Required start date in a services purchase requisition. How?

When hiring equipment (eg. a tower wagon), it is required to specify in the purchase requisition on what date the equipment needs to be available and on what date the equipment needs to be picked up again. So basically, the required start and end date of a service need to be captured in the purchase requisition (and copied to the PO and subsequently sent to the vendor).
The end date of the service is already recorded in the delivery date field. The start date can be entered in the item text. But since it is required to report on the start date of services, it is desirable to record the start date in a separate field in the purchase requisition. This way a list could be created with all the equipment that should have been made available by the vendor on a certain date.
Does anybody have any good suggestions on how to make such a 'required start date' field available? N.B. To make things more complex, the requisitions are raised in Plant Maintenance, so ideally the start date would be filled from the PM-order too.

The validity dates in the PO are maintained at header level. The required start and end date for an equipment should be maintained on item level, as there can be multiple items in one PO each with different start and end dates.
Also, the validity end date in the PO has the functionality that "No further service entry sheets can be created after this date." It is very common that a Service entry sheet is raised after the hire period is ended.
So using the validity dates in the PO is not a good option.

How to de-activate Qty and Price fields for Service purchase requisition

Dear all,
We have a request to de-activate (leave it as "Display") the fields of quantity and gross price when changing a service purchase requisition of a specific document type.
In example: We want that purchase requisition type NB, allows in change mode (ME52 or ME52N) to change the quantity and gross price of the services. On the other hand, these two fields must be only visible for order type ZNB. Besides this must be happening only for services.
Changing PT9 or PT9B will affect also the creation, and if we only configure based on transacction and document type does not work.
Any help will be highly appreciatted.
Cheers

Hi,
You may have to write a output requirement routine and assign the same to the output type in NACE.
But i don't think you will get the old and new data of Purchase order in requirement routine (program : SAPLV61B). You may have to export the data into memory from either a BADI method or User exit and then import the same in requirement routine.

Material Number mandatory for PR exceptP for Service Purchase Requisition

Hi All,
Our client's new requirement is we need to give material number mandatory for Purchase Requisition. But it should not affect for Service Purchase Requisition (as we don't have material number with material type DIEN. Till now, we were using Acc Assignment Category K and Item Category D with only Short Text description). We have separate document type for Service Purchase Requisition(ZSRV).
In order to make Material number mandatory, in PR, we need to give in "Define Screen Layout at Document Level for PR",right? Is there any way to give, "Material Number Mandatory at Document Type Level"?
Please suggest.
Regards,
rosh

hi sridhar,
Thank you for your answer. So as you said, there is no possibility to make material number as mandatory at DOCUMENT TYPE level through Customzining, right?

Converting Service Purchase requisition to Purchase order

Hi,
In our scenario the service requsitions are generating from Project order (PS module). We have to give multiple purchase orders against this service purchase requisition. System is not allowing to do so.
Viv

Hi,
***As you creates purchase orders in ME21N WRT Purchase requisitions
***Use t.code:ME5A & execute by entering u201CProcessing status u2013 B u201Cin dynamic selection--> Purchase requisition.
***As you needed restrict PO creation with more than PR Quantity and set error message follow path:
SPRO->Materials Management->Purchasing->Environment Data-->Define Attributes of System Messages
06 076 as Error messages.
when all the PR quantity already converts to PO, system will not allow to create a another PO from that same PR again.

Service Purchase Requisitions not being transferred

Dear Experts,
I'm not able to transfer the service purchase requisitions with service master but it is working fine for standard purchase requisitions with material master in SRM 7.0 using report bbp_exttransfer_req. Also how to address different purchasing organization and purchase groups with different company codes and plants, as the transferred PR is being defaulted by the channel values in the srm organizational structure. For Service purchase requisitions I'm receiving error as " Define Transaction type for local system" in the srm system and in ecc it is as ANOENTRY.
Note : Apart from using BBP_DOC_CHANGE BADI looking for a standard way of meeting this requirment.
Thanks and Regards,
Venkata Koppisetti.

Hi
Follwoing is what I can think in your scenario:
1. Check if the service master is replcated from ECC to SRM, if at all you have service master in your ECC PR.
2. Maintian all the Org. structre elements of ECC(PUR org, Pur grp and Co.Code) of ECC in SRM using transaction PPOCA_BBP. This will take care the same Pur. Group you have on PR of ECC will also moved into SRM documents(RFx or SC sent to SOCO).
3. Since your syaing you are getting an error for define transaction type, check in the attribute "Define transaction" has been mainiantiend.

Required Start date in Notification

Hi All,
Maint order is assigned as a call object for a maint plan. After scheduling the maint order is generated with the basic date as per the planned date in maint plan. But the notification generated along with the order has the required start date same as that of the notification generated date (due to call horizon) instead of the planned date in maint plan. Kindly give me the config steps to set the notification reqd start date as per the planned date in maint plan.

Hi Pushpa,
Thx.,
I had done that.
But i'm getting it right only when the priority in maint plan is not selected.
If priority is selected then i'm getting it wrong...
Kindly revert back !

QM_Control on Required start date in quality notifications

Dear QM experts,
Requirement is,
For Q2 notification type the entries in required start date filed (QMEL-STRMN) to be restricted in such a way so that user can not do entry for last month.
Foe example,
1.     Today is June 12, 2009. If a user is creating Q2 notification today he/she may change the required start date in the past but not before 1st June 2009.
2.     User should be in a position to enter back date in required filed only for the current month
3.     The concept is just similar to period closing activities.
I tried through SPRO-Quality Management-Quality notifications-Notification creation u2013Notification types-Define screen templates-Field Selection: General Screens. Here there is facility to make the field grey, hide or required. One of the limitations is that this is client level setting.
Can the requirement be mapped for particular plant and for perticular notification type?
Thanks is advance
Best Regards,
Anand Rao

Dear Anand
Here are some of the thoughts. Please check and then come back with your feedback
1) Make Priority button mandatory for Q2 notification .VIQMEL-PRIOK. You can do only for Notification type Q2 by using the influencing fields
2) Make required date in grey so that no changes can be done . do this notification Q2
2) Maintain QM priorities SPRO >Quality Notifications > Notification Processing>Response Control> Define Priorities
3) Maintain Priorities in the QM priority in the same config
When you set the priority in the notification required from and end date is updated in the system automatically
4) Use this exit QQMA0018 Deadline setting based on entered priority to make sure that always the date doesnt fall on past date
Hope this gives some idea

Service purchase requisition/order with Material group optional

Is it possible to create a purchase requisition/order with item category D (services) without entering any material group?
We would like to enter only the G/L account but not the material group.

Hi,
It is not possible to create PR/PO without material / Service group & Item catagory D.
Better create service groups like material group which will help you for reports also.

Hi,
Yes, possible to create automatic Service PO from Service PR.You need to activate for Service auto- PO, Automatic Purchase order creation for Service requisitions in ML91. Create info record based on Material Group. For Automatic PO , info record is mandatory{ with other setting as material auto PO like example like all setting we do in material master & vendor master etc...).

Purchase Requisition Date is not updated with Scheduleline Delivery Date

Hi,
This is a third part Sales Scenario. The Delivery date on the schedule line is passed on to purchase requisition as the delivery date of that item. Due to some business requirement, the delivery date of the schedule line is changed just before saving the sales order in the BADI called through the userexit userexit_save_document_prepare. Now on saving the sales order, the purchase requsition is also created.The delivery date of the schedule line is changed but has not reflected on the Purchase Requision.
If the Sales Order is opened in VA02 and the schedule line delivery date is modified, the Purchase Requisition delivery date is also getting modified.
Why did it not happen at the time of saving the Sales Order.
What is the structure into which the purchase requsition information is stored, so that on processing the sales order, this information is utilized to create the purchase requsition.
Please help.

Hi,
Check the following table for the mentioned fields EBAN-BADAT and EBAT-FRGDT

Delivery date mandatory in Purchase requisition .

Hi all,
I want to make the delivery date mandatory in the purchase Requisition and currently the current date is defaulted there , i want that nothing should be there initially.
Please provide the configuration setting.
Regards,
Kapil.

Hi,
U can make the delivery date field as mandatory in PR , by setting delivery date field as required entry in PR sscreen layout in customization.
Go to SPRO- MM - Purchasing - PR- Define screen layout at doc level - ME51N - Deadline monitoring - Delivery date ( Make this field as reqd entry ) and save it.
And regarding ur second question the default date should be blank, the date gets calculated here based on the planned del time maintained in materila master in MRP2 view.
So if the date showing is todays date when u r creating PR today means, the planned delivery time maintained in MMR is zero days.
