Project material Procurement

Hi,
Ours is a construction company.
We have different sites were actual activies are taking place.
since Sites keep varying once project is completed, we can not create plants site wise in SAP.
so all requirements comes from Projcet systems Module against which we procure material ( procurment against WBS)
sometimes we ask vendors to directly send materials to Sites or we may ask him to send material first to our central Store and then we transfer it to project sites as per requirement.
1) when we have to receive material at our store , we use plant AB01 in PO which is our physical plant  and we receive material against Project WBS.
2) When vendor has to supply directly to site, we use plant  AA01 in PO ( this is a virtual Plant not mapped to any project location) .we receive material in this plant and then issue to project from this plant.
This allows us to segregate us whether material is lying in our store or at project site. ( is material is shown in AB01 against WBS, then it is in our store and if shown in plant AA01 then its actual project site).
but this is causing us duplication of activities since if we have to trandsfer material from store to project site then we have to do plant to plant transfer first(AB01--> AA01) and then issue to  actual project from AA01.
Is there any way we can remove this virtual plant and we can still have visibility of stock at project sites.
Thanks
Manoj

If you manage stock for WBS, you always receive it in a storage location.
Is it possible that when you receive it the projects plant WBS it is not manged in stock, but rather consumed immediately? If so, the you can get rid of the projects plant, and instead use only your "real" plant, with "real' storage location.
Then have another permanent storage location for all projects (instead of the virtual plant), and use it in combination with WBS stock to have visibility on which site the stock is. Only limitation is that you have only one site related to one WBS.

  • Material procurement types

    hi friends,
    can any one tell me material procurement types

    Hello
    Check this document on Material Type:
    Use
    When the system determines the procurement element, it first asks whether procurement should take place via in-house production or external procurement.
    Prerequisites
    You have defined whether in-house production, external procurement or both are allowed for the material, in the material master record, in the Procurement type field. The procurement type is preset by the material type in Customizing for the material master.
    If necessary, you have defined more precisely how the in-house production or external procurement is to be carried out, in the material master (MRP 2 view), in the Special procurement field.
    You define special procurement keys in Customizing for MRP in the IMG activity Define special procurement type.
    Features
    Procurement Type
    If both in-house production and external procurement are defined for the material via the material type (indicator X in Procurement type field), then you can set the procurement type as follows:
    By overwriting the indicator in the material master
    By converting the planned order either into a production order or a purchase requisition
    By using quota arrangements, in that you define that a certain percentage of the material is to be procured via in-house production and the rest via external procurement (see Quota Arrangements).
    If you leave the indicator X for both procurement types in the material master record, and you have not maintained any quota arrangements, the system automatically switches to in-house production. The planned order therefore firstly creates planned orders, which you can then convert into production orders or purchase requisitions.
    Special Procurement Type
    The special procurement type is used to precisely define how in-house production and external procurement is to be carried out.
    Special Procurement for In-House Production
    For a phantom assembly
    Production in alternative plant
    Withdrawal from an alternative plant
    Direct production
    Special Procurement for External Procurement
    Consignment
    Subcontracting
    Stock transfer
    Direct Procurement

  • Direct material procurement in PDP scenario for classic mode

    Dear Gurus,
    We have configured classic scenario in our SRM 7.01 with backend system ECC 6.0 Enhpk 5.  We have PDP scenario for direct material as one of the requirement. The requirement generated in MRP in the ECC backend system will be sent to SRM SOCO for sourcing. Once the right source of supply is found, the follow-on purchase order needs to be created in the ECC backend system in direct material mode.
    However, the SAP SRM standard supports only indirect material procurement in PDP scneario for classic mode. How to enable the direct material procurement? Could you suggest any BAdi to be used here?
    Thanks and regards,
    Ranjan

    Hello,
    You need to activate the Bsdi 'ME_REQ_SOURCING_CUST' for transferring the purchase requisitions from ERP to SAP SRM.
    Some details about the method involved for the same are mentioned below :
    Mehtod : IF_EX_ME_REQ_SOURCE_CUST~ACTIVE
    ->when parameter CV_AUT_SOURCING is set to true, external sourcing (e.g. SRM system) is active in ERP system
    ->when parameter CV_EXT_RFX_IND is set to true, RFx can be created out of PR directly from ERP system using application CPPR
    ->when parameter CV_EXT_SC_IND is set to true, PR in ERP system will be transferred to SRM using application CPPR
    Method b. IF_EX_ME_REQ_SOURCE_CUST~CHECK_EXTERNAL_SOURCE
    Here you need to maintain the logic / condition for which PR has to be transfered to SOCO.
    Example
    IF ( is_req_item-ekgrp = 'SRM' AND is_req_item-matkl = '100' )
    cv_ext_sourcing = cl_mmpur_constants=>yes.
    ENDIF.
    When this BADI is active whenever you save a PR with say the purchasing group as SRM and material group is 100 (as per sample code above), system automatically triggers the PR transfer from ERP to SRM by xml's.

    1. While creation of PO for such cases maintain the u201CZerou201D tax code u2013 usually V0.and GR based IV is ticked.
    2. While doing GR through MIGO, enter the actual Excise duty & Education Cess in the respective cells of Excise Tab in Item details. Also ensure to change the Base value to PO value u2013 (BED+Ecess)
    3. In the Excise Header Tab maintain Excise Invoice No. and Date & click on the icon for MRP tick.
    Check on MRP Indicator. This check ensures that the value going on inventory is after deducting the Excise Duty & ECess.
    4.In MIRO Screen, change the Amount to the Base Amount.
    Ensure that the Calculate tax Indicator is checked and the value populated in Tax Amount is = ED maintained in GR + Ecess maintained in GR + Vat maintained in PO(thru Condition record)

  • 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,

  • DIRECT MATERIAL PROCUREMENT and INDIRECT MATERIAL PROCUREMENT

    please explain , what is the differance between DIRECT MATERIAL PROCUREMENT and INDIRECT MATERIAL PROCUREMENT.please explain with example.

    source: http://www.ftpress.com/articles/article.aspx?p=24168
    Procurement materials can be broken down into two major categories: indirect and direct.
    u2022
    Indirect procurement involves any commodity or service that a company buys that does not result directly in finished goods.
    u2022
    Indirect procurement can be divided into two groups: ORM (Operations Resource Management) materials such as office products and travel services, and MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations) materials such as replacement parts.
    u2022
    Direct procurement involves materials purchased for use in the manufacturing or distribution supply chain that are "directly" related to the production of finished goods.

  • Material procurement as Project stock

    Hi,
    I have assigned a Non Stock Material (N) to WBS activity ---> converted the PR (created for network) to PO --> now i want to do GR for this PO and update the material recieved as Project stock on the correspondign WBS.
    I am using movement type 501Q when doing GR, and i expect that the corresponding WBS should automatically be populated or i should be able to add the WBS manually? but WBS field in MIGO screen when doing GR is greyed out?
    Any pointers to address this will be helpful?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    >>>>>>
    But now for one project i dont want to take material from store, but want the material to be supplied by supplier directly at project site, also i dont want to show the material supplied as directly consumed but want to show it first as WBS stock and then do GI to show consumption? how can we achieve this??
    <<<<<<<
    If you are intended to ship directly to site, then change procurement scenario as Drop shipment. In that case material never see the warehouse, what I mean no GR. Hope this make sense.
    for other requirement, discuss with your WM guys who should have fictious GR for that material. In that case you have to use material account assignment as Q (project stock). the only thing is you are not physically bringing material into warehouse but still you have GR for that material.
    Why you want to follow suck kind of routing, directly use drop ship procurement scenario which makes your life easier without any risk. By doing this you encouraging some kind of malpractices in system where users may misuse.
    Any have its your call and take decision accordingly.

  • Project material requirements to consider plant stock first

    In some ERP systems, we have project specific BOMs and when the requirements are exploded and netted, the system first tries to see if the demand can be met from plant stock. If full or partial demand can be met from the plant stock, the system recommends a stock transfer order from general (plant) inventory to the project.
    Any unmet requirement generates a project specific 'mrp-planned' order (purchase or production recommendation). This way, the planners and financial can see what existing plant stock can be used for a project and they can use this info for financial planning. Once the planner determines that the existing plant stock is usable for the project, he/she can confirm and 'execute' the transfer order which prings the plant stock to the project stock. For engineering or technical reasons (single lot date code requirements) the planner can choose not to accept the stock transfer recommendation (either fully or partially) and manually create purchase recommendation to cover the quantity.
    I have read some posts here but it is not clear that IN SAP PS if the collective indicator is set (or not set), would one be able to see, either directly or indirectly, what plant stock is recommended to be transferred as project stock?
    Can the behavior of described ERP system be modeled?
    Thanks, experts.

    Hi,
    Please also try the following settings in Material Master to consider the item from plant stock ..
    View : MRP1
    MRP Type : PD
    Lot Size : MB

  • Project Stock Procurement and directly supplied at Site

    Hi,
    I am creating a project and there are few materials that though exist as stock item in the company/plant, but this is to be specially procured for this Project and also delivered directly at site.
