SAP_BBP_STAL_PURCHASER. No changes has been made to their Business Partner.
They are allocated to different purchasing groups.
One of them can se all the ordered purchase orders in "Process Purchase order" but the otherone can not the ordered purchase orders.
What could be the problem?
Sincerely

Sales Order - Purchase Order using Production BOM?

Hi all,
We are experimenting moving over from Sales BOMs to Production BOMs to allow us to use P&P Manager properly.
One of the scenarios which is causing a problem is "back to back" ordering. At the moment, with our Sales BOMs, we can tick the "purchase orders" checkbox in the logistics tab, and generate Purchase Orders for our Sales Order (the system creates POs for all the child components in the Sales Order we choose).
When we have tested this with a Production BOM, we cannot seem to find a way to get the system to do anything similar (plus in this case, I guess create the relevant work order(s)).
Is there a way of achieving this?
Thanks
Raj

Hi Suda,
Thanks for your reply. After further thought, I realise that we will be unable to use the Production BOM and will have to stick to Sales BOM type for the forseeable future.
Thanks,
Raj

Sales order-Purchase order

Dear Friends,
Can any1 explain me the process or the cycle so that which triggers sales order and purchase order?.....the reason for this question is in one of the threads I read that purchase order will take reference as purchase requisition and purchase requisition will take SO as reference....then why in SO we declare PO no in the header?........probably there sud b a subtle reason which I cud not interpret.....Thanks in advance

Dear Saravanakumar
Think of this scenario
You are running a company Your plant manufactures some products and sells to your customer
Your customer X is ordering a product which you manufacture
For customer X it is purchase and he places a PO with us to get the product
For Us it is a sales
That is why in our sales order for this customer X we mention his purchase order no for reference which is what you had asked?
Suppose if the customer X ask for a product which is not manufactured by us and even then we can process this sales we procure these items from a third party vendor and sell to our customer
In this case upon receiving sales order from our customer system generates a PR and after some process PR is getting converted to PO to our vendor to process this sales
Hope it is getting clear to you now
Third party means we are not manufacturing the product we procure from a vendor who is actually a third person (logically) and sells
In Third party sales we receive the order from our customer
In Normal third party process vendor will supply goods to our customer and he will give us the invoice then we will bill our customer
In between us and our customer we are involving a vendor(third person) here to complete the sales process hence it is called third party sales

Work Order - Purchase Order

I am trying to find an standard report which gives me information on the Work Orders and related Purchase Orders.
Anything available or I will need to create one on my own?
Cheers!

Thanks for the answers and your time.
What I need is a report that pulls out the Purchase Orders that hasn't been released with information of their Work Orders. I couldn't find any report so far.

Link Sales Order & Purchase Order in Reports

Hi All,
We create all our Purchase Order's back-to-back to our Sales Orders. When we look at Row Details in a Sales Order we can see the linked Purchase Order, and vice versa.
Is it possible to run a Query that will show the list of Sales Orders (all the rows), and the linked Purchase Order number on each line?
This would make our life much easier when we use DTW to update the shipping dates in the Sales Order based on the dates we get from our supplier on the Purchase Order.
Best regards,
Myran

I think you can start with this query:
SELECT T0.DocNum 'Sales order',
T1.LineNum, T1.ItemCode, T1.Quantity, T1.ShipDate,
T2.DocNum 'Purchase order', T2.CardCode, T2.CardName
FROM ORDR T0
INNER JOIN RDR1 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry
Inner join OPOR T2 On T2.DocEntry=T1.PoTrgEntry

Hi Kishore,
Two things could have happened:
1) Since this is happening with only two customers - I am sure it has got to do with some custom code on your system which is causing this problem. I 'd suggest you to create a new order with all the fields
2) It could be a bug with SAP- might want to check relevant SAP Notes. ( But this could not be a reason, if yes should have had the same prob with all cusotmers)

Sales Order/ Purchase Order Approved option

Dear Friends,
In System Init-> Document Settings-> Per document tab page-> sales order and purchase order documents have PO Approved/ SO Approved options. When we keep these options unchecked then any SO or PO even if saved cannot be copied to delivery/grpo unless we select the same checkbox in SO/PO logistics tab.
My question is if I keep the options unchecked in document settings and then any SO/PO is created it will be unapproved. Please let me know if during authorization i can disable this option for the user and enable the option for the manager i.e the checkbox at logistics is disabled for the user and enabled for the approving manager. If yes please give me exact path in authorization window.
Edited by: Philip Eller on May 13, 2008 9:05 AM

Hi,
If you want to control the user from creating PO/ SO, then you can create Approval procedures to them. You can create Approval procedures giving any conditions.
As per my understanding, for your case, you need to control each and every document (ie., PO / SO documents creation). For that you can set Approval for these documents whenever they create.
For that Administration --> ApprovalProcedures --> Approval Templates
1. Enter the Approval Procedure Name and its Description.
2. Originator Tab : In this choose the user's name from which these documents will be created.
3. Documents tab: In this select the Document type to which you are setting the Approval procedure (ie., PO or SO)
4. Stages tab : Select the Approver name (Senior user name who approves the Document)
5. Terms Tab : If you want to set approval for every document then select "Always" option. If you generated query to set approve then select "When following Applies" option and link the query you have generated.
Now your Approval procedure will be set.

Internal Order - Purchase Order -Purchase Requisition

Hi,
Can anyone please help me out with understanding how costs are posted to an internal order from Purchase Order/Purchase Requsition? How to make commitments via PO/PR? And how is it settled onto an asset?
Sorry its too much to ask. If anyone can guide me to a document explaining this online somewhere.
Thanks,
M

Hi,
Whenever you assign your PO/PR items to be issued on internal order, you will see the posting on it. You will have to activate commitment management in CO (OKKP). After the GR/IR process is done, and the cost are on I/O, you can settle it to an asset. In order to do so, you have to define a settlement profile for order type, create a settlement rule in the order (KO02) and run the settlement (KO88/KO8G).

Eli
