Retention in Purchase Order

Hi expert,
I want to know retention in Purchase Order.
Please tell me.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have addressed similar requirement for my client..
we have contacts , and payments will be on partial and
for every payment there should some retention amount, it may be in % or amount...and the same amount has to be paid to Vendor after 6 months..
we have addressed that in the MIRO Header Text field, user has to put the Retention % , once the invoice is posted it will show against the Vendor open line item..
So that while making payment the AP team has to deduct the Amount...
Or
If you want you can address it as Cash discount and posted to another G/L account, so that you can pay to vendor at a later time..
Or
Just maintain the % in MIRO header text field, and make a ABAP routine attach the Same routine for auto payment run..
The above three coditions are under discussion with our client..
and we may go for any one of these three..
Similarly you can address ur requirement...
In our case Some times we have retention, Some times we may not and aome times value & some times %
But ur case seems to be standard, talk to ur FI guys and choose a better option..
Thx
Raju

  • New TCode for retention from purchase order

    Hi
    I am in SAP Ecc6.0 with EHP3. There is a new TCode in SAP for downpayment - ME2DP. For using this tCode, we have to give downpayment category in payment processing tab in purchase order.
    Then we excute ME2DP. Similarly there is a Retention field in payment processing tab in purchase order. But i want to know the tCode where i can execute retention (as there is ME2DP for downpayment)

    Meera,
    Which version of SBO are you using 2005 or 2007?
    I don't think Serial numbers can help in this scenario.  There is no hard allocation or blocking possible using Serial numbers.
    This is the Work around I am thinking about.
    Set the items to be Batch Managed - On Every Transaction
    When performing Goods Receipt, enter the Sales Order Number as the Batch Number
    When creating the delivery, using SBO_SP_TransactionNotification we can easily check the Batch of the Item being selected and verify it with the BaseRef of Delivery lines to match with Sales Order number.
    If the numbers don't match we can warn user with message, "The items batch reserved for Sales Order xyz"
    Even if you make a mistake when entering the batch number same as Sales Order number when doing a goods receipt. It can still be traced and blocked during delivery.
    Hint: The Batch table records the Goods Receipt transaction along with the BaseDocument number, Base Ref, etc
    If you decide to go this route, I could help you further.
    Let me know

  • Purchase order to payment cycle report

    Dear Sir/Madam
    We want to have a report on the purchase order to payment cycle.
    this includes the following points:
    1. Purchase Requisition is raised in the system
    2. PO is raised with various line items
    3. Advance payment is done against the PO
    4. GRN is made for goods delivered
    5. Invoice is processed against each GRN
    6. Retention is deducted to be paid in future
    7. Liquidated damages (LD) is deducted which is treated as miscellaneous income in companys books
    8. Payment is made to the vendor
    We require the report in such a way which will give the details of each payment against each GRN line item. tracking of the same should be possible.
    Do we have any standard report which will help in identifying the purchase order to payment cycle.
    Thanks and Regards
    Prashant P. Zinge

    Hi,
    It is always a requiremnet to have a report from PO, GR, IV to payment.
    But unfortunately, SAP do not have such a report, we develop one locally, the difficult is at payment side.
    Several invoices for one vendor has only one payment doc, how to display it need to discuss with end user.

  • Complete Status of Purchase Order

    HI SRM Gurus,
       For SRM 7.0  system, for purchase Order  what is the signifance of "Transaction Completed"  status ?
    I have completed one purchase Order which has open item.
    At header level it sets "Transaction Completed" status in SRM PO. but neither it set delete indicator nor delivery complete indicator of open PO items . Hence i wonder what is the signifiance of complete functionality of PO in SRM.
    Can you please through light on this topic ?
    Regards,

    Checks (SRM-SUS)
    Before SAP SRM SUS documents are archived, they are processed by a check program to determine if they qualify for archiving. This validation procedure prevents documents that still require processing, erroneous documents, and current documents from being archived and subsequently deleted from the database.
    The residence time is a general criterion used to determine when SUS documents are archived. Each document must remain in the system for a certain period of time (the retention period) after it was last changed before it can be archived.
    For more information about setting retention periods, see the Supplier Relationship Management Implementation Guide (IMG):  Supplier Relationship Management  Supplier Self-Services  Cross-Application Basic Settings  Archiving of Documents  Define Residence Times for Documents .
    Note
    Only SUS documents from completed business processes are considered for archiving. Before you can archive documents, you need to complete the business process to which they belong.
    End of the note.
    During the check process, the system also checks the relevant follow-on documents. If these documents have been created and completed, the relevant business transactions are assumed to have been completed. In particular, if a SUS purchase order can be archived, then so can the relevant follow-on documents.
    *The status Transaction Completed is only applicable to SUS purchase orders and indicates that the document flow has been completed.* This means that all necessary documents in the document flow have been created and that, in the SUS EBP scenario, the confirmations and invoices pertaining to the purchase order have also been approved.
    As well as the follow-on documents, the ordered quantity (or the quantity confirmed by the supplier if a purchase order response was requested) and the quantity specified in the follow-on documents must be considered. A purchase order can have one or more follow-on documents for each document type. If the total amount of item values of the follow-on documents does not match the total order value, the process step is not complete. In this case the system does not apply the status Transaction Completed to the original SUS purchase order.
    An exception to this process is when a final delivery indicator has been set for an advanced shipping notification or for the invoice. Only the purchaser can set this indicator, which is used to show that no further delivery or invoice is expected and that this particular process step is completed. This information is only available on the purchaser's side in the purchasing system.
    Example
    A SUS purchase order has one or more advanced shipping notifications (ASN). If the total quantity specified in the ASNs does not match the quantity specified in the purchase order, it implies that some of the goods ordered have not yet been delivered. The delivery process step is therefore not yet completed even though invoices have been created for the existing ASNs.

  • Deactivate Invoicing (MIR7 and MIR4) in a Purchase Order

    Hi SAP Experts,
    We have Purchase Orders (PO) for service (construction of building) to a vendor (contractor).  We are using the Goods Receipt (MIGO) to receive the percentage accomplishment.  However, we are using an ABAP program for invoicing instead of (MIR7 u2013 parking of invoice and MIR4 u2013 posting of invoice) since we pay a down payment to the vendor and we also have a retention amount.  Our problem is if we use the ABAP program for invoicing to process payment, we can process it again using MIR7 and MIR4, which may result to double payment to the contractor.  Is there a way where we can receive the goods (MIGO) and deactivate parking and posting of invoices (MIR7 and MIR4 respectively)?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi vaishali gupta,
    Thanks for the advise.  We ticked the final invoice and it did not let us invoice the PO using MIR7 and MIR4 and our ABAP program.  However, we still need to issue an invoice using the ABAP program that we created.  Is there another way where we can use our ABAP program to invoice the PO and at the same time, cannot be invoiced using MIR7 and MIR4?
    Also, when we ticked the Final Invoice, when we made a goods receipt, the amount that was received became 0.00.
    Thanks,
    Matt

  • Archiving Purchase Orders.

    Hi Friends,
    I am trying to Archive Purchase order using archiving object mm_ekko.
    I get the following errors.
    1. Could not delete some subitems                                 
    2. Delivery costs have not been balanced                          
    3. GR qty is smaller than ordered qty minus underdelivery tolerance
    4. GR qty not the same as delivered quantity                      
    5. GR qty not the same as GI qty                                  
    6. Invoiced quantity is smaller than ordered quantity             
    7. Item is blocked                                                  
    8. Posting date of delivery costs within retention period         
    I just want to ingnore / correct them and move ahead.
    Any solutions ??
    Thanks in Advance
    Kanica

    Hi Kanica,
    If you think to implement same solution in production system then problems are,
    1. Payment - Payment posting to vendor will happen and updated to FI accounting documents aganist to that vendor
    2. You may land up with audit related issues.
    If this seems to be ok with your client then you can proceed with that.
    Otherwise you can think of the option of setting deletion flag for the line item and archive it. Once you do this nothing will be changed apart from deletion flag settings for this line item.
    Hope this will help for your issue.
    -Thanks,
    Ajay

  • Who is using SRM Invoice without Purchase Order?

    Hello,
    I want to implement SRM Invoice without Purchase Order as a method for our employees to enter their own non-purchase order invoices into SRM instead of having Accounts Payable enter them into R/3.  The invoices would then go through financial approval workflow before posting in R/3 and being eligible for the next appropriate cheque run.
    This will be a change to our corporate policy and I would like to connect with other companies who are allowing employees to enter their own invoices to find out whatever information or suggestions they can pass along to me.
    Few facts:
    We are running SRM 5.0 Classic with R/3 ERP 2005.
    The invoices are for $3,000 or less.
    We have Head Office plus many remote locations.
    We would still send the invoices to Accounts Payable for retention.
    Thank you,
    Corinne Taylor

    Hi Taylor,

  • Archiving purchase orders of a specific order-type

    hello,
    does anyone have a simple-doc or plan for archiving purchase orders. archiving for dummy's as I have never done this?
    points to be taken into consideration:
    - order of a specific type (ZRL0)
    - order must be older then 10 days
    thanks,

    Hi,
    In order to archive PO's , there are a number of considerations that must be taken into account.
    The archiving program SARA -> MM_EKKO , Write , does a large number of checks before archiving can be done.
    The first step is to go to SARA -> MM_EKKO , customizing. In here , you can specifiy what kind of documents you want to archive and specify the retention period (document life) for each type of document.
    For example :
    Go to C MM-PUR : Reorganization PO
    You will find several type of PO Doc types
    DB     Dummy purchase order           Standard
    NB     Standard PO           Standard
    NB     Standard PO     K     Consignment
    NB     Standard PO     L     Subcontracting
    NB     Standard PO     S     Third-party
    NB     Standard PO     D     Service
    UB     Stock transport ord.     U     Stock transfer
    Suppose you want to archive Standard PO's  , go into the customizing option and then set the residence time 1 and residence time 2.
    Res time 1 is the number of days which must elapse after which a deletion indicator can be set for the document. The elapsed days are calculated from the last change date of the document record in EKKO table.
    Res time 2 is the number of days which must elapse after which a document with a deletion indicator can be actually deleted out of the EKKO table.
    Once the customizing is finished , then you should run the SARA Preprocessing job (which sets the deletion indicators for the selected set of documents) , then the write job (which will write the DLT status documents to an archive file) and then the delete step (which will remove documents from the EKKO and other related Purchasing tables. TO get a trailer of what gets archived and deleted , run the archive write job in "Test" Mode , rather than "Production" mode.
    Hope this helps.

  • Delete Purchase Orders

    I wannt to delete purchase orders because the creaters only deleted the line itmes in the purchase orders, and it still shows up in the PO reports with figures, I want to totally delete it.

    you dont have to set any deletion indicator manually, the Preproc step does this for you based on customizing for retention times.
    You certainly cannot process any POs where the business case is  not completed, e.g. where only a partial invoice is posted.
    SAP gives you info about such cases in the log for the preproc run.
    before you start with archiving, you should search OSS for notes about archiving object MM_EKKO and get them in to your system, otherwise you risk an incomplete archived business case.
    details about the purchasing document archiving can be read here:

  • Payment by letter of Credit against Purchase order

    When we are purchasing from Foreign Vendors , we need to open a Letter

    Vendor's Bank, at appropriate Time will send the same to Customer's Bank
    How to mapped this scenario in SAP-MM and FI .
    Activities required to be updated against Purchase order :

  • Purchase order and message details

    Hi gurus,
    We have a requirement of generating a report of how the purchase orders are being sent to vendor.
    Is there any table or tables that stores information of a purchase order number and how the message (output type) has been processed to vendor like through what medium it has been sent to vendor.
    Example Purchase order 3456 was sent to vendor through fax.
                   Purchase order 4563 was sent to vendor through paper.
                  Purchase order 7865 was sent to vendor through EDI.
    The transmission medium by which it has been sent to vendor need to be captured by purchasing document.
    So gurus, if anyone can advise me of table or relating tables that i can write a query or request abapers to write a custom report, that would be great.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kind regards,
    Gopio.

  • Purchase Order Report

    When Iam trying to take Purchase Order report,
    Fields in PO Report are as follows:
    Posting date, Purchase Order number,Vendor Name, Item Name, Qty, Unit Price, Total Price, & Status.
    For eg:
    PO Num 100 contains 5 Items, Out of which Goods Receipt PO has been raised for 3 Items. and Goods Receipt PO for remaining 2 items have not been raised.
    In this case PO status is OPEN.
    When iam generating PO Report, It shows Status for all the Items are OPEN. bcoz status for the PO is OPEN.
    I want the report to show the status is Closed for the Items for which Goods Receipt PO has been raised. and similarly status must be OPEN for the items for which Goods Receipt PO has not raised. ( PO number is same ).
    Your answers will be very helpfull.
    Thankyou.
