Purchase info record(PIR).

Hi Folks,
I have some questions regarding the archiving of purchase info records.
1. what are the functional dependencies that we need to check for before Archiving a PIR.
2.bold I was unable to Archive some Purchase info records even after it is marked as complete (LOEKZ = 'X') is there any other things that need to be cheked for deletion or there is any other dependencies??
Please let me know the possibilities to resolve the issue..

Hi
Purchase info record is a condition record which facilitates in defualting the Conditions & some Vendor & Plant Specific Data.
If you have already marked them from deletion, that means they are not in use.
That means you can archive them.
Inforecords with category Consignment, pipeline need to be checked , as from these inforecords only the prices are picked.
If these donot exits then you will not be able to create the PO's,Please ensure that.
apart from that you can archive the PIR's flagged for deletion
Thanks & Regards

  • Customizing the Enjoy PO document overview for Purchase Info Records (PIR)

    Greetings!
    I am looking to use purchase info records to store material pricing information but we donu2019t want to lose the document overview functionality that SAP delivers with the enjoy PO screens (ME21n, ME22n, ME23n).
    Has anyone had success implementing user exit MEQUERY1 to customize the document overview so that a purchase info record query can be added to the document overview & the attributes of the purchase info record can be copied over to the PO?
    Iu2019d be curious to know what solutions other SAP shops came up with.
    Thanks.

    Nick,
    Thanks for the reply.  We will have the source list generated for the purchase info records (PIRs) however the gap I'm looking to solve for is mainly for non-MRP material buys. 
    Our current business situation allows material handlers to run a query in the document overview to ID specific materials on a purchasing contract (aka outline agreement) and drag those materials to the shopping cart on the PO.  This provides a very easy process for the buyer to ID materials & supplier relationships.
    Since we are moving away from purchasing contracts we want to continue with the same drag and drop process but only allow PIR's to be selected in the query.
    Looks like in OSS note 377180 SAP provides a user exit to implement this functionality (via MEQUERY1)- I'm just wondering if anyone has had success adding a PIR query to the document overview and creating POu2019s with reference to that query.
    Thanks.

    Could you please provide any sample code / function module to update the pricing condition in PIR.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Dear Shivakumar,
    Can you kindly provide sample code for the function module MASS_CHANGE_PURINFO_REC? I found it is difficult to figure out how to populate the import parameters. And the Where-used function didn't return any result, so I can't even refer to the standard program. Thank you!

  • Purchase info record is not showing in po.

    Hi all,
    while creating purchase order i m giving purchase info record no but values from info record
    is not updating in purchase order.plz help.
    best regards.

    Hi Nissinha,
    There are so many ways to be analysed for the cause. Because PIR -Purchase info record:
    Please check in order of priority while diagnosing and finding for the solution:
    1. Check wether the PIR is created for the Vendor of that perticular material or not.
    2. Check for the validity (valid upto which date) mentioned in the PIR
    3. Check for the type of Info record (based on Item category) it is such as Standard, Sub contracting, etc
    Hope it clarifies

  • PO type UB is pulling in a Purchase Info Record - should this happen?

    Hi All,
    I've been looking around the net few a few days, off and on, but I can't find an answer.
    A colleague has created a Purchase Order type UB but it is bringing in a Purchase Info Records that relates to a different receiving plant. This is bringing an incorrect tax code into play.
    The work around is currently as follows
    Go into the (incorrect) PIR that is being engaged
    Remove the tax code
    Process the PO
    Go back into the PIR and change the tax code back to it's original setting,
    Am I correct in assuming that PIRs are not engaged in a UB transfer?
    What should be done to stop this from happening
    Apologies if this is obvious or if I have not given enough info.
    Cheers
    Colm

    I know that I need info records for UB order  if I work with APO.
    Are you sure that the inforecord that is pulled is for a different receiving plant?
    Is the info record really created at plant level, or only at purchasing org level?
    And both plants share the same purchasing org?

  • Mass Creation of Material Group Purchase info record

    Dear All
    Currently we are developing a custom transaction in SAP to mass upload Purchase Info records from a flat file (excel)
    We are using the standard Function Module ME_POST_INFORECORD to create the PIR s
    We use two different number ranges for Material and Material Group PIR s. This is set up already in SPRO>MM>PIR>Define Number Ranges
    Purchasing info record for stock material (Group - IL ) have a number range X
    Purchasing info record for material group (non-stock mat.)(Grpup -IN) have number range Y
    So when we create a Material PIR manually in SAP it picks X number range and  Y number range for Material Group PIR
    But when we create Material Groups PIR via the new custom transaction it creates PIR s with Number range X.
    Upon checking understood that the standard FM ME_POST_INFORECORD is always defaulting the Number Range Group as IL internally . Seems like a harcoding done by SAP
    Wanted to know
    - Is there any another FM we should consider while creating Material Group PIR s. Any other Function module provided by SAP for that ?
    - Or what can be other way to resolve this ?
    Please let me know your views on this.
    Regards
    Shyam

    Hi,
    For mass upload from flat files you can consider LSMW with different options e.g. IDoc:
    Message Type         INFREC
    Basic Type           INFRECMASS01
    or simply via recording of transaction (this should be using exactly the same NR as you have when doing this manually).

  • Error in CIF for Purchase Info Records

    Hi,
    I am trying to CIF Purchase Info record from R/3 to APO but its getting stuck during activation "generating delta Model".
    Can anyone please help in this regards, I have already read the link related to BD22 but which message type do we need to delete. Also what can be the other reason.
    I have CIFed Plant, material, vendor in the same sequence also I have extended material to vendor manually in APO.
    I have one more issue the vendor code 1000000 in R/3 is getting create as 0001000000 in APO can this cause a problem
    Thanks,
    sanjog

    Hi Sanjog ,
    Iam not sure why you are looking at tcode BD22. It is not relevant to PIR transfer .
    Also to CIF the PIR for a material from R/3 to APO, it is not necessary that the material should exist in the vendor location in APO. (You need to create the material at vendor location only if it is required specifically for your business scenario).
    Now , to identify what is causing the problem , you have to check the inbound queue in APO and outbound queue in R/3. The tcodes are SMQ2 and SMQ1. You can also use the queue manager /n/sapapo/cq in APO . Check what the error message is and correct the master data in R/3 accordingly. Then delete all blocked queue entries (/sapapo/cq can be used ) and then run the PIR CIF activation again.
    Thanks

  • Purchase Info Record - Service

    Hi
    Purchase Info Record is for combination of vendor and material and it will populate the values while creating PO.
    Is that same for Service PO ?. Do we have Purchase Info Record for Service(Item Category-Service) PO .
    Thanks

    hi,
    Sorry, yes there is no direct info catagory available for the same in ME11..(I have jus misunderstood)...The info cat. available is only for the std, subcontracting , pipeline and consignment...
    But while creating a PIR you can refer the quotation maintained for the services, by using the Porg 2 data tab...Here you can enter the quotation number and can make the info record...
    Pls check...
    Hope it helps..

  • Purchase Info Record (CIF Error)

    I am trying to CIF Purchase info records to APO.
    But the purchase info records are not ciffed to APO.
    I am getting below.
      Location XXX does not exist
      Procurement relationship not created for 3(Purchase info Record Category) XXXXXXXXXX(Purchasing info record Number) XXXX(Purchasing                   Organisation) XXXX(Location).
    Kindly help on this,
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Ravi Sagar Chennu

    Ravi,
    Either the destination location does not exist in APO, or the source location does not exist.
    You can usually prevent the source location from causing a problem by selecting the checkbox "Include dependent vendors and issuing plants" in your PIR Integration model.  Sometimes, though, you have to first send these across in a separate IM.

  • Purchase Info Record - Creation

    Hi,
    I want to create a Purchase Info Record. I came to know that, the following FM's are used for creating a Purchase Info Record.
    ME_INITIALIZE_INFORECORD
    ME_DIRECT_INPUT_INFORECORD
    ME_POST_INFORECORD
    The following are my questions....
    Is there any other FM's available for creating a Purchase Info Record. I want to test these FM's in SE37. Can anyone guide me with the minimum parameters required to run these FM's in SE37. How can I find the info record number created using these FM's.I mean to say.. there are no output parameters available in these FM's to know whether the PIR creation is success/wrong.
    I request everyone to help me with your answers.
    Many thanks !

    Hi,
    I am using the following information to execute the function module ME_DIRECT_INPUT_INFORECORD.
    Material : 123
    Material Group: 12164400
    Vendor Account Number: 100015
    Purchase Order Unit of Measure: PC
    Purchase Organization: 460
    Purchasing Group: 100
    Currency Key: DKK
    Plant: 316
    I get the error 'Please adjust conversion factors in conditions'.
    I do not know the root cause for this error. Can anyone guide me to solve this error? Have I missed any mandatory fields required to run the above mentioned FM?
    Kindly help. Many thanks.

  • Delete Purchase Info Records

    Hi,
      I have done some modification in the Pricing condition type.
    When I create PO the condition type is appearing correctly
    But, if there is info records existing for this Vendor Material combination, then the condition types from Last PO are fetched.
    This should  not happen.
    It is difficult to explain to large number of usre to delete the PIR while cretion of Purchase Order OR to carry out new pricing.
    I am thinking of deleting all the Purchase Info records to resolve this issue.
    Is it the only solution..?what will be the Implications of deleting PIRs.
    Rajesh

    Hi,
    If the requirement is to prevent the picking of the condition from the last PO for the info record maintained for vendor-material combination, you can as well go to SPRO --> MM --> Purchasing --> Purchase Order --> Environment Data --> Define Default Value for Buyers --> Settings for Default Value
    Proce Adoption tab --> Select Do not copy conditions from last PO.
    assign the default value to the paramter tab for the user in the SU02 transaction.

  • Pricing schema for purchase info records

    hi guys!
    does anyone knows either SAP standard got function to define pricing schema for PIR? if yes, can you please tell me how to set it up step by step?
    Thanks a lot,
    crystal.

    Hi,
    there is no separate pricing schema for reading info records.
    When creating PO, the system first searches for a purchasing                
    info record with the combination of vendor/material at purchasing           
    organization/plant level. If there is no such info record, the system       
    then search at purchasing organization level. If there is no such           
    info record here either, you must enter it manually.                                                                               
    If the purchasing info record exist, then valid conditions have             
    priority during price determination. If an info record does not             
    contain any conditions or invalid conditions, the system read from          
    last purchasing document in the info record and then suggest the price      
    from here. The price determined in this way are default values that         
    can be changed by the buyer if necessary.                                                                               
    You can save useful quotation data for a material in purchasing             
    info record. The info record can be created automatically by                
    setting the info update indicator during quotation maintenance              
    in the item detail.                                                                               
    Please first check is there any valid info record exist for this            
    material/vendor. You can always create/change/view it manually              
    via Ta ME11/ME12/Me13.                                                      
    Please read also the notes 392988, 456691.

  • Purchasing info record for vendor's material number ONLY?

    Hello gurus,
    we have materials that must be ordered with refernce to a contract. We purchase these materials only from one vendor and exclusively using that contract (only one source of supply). We do need purchasing info records to store the vendor's material number.
    Now, the problem is that if we have one contract and a purchasing info record, the system interprets the PIR as a second dource of supply. So, when I create a new PO, the price is automatically taken from the PIR and not from the contract.
    Is it possible to create PIR's for the vendor's material number without creating a second soucre of supply?
    Thanks in advance
    Alicia
    PS: I do know that i can use order lists but that does not solve the problem when manually creating a new PO...

    why dont you maintain the vendors material number already in the contract item?
    why do you create an info record that has a different price than the contract?

  • Changing Purchase Info Record

    Hi,
    I've  a requirement to update a Purchase info record with a new condition. Can any one suggest me a bapi or a FM to update an existing PIR with new condition.
    I've tried FMs : ME_DIRECT_INPUT_INFORECORD and ME_DB_UPDATE_INFORECORDS but found out that these FMs and mass change transaction MEMASSIN are helpful for updating Purch org data. & general data.
    I'll appreciate any help in this regard.

    Experts,
    request your kind suggestions on this. the requirement is urgent.

  • Change of Purchasing Info Records

    Hi Team,
    I have a requirement to change some values in existing purchasing info records. I was looking for a BAPI or a Function Module to do this and performed a search in SE37, but could not find any. Does anyone know about a BAPI or Function Module by which I can maintain a Purch. Info record? Thanks for your time.

    If you are looking to have the users maintain the PIR data,  you don't really need programming to do mass maintenance of PIRs.   I have found that the MEMASSIN transaction is very helpful when changing PIRs in mass.  Maybe this will work for you.
