Purchase req. for activity/element cannot be generated

Hi:
I want to creat a new external activity，but the Purchase req. for activity/element cannot be generated. The Messagr No. is CN705.
I checked the network activity,I fount that the"Reservation/ Purchase Requisition" be setted option 2 ( From Release). I want this should be with option 3 (immediately).
I have checked network profile , the option 3 (immediately) is setted.
Is there any other place where we set this setting. Please share your valuable opinion.
Best Regards.

Hi,
If it is appearing in display mode only (It must be made to "display" only in SPRO at Field settings for Network) then it is not possible for the users to change it in the operative project. If you have made the changes in the Network profile for Pur.reqn. after the Project / NWA is created and released then create a fresh Network /activity and check.

PURCHASE REQUISITION FOR SERVICE

HELLO
IN THE TRANSACTION ME21N FOR PURCHASE REQUISITION FOR SERVICE. IN THE SERVICE VIEW AT ITEM LEVEL, THERE IS A LIST DISPLAYED, SO I NEED TO ADD A FIELD WITH INFORMATION OF THE MATERIAL GROUP.
ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO DO THAT?
THANK YOU
ELENA

Hi,
ME21N is the transaction for a PO creation.
On the full screen services view you can enter either a service number (if you have maintained service masters in transaction AC01) or you can enter just a short text to describe your service.
There is also the column material group (ESLL-MATKL) available to fill in your material group (screen SAPLMLSP 0201). You can also enter your material group by selecting the service line and going to the detail view (popup "display service details", tab "basic data" (screen SAPLMLSP 0220).
What do you mean by "list"? Have you switched on the outline view for your services? You can turn on and off this outline overview by hitting F6.

Kindly advise.
Thank you,

In all account assignment ,G/L account will be mandatory field along with selected account assignements in PR/PO.
create services from AC01 (similar as Material Master) to keep unique records in system . and then select these service codes while creating PR.
Use below steps:
1 ) Select account assignment

3) Enter Short text as service specification ( same as material description) ( Example - Main Service specification - Floor Cleaning)
4) Qty is always 1
5) Select UOM
6) Select Service Material Group
7) Fill up all mandatory details
8) Under Service Tab , you need to now provide all service specifcations one by one. ( Example- sub services 1st Floor Cleaning ,2nd Floor)
9) then you have to provide Price
10) Required Qty ( In case of you giving salary to workers for month ,then Qty will be 30/31 as per month ,and UOM will be Day)
Hope this will clear to you.

Requirement Date of PR for Service Activity

Hello All,
Can any one tell me how to enter the requirement date for service activity?
Scenario is that I don't have budget in current fiscal year, hence; cannot book my commitment. So, I want to book a commitment in future (for next fiscal year). How can I enter requirement date for service purchase requisition?
Thanks in advance.
Warm Regards

Thanks for you quick response.
In this case I have to create multiple service activities. Is it possible that I can split service items from one service activity into muliple fiscal years.
For Example: There are three service items in activity XYZ, I require two items in current fiscal year and one item in the next. Please advise...

CONTRACTS FOR SERVICE ACTIVITY MASTERS

We have created contracts (Document type MK) with item category service. When creating a Purchase Requisition for the Service Activity Master, source determination is not done with reference to the contract. The contract number and line item number must manually be entered.
Can anybody maybe assist me in how the contracts functionality for service masters should work?
Thanx

hI,
1. First you have to create a requisiiton for serivces and assign the source of supply in ME51N.
2.Then with reference to this requisition create a contract in ME31K
3.Then create the release Orders in ME21N and specify the service qty in item details.
4.Then post service entry sheet in ML81N with reference to this PO.
5.Then Do the invoice verification.
This is the cycle to be folowed for contract services.

MRP creating additional purchase requisitions for the existing sales order

Hi,
We have scenario where we switch materials from POD material to ARP material. POD material is just like make to procurement which creates purchase requisition and purchase order upon saving the sales order. ARP (Auto replenishment) material creates purchase requisition based on sales order and re-order point while running MRP.
When the material is POD title, it created purchase requisition and purchase order (example: 4500000110) while saving the sales order (example: 1000000010) for the quantity 10. After some time this material is switched to ARP and it has open sales order (1000000010) and purchase order (4500000110).
We have special MRP run for ARP materials based on MRP type, which creates purchase requisition.. What is happening is when we run MRP; it is creating new purchase requisition for the old sales order (1000000010) for the quantity 10. But old sales order (1000000010) is already having purchase order (4500000110) to fulfill. So we donu2019t want to create new purchase requisition for the old sales orders. It should create purchase requisition only for new sales orders.
Please advise
Thanks in advance
Srinivas

Mangesh,
If the components are Inhouse production then you can think of using collective orders by assigning special procurement key 52. If raw material exists then your requirement cannot be met..as i think your scenario is of assembly processing. The idea of assembly processing is that component materials will always be available and only assembly will be done based on Sale Order.

How to create a Purchase Requisition for a material component in WBS or NW?

Hello All,
I have created a project with the following structure:
Project Defination (Construction of Sub station)
      Main WBS
               Level 1 WBS
                         Level 2 WBS
                                   Network for level 2 WBS
                                                  Activity (Procuring Material)
                                                             Material Component - MATXXX (Stock Item)
Now in the above structure i have a activity where in i am procuring all the materails required to construct a Substation.
So under this activity i have assigned all the materials which are needed to build Substaion.
After i change the status of the project to release, there a reservation created for the quantity of the material which i have mentioned in the material component under the activity.
Now my querey is, how should i create a Purchase requisition for the reserved materail quantity in order to bring in the stock against the WBS / network / Project ?
Awaiting your reply.
Thanks and Regards,
Sudarshan.

Hi Sudarshan,
In your case you can run Me5J to check the list of PR created against your project.
Then Create PO and similarly you can check list of PO in Me2J.
Then followed by GR and check if any GR release exist in MIGO. Then once after doing GR you can check the Material in Stock which will move material from Unrestricted stock to Project Stock which you can check it in MMBE.
Then you can do the Good Issue in MIGO itself and run MIRO to complete the cycle.

Purchase requisitions for raw materials

Iam having multilevel BOM and when I do Sales order MRP then Iam getting planned order for Semi finished items but not getting Purchase requisitions for raw materials.

Hi,
Planing File Entry :-
The planning file is used to limit the scope of the planning run for the
total planning run. For this purpose, all materials that have been
assigned a valid MRP type are automatically entered in the planning
file.
System will check the Planing file entry only in the case of Total MRP (MD01) or Total MPS (MD40).
While there is no need in the case of MD02,MD03,MD41,MD42,MD50.
Now how this Planing File entry activates,
- Once MRP is activated at Plant level (T.code OMDU)system automatically maintains entry in Planning file for all those materials which contains the Active MRP type.
- So if materials which are created before this activation of MRP in that case you have to maintain this planing file entry manual.You can do this either by MD20 or by using Back Ground Jon OMD0.

Dhaval

Purchase order for services

When creating a purchase order for services, I am entering services lines in the SERVICES TAB, I would like to structure the services in the service specification into a hierarchy of outline levels. How I can do this? How can I activate the Service Specification outline ?
Thanks

Hello,
You can use an outline only in t the 'Full Screen: service'. In the Services full screen, you can choose 'Outline On/Off' to show and hide the service overview. You ser the width of the service overview as desired and when entering the transaction, system displays the settings selected before leaving the transaction.
If you select an outline level, the data area of the services displays the relevant service lines. You can choose 'Services' to display at outline level whether service line exist at outline level.

Transfer of tax indicator to purchase order for service items in shopping cart

Hi all.
I have a problem with the tax indicator in the shopping carts and in the backend purchase orders for service items. If I create a shopping cart with service items with different tax indicators, the backend purchase order have a unique item including all the services. So, all the PO items are under one tax indicator while in the shopping cart there is more than one indicator. I mean, the PO is not correctly replicated with the information of the SC.
Example: shopping cart in SRM with 3 items, tax codes: V1, V2, V1. The standard code transfers the information to the backend, and creates a purchase order with an unique item with the 3 services under tax code V1. So, the second service is not under the correct tax code, and will be wrongly invoiced.
We have debugged all the code of the process, and we think it is a standard bug. When you replicate a PO in the backend from a SC in SRM, have you experienced this behaviour, or the service items are grouped in different PO items each one with the correct tax indicator?
Thanks in advance.

Hi again...
I forgot to mention that we have found and applied the note 1822107 (Purchase order: wrong tax code for PO with 2 service items), that fits exactly to our problem. But after testing, it doesn't work.

Purchase Requisition for Order BOM components ?

Dear Members :
Can I generate purchase requisition for Order BOM components from VA01 ? Mine is TAQ - the header itm cat and TAE for sub-items (finished prod) . While navigating within Sales Order and branching to a particular component's shced. line - the pruch req col is blank. The schedule line cat for the sub-item is CT.
Could someone please explain the configuration steps I need to maintain for the above ? What I am expecting is when I save the Sales Order it should create Purch Req for the components which do not have enough stock.
Thanks
Atanu

Hi :
Thanks for your advice. Couple of things :
1. In my system in auto acc assignment, I already have consumption acc under posting key GBB. Now I am getting error in VA01 - which states that "The system was not able to determn a consumption acc for purchase order item with acc assignment" and also suggesting to address "GBB posting key". I made the following changes for CT :
    movt : 101
    order type : NB
    item cat : 0
    acc assignment cat : F/C
2. Obviously SAP is expecting a consumption GL acc, which though is there under GBB-AUF from my existing setup. For generating purch req this is strange becoz I haven't yet gone upto PO generation step nor released the supposed to be Purch Req. for BOM component - and this is before I save the Sales Order .
3. In spro->acc grouping for mov type; I don't see the following combination in SAP ie,
101(MvT) - B (MvT) - GBB (TEKey) - AUF. I need B instead of F which is already there and is for production order but the BOM comp has to be for PO but the combination is not there.
Do you think this could be the reason that SAP couldn't find the GL acc ?
4. Also my purpose was not just to raise a purch req every time the sales order is created for the BOM components - only if there is shortage in stock - but then again for CT once I assign the above, it doesn't allow to check the boxes like Availbility , Requrmnt etc. (??)
Am I clear and could you please suggest me what I am missing or doing wrong ? What movement type do you siggest to enter in CT fields.
Thanks so much for your time.
