Purchasing Info Record and Source list

Hi all,
I am using purchasing info record along with a price for the vendor and material. This would get the net price into the Purchase order. Do i really need to create source list ? What will source list do for me ? Wouldn't having info record be sufficient ?
Looking forward to hear your suggestions.
Thank you.
Joyce

Hi Joyce,
If you have not maintained valid conditions in your Pur info record then price is picked from last purchase order through purchase order price history if customizing settings allow so (In your case if customizing settings allow and the net price 100 in the info record is not from valid conditions, price picked will be 250).
In the price determination process in PO system always first looks for pur info records with valid conditions if not found then it looks for last PO price.
There is also a parameter for default values for buyers called EVO. If you make settings in customizing for this parameter and tick the Chkbox for picking the last purchase order price in it and you attach this parameter to your user ID in the user-own data with PI value, then last PO price is picked as default value in the net price.

Source List -
The source list is used in the administration of sources of supply. It specifies the allowed (and disallowed) sources of a material for a certain plant within a predefined period. Each source is defined by means of a source list record.
The source list serves:
To define a source of supply as "fixed". Such sources count as preferred sources over a certain period of time.(For example, the fixed vendor for material 1 is X for the first quarter and Yfor the second quarter of the year.)
To define a source of supply as "blocked".(This means, for example, that contract 123 may not be used for a certain period of time.)
As an aid in selecting the preferred source during the source determination process.(For example, the vendor A is determined as the source for an item of a requisition dated 15th June relating to material 1.)
To block the external procurement of a material

Info record and source list mandatory for PO creation?

Hi Gurus,
Client wants to make Info record and source list mandatory for PO creation?
If Inforec and source list not available for that material, then user can't able to create PO.
How can I achieve this requirement?
Any user exit available?
pls help..

Hi ,
SproMM-Purchasing -Source ListDefine Source List Requirement at Plant Level
If u mark the indicator then the Source list is mandatory for all the materials procured.
If u want for a speciic material , mark it in purchasing view of Material Master.
Inorder to create a source list , inforecord is mandatory -- this is by default Standard SAP .

BRFplus and creation of info record and source list

Hi there.
I would like to use BRFplus to fill out MM values and after that automaticly create info record and source list for this MM record. The first step is ok, but creating IR and Sourcelist I am not sure. What is the best way to do so?
-> Calling FM? If so how should I use the Result Data Object and Dispatcher field in BRFplus?
Thanks in advance.
Per Zanchetta

Hi,
Yes could call FM using BRF+ Procedure Call-Function Module. And map the exporting parameter (results of FM) to BRF+ ruleset parameter and do the further processing.
When you assign FM name then in below container UI you can add all required parameters using "Add Parameter" button.

Info record and source list

Hi
We have two info records for one material and source list is not being maintained.
What will be the implications in this scenario??
Regards
Chitra

Hi,
If two info. record exists and none of them are marked a fixed vendor, then at the time of PR creation you will be offered two sources for the material and you will have to manually choose one source.
Hope this clears your doubt.
Thanks,

Purchase info record and Contract are not reflected in SC

Hi...
while i am creating a shopping cart in SRM for a particular product... i am not able to find the Purchase info record or Contract in SC - Source of supply tab...
I maintained the Purchase info record and Contract for the particular material in Backend(4.7n).
Plz throw some lights on this...
thx....

Hi
if you are using classic scenario it might have dispalyed in SOS.
check info records/contracts are existed in backend for your product in srm?
is your cart is special request(describe requirement ) or internal goods and services?
if you are in ecs mode. it is not possible to see your inforecord/ backend contract in srm sos window

Info Recs and Source List

Hi Experts
I want to be able create a Source List for a small number of non valuated Material Masters which will be available when creating a P Req. The P Req will be priced by the creator and the P Req prices should flow through to the P Ord when adopted without being overwritten by an info rec price or previous P Ord price. Do you have any thoughts on this ?
Thanks in anticipation
Digidick

I doubt if standard SAP supports your required process, because SAP always give a first preference to Price Conditions from Info Record to fetch into PO..
If the Info record is available, SAP will not fetch the price from PR into PO.
However, you can look for any BAPI or OSS note

Purchase Info record mandatory to create PO/SA

Hi,
Please tell me the user exit in PO to make Purchase Info record mandatory to create Purchase Order or Scheduling Agreement (only for material with material code). No PO/SA for material should be created without any Purchase Info record maintenance.
Thanks

With out this, system won't allow further.

Info Record n Src list

Hi SAP Experts,
Cud u tell me the individual significance of
Info records and source list.
Regards
Ashok

Hi
Info record consists of all the information which is discussed with the vendor on a verbal basis
All this information is captured and stored in the info record. It captures information for a particular material wrt t oa particualr vendor
These are again 4 types
1) Standard -cpntains information for std PO created for materials and services which have/do not have master records
2) consignment: contains infomration about thematerial which are kept at orders premises at vendors own cost.it conatins the vendor with drawl price by the orderer from the consignment stock
3) Subcontracting: mainly consisits of ordering information for subcontract orders.contains info aobut the vendors subcontracting pricve for assembling the component
4) Pipeline: contains inf oabout vendors commodity that is supplied through pipes like water ,oil etc
This also has information additionla info like reminder days ,planned dwelivery time etc
And all these are discussed with the vendor well in advance,. These are entered into Iinfo record so tht there would be less of manual entry during procurement process
Source list :
source list mainly contains the infromation about the list of vendors who are available for that particular material
It captures atheinformation about al the vendors who have an agreement with that particualar Porg
i hope this gives you a fair idea
Award if useful

Purchasing info records for PO-items without material master

Hi gurus,
I would like to have the system automatically determine certain settings (e.g. reminder/urging data).
For PO-items with material master there is no problem, because all information can be stored in the purchasing info record, and are automatically found when I enter the material number.
For items without material number/master I tried to generate a info record for the material group. When I enter the no. of the info record, everything works fine. But the info record is not automatically found, if I only enter the material group no.
Is there any way to make the system find the info record by itself?
Thanks
Alicia

Thanks to both of you!
Priyanka:
How can you create a source list for a material group? I thought this was possible for materials only!?
Of course, you cannot have more than one info record at a time for a material group. But one would be enough for me...
Dhruba:
Thanks for the advice, but I know how to manually select a info record. The point is, I'd like to have the system determine it according to the material group I enter.
Any other ideas?
Alicia

Purchasing Info Record marked for deletion

Hi experts,
I need some explanation on Purchasing Info Records and more precisely on the deleted ones.
Could you tell me why a Purch. Info Record that is marked for deletion is still set when a PO is created?
In ME13 I have the following warning message : 06-718 (Purchasing info record & & & & flagged for deletion).
In ME21N the same message is displayed as warning and users are able to save the PO with the deleted Info Record.
I don't understand why SAP still retrieves Info Records that are marked for deletion...
Is there a way to prevent SAP from using deleted info records?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Philippe

Hi Philippe,
The message 06718 can be set as an error or warning in customising.
If message 06718 is set as error then system will not allow to save
the document with that info record.
The deletion indicator is the reservation to delete this record. But
this is not comparable with the deletion of the record from the database
This has to be done within the archiving run for the object MM_EINA.
Untill this inforecord is not archived the data is taken as usual."
Online documentation provides the following information
"You cannot delete obsolete info records immediately. You can
only flag them for subsequent deletion. Info records earmarked for
deletion in this way are not actually deleted until the archiving
program is run. This is done at regular intervals by your system
administrator. You can flag an individual info record for deletion,
or create a list of deletion proposals and choose the relevant records
that are to be deleted from this list."
Kind regards,
Lorraine

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.

Linking document info record and purchase order

Hi all,
I hope that someone can help me because I'm having a problem with creating links between document info records and purchase orders.
By default in SAP I can create links between document info record and purchase order ITEMS! When I create that link, I can see it in document info record under Object links tab, but when I double click on the number of purchase order nothing happens (I expected that this purchase order will open).
Why is that so?
Why can't I access purchase order from document info record even though the link exists?
The other question is about creating object links to purchase orders, not purchase order items! Is it possible to link document info record with purchase order?
I would appreciate quick answer because we're in the middle of a project and we're stuck with that problem.
Thanks!

Hi Karlo,
As you mentioned, object links could be linked to Purchase order items. In customisation you maintain these entries under the node SPRO > Cross Application Components> Document Management--> Control Data --> Define Document Types --> Define Object Links.
There are many links in the standard system (possible entries).
The system automatically determines the screen number (dialog box) where the key data for the object is maintained for document maintenance.
You can check the screens when the screen entry is missing or contains errors by doing the following:
Start the Object Navigator and display the objects for the development class CV.
Expand the function group 130. The structure nodescreens lista all screens that can be used for object links.
You can make an object link to SAP objects that are not shown in the possible entries list. To do this, proceed as follows:
In the standard system, there are already two special screens for the module pools SAPLCV130 and SAPLCV140 for the linked SAP object.
You must create two new screens with the same number for the module pools SAPLCV130 and SAPLCV140 .
The processing logic must follow that of screen 1204 in program SAPLVC130.
Create function module OBJECT_CHECK_XXXX (XXXX = object name)
If the object can be classified, this function module already exists .
Otherwise copy the function module for linking equipment DOCUMENT_CHECK_EQUI and change it as required for the new object.
Hope the above instruction helps in solving your problem,
Sojan

Info Record and Purchase Req

I created a purchase Req and when and I have following doubts in this.
1. Once I entered plant itu2019s automatically populating storage location. Material maintained for different storage locations but I am not sure how it's populating specific one.
2. One I click on source of supply it shows me different info record and I selected one of the info record for assigning the source. How this process is different from mE57.To me both look same.
3. I created the PO and I entered different price then info record and my info update was checked but still it didn't update info record with new price. Any suggestion why?
Thanks

hi,
1. You would be maintaining the MRP view of the MMR....Never forget the possible assignment for the Plant to the storage location is provided in the SPRO enterprise structure for the MM....
2. Yes the process is merely same...Also never forget that there may be many inforecords for the vendor material, based on the different organisatinal levels provided and for its combinations...
3. THe price never gets updated in the info record, but always the PO price history gets updated...you can see the PO price history in transaction ME1P...
