Requirement node of Purchase Order in APO
Hi all,
I am testing a scenario.
Locations A(source) and B(target) are in same APO system but different R/3 systems.
I create a Purchase Req for a material on location B in APO. I can see the requirement and receipt nodes in Purchase requisition. Then, I trigger the conversion of PR to PO in APO or R/3. After conversion, the demand associated with the PO created does not appear on source location, it only appears on target location. is this normal? I searched OSS messages but I could not find a relevant one.
I created the corresponding entries in sapapo/locali transaction. I assigned source plant to vendor number and target plant to customer number.
I would appreciate if you can help.
Thanks,
Jenny
Hi,
I was in one of support project where this scenaio was working.
Here if you want to transfer demand at source location in ECC/R/3 when stock transfer requisition is created you can transfer the same as PIR by running backround job to transfer demand.
When you convert stock transfer requisition to purchase order in APO Purchase order gets transfered at receiving location only through APO. This Purchase order in ECC receiving location can trigger automatic sales order creation at supplying location through ALE/IDOC. This in turn gets transfered to APO. In APO as such there is no link between Purchase order at receiving location and sales order in supplying location. This link is there in ECC.
For automatic creation of sales order currosponding to purchase order certain settings are required to be done in ECC side. APO doesnot play any role in this.
For detail configuration setting you can check documentation in this link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/b3/d20c3c8cd2593ce10000000a114084/frameset.htm.
Hope this helps.

Delete Purchase orders in APO Database
We have some purchase orders in APO that we cannot delete from the database.
When we run WUF for a specific material we can see that we have two ATP orders for the material. When we check the orders in R/3 we can see that the orders are deleted purchase orders. In APO we would like to delete these orders properly as we need to delete the material.
We have tried to do this by running the following programs:
/SAPAPO/SDORDER_DEL
SAPAPO/DELETE_PP_ORDER
/SAPAPO/RLCDELETE
We have also tried to run a comparison (TCODE: /SAPAPO/CCR) but no inconsistencies were found.
None of this has deleted the two purchase order from the data base.
Does anybody know how we can delete these orders?
BR TrineFirst of all you need to understand if these orders were:
- created in APO
- CIFed from R/3
APO: in this case only /SAPAPO/RLCDEL can help you. You can also try /SAPAPO/DELETE_PP_ORDER. I've never had any issues when deleting APO-orders. This shouldn't be a problem.
R/3: in this case you should be able to fix issues via /SAPAPO/CCR. When using this report remember that it compares APO and R/3 ONLY in case material/location exists in integration model. In case you checked integration model and it's OK and /SAPAPO/CCR still not able to find the problem then you can use /SAPAPO/DELETE_PP_ORDER. But when using it together with purchase order you need to slightly modify contents of internal variables.
Report /SAPAPO/DELETE_PP_ORDER, rows 373 - 384
IF sy-subrc = 0.
lv_tabix = sy-tabix.
nur im Expertenmodus k³nnen umgesetzte Auftrôge gel³scht werden
IF lv_execu = gc_true
AND ( TO lt_ordkey_no_del.
DELETE lt_ordkey INDEX lv_tabix.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
Here you should set lv_execu to TRUE ('X') and then it is able to delete purchase order. DO IT ONLY IF YOU UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES

QC51:No certificate is required for the purchase order item
Dear all.
I want to create an certificate Receipt In the T-CODE QC51.After input the purchase order and item and press return,the SAP show an error message:
No certificate is required for the purchase order item.
Message no. QC508
My question was where to control the purchase order item to require certificate or not?
Regard
YodaHi
For this you have to maintain Certificate req in Material master.
MM01>Enter your material->Quality view-->Tick on QM procurement->Certificate require-Mension kind of certificate req.
like
E21 Cert. of conformity "2.1" EN 10204
E22 Test certif. "2.2" EN 10204
E23 Works test certif. "2.3" EN 10204
E31A Insp. certificate "3.1.A" EN 10204
E31B Insp. certificate "3.1.B" EN 10204
E31C Insp. certificate "3.1.C" EN 10204
E32 Inspection report "3.2" EN 10204
Q001 Conformance Report
Q002 Plating Certificate
Q003 Test Report
Q004 Certificate through Web
Q005 Chemical / Physical Test report + QC
etc.....
Customizing for this can be done in
SPRO->Quality Management->QM in Logistics--->Define Keys for Certificate Processing.
This will ask you during MIGO or during UD/confirmation possible thro' QC21

Can you convert Purchase Requisition into Purchase Orders on APO.
Hello all,
Can you convert Purchase Requisition into Purchase Orders on APO. Does Standard APO functionality provides you the capability.
Regards
NajamAPO is meant only for Planning and no execution is done. Execution is done only in R/3. You can set the conversion indicator for the conversion of Preqs to POs however the conversion happens only in R/3. Based on the Publication settings and the transfer settings maintained you can publish the Preqs immediately to R/3 and get it converted to POs

Times on Purchase Orders in APO or R/3
Hi Gurus -
We have a production schedule for finished goods and semi finished goods in APO.
The planned orders(production schedule) are then used in R/3 PP MRP for raw materials planning.
For some of the raw materials, the storage space in the factory is limited due to some constraints and hence multiple shipments have to be scheduled each day. These could be for the same ingredient or different ingredients depending on the product mix. For example, first truck at 6 AM, second at 2 PM and the third at 10 PM. The timing of these trucks has to be in sync with the APO production schedule.
Right now since MRP can only go the daily bucket level, the MRP run creates a single Purchase Requisition per day which is then converted into a Purchase Order. They also have to manually enter all the exact timing detail of the purchase orders before putting it up for all of the factory to see and also call the vendor and tell them about what times they have to be delivered. Is there any way to automate this?
The desired output is a Purchase Requisition with times on it( one at 6 AM, 2 PM and 10 PM) which are in sync with the planned orders in APO, which can then be converted into Purchase Orders
Can you please let me know what is the best way to do this?
I was thinking about actually sending these special raw materials into APO and plan them in APO using the PPDS heuristic, that way the purchase requisitions actually have the times on it. The vendors are not modeled in APO but my assumption is when these Purchase requisitions flow through into R/3, they would read the vendor list and pick up the vendor.
Is there any functionality with R/3 MRP to create Preqs by time? I have also asked this question in the PP forum since this question deals with both the systems.
Regards
VarunHi Shailaja,
If this approval is done through ESS, the Time administrator needs to manually transfer the approved data to IT2001 Using RPTARQPOST program.
Also, check the scenario in 'PTARQ' transaction.
If this helps, pl do reward.
Thanks

Requirement Urgency for Purchase order
Hi,
I have configured Requirement Urgency ( I have created 2 code "01 and 99 respectively for emergency and routine , now while creating PR, system proposes 99 as routine , which is correct as per my requirement, again when I do change the requirement priority in PR , it is allowing me to so ( e.g. from 99 to 01 ) and based on that I am able to get the report in ME5A.
However , when I am creating P.O with reference to PR, I am able to see the only "99 " codes no "01, codes.?
Is any clue ? can any body suggest.
Thanks & Regards

Transfer GR Time in purchase order to APO
Hi all
We have the issue that the GR-time in a purchase order sometimes is changed manually and therefore APO should not read the GR time from the product master but always from the purchase order.
Is there anyway (BAPI, modification, etc.) to transfer the GR time of a purchase order (EKPO-WEBAZ) to APO? We run ECC 6.0, SCM 4.1.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Dan BruunHi,
Please check OSS note 565972 - FAQ : External procurment in PP/DS.
It says " in APO Release 4.0 , it is possible to transfer the GR time from a contract, but the function of the maintenance directly in the purchase order is not availble here either"....
Please check if the enhancement CIFPUR01: Enhancement for Transferring Customer-Specific Purchase Order Fields (SAP R/3 >> SAP APO) can be used.
OSS note 333386 (Availablity date different in APO and R/3) , says that "In APO the goods processing time can only be maintained on the product master".

Required fields for Purchase Order through ORDERS05 idoc
Hi,
I'm creating PURCHASE orders from ORDERS05 IDOC through XI. Could anyone tell me what all segments and fields are required for this purpose, if they have done this earlier.
Regards,
VijayHi Vijay,
It depends how the input is populated. Anyway to know about Mandatory Segment /Fields, you can go to Transaction code WE30 in the R/3 system and give the idoc name and open the structure. There you can get to know about Mandatory Segments/fields etc with the help of Occurences

Date difference issue for Purchase order in R/3 and APO
Hi,
I am sending the purchase order from APO to R/3. When I transfer the data through CIF and see the curresponding entries in stock requirement list in R/3, purchase order is 1 day earlier than in SCM.
However, when this purchase order is CIFed back to SCM, date appears correct in SCM ( as what it was before). Is this something because of timezone that difference in date appears in SCM and R/3.
Can someone who came across date issues for transaction data transfer between SCM and R/3 elaborate in more detail please.
Thanks,
SanjayHello Somnath ,
I am also facing the same issue which sanju was facing earlier in PRs .
In APO I am not able to understand how system calculates the opening , start and end date .In my case the transportation time is 48 hrs , planned delivery time is 1 day and all calenders are 5*24 , GR proceeeing time .01 day . When I am creating PR at destination location on 06/06/2008 , 24:00:00 Hrs . System calculates the dates as follows :-
Start date -06/05/2008 , 00:45:00 , end date -06/06/2008, 24:00:00 , opening date -05/20/2008 ,23:25:00 Hrs . I tried to understand the formula given by you in your reply as Opening Date = Requirement Due Date - GR Time - Planned Delivery Time
Start Date = Requirement Due Date - GR time - Transportation Duration
End date = Requirement Date.
But I am not getting the desired results.
Could you let me know why the system is behaving in such way.I also want to know does system can create orders in such a way the opening date lies in past. If yes then can we restrict that ?
Regards ,
Mukesh

Inspection Type 05 require input purchase order number for rejection
Hi Experts,
I have inspection and needed to reject in QA12.
When inputting the stock posting quantity to return, it prompts the reason for rejection, and required to input purchase order number also.
Since that is material return from production(inspection type 05) with no purchase order number, where in SPRO I can check the setting of this and disable this?
Please kindly advise, thanks!
Regards,
DanielHi SujitSND,
I have some materials in inspection lot which is created from material return in production.
This lot is rejected by QA and needed to return to production line.
When inputting the qualtity field RETURN DELIVERY, system forced me to input Purchase Order number which is not available.
My target is to not needing to input purchase order.

Subcontracting Purchase Order from ECC sent to APO creates a Plnd Order
Subcontracting Purchase Order from ECC sent to APO creates a Plnd Order with the same Purchase Order# in APO.
We want to influence the source of supply for this internally APO created planned order.
For this, I would like to know what user exit can be used, I have already looked at
(1) BADI: SOURCE DETERMINATION
(2) CIF INBOUND EXTERNAL PROCUREMENT on APO side.
Any other user exits or has someone worked on this scenario.
Thanks
Kumarsources of supply for planned orders can be changed with the following BADI method:

Change MOT in purchase order using CIF Inbound user exit
Hello APO Experts,
Objective is to change start date of purchase order ( date at source location) in APO based on some date in R3.
Planning to bring R3 date using CIF Outboud user exit( CIFPUR01) in R3 and then further requirement is to a) calculate lead time in inbound user exit ( APOCF006) of purchase order in APO b) compare it with lead time of all available Means of Transport in that particular TLane and select one MOT say XX which matches that lead time c) Next part is to change existing MOT in the Purchase order and replace it with the new XX MOT.
For part c....I am wondering how can we change existing MOT in purchase order and replace it with a new one.Can it be achieved by the user exit APOCF006 in APO or something else is required.
Will appreciate your quick reply on this issue.
Thanks
Best RegardsHi Nilesh
We have a similar requirement. I know its way long for you to remember but i would appreciate if you could share what did you do to achieve this.

Auto creation of Purchase order by heuristic
Hello Experts,
In my project, Heuristic is creating "Purchase orders" automatically, which should have been created by planners only.
Sometimes, it creates it without even creating "Purchase requisitions" and sometimes with PurReq.
Has any one faced similar kind of issue earlier ?
Thanks.Hi Pratiksha,
SNP Heuristics cannot create Purchase orders. It can only create purchase requisitions, or planned orders (in case of production).
Unless you are using Deployment or TLB and convert the Purchase Requisition to Purchase Order with the same, you should not be getting Purchase Orders from APO. (Assuming you don't use PPDS - I don't know much about PPDS aspect)
If the supply is not sufficient to meet the demand, then Heuristics would create the receipts to meet the demand as per your settings. This is the expected behaviour.
Could you please explain if you have a different expectation of the behaviour?
For whatever Purchase requisitions/Purchase Orders you have the doubt that they are created by APO, go to ME23N in R/3 and see in the changes from the menu path Environment-> Header changes (or item changes). This could give you some information.
Also, for purchase Order the header itself gives information on who created the PO.
For purchase requisition, you could select an item and click on the tab "contact person" to find out who created the PReq.
This could help you in cross-checking whether the PO/Preq was indeed created by APO or by someone in R/3 itself.
Thanks - Pawan
