Quotation and Purchasing Requisition causing problem

Dear all,
I need to seek your advise.
It is causing problems in the supply chain that quatations and purchace requisitions is causing production order creation in the workshop at the distribution center and in the SAP factories.
We would really want these two order types/demands isn't valid for the production planning as it is often result in production where orders never are converted.
Questions:
1 - Is it advisable to exclude these two demands (i.e. Quotation/PR) from production point of views? if no, why, what's the reason?
2 - Either Yes or no on question 1, would it be possible to exclude these as demands for production so that only actual orders causes production order creation from the system config?
3 - If question no.1 is "Not advisable", what is the alternative solution to solve our problem (i.e. it is often result in production where orders never are converted).
Thanks.

1) I would like to ensure that our Quotation (MM/SD)/ PR (SD derived PR example drop ship, and MM derived PR, example STO PR) to be excluded as demand during MRP run. And the best way is to use the BADI - MD_CHANGE_MRP_DATA. Is that correct?
Yes the BADI is provided as the exclusion of these demands in planning is not considered as standard & hence the enhancement.
2) Does this BADI- MD_CHANGE_MRP_DATA work for exclusion of Quotation as demand as well?
I have written code in this BADI to exclude Stock Transfer PR, but not for quotation so cant speak from experience on that. But I am sure one of the methods in that BADI should cover that. Discuss with your abaper & he / she will let you know which method will cover this need
3) Any other way?
To the best of what I know usage of BADI is the only option to prevent planning of demands coming from STO's. But the other way would be, to work with PO - SO kind of concept i.e. the plant which requires a part from another plant will raise a PO, this will then have to manually entered in the other plant as a SO (But note, creating sales order for plants within same company code will violate some norms in Finance, so check with your FI-CO colleagues)

Quotation and Purchase requisition

Hello to everyone,
with the transaction ME57 you can assign an existing contract to a purchase requisition. Is there any similar transaction to assign an existing quotation to a purchase requisition?
Regards

Hi Ignaciohsg ,
Quotation cannot be treated as a source during optimized purchasing:
The following are the different sources :
Outline Agreement
Inforecord
Plant
Quota Arrangement

Refrence number in Production order and purchase requisition

Dear All
This is MTO scenerio where sales order is created with refernce to quotation,
Subsequently in MRP run it creating sales order reservation for quotation number not sales for sales order number
similarly while creating purchase requisition it is displaying refernce number as quotation number
My requirement is instead of quotation number sales order number should display in production order and purchase requisition
All answers r suitably rewarded
regards

Hi
Pl check schedule line category you have set for quotation.
In sch. line for quotation remove checkmark for transfer of requirement and remove automatic Pr generation.
This will give required result.

Purchase order and purchasing requisition .

Hi
What is the difference between Purchase order and Purchase requisition . ?
And why cube are different for them ?
Regards

A purchase requisition is an internal document that's created to initiate a procurement transaction. The requisition is created to identify the materials that are needed to be acquired and when they're needed. Once completed by the initiator, it's sent to the appropriate approvers.
Upon approvals of the requsition have been provided, and a vendor is selected, a purchase order is created. The purchase order is an external document whereby an agreement is made to procure the materials at an agreed upon price and delivery schedule
The InfoCubes for each of these is different due to the nature of the documents (internal v. external).

TS3579 I found this useful because I did not know about the effect of typing in data and that you could only drag to rearrange the data. I had typed in data before and this had caused problems but restoring defaults did not cause correct dates to show up

I found this (TS3579: If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac Learn about If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac) useful because I did not know about the effect of typing in data and that you could only drag to rearrange the data. I had typed in data before and this had caused problems but restoring defaults did not cause correct dates to show up in Finder.

It sounds like there are a couple things going on here. First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance. Once you find this, make sure the service is started.
If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error. If you get an error, post the error message your hitting. If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect. If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
name in the connection dialog. Ex: "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name. However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format. Ex: COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
is the instance name you set during install).
You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install. Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

Questions on Rules-Based ATP and Purchase Requisitions for STOs

Hello experts,
We are working on rules-based ATP configuration and have several questions about the functionality. Iu2019m hoping that some of you are using this functionality and can help give us direction.
In our environment we have multiple distribution centers and multiple manufacturing plants. We want to confirm sales orders against stock and production orders in any of those plants, depending on the locations that have stock or planned production. For example, we will place a sales order against plant A. If there is not enough stock in plant A then rules-based ATP will use location determination to check in plant B, then C. The scope of check on the ATP check will include stock and released production orders. We will configure plant A as the u201Cconsolidation locationu201D so if stock is found in plants B or C then stock transport orders will automatically be created to move the stock to plant A before shipping to the customer.
We have configured rules-based ATP and this functionality is working well in our Development system. The ATP check is executed and uses the rules-based ATP to find eligible stock in other plants. The system is also creating purchase requisitions to move the stock to the consolidation plant.
Our first concern is that there doesnu2019t appear to be any firm linkage between the sales order and the resulting purchase requisition. For example, if we create sales order 123 for plant A and the rules-based ATP finds stock in plant B it automatically creates a purchase requisition 987 to move the stock from plant B to plant A. However, there doesnu2019t appear to be a linkage between sales order 123 and purchase requisition 987. For instance, if we delete sales order 123 the purchase requisition doesnu2019t get deleted.
Our second concern is that the quantity on the purchase requisition can still be confirmed against later sales orders. For example, say the above scenario resulted in a purchase requisition 987 that consumed all the stock available in plant B. We then create a second sales order 456 for the same product. Plant A is out of stock so the rules-based ATP looks in plant B. We would expect that plant B would also not have any stock because itu2019s all been consumed by the purchase requisition. Instead, the system creates a second purchase requisition to move quantity from plant B to plant A. Itu2019s as if the system doesnu2019t realize that the purchase requisition 987 is already planning to move stock out of plant B.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on these two scenarios? Is there a way to configure the system so there is a hard linkage between the sales order and the purchase requisition so that if the sales order is deleted then the purchase requisition is also deleted? Should ATP realize that purchase orders are consuming inventory and not allow later sales orders to confirm against that same inventory? Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
The scheduling is done in SCM, and from there, whenever the RBA is triggered, the calculation is done always with the old route in SCM. Until you get back to R/3 this is when your route is determined. But the ATP check is always with the original route. So the idea would be that you change the values of the route while still in APO, this is possible via the user exit. Should be done in scheduling in APO.
Hope this information is helpful.

Purchase Requisition Release Problem

Hi All,
I have a release procedure set up, and the strategy pulls up correctly when a PR is made. When I view collective release from ME55, the PR's show up, and I am able to release line items from that screen. However, when viewing the PR from ME53N, in the Release Procedure tab there is no green check next to the release code with which to release the line. Also, if I do release the PR from ME55, I cannot go to ME53N and cancel the release from the Release Procedure tab.
I am a user with all security access, so it is not an authorization role problem. The release group is also configured to release by line item, so that is not the problem. I have set up other release procedures which allow the release/cancel release function from ME53N before... what could be the problem this time?
Thanks,
J

hi.
There are two ways of releasing purchase requisitions:
Individual release (Tcode - ME54)
You release items of an individual purchase requisition or - if the requisition has to be released in total - by releasing one item you simultaneously release all the others.
Collective release (Tcode- ME55)
You release all requisition items or complete requisitions that are awaiting processing by your release code. This is the preferred method if you frequently have to effect release.
Display PR -with release status (Tcode-ME53N)
One can only see release status in ME53N & can not change release.
hope it helps to you.

Link tables of Sales Order and Purchase Requisition

Hi,
thru which tables we can get the data of purchase requistion for a sales order.
regards,
balu

Dear Balu,
the fields VBEP-BANFN and VBEP-BNFPO are filled in the third-party process only. It means that there is 1:1 connection between the schedule line of the sales order and the purchase requisition. In the third-party process during saving the sales order the purchase requisition is created automatically and is linked to the order.
If the fields are empty, it means, you have no third-party process and no 1:1 connection between the sales order and the purchase requisition. Probably the sales order created normal requirements, which generate purchase requisition(s) after MRP run. In this case you cannot see the purchase requisition from the sales order as there is no 1:1 connection. You have no chance to get the data from sales order to the purchase requisition.
The only possibility which you (may be, it depends on the process) have, is to find sales order numbers from the purchase requisition: so to develop the process backwards. These data are stored in the database table EBKN: Purchase Requisition Account Assignment.
Please use the following fields:
EBKN-BANFN - Purchase requisition number (key field)
EBKN-BNFPO - Item number of purchase requisition (key field)
EBKN-LOEKZ - Deletion indicator in purchasing document (key field, can be helpful)
The corresponding sales orders are stored in:
EBKN-VBELN - Sales Document Number
EBKN-VBELP - Sales Document Item
EBKN-VETEN - Schedule line number
I hope, this information will help you further and will solve your problem.

Is there any ECC report with PurchOrder and Purchase Requisition Selection

Hi there,
for one of my BI report reconciliation with ECC requirement, I would like to know how many POs are there without Purchase requisitions, same way want to know how many POs are there with Purchase requisition.
I know some tables where we can find this info, unfortunately I cannot ask my user to go and check in Tables for Acceptance testing. So I am looking for any standard ECC report with POs and PRs as Columns
Due to time constraints, I cannot go build any ABAP queries in ECC at the moment,
Any insights are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Curious ,
Check if the following link is helpful. The link is from the SDN Wiki for creating a Z Report in R/3 for Purchase Requisition.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/PurchaseRequisitionDetail+Report
Or try the following transactions:
ME5A - Purchase Requisitions: List Display
ME53 - Display Purchase Requisition
ME53N - Display Purchase Requisition
Hope this helps your cause.

Attach Quotation to Purchase Requisition

Hi experts,
Think this is a simple qn for you guys.
Other than using Document Management, is there any other ways i can attach a document (scanned quotation) to a purchase requisition? If yes, how?
Thanks

hi,
There are three ways i see:
1. Enter the quotation in item details screen as a source...
2. Use the document overview ....
3. Make use of source determination from item details in the PO...
OR
can be done indirectly...use the quotation in the inforecord and then use the inforecord as a source....
Anything else revert back...
