Purchase order with HELD status

Hi,
After approval of shopping cart all my purchase order are created with held status.
When controlling the purchase order i have the error message "Select a location to which a plant has been assigned"
Could anyone please give some explanation.
Thanks

Hi
Hope it would not allow to order a cart since you don thave a plant details?
check it up. If Po created check why plant details are not copied into your PO.

Purchase Order in Held status

Hi -
We are using extended classic scenario - PO created both in SRM and backend ECC. We configured one level approval for shooping cart. Shopping cart is getting created and approved by the next level approver. However after the shopping cart is approved, PO is created in SRM with held status and backend ECC PO is not created at all. We checked workflow settings and other configs etc. - everything looks great. Can someone throw some light on this issue ?
Thanks
SK

Hi
What is your source of supply ? how did you assign a vendor to the shopping card for creating purchase order?
can you tell me in bbp_pd what is the partner function existing .i think you may not have partner function 19. you may have 39 only.
are you using any BADI to change the partner function?
waht is the value of po existing in currency and item price and total value of PO?
can you create po for other sc ? are you facing this problem for only this po?
check any lock in sm12 t code/ sm58 any logs.
is anybody is holding the PO check via SM04 .
account assignment is active
for eg.cost center which you refered is inactive in the backend.

Purchase Order with "Error in Process" status????

We are currently using SRM 4.0 in an extended classis setup. We have been live for appropriately 1 yr and half and I have noticed more and more Purchase Orders going into status "Error in Process" when a change (increase value, add line items, change name) has been performed on the PO and then the PO is approved. The PO will sometimes show up in the SRM Administration Tab occassionaly but more than less they don't and we have to search for failed PO to find all the "error in Process" PO's. I have had success with having the user just change something in the name of the PO and then re-order and the PO will then go into R3 but I was wondering is there something in the system other than having the user change the PO that I can do to push the PO into R3. When we have similar issues with confirmation I run tcode SWO1 and use the GUID ID and click transfer to push it to the backend. Is there anything I can do in the backend that will send the PO into R3 and update the status to Ordered giving there is no apparent error in the system?

Hello Robert,
We've been facing a similar issue (we are also in SRM 4.0 Extended Classic Scenario): Sometimes, when the user modifies a purchase order from SRM (for example, to add some new items), the purchase order replication to the backend failed.
In the Application monitor, we had the following backend error:
"Insert Cost Center for Item X"
but the Cost Center value was correct (other items from the same purchase order had the same account assignment).
We thought the problem was related to the function module in the backend which was changing the purchase order, so we put a SAP OSS Note.
In this OSS note, SAP recommended us to implement note 1005615, and the problem was solved.
Check if this note could be implemented in your backend.
Hope this helps you,
Regards.

Acct determination for Account-assigned purchase order with keys not define

Hi,
I'm trying to post an IDOC of type BBPIV through XI to an R/3 system.
The posted idoc in R/3 is in status 51 (Application document not posted) with the error message "Acct determination for Account-assigned purchase order with keys not defined in chart of acts WP2P"
As per my understanding this is something related to FI.
Long text of the error is "The system cannot generate an automatic posting because there is no account determination defined for Account-assigned purchase order with keys in chart of accounts WP2P.
Correct the account determination for Account-assigned purchase order"
Please help me how to solve this.
Regards,
Rashmi

Hiya,
This looks like its a MM posting / transaction.
You need to go to OBYC and maintain the account assignment. If you provide the business scenario (GR into Stock, Subcontracting, etc.) for the process, I may be able to help.
VKOA is for SD account assignment and I don't believe you can use that here.
Cheers.

Create blocked purchase order with BAPI_PO_CREATE1

Hi,
I´m creating stock transport orders with BAPI_PO_CREATE1. At first, I need to
set them to the release status 'S' for blocked. After some checks, I want be able
to relase it and create the delivery.
I have found some fields like rel_status inside of the header structure of
BAPI_PO_CREATE1. But when I set this to 'S', the purchase order is created
with status 'released'.
How can I create a purchase order with BAPI_PO_CREATE1 and set it to 'blocked'
first?
Thanks, Arne

No ideas about that?

Goods receipt for purchase order with account assignment 'K'

Hello All,
There are couple of purchase orders with acc.*** "K". On doing the GR for these PO's they have been done with mvt type 103 & mvt typ 105.
I understand that material has been directly consumed to the respective cost center.
How do track the internal movement for these materials??
I need to view the stock for these materials at the cost center as in MMBE the stock is seen as ZERO.
All these materials are with QM proc ACTIVE. So a goods receipt is done 105, then the inspection lot is cleared. However, in this case as the material is directly consumed, it is NOT displayed in QA32.
Is the above procedure correct??? Is it better to receive stock against mvt type 101 & then do a 201 mvt ??
Request your inputs.....
Regards,
Manoj Reddy

Account assignment inventories are not maintained. To maintain a report for cost center receiving/issuing you need to make a customized report with help of ABAP.
Other way is to pull report in MB51, with selection criteria COST CENTER and it will give you result of stocks available on cost center. For stocks received on cost center, you can pull report with cost center and movement 101.
201 is used for goods issue to cost center from warehouse, the stock you receive from PO against 101 is directly charged to cost center, so no need to issue later to cost center.

Purchase Order with Invoice Plan

Hi,
I need to understand working with Invoicing plans for a Purchase Order. Especially the service PO for the rents and other related services.
How the PO is linked to the Invoice Plan and how the process happens in SAP?
Thanks in advance!

Creating an Invoicing Plan
The following procedure describes how to create an invoicing plan with the pre-Enjoy ordering transactions (ME21, ME22, ME23).
The procedure described is also applicable u2013 with certain restrictions u2013 to the Enjoy purchase order (ME21N, ME22N, ME23N).
If you are using the Enjoy purchase order, you will find:
·         The Invoicing Plan button and the indicators for GR-based invoice verification (GR-Based IV), service-based invoice verification (Srv.-Based IV), evaluated receipt settlement (ERS), and invoice receipt (Inv. Receipt) among the item details on the Invoice tab page.
·         The account assignment among the item details on the Account Assignment tab page
·         The Goods Receipt and GR Non-Valuatedindicators among the item details on the Delivery tab page
Prerequisites
Vendor Master Record
Before you can use the invoicing plan with automatic settlement, the Evaluated Receipt Settlement Delivery indicator must be set on the Purchasing Data screen in the vendor master record.
(If you wish to enter invoicing dates manually, this is not necessary.)
Purchase Order
●     We recommend using a framework order (that is a purchase order with a validity period and a reason for rejection). The invoicing plan can adopt the validity period specified in the PO header.
●     PO items for which you wish to use an invoicing plan must have account assignment irrespective of whether a material with a master record, a material described by a short text, or an external service is involved.
●     The GR/IR control facility must be set up in such a way that no goods receipt (or, in the case of services, no service entry) is expected - only an incoming invoice. If you wish to have automatic settlement, you must also set the Evaluated Receipt Settlement indicator.
If you nevertheless wish to allow service entry sheets for the item (e.g. for information purposes only), you must set the GR Non-Val. indicator.
Customizing
Under Purchase Order à Invoicing Plan in Customizing for Purchasing, you can maintain data such as the desired invoicing plan types, date categories, and date descriptions.
Procedure
       1.      Create a purchase order with account assignment (framework order).
Click to access the item overview (or the overview of service lines if you chose item category D for services).
       2.      Enter the desired material or service, the quantity, and the price.
       3.      Select the desired item and click Account Assignments to access the account assignment screen. Enter the account assignment for this item.
       4.      Click to access the item detail screen. Check that the GR/IR control indicators are set correctly on the item detail screen.
○     The GR and GR-Based Invoice Verification or Service-Based Invoice Verification indicators must not be set.
○     IR must be set.
○     You must set ERS if you wish to have Evaluated Receipt Settlement.
○     If you wish to have service entry sheets purely for information, for example, allow non-valuated goods receipt (i.e. select the GR Non-Val and GR indicators).
       5.      Choose Item ® Invoicing Plan. A window appears, in which the invoicing plan types predefined in Customizing are suggested. Choose the desired invoicing plan type and click Continue.
You can use the following invoicing plan types:
○     Periodic Invoicing Plan
■      You use the periodic invoicing plan if the total value of the PO item is to be invoiced in each period.
■      The system creates the invoicing dates automatically on the basis of the settings in Customizing.
■      The invoicing date and the amount to be invoiced are shown for each settlement period (e.g. month). In the case of the periodic invoicing plan, the amount represents the total value of the PO item.
■      You can change the suggested dates and block individual dates for automatic invoicing if necessary.
■      You can enter the start and end dates for the invoicing plan.
■      With the Dates from and Dates to fields, you can determine that an invoicing plan does not contain invoicing dates extending over the entire validity period of the purchase order but only for a certain period within that validity period. (E.g. within a validity period from 1.1. to 12.31, only dates within the period 1.1. to 06.30.)
■      With the Horizon field, you control how far into the future dates can be created. If you enter a date rule that adds six months to the current date here, invoicing dates will be created for just half a year in advance in each case.
The system automatically creates new dates if you change the invoicing plan or when you invoke the transaction for Updating Periodic Invoicing Plans. See Generating Further Invoicing Plan Dates
■      The In Advance indicator allows you to specify whether the invoice is to be created with regard to a prior or subsequent period. (E.g. at the beginning of February, either in advance for the month of February or in arrears for the month of January).
■      In addition, fields with information on the existing invoicing plan are displayed (e.g. the calendar upon which the date determination process is based).
○     Partial Invoicing Plan
■      You use the partial invoicing plan if the total value of the PO item is to be invoiced in several partial amounts.
■      You get an empty date overview in which you can manually enter the desired dates.
■      If you work with a reference invoicing plan, the system automatically generates dates in accordance with the reference plan.
You have the following options:
●      You create a reference invoicing plan in Customizing for the invoicing plan type.
●      You enter an existing invoicing plan as reference plan directly in the invoicing plan for the PO item.
■      You can flag a date in field B (Billing/Invoicing Rule) as follows:
●      As a down payment (percentage or value)
●      As an invoicing date (percentage or value)
●      As a final invoice
       6.      Click to return to the item overview.
       7.      Click to save the purchase order item with the invoicing plan.
You can then start the automatic invoice creation process during invoice verification.
For more information, refer to the section Settlement of Amounts Due Under Invoicing Plans.
Once assigned to an item, the invoicing plan type (e.g. partial invoicing plan) cannot be changed. If you wish to assign a different invoicing plan type, you must delete the item and create a new one.
Generating Further Invoicing Plan Dates
If you have assigned a periodic invoicing plan to a PO item but have not initially defined invoicing dates covering the entire validity period of the purchase order, you can generate further dates in due course.
You have created a PO item with a periodic invoicing plan for a certain planned procurement. The purchase order is valid from 1.1. to 12.31. When creating the invoicing plan, you specified one invoicing date per month for the first half of the year. You have not yet planned any dates for the second half of the year because you do not wish information from the invoicing plan to be passed on to purchase order commitments at this stage, for example.
By mid-June, it is clear that the PO is to proceed as envisaged, and you therefore wish to schedule invoicing dates for the remainder of its validity period.
Procedure
To schedule further invoicing dates, proceed as follows:
Choose Purchase order ® Follow-on functions ® Period. invoicing plan
Specify the purchase orders for which invoicing dates are to be generated in the invoicing plan and perform the function.
A log can be created if desired.
Result
The system adds further dates on the basis of information such as the validity period or horizon from Customizing, the purchase order, and the invoicing plan.

Validity start & end, in Purchase Order with limit

Hi All,
We are using a model of SAP with one type of Purchase Order: we have created a new type of purchase order (ZFOA), that we use for all purchase orders.
Now we want to use ZFOA also for Blanket Purchase Order, instead of the standard type proposed for this scope by SAP (FO).
We have inserted Validity Start & Validiti End as Optional Entry in Customizing.
( IMG - MM - Purchasing - Purchase Ordrer - Define Screen Layout at Document Level).
We have inserted them as Optional Entries, and not as Required Entries, because they are Required only for Blanket Purchase Order. (and we use ZFOA for all ours types of Purchase Order)
So i want to know if it's possible to connect the obligatory requirement of these two entries to:
- ZFOA (type of Purchase Order)
- B (Item category in Purchase Order)
In this way:
1) when i create a PO (ZFOA) without item category B --> Validity date & Validity End are not obligatory fields
2) when i create a PO (ZFOA) with item category B ---> Validity date & Validity End are obligatory !!
Have you got any Solutions??
Best regards
Alba

Thanks very much!
Now i found in MM SAP Manual (SCM 520, Purchasing) a similar example, and it could seem possible:
When creating a standard purchase order with the standard item category, the following field selection key is determined for the Material group field:
Field selection key ME21N (Create/Change Purchase Order transaction):
The Material Group field is an optional field.
Field selection key AKTH(Create activity category):
The Material Group field is an optional field.
Field selection key NBF (purchasing document type NB):
The Material Group field is an optional field.
Field selection key PT0F (item category Standard):
The Material Group field is a mandatory (required-entry) field.
The combination of field selection keys ME21N, AKTH and NBF means that the field is an optional field. Because the Material Group field is defined as a mandatory field in the field selection key PT0F however, this means that the field requires an entry when a purchase order is being created.
I have the same problem for Validity start field, but why if i do all of this things, the field remain not mandatory?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
ALba

When a replenishment delivery is ceated in product view, APO automatically creates purchase order with zero quantity and the replenishment delivery's receipt element. APO does not transfer the purchase order to R/3. Do you have an idea about the problem?

G/L Account default in purchase order with account assignment category K

Hello gurus,
when creating a new position in a purchase order with account assignment category K "Cost Center", the G/L Account No. is always filled with a default account.
Where and how can I define, what account is used as default GL Account?
The version is sap ecc 6.0.
I will reward points all answer!!
Thank you!

Hi
check the valaution class assigned to the material or the material group (if no material is being used)
Now goto OBYC, Click on the transaction key GBB, for the account modifier VBR, & for the valuation clqass combination - check the G/L account.
Based on this combination the G/L is determined auitomatically in the PO. if you chnage it here ... it will reflect in PO at the time of creation.
Thanks & Regards
