Release procedure setup for changed Purchase orders

Hello All,
I have below scenario
1. After PR creation, it will be approved. and get converted to PO. At this time no need for approval (release) again. But once the same PO has been changed it should be subjected for release (approval). Can we have release strategy setup which will get trigger only when PO is changed.
2. Similarly, if PO is created without PR, then it should get subjected to release.
How can we configure the above business process in the SAP system?

Hi,
Do you have version mangement active in your system for PO's . If you have then you can use the filed CEKKO - REVNO
Maintain the Character Value as > 0,
So any PO whose version number goes above 0 , the relase strategy will trigger.
If not, then first of all you have to configure Version Management.
Go to SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Set Up Version Management for External Purchasing Documents > Here activate Version Management for the PO Doc Types you want. Here activate the following indicators.
Version active
Version 0 OK
So whenever PO will get created the Version 0 will get activated automatically. And whenever you change PO, it will generate versions 1,2,3 and so on.
Now in PO Release Characteristics use Field CEKKO-REVNO
And in "Clasification", maintain value > 0 (Greater than Zero)
And then check in ME21N, release strategy will not be applicable but for ME22N, it will get applied.

SRM 7.0 Output for changed purchase order documents

Hi all,
if we change purchase orders we like to send a PO output document for changed purchase orders only if we change certain PO fields in header or items.
What is the functionality in PO - Header - Output - Order and Send Immediatelly ? We thought that this function is the solution!
But independent we press the button <Order and Send Immediatelly > or button <Order> the system creates allways an output document in any cases of PO field changes which will be sent to a supplier (fax, email). How we can control that a PO document only will be created in cases we define ?
Kind Regards
Edited by: Hermann-Josef Wessels on Mar 28, 2011 6:53 PM

Hi Jay,
we like to control the output because PO changes for G/L account, cost centre or change from account assigment order to cost centre are not interesting for the supplier and in this cases a PO document should not be sent to the supplier. This was the main reason why we like to use function <Order and Send Immediatelly>.
So I would like to clarify the requirement:
1. Automatic created output document if a new PO will be created
2. Automatic created output document if a PO will be changed but no output if the following fields will be changed:
e.g. for G/L account, cost centre or change from account assigment order to cost centre
So we come back in our discussion to table: BBPV_COMP_FIELDS. There are entries for POO = PO Output and POR = Version comparison for Purchase Order.
Question: Can I use structure name: BBP_PDS_ACC for our requirement. If yes which field-names I have to maintain in detail in this table. If possible I need the entries in detail.
Kind Regards

BAPI or FM for changing Purchase Order

Hi,
Does anybody know a BAPI or FM to change Purchase Order item details. I looked for a BAPI but only found for creating and listing.
thanks.

I think this is becuase the BAPI for PO change has not been "released". If you use transaction BAPI, then click the filter button, then select "All", the PO change bapi will appear int he MM-> purchasing-> purchase order hierarchy. (BAPI_PO_CHANGE)
Although it is not officially "released", neither is the function module to do the same task. We use the BAPI on a regular basis, and it works fine. I think unreleased just means you will get no support if you use it, and SAP can change it at any time.
I am not sure what makes a BAPI go from un-released to released...

LSMW issue using BAPI for changing Purchase Order G/L Account

Wonder if anyone can help as I'm tearing my hair out!!
Have used LSMW lots of times using the transaction recorder, but tried using a BAPI as we have a mass update to do of G/L Accounts for Purchase Orders and it seems the tidiest and most efficient way to do it.
Got my LSMW project working as a test by changing the Short Text on a purchase order, this works fine. However, when I add the Account Assignment details in (Structure E1BPMEPOACCOUNT and E1BPMEACCOUNTX) everything seems to run fine, the IDOC posts and gives message 'Document xxx changed'. Yet when I look into the order it hasn't actually changed the G/L.
If I go into the purchase order in change mode in another session and run the LSMW again it recognises the purchase order is locked so it seems to be doing everything right, just not updating the G/L Account field. Anyone got any ideas ? It updated the short text fine so I'm sure everything is set up OK but for some reason it ignores the G/L that I upload. Anything relating to the Account Assignment (Unloading Point, GR, Cost Center) just gets ignored if I try and upload a change.
I seem to be so close it seems a shame not to be able to get it sorted !!!
Thanks,

Hi Helen,
Just wondering whether you have found solution to your issue.
We also encounter the same issue and have implemented the note without any positive result.

Possibilities for changing purchase order print behavior

Hello guys,
I'm kind of new in SAP MM and I had to deal with PDF formula for purchase order. Now I have some questions about what is possible to change behavior for printing data in purchase order print.
First of all we're using our own PDF formula which is a little bit like standard formula MEDRUCK_PO. We're using programm SAPFM06P with routine ADOBE_ENTRY_NEU, no changes in SAP standard behavior were made.
Everyhting works fine with that but we sometimes have some special cases where our user wants some other behavior. Can you please say if it is possible and if so where to do that? (Customizing, formula itself)
1. Changes in purchase order positions -> We have for example 4 purchase order positions. Now for one of them the price has changed. When printing formula then, you only see the changed order position. When you want to see all, user has to change some detail in every of the other positions, thats pretty annoying.
2. Header text 'Changes in purchase order' -> Sometimes the header text is displayed as 'Changes in purchase order', sometimes as "normal" 'Purchase order'. I know it has something to do with status (field DRUVO) of purchase order, but its not clear when which status is set. Any help? :-)
3. Deleted positions -> How is the standard behavior when a position is deleted? I think it will not be listed anymore in the positions printout. Anyway I can control it by catching LOEKZ field. But how is it with the total value field in sum data. I think it still is the whole value including the deleted positions. Is this changeable?
I know there is some customizing in SPRO -> Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Messages
but I'm not quite sure how it works :-(
Can anyone enlight me? :-)
Thanks a lot.
Regards
Michael

SAP can differentiate between a new created purchase order and an existing purchase order that only got changed.
Based on that it can be customized whether you print the full purchase order or only the part that was changed, and accordingly you may get different texts on your form (... 'Changes in purchase order', sometimes as "normal" 'Purchase order'.)
A deletion of a PO item is as well a change. If you decided to print only a change message, then you get a print having the item number and a text *** item deleted *** or similar based on your customizing.
But if you decided to print the full PO in both cases (creation and change), then you get the full PO but the deleted item is no longer among them and no hint either that it was deleted..
Basically this setting is made in SPRO -> Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Messages -> Output Control -> Message Types -> Define Message Types for Purchase Order

Adding a new check box in change purchase order screen

Hi
I have to add one custom field a check in the screen for change purchase order in EBP.
We are using ITS.
Kindly advice.
Thanks and Regards
Manoj

Hello Manoj,
you can define Customer Fields (CUF) at header, item, accounting level on any document type (including PO).
Adding seach fields acts as old ABAP method of table append, i.e. those fields are stored in standard SRM tables. So you can process your own logic and checks against those fields.
There is a BADI to control the display or not, the input or not, the default or input values.
There is a BADI to control the ergonomy of CUF (by default they are added one after the other after standard fields).
There have been many posts about CUF and linked OSS notes explaining own it works and which includes to use.

Inbound Idoc Create/Change Purchase Order

Hi All,
I have to do a inbound Idoc scenario for create as well as change Purchase Order.
Which is the IDoc type for Create/Change purchase order.
I went through this form found that ORDERS05 can be used but I am not sure this can be used for both create as well change Purchase Order.
If ORDERS05 can be used then which is Process code,Function Module and Message type for both create and change Purchase order.
I also found that IDoc type PORDCR102 can be used for create Purchase order and PORDCH02 can be used for change Purchase order,but i don't want to use two Idoc types.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
John

Hi John,
For creating a IDoc for PO, whenever a PO is created/Changed, it has to be configured in Parter Profile(WE20) for a particular Partner in Outbound Paramtrs tab.
Give ORDERS05 in Message Type and select the line & go to Display.
In the screen which appears , choose tab Message Control and give the Process code
ME10 - Creation of PO
ME11 - Changes to PO & check the Change Message.
Give respective Output Message Type & Application(VF) for PO.
Create Output types for a vendor in T.Code MN04, else take help from MM Consultant.
Create a PO & save. Then make some changes in Po & again save.
Now IDoc will be created while saving the Po & IDocs will be created whenver you make changes to PO and saving it.
Hope It helps.

Anbalagan

Urgent - How to change Item category for Open Purchase Order

Hi Team,
Lil bit tricky issue.
My client has asked us to change the existing Item Category values, Combinations, Category Set etc. Its been changed and uploaded successfully.
The question here is how we need to handle the category for Open Purchase Order. How to update the same.
Do we need to do manually or any other way ?
Please advice
Regarads,
John

Hi John,
This is reallly a tricky issue!
I guess you cannot change the category of an existing PO's.
This field will be greyed out once we save the form...there were no profiles/other setups to enable this field.
For all new PO's since you have changed the new category value that should not be a issue.
Lets wait for some of our colleuges opinion.
I guess PO cancel should be the final option if we dont hear any new work arounds.
Thanks

I am unable to find the field or structure with which i can disable the generation of spool request.
Your help is much appreciated!

Richa,
you can replace 101 with your routine number. who said you cannot? in NACE, output procedure
the code in 101.
FORM KOBED_101.
LOOP AT XNAST WHERE KSCHL EQ KOMT1-KSCHL AND
                      OBJKY EQ MSG_OBJKY   AND
                      AKTIV EQ SPACE       AND
                      VSTAT EQ '0'.
    EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
CHECK SY-SUBRC NE 0.
SY-SUBRC = 4.
CHECK ( KOMKBEA-DRUVO EQ NEU OR KOMKBEA-DRUVO EQ AEND ).
CLEAR SY-SUBRC.
ENDFORM.
*       FORM KOBEV_101                                                *
FORM KOBEV_101.
LOOP AT XNAST WHERE KSCHL EQ T683S-KSCHL AND
                      OBJKY EQ MSG_OBJKY   AND
                      AKTIV EQ SPACE       AND
                      VSTAT EQ '0'.
    EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
CHECK SY-SUBRC NE 0.
SY-SUBRC = 4.
CHECK ( KOMKBEA-DRUVO EQ NEU OR KOMKBEA-DRUVO EQ AEND ).
CLEAR SY-SUBRC.
ENDFORM.
so you can copy the code from these forms, and keep them before your code in your custom routine,.. like:
FORM KOBED_901. "==> i am creating a new VOFM routine 901 here
LOOP AT XNAST WHERE KSCHL EQ KOMT1-KSCHL AND
                      OBJKY EQ MSG_OBJKY   AND
                      AKTIV EQ SPACE       AND
                      VSTAT EQ '0'.
    EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
CHECK SY-SUBRC NE 0.
SY-SUBRC = 4.
CHECK ( KOMKBEA-DRUVO EQ NEU OR KOMKBEA-DRUVO EQ AEND ).
CLEAR SY-SUBRC.
"==> from here add your code.
data:lv_subrc type sy-sibrc.
if xyz NE asdasd "==> your validations..
lv_subrc = 4.
endif.
sy-subrc = lv_subrc.
ENDFORM.
*       FORM KOBEV_901                                                *
FORM KOBEV_901.
LOOP AT XNAST WHERE KSCHL EQ T683S-KSCHL AND
                      OBJKY EQ MSG_OBJKY   AND
                      AKTIV EQ SPACE       AND
                      VSTAT EQ '0'.
    EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
CHECK SY-SUBRC NE 0.
SY-SUBRC = 4.
CHECK ( KOMKBEA-DRUVO EQ NEU OR KOMKBEA-DRUVO EQ AEND ).
CLEAR SY-SUBRC.

Whether Item Level release is possible in PO [Purchase Order] ?

Hai SAP Gurus,
Whether Item Level release is possible in PO [Purchase Order] ?
Guide me..

Hi,
In std sap system its not possible...
You can release at header level only..
Recheck it from here:
SPRO >> MM >> Purchasing >> PO >> release procedure...
Here there is no option provided for item wise release,...

PO release strategy ONLY for change

I have a requirement to only have a release strategy for a purchase order only when it is changed
The problem is that even if I can disable the event to be triggered when created, the release strategy is written down to the EKKO-table when the PO is created meaning that the purchase order still needs to be released before being used for example in MIRO.
How can I avoid having the release strategy written to the EKKO-table when the PO is created?
How can I have it written to the EKKO-table when it is changed?
Good answers will ofcourse be rewarded with points!
Edited by: Snowroller on Feb 11, 2012 4:00 PM

Dear,
Check this and try. Not tested.
Set up Version management for Purchase order and keep all relevant fields of PO relevant for version change.
Add charaecteristics PO_Version value as 00000001. So, When you create PO the version will be 0 so no release strategy. Whenever relevant fields changes the version changes to 0 to 1 and release strategy triggers.
Try this option.

Syed Hussain.
Forget to mention please search with 'PO release strategy based on Version Management in SAP' you will get many SDN posts.

How to set up automatic payment for the purchase order

Hi, All,
I have one question how to set up automatically payment for the Rent Office purchase Order?
There is the requirement from the client. They want to create one kind of purchase order for the Office Rent, then pay the fees in the certain time of every month to the vendor for the rent fees without any invoice. Whatu2019s the normal solution for this kind of purchase order? Is it ERS? Or something else?
Please give me the details and business flow. Also please tell me how to setup in the SAP and T-code.
Thanks in advance

Either you can set up ERS or you can pay directly from the FI side.
Prerequisites
Evaluated receipt settlement must be flagged in the purchase order item.
The vendor must be flagged as being subject to ERS in the vendor master record.
The goods receipt must refer to a purchase order.
Goods-receipt-based Invoice Verification must be defined for the purchase order item.
A tax code must have been maintained in the purchase order item.
The order price of the materials may not be an estimated price.
If you flag a vendor as being subject to ERS, the system sets the ERS indicator as a default in each item when you create a purchase order for the vendor. You can prevent this happening for certain vendors by flagging the info record for the material and the vendor as not being subject to ERS.
In Purchasing, you can delete the default ERS indicator in a purchase order item.
Choose Logistics Invoice Verification ® Automatic Settlement ® Evaluated Receipt Settlement (ERS).
The selection screen appears.
You can use the following criteria to narrow down selection of the transactions to be settled:
Company code
Plant
Goods receipt posting date
Goods receipt document
Fiscal year of the goods receipt
Vendor
Purchase order and order item
You can define the selection criteria for the invoice documents by:
Delivery
Purchase order
Purchase order item
Goods receipt document
Credit memo
Invoice
Currency
Choose Execute.
The system issues a log for Evaluated Receipt Settlement, which displays the following:
Settled
In line with your selection criteria, the system displays all the order items that were settled (or if you are working in test mode, which would have been settled).
Could not be settled
In line with your selection criteria, the system displays all order items for which ERS is defined but could not be settled. It also lists the reasons.
If the system reports being unable to invoice a transaction, you should exclude the transaction from ERS to avoid it being included in the log the next time ERS is run.
Select the item and choose Exclude from ERS.
The system also generates and possibly sends a message to inform the vendor(s) about the transaction settled, depending on the settings in Customizing.
You can display the following environment information for the order items selected. To do this, choose Goto ®:
Display purchase order
Display invoice
Display material document
Display long text
