Purchase Order and Contract - controlling overall value

Our process has the following steps - The total amount in the order to the vendor is fixed. Indivdual services have rates fixed, but quantities are not fixed ie, the quantity can vary from 0 to any upper number subject to the overall value of the order. I tried the following:
Created a contract (ME31K) with the services and rates entered (quantity kept as 1). Overall value entered as the contract limit. PO created (ME21N) and Contract details and overall limits entered. Service items adopted from the contract and the 'No Limit' box checked for individual services. All service quantities maintained as 1 no, rates copied from contract.
With this my expectation was that the system will allow multuiple service entry sheets for each of the services upto the limit specified by the contract. However the system allowed Service Entry for value exceeding the overall limit of the contract.
What other configuration needs to be done to make sure that beyond the overall value limit, system does not allow service entry.
Thanks in advance for your help
Deepak

You say that
1. you have created the contract with overall service limits.
2. you now referred this contract and created the PO
PO created (ME21N) and Contract details and overall limits entered. Service items adopted from the contract and the 'No Limit' box checked for individual services. All service quantities maintained as 1 no, rates copied from contract.
Please remove the No limit check and keep only the value in contract limits. The system would then force you to enter the additional value in unplanned services during SES creation. The same applies when you are using Other Limits (Mentioned limit in other Limits tab in PO creation)
If it does not work, check message settings for message # SE 347, 364, 365 & 366.
If it still does not work, please open an OSS message to SAP.
Thanks & regards

Buyer of shopping cart, purchase order and contract

Hi
I wanted to ask about buyers. Are buyers usually a purchasing group/organisation? I am not sure if my thinking is right but wouldn't a buyer of a shopping cart and purchase order be the same. And a buyer of a contract would or can be different to the shopping cart because a contract is a source of supply and is probably linked to many purchasing groups/organizations.
Is this reasoning right? Buyers are different to approvers too isn't it? Please could someone explain this to me?
Kind regards

Hi Deepa,
Are buyers usually a purchasing group/organisation?
Ideally each buyer should ahve a unique purchasing group. In thsi case we can say that each buyer is a purchasing group. However, in some companies, its a possiblity of sharing a purchasing group. In that case multiple buyer users will be assigned to purchasing groups in the SRM organizational structure.
buyer of a shopping cart and purchase order be the same.
Normally, if a PO is created w.r.t. SC, the purchasing group is copied. So its the same. However we can change the purchasing groups in sourcing cockpit using workload reassignment option or direcly in the PO/contract document.
So we can say that its necessary to have PO/contract purchasing group same as that in SC.

Automatically adding purchase orders and maintenance contracts

We are actually doing our purchase requisition and quotation externally through a procurement agent. We get an excel sheet extract from our proquriement agent of all our purchases. We want to be able to automatically enter these purchases into the system for record keeping. Is there a way SAP can automatically read the extract file and enter purchase orders and maintenance contracts into the system? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The GL Account field in PO Line is not a UDF, it's a standard field.
other information, if I try to fill the GL Account field using the SAP orange arrow, it's ok(by selecting the same account number)

Blanket purchase order and Framework order?

Dear Gurus,
what are the main differences between Blanket purchase order and Framework order?
Thanks..

Framework order is also known as Blanket PO.....which we use for the procurement of Low value Material with Long term planning....It is used as Mini Contract....
For making Blanket PO....you have to choose Order type: FO in ME21N....with Item category "B"(Limit)
For creating Blanket PO... You need not have to maintain material master.....Maintaining Acc.assignment Category in PO is mandatory....also you have to maintain Validity Period in Blanket PO...
As per SAP Best Practice.....for Blanket PO, GR is not possible.....you can directly post multiple Invoices for One Blanket PO....The validity and total Value of these Invoices for Blanket PO during LIV can be controled by tollerance keys LA and LD.

Payment terms of Purchase Order and F-47

Dear All,
How can we link Payment terms of Purchase Order and Advance Payment made thru F-47.
i.e if we have given payment terms in Purchase ORder as 50% advance then by advance payment (F-47) we shall allow to pay only 50% of Purchase Order value as advance.
How / where can we define this type of setup.
Regards
Swati

hi,
There is no way in the system to restrict the payment amount to 50%once, it is mentioned in the payment terms as 50% advance. System does not have control tocheck and avoid the full payment

Blanket Purchase Order and the Framework Order

hi Gurus,
I wanted to know the following.
What is the difference between Blanket Purchase Order and the Framework Order.
Thanks.

Hi,
Framework order is also known as Blanket PO.....which we use for the procurement of Low value Material with Long term planning....It is used as Mini Contract....
Blanket Order:
Used for long validity period and with the provided value limit. By its name u201Cblanketu201D which covers to required long time? We use doc type FO(for long period) and item cat. B(for value limit).Goods receipts or the entry and acceptance of services performed are not necessary in the case of a blanket PO and limit items. The invoices are posted directly with reference to the purchase order, provided that the specified value limit is not exceeded. But manual entry of invoiced amount and invoiced quantity is required during LIV process.
Example: Procurement of stationary items.
Frame work order:
Framework order (FO) is a document type which is provided by the standerd SAP.
It can be used for the consumable material ( Which is having low value & where making GR is not of worth like C category item.) & called as blanket PO. Here we need to mntion the validity period & target value or quantity as a restriction as well as need to mention item category as a "b".
Also it can be used for the procurement of extarnal services (Item category "D" ). Here we need to do the entry of services which have been performed & need to accept the same whereas in blanket PO, GR is not required.
At the end i would tel u that Framework order is the document type which can be used as blanket Po & procurement of services.

Want to see combination of Purchase Order and A/P report at material level

Hello,
Anyone familiar with an InfoProvider that will show a combination of Purchase Order and A/P data combined?
I'm specifically looking for a source that includes the PO information at the Vendor / Material level with order value and quantity at the time the PO was created AND accounts payable data at the Vendor / Material level with the invoiced amount and quantity (which may vary for the PO amounts).
Thank you,
Jim

Purchase order and Account assignement category- Change

hi.,
We are trying to receive the Purchase order of High value components into INVENTORY.
However, most of these Purchase Orders were created with account assignments.
Because of that, if we receives these POs, they will be consumed against the object identified in the account assignment.
Additionally, some of these have been invoiced already and would need to be backed out from the finance side.
Question: How can we receive these STO Purchase orders and then make changes through Movement type ( or any other way ) so that the HIgh Value Components that are consumed against that AC assignment can be subsequently moved into Invenotory.
Also, what are the other options ( FI will not open Previous period) so that the PO's which have been invoiced can be reversed against that AC assignment.
Thanks All

hi Rajesh.,
As mentioned earlier, these Purchase orders are STO's which have been already created and we are waiting to do the GR for the same. Items in the STO PO are of High value which we need to bring into INVENTORY.
But, because these STO PO's were created with account assignments, if we do GR now, they will be consumed against the object identified in the account assignment.
Some of these STO PO's have been invoiced already and FI has indicated that they could cancel the invoices for those STO PO's in previous posting period.
Question again : How can we receive these STO Purchase orders and then make changes through Movement type ( or any other way ) so that the HIgh Value Components that are consumed against that AC assignment can be subsequently moved into Inventory and not to a cost Center (202)
Step (1) Can we cancel the Invoiced items> reverse the GR for invoiced Items>reverse STO for PO ?
Step (2) Can we reverse the STO for PO for which GR has not been done? then
Step (3) Change the PO through ME22N, remove the Account assignment category?
Or how do we correct this situation for
(1) PO's already invoiced.
(2) PO for which GR has not been made. How can we receive them into Stock and not Cost center.
Anticipating a reply
Thanks

Purchase order and service entry sheet

Hi
Is there a way to prohibit modifications on the position of services purchase order when the service entry sheet and the invoice were already entered for that position?
Thanks in advance for your help
Tomas

hi, thanks for your help, but the problem that i have is when the service entry sheet and the invoice are allready entered, the user change the value of the position and the service tab, so the user can enter services for more amounts. So its produce difference on the purchase order history between the values of LERF (WE) and the value of the purchase position. For example
Service Purchase order for 100 dollars.
Tab service: 2 units for 50 dollars
The user enter one service entry sheet for 50 and the invoice for 50 (lerf and WE= 50)
Then the user change the position of the purchase order and increase the value to 100 and modifies the service tab to 1 services for 100.
Then he enter one service for 100 and the corresponding invoice..........so the result is the following:
Service purchase position: 100
LERF-WE: 150
so the purchase order history is inconsistence.
For that reason i whant to know is there is a wat to prohibit modifications on the position of purchase order
Thanks in advnace for your help

Old Purchase orders and template - Price Information not taken into account

Hi experts,
In MDM catalog, I have a product with 'Price Information' and with 'Contract price'. I create a shopping cart with the 'Price Information'.
Then, I create another shopping cart using the anterior througth the functionality 'Old Purchase orders and template'.
The price taken into account is the 'Contract Price'
Is this the standard procedure?
Thanks in advance,
R Silva

as far as i know the price preference is in this order
1. Contract price
2. Purchase Info record
3. list price
so in that case - this is standard procedure
you can confirm - by doing the same process for an item that has ONLY price information (list price) and see if that price is copied from old to new SC
thanks

No Purchase order and sales order from trading contact

Hi Gurus,
I am new to this module and i am trying to create a Trading contract. As I understand that the trading contract should create Purchase order and Sales order automatically. But in my case, this didn't happen.
In this regard, I want to know,
i. Are info records mandatory or mentioning the required purchasing and sales data during contract creation is sufficient.
ii. What are the configurations required to do for GTM functionality and which are the points should I check for this.
help me out.

HI
there are some status that is required to be set while you save a trading contract.
your trading contract must be approved or released..only then follow-on docs will be created.
