Purch.Req for STO

Dear Experts...
1. Can we have a Purchase Requisition for the STO? Our client based in Kochin has branches in other states like Delhi, Kolkata,
    Andhra etc..the sales requirement data collected from branches will be sent to Kochi head office, and Kochi will create Stock
   Transfer Order to transfer the Finished Goods to the requesting branch for sales..Here I want to know what document in SAP
   can be entered to proceed to STO ? (Like the case of conveting Purch Req to PO)
2. Our Client has 8 categories of finished products for eg. Spices, Soup mixtures, Seafood varieties etc, and in each of this
    catrgory they have many classifications, for eg. in Spices category they have cardamom mix, pepper-ginger mix etc, same is
    the case for other categories. For reporting, they want to capture the COSTING reports for each category. My question is,
    can these CATEGORIES be defined in the MATERIAL GROUP, so that can we generate reports based on the Material Group?
    What data is pulled from MM module for costing? when costing which price is taken? material master Avg Price or PO price of
   that GRN which is issued to the Production?
Please suggest some solutions
Suraj

Thanks for the reply...
Please give me some info on what data will be pulled from MM for Product Costing. I believe it is the price of the raw materials issued to production, depending on its value in PO. We are maintaining batches to manage the raw materials. Since we maintain the Moving Avg Price for valuation, there will be an average value in the material maste. In order to take the exact value for costing we use FIFO method, wherein the values will be pulled from the PO. Please correct me if Iam wrong and suggest the correct procedure.
regards
Suraj

Purchase Req For STO -In Third Party Scenario

Hi gurus,
Is it possible if i create a sales order a purchase requisition should be genarated. the normal third party PR we can not convert in to STO and account assignment catagory "M" is coming in PR but in case of STO Pur req. that is not require.
So is it possible ? if yes can any one plz tell me.
Rajendra

Hi
Use the following user exit to pass your required account assignment category to purchase requisition at the time of sales order creation.
USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_ME_REQ (include MV45AFZB)
With this user exit you can include additional fields for the following fields:
o EBAN (purchase requisition)
o EBKN (purchase requisition-account assignment)

Converting SNP Planned Order /Purch Req to Prod.Order/Purch.Order

Guys
What is the standard process to Convert the SNP Planned Order /Purch Req. into a Prod.Order/Purch.Order ?
Can the conversion indicator be set in APO for SNP Planned Order /Purch Req.and then transferred to R3 as Prod.Order/Purch.Order or can the convesrion of Planned Order /Purch Req to Prod.Order/Purch.Order can be done in R3 itself ?
I am not clear on how exactly this works. Would appreicate if you could provide me with the standard process and any config involved in the same such as Number Ranges and how to set the conversion indicator automatically through SNP planning runs ?
Thanks

When you set this indicator for a planned order or a purchase
requisition, the system automatically converts the order into a
Production order or purchase order after the transfer to the
connected SAP R/3 system.
The converted orders are then retransferred to the SAP APO system with a
different category; a purchase requisition with category BS-ANF becomes
a purchase order delivery schedule line with category BS-EIN.
Please check configuration setting in SPro for transfer setting to R/3.
1. Configure Transfer to OLTP Systems(SNP)
2.Maintain Global Parameters and Defaults(PPDS)
Also on R/3 side you can see it in MD04/MD07 collectively for a product . or individually on
MD13 : planned order

Not running MRP but has Purch Req with Sales Order as pegged reqmnt in AFS

Hello Gurus!
MRP run is activated in the Plant but we do not run MRP (no MRP batch job nor manual MRP). However, there are materials that have Purch Reqs with creation indicator as MRP showing pegged reqmnt from Sales Order even if Item category is the same.
My initial check shows that those materials with issue has MRP Indicator as BLANK(Multi-level, transaction dependent MRP) and those that do not generate Purch Req from SOs has N(No transaction-dependent MRP). However, transaction dependent MRP is not activated.
Can you provide areas where I should check/other probable cause of this?
Your valuable insights is deeply appreciated. Thanks!

Hello?
I just want to update how this was resolved.
I found out that MRP Indicator field in AFS MRP view for the materials with MRP generated Purch Reqs is maintained as BLANK(Multi-level, transaction dependent MRP) in AFS MRP view instead of N(No transaction-dependent MRP) but there is no transaction group maintained. So MRP run is triggered whenevert there is MRP relevant transactions performed.

Purchase Req for third party items on SO-where are required fields defined?

I have that issue where when a third party item is entered on a sales order, it goes on credit hold and when you release it, it tries to create a purch req but can't because of the required field - Val Price is not automatically filled in. I thought I could make the field not required by going to config and under purch
requistion>Define Screen layout at Doc level and changed the price and
unit option to optional instead of required but it still treats it like
a required entry. That config change only affected that field if creating a purch req from scratch, didn't affect if creating one from sales order third party item.
Thanks for any input!

Hi Mike,
Please contact to sd consultant regarding that.

BPM Alert Issue - P.O Created withour ref to Purch Req

Hi,
Has anyone else had any issues with the BPM alert "P.o's created without ref to a P.O";? It seems to be reporting incorrectly - it gives us sometimes P.O that were in fact created with ref to a purch req.
I've raised an OSS for this with Sap - although I'm still awaiting a response...Has anyone had the same issue described above?
Thanks,
K

Hi Kevin,
as already explained via another communication channel I think the collector is working perfectly fine. Be aware that, like most other Procurement collectors, we are checking on line item level and not only on document level. As your example shows ONLY line item 20 is created without PR reference. But your screenshot of the document itself shows line item 10 which is created with a PR reference and hence was not in our output list. Also a look in table EKPO shows that one item was created with reference and the other wasnu2019t.

BPM Alert - P.O created without purch req

Hi all,
I have an issue where my BPM alert "purchase order lines created without reference to a purch req" sometimes gives me a P.O that was creatd with ref to a P.O. I have raised an OSS note for SAP but I was wondering if anyone else had a similiar issueor if they have the same alert but it functions correctly?
Thanks,

MRP Generating Purchase Reqs for Materials Needed in 2013

Hi, all. We're running MRP and it's generating a massive amount of purchase requisitions (18,310 to be exact).
The following is a typical part setup:
Lot size = EX
Planned delivery time = 5 days
GR processing time = 2 days
Individual/collective requirements = 1
MRP profile = BTO
We have one existing sales order with a delivery date in 2014.
With a lead time of roughly a week, why is MRP generating purchase requisitions out into 2013 for this material??
Thanks!
Sarah

Sarah,
MRP Profile doesn't mean much to us, they are all created individually during each implementation, and they are all different. However, I will guess that BTO is some type of Make-to-order profile.
You mention 18K of PRs. Are these all being created in a single run, or is it possible that they may have been accumulating for a while? To find out, run MRP, but using the parameter for Planning mode 'Delete and Recreate planning data'. It will delete all the unfirmed PRs and then regenerate new ones based on the current situation. I will assume for the moment that all these 'future' PRs are unfirmed, please let me know if they are not.
Since it appears to be a MTO environment (if not, let me know) then you should be able to see in the planning segment which requirement (sales order) is driving the purchase reqs. Depending on your MRP type, this could give you understanding of why MRP is proposing so many PRs.
One thing that will generate a large number of purch reqs is an unrealistic value in Maximum Lot size (MRP1 page of material master). For instance, for a requirement of 1000 widgets, and a max lot size of , say, 2, it would generate 500 PRs for 2 widgets each.
If my suggestions don't help you, please specify MRP Type, Lot Size, max lot size, rounding value, Safety stock, reorder point, Strategy group, From these values we can begin to understand your problem a little better.

Reg : Billing Docs for STO

Dear Gurus,
i am doing STO Plants to Plants and also to Depots. But while doing BIlling (VF01) they are using the same document type for both the Transfers and Excise invoice is getting created. The cost is getting captured into the same account.But i want to differentiate between both the transfers.where can i differentiate between the both? Please advice what settings needs to be done.
Thanks in Advance,
Nambi.N

Hi,
Here we are considering manufacturing plant and depot both as plant only.
You want to differentiate the account based on the plant whether it may be plant or depot,
Add the field WERKS in the allowed field catalog for a/c determination
IMG>SD>Basic Func>A/c assign/Costing>Define Dependenciesof rev a/c det-->field catalog.Then,
1.Create a new condtion table Plant/A/c key(as per ur req) for the revenue a/c det---T.code = V/12.
2.Assign the new table number in the access sequence KOFI or KOFK.
3.In VKOA assign the G/L as per the plant.
Now the accounts will get posted along with the plant G/L's.

Gopal.

Make to Order for STO

Hi
In the production plant, instead of seeing Sales order as requirement, now I see the inter-company STO as requirement. Under normal sales order process, I can make this materials Make-to-order, strategy 20, but now if I do inter company STO, can I still remain strategy 20 and make the STO act like Sales order, to generate the production order as make-to-order and stock tie to the STO (previously sales order).
dannysao

Dannysao,
It is standard functionality for Stock Transport orders to be 'account assigned' when being managed under MTO planning strategies.
So, assume a case where Plant A is the manufacturing Plant, and Plant B is the destination plant. Assume a particular part is MTO in both plants. If you place a Sales Order 0000010 item 0010 in Plant B, and run MRP against this part in plant B, the resulting purchase req in plant B can be configured to be account assigned to the Sales order/Item 0000010 item 0010. When you convert to a STO, the STO can also be configured to be Account Assigned to this same SO/Item 0000010 item 0010 .
If this purchase req or STO is configured to source at Plant A, then the requirement on Plant as Is also account assigned to 0000010 item 0010. When MRP runs in Plant A, the resulting Planned order is account assigned to 0000010 item 0010. This ties the Planned order to the STO similarly to the way a Sales order against Plant A would be tied to the Planned order.
MTO Planned/Production orders by design are made to be linked to Sales requirements. In this way, the resulting product can be manufactured in a way that is tailor made for a specific customer requirement. It also offers built in methods to link the manufacturing costs directly to the SO, so that profitability can be narrowly analyzed. STOs offer you the ability to manufacture something as MTO in one plant, move it to another plant, and then ship it to the customer, all using MTO.
It is not clear to me what business requirement would be served by linking an MTO planned order to anything other than a Sales requirement.

Free goods master for STO or workaround to meet this requirement

Dear Gurus,
I use IS-retail and the situation we faced is we have got a deal from our vendor that if we buy article A will get article B for free. So we set a free goods master using condition type NR00. It work fine in purchase order we order to our vendor however when we create STO to distirbute product from our DC to store, there are no free goods concept in STO.
Does anyone have a solution for this issue or workaround for this?
we would like to have a subitem (Free goods item)pop up automatically when create STO from DC to store for the main article.
Is there a way to goods issue for sto with no cost for free goods article?
Regards
Mintoo

Dear Varun,
I already tried and found that In STO , The free goods indicator is disable (suppress) unlike in normal PO. There might be a reason for this. Do you any workaround on this?
Dear Venkat,
is there a way to use free goods master instead of using BOM. Our SD told that they need to change configuration to serve the sales set???

For STO with billing how to take material in plant stock without cancelling excise duty

Hi,
Please suggest for STO with billing how to take material back in plant stock without cancelling excise duty.
Scenario is
Material transffered from manufacturing plant to depot,material is in transit now, but due to some reason material calls back to manufacturing plant.
Since the excise invoice is raised and material move out of factory client can not cancel excise invoice from legal point of view & client has to pay excise duty for the material movement.
Please suggest how to take back goods to manufacturing plant without cancelling excise invoice.
We have suggested client as there is no provision to take back goods to manufacturing plant without cancelling excise invoice
and to take back material to manufacturing plant stock they have to cancel excise invoice and other related documents.
But client is asking for another options.So requesting you to please suggest any alternative ways for same.
Thanks,
Amit

client can not cancel excise invoice from legal point of view & client has to pay excise duty for the material movement
I don't think, there is a statutory rule which says, manufacturer should not cancel the excise invoice generated on their Depot plant. Justification can very well be given to Excise authorities and hence, ask your client to follow the normal process by treating this as Depot returns.

The current ABAP program "SAPLV05I" had to be terminated because it has

These Kind of Errors Generally Occor for the wrong maitnaince of the partner functions. If you are using any user exits to detremine the partner functions. check the logic in that routine.
Because we do frequently get this error, but only if we hae not maintained as per the rule written in the user exit..
The USer exits for partner Determiantion to check is Function Module EXIT_SAPLV09A_003. THis gets activated, if you have give the source parner function as "X/Y/Z" in your partenr determiantion procedures.

Delivery Split during creation of delivery for STO

While creating a delivery for STO, delivery is being created for individual line items. On analysis of VL 033 message, I found that the delivery split is happening because of Function SH: Unloading Point.
The message is
<i>"delivery split due to conflicting header data (Function SH: Unloading Point: <-> UP0065)"
Item 000020 cannot be shipped in the same delivery with the other items in the document because the header data (Function SH: Unloading Point) is different. The Function SH: Unloading Point item field has the value UP0065, but in the delivery checked for concatenation it has the value .</i>
This unloading point has been maintained in the customer master data (and needs to be maintained).
I have also been told by my Basis consultant that note 842704 is not valid.
Why is this happening and how to prevent it.
Lakshman

Sorry... but I could not see either the delivering point or the unloading point in the material sales: general / plant view. Those fields are not visible on the screen. I could also not find them in the config (I was checking if they are suppressed).

Lakshman
