RFQ Reminders (MAHN)

SAP ECC 6.0
I am attempting to set up urging reminders for vendor RFQ's. I have it to the point where I have updated the Purchasing Value Key, with 1, 2, and 3 days. My RFQ (ME41) inherits these values from the Purch Info Record.
I can get the 1st reminder (MAHN) to generate using ME91A after the RFQ is one day overdue. However, when I try to generate the MAHN again after the RFQ is 2 days overdue in ME91A, I get a note "Message Not Generated". Is there something I am not understanding about this functionality?
As an FYI, the dispatch timing on my MAHN output condition record is set to "1 - Send with periodically scheduled job".
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Reminders for PO and RFQs

Hello Sapiens,
Can anybody tell me the execution of reminders in purchasing value key?
Theory is that we get reminders before or after or on the delivery date. but how can we see its execution?
is it possible to see its execution on development or ides server?
how me91A and me91f are connected to purchasing value key?
Kindly explain in detail...
thanks

Hi
See the following def
Definition
    Number of days representing the time interval at which reminders or
    urging letters/messages (may also be termed "chasers", "hasteners" (UK)
    or "expediters" (USA)) are to be issued to the vendor.
Use
    A negative number of days means that a reminder is to be issued to the
    vendor n days prior to a certain date (for example, the delivery date or
    the deadline for submission of quotations).
    A positive number of days means that a letter or message urging delivery
    or submission of a quotation etc. is to be issued n days after the due
    date.
Procedure
     In the case of purchasing documents, the time intervals are defaulted
     from the purchasing info record or, if one does not exist, from the
     material master record.
Dependencies
     The basis for the reminder intervals is the delivery date or deadline
     for submission of quotations etc.
     In the event of several reminder levels, the days must be set out in
     ascending order of time, without gaps.
Example
     In the event of a delay in delivery, you can send messages urging the
     vendor to deliver ordered materials a total of three times, at interval
     of 10 days:
In IMG Material management -
purchasing -
mat master-----purchasing value key
assign the reminder
maintain this in mat master
in me91f generate message
if useful rward point

Output Message Type MAHN not getting picked up in PO

Hello Experts
   I have configured customized output type ZMAH (similar to MAHN) for reminder process. When I am creating PO this output type is not getting picked up automatically.

Upon deremination analysis I am getting this message 502 " Output ignored (requirement 103 not fulfilled) ". Reminder are getting picked up from Purchase Value Key to PO.

MAHN     502     Output ignored (requirement 103 not fulfilled)
NEU     541     Output found

Vijay,
did you try looking up the access sequence for ABSA and MAHN, the condition tables associated with the access sequence and the fields in the condition tables? Are all the fields that are required for the message to be fulfilled being available during message processing?

Set deletion indicator on unsuccessful RFQs

Dear Everyone,
Essentially, the criteria for marking the deletion indicator in unsuccessful RFQs are:
1/ quotations are not maintained for these RFQs; net price is zero.
2/ deadline for the submission of the quotation had expired. The fields EKPO-MAHN1, EKPO-MAHN2 & EKPO-MAHN3 are also verified to see if reminders are required to be sent after the quotation deadline. If required, then the RFQs are not appropriate candidates for now.
3/ if the above criteria is met, a further verification check is made amongst the RFQs with the same collective number to see if any of the RFQs are having quotations maintained, that is, the net price is not zero. One of the quotations (having the same collective number and accepted by the business) will have a quotation comment of AB1 or AB2 and this will be used as a basis for rejecting (updating the rejection indicator) the rest.
4/ a report program is preferred. It should have key selection criteria like Quotation deadline [select-options], RFQ # [selection-options], quotation deadline [parameter], collective number [parameter * wildcard acceptable],
Could anybody please provide solution for this will be appreciated?
Thanks in advance
Ravi

Dear,
The system sets this status when you release the order, provided that the Order record required indicator is set in the order type-dependent parameters (see Customizing for Process Order)....
This setting is there in SPRO....
Production Planning for Process Industries - Process Order-Master Data-Order-Define Order type Dependent parameters...
In this you set the option Order record Required....
Requirements are that the process orders are settled, associated PI sheets, inspection lots and any linked purchase orders are complete.
Following are prerequisites for closing a process order
1 The order must have the status Released (REL) or Technically completed (TECO)
2 The order balance must be 0
3 There can be no open purchase requisitions, purchase orders.
4 There can be no future change records from confirmation processes.
.Now Calculate Overheads using Tcode : KGI2 - Individual Processing
CO43 - Collective Processing
Step to be follow,
1.Calculate WIP using Tcode : KKAX - Individual Processing
KKAO - Collective Processing
2.Calculate Variance by using Tcode : KKS2 - Individual Processing
KKS1 - Collective Processing
3.Finally do the settlement of Order in Tcode : KO88 - Individual Processing
CO88 - Collective Processing
Please refer this thread also,
https://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=17422319&messageID=5934846
The transaction COA5 (Archive Administration Preprocessing).
This will allow you to set the deletion flag
Hope this helps.

MM Message type MAHN

Dear friends
Does anyone knows explain how could I use the "Eletronic Follow up" from SAP.
Which steps should I use to configure and use message MAHN to send warning to vendor , from PO fields.
Best regards,
Ale

Hi,
Please read this link. It will explain what you need:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/b7/286992ebc611d1b6400000e8a738dc/frameset.htm
Please bear in mind that you ALWAYS have to print out your PO first. Otherwise no reminder output.
Please make sure you have maintained your reminder days on the material master (purchase value key) or in the info record or in the PO.
Days with minus: letters are send before the goods receive dates (-2) will send letter 2 days befor GR date in PO
Days with plus: reminder is send (3) 3 days after the planned GR date.
Totally three reminders can be send. After the last reminder, and still not be delivered? Send your company worst nightmare to the vendor (helped in our case!).
Printing in batch possible.
Manual printing ME91F (transaction code).
Best Regards,
Eric.

Open and closed PRs/RFQs

Hi Friends,
Can anybody tell me what is the meaning of open PR/RFQ and closed PRs/RFQs?
In SPRO>MM>Purchasing-->Reporting, I can define scope and selection parameter for PO and RFQ. But I cant find scope and selection parameter for PR.
Please advice hoe to define scope and selection parameters for PRs.
In ME5A, when I select close PRs, it shows the same PRs when i dont select "close PR" button.
Please advice.
Thanks & regards
Satya

Dear Satya,

An item of a purchase requisition is only regarded as Closed if the requested order quantity has been included in a purchase order.
You can also set an item to Closed manually. <b>This item will then not be taken into account by the materials planning and control system.</b>
You can set the Closed indicator manually at the following points (it can later be cancelled if necessary):
When changing a purchase requisition, on the item detail screen
When creating a purchase order referencing a requisition, on the item detail screen of the PO
You can still create purchase orders by referencing a requisition if this indicator has been set in the requisition concerned.
The indicator can also be set in the case of automatic PO generation from purchase requisitions. On the initial screen of the requisition, you can specify that the requisition is to count as closed as soon as an associated purchase order has been generated, even if the complete quantity requested has not been ordered, for example (Set reqs. to "closed" indicator).
Analyses of Purchase Requisitions:

Hope this will help.

Multiple Hard Drive Failures on my Macbook Pro - Entourage reminders?

Over the past 2 months I've had three hard drives fail on three different macbook pro computers.
I've retraced my steps, searched many forums, and spoken with multiple Mac Geniuses but still can't figure out what's happening. The IT guy at work is about to kill me and I really want to figure out what's going wrong so I can fix it (or change my current behaviors).
Computer #1 - Out of the box, 2-3 weeks old. I took the computer home to do some work over the weekend. I didn't turn the it off before transporting it, but I did wait for it to go to sleep completely (I've since read that it takes a few moments while things in RAM switch over to the Hard Drive to save incase of power failure). I worked on it a bit at home, mostly just internet searches and a few word documents. When I returned to work my computer was running slowly and suddenly all of the programs locked. Since I've had this problem before with my personal computer (a G4 Powerbook), I tried the force quit options to no avail so I just held down the power key to power off. When I rebooted I got the dreaded "no" symbol.
Computer 2: IT gave me a used macbook pro that they repurposed for me. I made sure to shut down before transporting this computer. A few days later, before I even got to transfer all of my files, the computer started running slowly, programs locked. I eventually got the computer to shut itself down (as IT didn't want me to do a forced reboot) but upon restarting I got an even more dreaded screen, the folder with a question mark in it.
Computer 3: It was a fairly new computer, though a bit more ram, and probably only a few months old (used by a freelancer). It worked great. I took it home several times, transfered all of my files. Set up everything perfectly. Three weeks in, after working at my desk for about 4 hours, everything began to slow down. I called IT immediately and remotely sent a force shut down message. Nothing happened for about 15 minutes so I left for a meeting. I came back a few hours later and my computer was off. When it restarted, nothing appeared. There wasn't a "no" symbol or folder with a question mark in it, just a blank screen.
I've read and thought about all of the options.
- Large Magnet somewhere - It would have affected my personal computer (if at home) or my colleagues (if at work) or everyone else in nyc (while on the subway)
- Too hot - Possible I suppose, but how does running iTunes, powerpoint, and entourage do this?
- Downloaded something/Virus - We don't have administrative privileges. I can only update some software and send/receive folders. Plus, can any single file cause this much damage?
- Moved before asleep - This might have happened on the first computer, but I doubt it could happen to three. I always shut it down now before transporting, and I was sitting at my desk for hours before I had any trouble last time.
The one common factor that I haven't mentioned.
We use Entourage as a mail client here.
Each time the computer froze, the first things to freeze were the Entourage calendar reminders. Entourage seems to run strangely with the airport, but not with our LAN. When my computer froze last time, I had the aiport on but was working off the LAN. Could Entourage cause this much trouble? Has anyone else had trouble with entourage calendar reminders or failing hard drives?
Oh, and it also always happens on a Monday. I've taken the computers home multiple times though, so I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing during the transport or not, but the computer is always off now when I move it. I also cary my personal computer with me often, same routes and bags, so I'm not sure why it's not affected.
Thanks

How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer.

HT4970 does any one else miss the month at a glance that the old version of reminders had? I wish Apple would bring that feature back.

Does anyone else miss the month-at-a-glance feature from the old version of Reminders app? I wish Apple would bring that feature back. It made it very convenient to schedule for the future.

Reminders in iCal Day View

Reminders, whether created in iCal or the iOS Reminders app disappear in iCal's Day View when the reminder is set in iOS to repeat. They reapear in iCal when the date is advance on day or the view is changed to Week View. They also appear correclty in iCloud's day view.
Does anybody get different results?
Thanks,

I too miss the alarm icon feature, as it is now cumbersome to verify whether an event has an alarm or not.

How to clear completed reminders in iCal

Has anyone figured out how to clear completed (checked done) reminders in iCal?

Joe,
That clarifies the question for me. Go to iCal>Preferences>Advanced and make your choices:

In ical I just added new calendars to a pre-existing calendar group, I can make events with these calendars, but not reminders, any suggestions?

in ical I just added new calendars to a pre-existing calendar group, I can make events with these calendars, but not reminders, any suggestions?

Hi,
Lion has changed the way reminders (todos as was) work. They now seem to need to be in a seperate calendar.
In iCal open the File menu and select New Reminder List... and select where to put it.

thanks in advance

If you refer the same document on the following link you see that RFQ is not automatically
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/75/ee1fa755c811d189900000e8322d00/frameset.htm
What does their mean automatically is
using the assign and process you can create RFQ. but not like Auto PO using Me59n
Creating RFQs
To create RFQs, you must generate a basic list via Requisition ® Follow-on functions ® Assign + process.
From the basic list, you can flag a requisition for RFQ processing. Select a requisition and choose Edit ® Flag for RFQ ® With vendor or Without vendor.
Choose Goto ® Assignment overview to access the assignment overview screen. Position the cursor on the text Flagged for RFQ processing and choose Edit ® Process assignment.
A dialog box for the creation of RFQs appears.
Enter the deadline for submission of quotations and check other relevant data, such as the purchasing organization.
When you press ENTER, you will obtain an overview of the purchase requisitions that have been flagged for RFQ processing.
Select the items that are to be adopted in the RFQ.
Adopt the selected items in the RFQ.
u2013 If you wish to change the selected items before adopting them, choose Edit ® Selections ® Adopt + details. The relevant item detail screens will then appear, allowing you to make the desired changes.
u2013 To adopt the selected items without changes, choose Edit ® Selections ® Adopt.
The item overview for the RFQ to be created is displayed with the adopted items.
If you have flagged the requisition for RFQ processing without a vendor, or if you wish to issue RFQs to another vendor, assign the RFQ to a vendor and save the document.
Repeat this process for each vendor to whom the RFQ is to be issued.
For more information on the creation of RFQs, refer to the section Creating RFQs.
