Purchase Info Records in Costing

Hi,
Which info record it will pick if a material has more than one info record and each has purchase order attached.
the strategy in costing variant is to pick Purchase order price first. Since the material has two PIR and has two PO with different prices. I assume that it will pick the lower price...! how can we control the system to pick the info record which we need.
Thanks
Sivaram

For a combination of Vendor + Material + Plant + Purchasing Group, you can only have one PIR. What rate the system picks up depends on the material and the valuation strategy.
If you have more than one vendor supplying, you can create procurement alternatives and assign %s to the appropriate vendors.
Cheers.

Updation of purchase info record during cost is released / additive costs

Hi Gurus,
Is there any enhancement available to to update the purchase info record with thecondition type
fild during release of materials using CK40N /CK24.
ie Whenever a cost is released , the object should populate the overhead condition type (ZUB1) on the INFO record
Another requirement is
Whenever there is adding/updating additive costs (ck74n and ck75n), the object should populate the corresponding condition types on the INFO records (ZFR2 for freight cost; ZOC2 for duty cost).
If you have any suggestions kindly replay.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
But my next question is how can I know how much cost centers will be for some document? If I need to define number of cost centers in advance, then this solution is not very flexible. The best solution would be if I could add values to classification flexibly (for example: one time 3 values and the other time 1 value).
:-Check box additional values in values tab of char. that will allow to enter flexible number of values any time
The other question is about values of parameters. For each cost center I need to enter two values (cost center number, and costs for that cost center). So, for each cost center I need to add 2 values. Is that possible using classification?
:-Create classification with chara. cost center, cost center value and check box additional values as above that will allow you to add values for cost center and cost center value.

Cost Estimate with Purchase info record

Hello Everyone,
I have a problem with Cost Estimation ( with Purchase info record), We hare using PIR ( Purchase Info records) for calculating cost estimation. These records are maintained on the base of Vendor and Material. There are some materials extended to more than one plant.Ex: Material: Mat1 are created under Plant PL1 and PL2.
Problems is when we are executing cost run with parameters Mat1 and PL1, system some times taking PL2 ( the last transaction created with that material - irrespective of the plant )transactions also, please help me how to solve this problem, my user wants, system should take the transactions only selected plants.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
guess SAPNET note 713111 describes your system behaviour, additional information can be found in 351835.
Maybe a valuation strategy with "user exit" can find the info-record price you are expecting.

Conditions in scale pricing in purchase info record

Dear Experts,
Need your valuable inputs on the following issue:
We have entered into an agreement with a vendor with the following clause:
1 PAC of material ABC costs Rs. 13000/-
In every month , the first PAC bought will be priced at Rs 13000/- and any quantity further bought in the same month will be priced at Rs. 6000/- per PAC.
For example:
07th July: PO placed for the material at 13000/-
15th July: Po placed for the material should automatically be at 6000/-
01st August: PO placed for the material at 13000/- and so on.
We looked up for Scales in Purchase Info Record and found to be valid only on quantity basis within the validity period of the info record.
Our concern is how to map the scaling condition for every month, whereby, the pricing of the purchase order in PO is system-dependent.
Looking forward to get the best solution,
Regards,
Nihar

I do not think its possible with scale maintain. Scale is used for picking price as per quantity.
Here, your requirement is against validity. Your price will be fluctuated against validity period.
You can maintain the price for the validity period as per your requirement in info record.
But unfortunately you have to maintain the price for every validity period for every months.
Otherwise you have the option of development, where you can write your own logic for the price picking in PO.

Two Purchase Info Records for Same Material & Plant Combination

Hi,
2 Purchase Info Records are there for Same Material & Plant for 2 Different Vendors & Net Price is maintained in both Info Records
1. Material M1 - Plant 1000 - Vendor A - Net Price Rs.4
2. Material M1 - Plant 2000 - Vendor B - Net Price Rs.3
Vendor A is Regular Vendor
(Tick as Regular Vendor is his Purchase Info Record)
It is observed that Rs.3 is picked up for Costing Purposes
Requirement is that - Net Price within Pur. Info Record of Regular Vendor i.e Rs. 4 must be picked up always for Costing Puposes.
Is this possible???
What Logic system uses while picking up the Price in case where there are 2 Pur. Info Records for same Material & Plant???
Thanks & Regards...

Purchase info record does not exists in purchase organization 1000

Hi experts,
          I have created a new enterprise structure in SAP. when i am creating a PO its picking the correct info record, but when i am doing GR, its giving the error as 'purchase info record does not exists in purchase organization 1000". I have maintained everything perfect. the only thing i have changed is I have moved the open and close period from 11-2002 to 12-2008 in MMPV.
         Please give me some suggestions, where it can go wrong.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Guys,
          Thanks for all yours responses, Actually what deepak said was right, but in my IDES system i am not able to create new entries in assign plant to std purchase org. I found the database view for that, V_001W_E its for table T001W. So i looked into that table i found that std purchase org was given as 1000. i made direct entries in that table, i thought the reason for this may be due to , that i copied plant from 1000. After making entries , i did not got the error message that was i am previously getting.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi.

Report for Materials expired with price on Purchase Info Record

Hi Experts,
Can anyone of you advice a report in SAP that can identify the materials where the price has expired on Purchase Info Record.
Thanks in advance.

Nagarjun

HI,
ME1P will be used to monitor the changes in terms of pricing conditions you made to your info record via Transaction MEKP.
In case of SA, you will have to build up your simple query by joining two tables A016 and KONP.

How to change the Qty Conversion on a Purchase Info Record.

I am trying to change the Quantity Conversion for a particular Purchase Info Record as it is incorrect. The inputs are greyed out on the Purchasing Organization1 Data Screen. I have also gone to the Conditions screen and the Menu Selection is greyed out when I go to the Menu for EXTRAS->Conversion Factors. The Conversion Factor has been changed at the Additional Data Screen of the Material Master. Any help would be greatly apprectiated. Thanks in Advance.

I have solved this problem. From the Condition Record I went to the Menu Path, GOTO->ADDITIONAL DATA. From here I was able to go to the Conversion Factor and make the changes.

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
Edited by: Colm McCann on Dec 10, 2008 2:56 PM

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).
