Purchasing data of material

When I Create a standard order based on material T-FS101.The material master
T-FS101, a bill of material and a work plan have already been created.
Message comes
"Purchasing data of material T-TS101 is not maintained".
Please tell me how to maintain its purchasing data so that my sale order can be created.
basically this sale order trigger make to order production.

Hi,
As suggest by Mr. Lakshmipathi,
Check with MM02 and select the purchasing view and see for any warning message if it exists then you have not created the Purchasing view properly.
Now, excute MM01, enter the same materal - T-TS101 , select the purchasing view and (Optional enter the Purchasing value Key ) then save.
Hope this may help you.
Best regards,
Amit.

  • System not giving Forward date when Material will be available

    Dear All,
    I have a problem of system not giving me the forward date when material will be available in the schedule line. I will give you an example - say material - A01 , stock of same is - 500 qty available. Availability check - 02(Individual reqt), all other MRP controllers also set properly.
    Now i create Sales order for the same material  for 650qty, system confirming 500qty but not giving me the confirmed date when rest 150qty will be available in the schedule line.
    Kindly tell me which config setting needs to be enabled to get this in sales order.
    Thanks in advance...

    Is there a MRP element which could cover the remaining 150? Like a purchase or production order, for example?
    If there's none, and you still want to have a confirmation after the replenishment lead time, maintain the RLT in material master, and use/define an ATP check that is taking in consideration RLT.
    If there's such an element, use/define/review ATP checking logic, to include such elements in the check.

    I
    m doing STO for intra copmany code(plant to plant stock transfer),I have done all STO setting ,maintain material with plant and storage condition,loading groups , maintain customer with storage condition,created vendor with supplying plant.setting is done for supplying plant and receiving plant .

    But when I m creating PO in ME21N below error is showing..

    Regards,

    Hi Sharan,
    Thanks for your reply.
    problem got solved but in different way ,STO setting was wrong.
    I didn't maintain delivery document type(NL) on plant level  It was maintain at storage location that's why system couldn't determine shipping info for material.
    Please check the setting below.
    IMG> MM>Purchasing>Purchase order>STO>STO between storage location>set up storage location -dependent shipping point determination>define rule for determination of sipping point>
    here we have to set delivery document type(NL) to plant specific shipping point determination.

  • Authorization role - Purchase Order by Material Groups

    Hello experts,
    I would like to create an authorization role where he could limit the creation of purchase orders by material groups. However, I checked all the authorization and noticed that at the level of purchases there is no authorization that allows me to such behavior. Is there any way to limit the creation of purchase orders for material group, that is, I have two material groups, and intend to have a function that only allows me to create purchase orders with materials of material group X and another function that only allow me to create purchase orders with materials of material group Y.
    To limit the creation of material master by material group I used authorization:
    Materials Management: Master Data                            MM_G
    Material Master: Material Groups                             M_MATE_WGR
    There exist any authorization to use for Materials Management: Purchasing - MM_E that allows me to limit the purchase orders by materials group?
    Thanks in advance,
    Best regards,
    José Pereira

    Hi,
    There is not such Authorisation Object in Standard SAP which will control the PO creation/change/display based on Material Groups.
    You need to create a Z-Authorisation object in T-code SU21 under Object Class MM_E and then same to be added for T-Codes ME21N/ME22N/ME23N.
    And then you need to call user exit or BAdi (ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST) and call this object with help of ABAPer.

  • Generic Extractor: enriching GL Data with Purchasing Data

    Experts,
    This is my first time with Generic Extractor.
    Requirement:
    We have a requirement to enrich GL data with Purchasing data via the Material Document Number.
    I need to provide this upto to the datawarehouse layer wherein another team will take over.
    Solution idea:
    Material Document is not part of the datasource 2LIS_02_SCL.
    a. Should I enhance this datasource to include material number  OR
    b. Develop a concept to create a generic delat enabled extractor that pulls data from EKBE, GR and IR information.
    In EKBE multiple material documents can exist per PO. The extractor returns 2 record per PO (before and after image) with the updated information.So if we have the first GR with Material document 901 and then a second GR with material doc 902 the extractor loads 3 records. New record, Before image and after image and the only one stored in BI is the after image. material doc would have value 902 if enhanced.
    For the generic extractor approach the  the ability to load deltas is crucial, since the EKBE table is very big. Maybe
    "CPUDT-Day On Which Accounting Document Was Entered" and "CPUTM-Time of Entry" can be leveraged as delta hook.
    Any ideas???
    Thanks,

    Hi Venugopal,
    The Datasource that you need to enhance would definitely be 2LIS_02_ITM.
    To fetch the gross price you can use the below mentioned logic:
    DATA: l_t_MC02M_0ITM LIKE MC02M_0ITM OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
          wa_MC02M_0ITM LIKE LINE OF l_t_MC02M_0ITM,
          tp_KBETR LIKE KONV-KBETR,
          tp_KPOSN LIKE KONV-KPOSN,
          tp_KNUMV LIKE EKKO-KNUMV.
    LOOP AT C_T_DATA INTO wa_MC02M_0ITM.
          CLEAR tp_KBETR.
          CLEAR tp_KPOSN.
          CLEAR tp_KNUMV.
          tp_KPOSN = wa_MC02M_0ITM-EBELP.
          SELECT SINGLE
          KNUMV
          INTO tp_KNUMV
          FROM EKKO
          WHERE EBELN EQ wa_MC02M_0ITM-EBELN.
    *     Select query to Fetch the Gross Price (KBETR) for a PO
          SELECT SINGLE
          KBETR
          INTO tp_KBETR
          FROM KONV
          WHERE KNUMV EQ tp_KNUMV AND
                KPOSN EQ tp_KPOSN AND
                KSCHL LIKE 'PB%'.
          IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
            wa_MC02M_0ITM-YYKBETR = tp_KBETR.
            MODIFY C_T_DATA FROM wa_MC02M_0ITM.
          ENDIF.
      ENDLOOP.
    You may still want to check with the functional person for the exact logic.

  • Define default for purchasing data in prod. order creation

    Hi Experts,
    Could You, pls help me to define default parameters for production order related purchasing data?
    We have a special production, when no BOM used for component list, but components are identified one-by-one in production order. And out of this unique demand we create a PR.
    When a component (with no material number) is defined in production order, purchasing value also need to be maintained (such as purchasing group, G/L account , material group). These data always need to be added manually, whoever they are rather standard - so I have tried to set default value as parameter, using parameter ID, but it did not work.
    Do You happened to know, how to set default value for this feature?
    Thanks in advance

    OBYC is not used only for automatic account determination for goods movements (stock items).
    For instance, it is used in shipment costing too:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/93/744148546011d1a7020000e829fd11/frameset.htm
    G/L acocunt is determined in the shipment cost document, after that of course it will be used by system when posting the goods receipt (service item).
    In production order, in the component overview, the G/L account is determined in the way as I discribed. When creating the PR system uses account assignment category "F", and for this G/L account can be determined by OBYC - this is what is happeneing, just a step before, in the production order and it will be copied to PR (I guess).
    (I tried to modify the G/L account in OBYC and the change was reflected in PrdOrd for the component, so it is working fine)
    As for the user exit: be careful when testing it by debugging. Program run several times reaches it, it is not enough to overwrite the values in the internal structures only once (I'm speaking here about G/L account --> the mentioned account determination overwrites it values a few times - I would set the G/L account not via the exit, but by OBYC)

  • How do I get iTunes songs off the iCloud back onto my computer, preferably without changing the purchase date to today's date?

    Trying to download previously purchased iTunes songs that are firmly embedded in the iCloud. At one point these songs were all on my computer. Then I idiotically joined iCloud. All the songs were sucked off and into iCloud. iCloud couldn't provide more than twenty seconds of any song without freezing whatever device, Macbook Pro, iPhone 4s, ipods, or breaking up the playback into fits and starts and finally silence, ever, no matter if the connection was cable or wireless.
    I have ever update on every device, I have the max. RAM, excess disk/flash space. The problem is the difficulty of downloading. Oddly the download to my ancient PC went almost without a hitch, it is with Apple devices that the trouble lies.
    About 2/3 of the songs have successfully downloaded to my computer. However the purchase date, which I used frequently as a search/sort function, have on many of the songs been switched to today's date, or the date of the latest download instead of my original purchase date.
    Many songs downloaded, many remain in the cloud with the 'cloud' icon beside them.
    Clicking on the "download all" icon doesn't download them all.
    They begin to download and then stop/freeze.
    I'm reduced to manually scrolling to each song and clicking on the 'cloud' to download, this works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. The whole thing usually crashes after a while.
    This is where I am now, at the iTunes store on the "Purchased" page with all my songs in a list with "downloaded" or a "cloud icon" in the far right column, frozen once again.
    I really would like to maintain the original purchased date(the day when I purchased the song from iTunes) but I'm to the point where I'd just be happy to get them downloaded onto the Macbook Pro, and hopefully never deal with the cloud again for the rest of my life.
    Lastly, if anyone can recommend an alternative music site to iTunes it would be welcome.
    Thank you.

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!" 

  • A friend gave me an ipod and i have no purchase date and i no longer have access to my friend

    Ok so my brother was given this ipod as a present about 2 years ago by a friend of his as a gift. This friend was met at a farmers market in Los Angeles and my brother only got to be in contact with this friend on the weekends when he would sell fruit at the farmers market (my family runs Etheridge Farms Organic Produce and attends many different farmers markets in the Los Angeles area including Encino, Calabasis, and Santa Monica but the same people do not always do the same market). He then let me put all my music on it and since then my computer has crashed and this ipod is the only thing that has my music and videos on it. Now he has recieved a newer Ipod and has given me this ipod so i can redownlaod my music. Unfortunately the email address that was used for my old itunes account had been hacked a little over a year ago so I have recently gotten a new computer and a new email address, so I am trying to register this ipod onto my itunes account so i can get all 500+ songs and 3 movies but it is asking for a purchase date. I personally do not know the man who gave the ipod to my brother and my brother has lost contact with him. So I dont know what to do. I purchased all of the songs on my grandmothers credit card and the card has expired since then. I am just woundering if I am out of luck or if there is some way to get my purchases back by using what information I have from my old itunes account.
    P.s. I know this ipod wasnt stolen because my mother knew about it and if my mom knows about it the first thing she will ask is where u got it from and go verify that it wasnt stolen from someone. My brother has gotten her into this habbit because he used to steal often and got caught either in the act or tracked down through security cameras on multiple occasions. Also the screen of the ipod is broken so I can not see what is going on with it but the music still plays and everything. Please help I have been trying to get information about the ipod for a few weeks now and am about to give up and that is alot of money spent to just give up on.

    It all depends on the version of AirPort Express that you have.
    If you have the "new" AirPort Express with both a WAN and LAN port, you can connect the G5 to the LAN <-> port on the AirPort Express.
    If you have an older AirPort Express that has only one Ethernet port, then that port is already occupied with the connection from your modem.
    Does your modem have additional open Ethernet ports or does it have only one Ethernet port?

  • I purchased an iPad mini on October 10th.  I want to return it and get the new ipad mini retina when it comes out.  How do I do that if the new ipad mini release date isn't until "later in November", which is beyond the 14 days from my purchase date?

    I purchased an iPad mini on October 10th.  I want to return it and get the new ipad mini retina when it comes out. I am currently still within the 14 day return/exchange window but how can I exchange it if the new ipad mini release date isn't until "later in November", which would be beyond the 14 days from my purchase date?  If apple announces a new version of a product you just purchased but won't actually release it for more than 14 days, how can you possibly exchange the one you just bought?  Is my only option to return the one I bought on the 10th (so return by 10/24) and then not have an iPad until the new one is available for purchase?  Or would it make any sense to return the one I bought, get a new one, which would presumably have another 14 day return window, and then exchange THAT one for the new ipad mini w/ retina when it comes out (hopefully within that second 14 day window)?

    Call the apple store you got it from and ask them. Sometimes in the past they've extended the 'no questions asked return' but only Apple can tell you for sure.

  • How do i find out my iPhone's original purchase date?

    I bought it used from eBay and don't know when the owner bought it. It has warranty util July 21 and i want to extend it, so i want to buy AppleCare. One AppleCare it says it will extend the warranty for two year since the original purchase date. So how do i find out if i can buy AppleCare for my iPhone or not and how long would it cover my iPhone for?

    You don't need to know the original purchase date (though it will be one year prior to the date of warranty expiration). You have until July 21st, the day when the warranty expires, to purchase and register an AppleCare plan, presuming you can still find the original plan. Apple no longer sells that plan; they sell only AppleCare+ which has to be purchased at or within 30 days of the original purchase. But some dealers still have the retail AppleCare for iPhone package available.
    If you can find and register the original AppleCare, it will be in effect until July 20th, 2013.

  • With the latest version of itunes, are you able to search your library by purchase date?

    With the latest version of itunes, are you able to search your library by purchase date?  My prior itunes software had Name, Time, Artist, Album, Genre, Rating, Plays and Purchased.  With Version 11.0.3 of itunes, 'Purchased' is not a tabbed option to sort.  Can this be added?
    Thanks.

    Hey jeffwcincy,
    Great question, we simply need to check "Purchased Date" from the View Options menu.
    In iTunes 11, click the "View" menu and choose "Show View Options". Located under "Stats" is the "Purchase Date" option.
