Sample procurement

Hi
According to the business scenario,need to procure sample material in free of cost and also need to maintain the material as non-valuated in the inventory.In this scenario the business is using Standard price for all materials (not MAP).Kindly help.
-Prabu

Hello Prabu,
As it was said you can order goods FOC using the free of charge indicator on your PO.
If you don't want this sample material to be valuated (or valuated on an other price):
1. Isn't a solution for you to consume it with MVT 201 for a cost center / or use 'K' account assignment category on your PO (to receive the goods against a cost center)
2. You can use split valuation, please check:

Procedure for inwarding imports free sample

Dear all
We are getting free samples from our import vendors.No cost involved in this samples.
We want to keep it in valuated stock.
Is there any special movement is available for inwarding these free samples.
Please help us.
Regards

Hi,
There is no Sperate Movement type for free sample procurement.
You have maintain Info Record as Free smaple. while creating PO the item will not cover any value.
During GR you can make against 101.

Sample inspection during first time procurement.

Hi,
I have a scenario when ever I start procuring from a new vendor, Plant will be asking for sample say 10 pieces. And when vendor supplies the same, the quantity will go for quality inspection. Once all the parameters are met order will be posted to the vendor with a PO for more quantity.
I understand that I need to have following master data, Like Vendor, Quality info record, Inspection plan for the material, MIC's associated with them, Inspection type assigned to the Material master. (Which type of inspection type can I use here)
And What type of movt types will be used.
Kindly help me out how to go about this process.
Regards,
N.Nagaraju

If you are looking for simple process , try this.
1. Assign 01 inspection type in material master
2. SAP will create inspection lot at the time of GR.
3. Process inspection lots as usual.
4. Once you are satisfied with vendor quality- Create Q info record for vendor / material.
In the tab 'Inspection control ' set inspection control to 'No Inspection'.
5. All subsequent receipts would not create inspection lot.
In this process, You have to manually set the Q info record to no-inspection.
To automate the process use 'status profile' in the Qinfo record.

Issue with DataApp Sample in JavaFX.

Okay so I downloaded the Samples pack here http://jdk8.java.net/download.html or here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html at the bottom.
Inside is one called DataApp which requires setting up an SQL DB, and connecting to it.
In Netbeans8 I get an error about not having RestLib api inside the DataAppClient which according to the setup DataAppClient - The JavaFX 2.0 client application. inside there you can see a package with packages that wont import such as
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.Client;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.UniformInterfaceException;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.WebResource;
import com.sun.jersey.api.json.JSONConfiguration;
So why am I in a Java 8 samples pack needing FX 2? Though I'm not sure if it's FX8 yet, I just didn't think the 2.0 client would work.
So I tried Netbeans 7.3 to see if it would work. At first the DataAppClient was fine, but I see the DataAppPreloader will not run because it uses Package javafx.something which apparently is new in Java 8.....
So now I'm stuck, wondering why Restlib doesn't exist... I looked it up, and it says it's used for Web services, but I don't have it, nor does it say to install it in the readme.
not existing, which I guess has to do with the RestLib?
Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: So I just downloaded the version for FX2, and I am still getting the same error when I run it, though nothing shows "errors" in the packages. Maybe I just needed to run it correctly for it to work, so not what is this error tellingme

I found the same issue but resolved it by myself. The user table of the MySQL changed, my guess. You need to add another 'Y' or 'N' to the end of this statement in the build.xml of DataAppLoader:
INSERT INTO user VALUES ('localhost','dataapp','*B974A83D18BB105D0C9186756F485406E6E6039B','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','','','','',0,0,0,0,'',NULL,'N');
The original one is like this:
INSERT INTO user VALUES ('localhost','dataapp','*B974A83D18BB105D0C9186756F485406E6E6039B','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','','','','',0,0,0,0,'',NULL);
The new column added is password_expired. Y or N to indicate the password is good or not.

Sample materials(FG) receive from Vendor

Hi all,
We need you advise on the below requirment?
Scenario: Company receive the sample materials (Finished goods) form the Vendor. After receiving this into the Company the Marketing department send this to our company customers for advertizing. Sofar they are doing this activity in out off SAP.
From now onwords they want enter this goods in SAP suystem.
So now the business busienss is looking for solution ( just kind of report in SAP) which should show the current availble stock when we run this report.
How much qty received from the vendor, How much qty taken out by Marketing dept and currently what is the availble stock( sampels).
Please note : The stock will be counted on number base. not on value base.
Plese adivse how to achieve this ?
thanks,

surya,
To get a report with stock, available stock etc. in some way the information has to be inputted in SAP. How are you planning to do that?
One option is to create documents in SAP and then use these for inbound and outbound movements.
- for receiving these goods from vendor
- for sending sample goods to customers
I am not sure about Procuring part (inbound). For outbound part, please see below:
For the sample sale process:
Use FD document type - This is provided by SAP to deliver free of charge sample goods to customers.
In FD process, there is no billing document. Only sales order > delivery
Read about standard FD process in the internet.

QM in procurement basic flow

Hi all,
Can anybody explain me about the end to end process of QM in procurement ? means....what is the start point and where it end ? ...master data involved ?.......
Appreciate your help...
Cheers,
Pat

If you want to procure material from outside vendor then you can activate QM in procurement for this you have to follow following point,
1. Create Material Master and assign Quality Insp data in QM view. - MM01
2. Create Vendor Master for which vendor you want to procure material - XK01
3. Create Source list and/ or Info record as per your business requirement for vendor, material combination
If you want to procure particular material from particular vendor then this relation you can display here. - ME01/ QI01
4. Create Inspection Plan for material and assign other master data like MIC, Sampling data, Inspection method, work center, equipment to it - QP01, MS21, QS31, QDV1, QDP1, QPV2, QDR1
5. Now create Purchase requisition for material - ME51N
6. Purchase dept. will request for quotation to vendor - ME41
7. With refeance to quotation create PO - ME21N
8. Release PO. - ME28, ME29N
9. Do good receipts with referance to PO.
10. System will generate Insp. lot auto matically and stock comes in quality - QA32/ QA33
11. Do sampling and result recording of lot - QE51N
12. Do usage decision - QA11
13. Stock comes in unrestricted use - MMBE
Hope this helps.
Thanks!!!

CCM - content of customer characteristic not mapped to procurement catalog

Hi experts,
I uploaded a sample CSV-file supplier catalog. Within the supplier catalog I defined a customer characteristic of type /CCM/ATTACHMENT.
The supplier catalog is uploaded without any problems and also the /CCM/ATTACHMENT characteristic is filled correctly with description, mime type and URL.
I mapped now the supplier catalog to the master catalog and then to the procurement catalog.
All the content except the content of the customer characteristic /CCM/ATTACHMNENT is mapped to the master and procurement catalog. The characteristic /CCM/ATTACHMENT is available in the master and procurement catalog and I can even see the characteristic there. But no content is in there.
Are there any additional steps when I try to map customer characteristic? The characteristic is in definitely available in the master and procurement catalog schema and catalog.
Thanks in advance for your help! I will reward points.
Tom

Hi,
Try select both the characteristic in mapping, do "Assign Characteristics" for automatic characteristic assignment, include sub categories and SAVE.
A message will appear for assigning characteristic, then go for MAP CONTENT all items will be mapped and will be obtained in Procurement catalog.
Best Reg.,
Sridhar

Procurment and spend analysis

Hi,
Wat are dashbords required for Procurment and spend analysis only?
Thanx

If you want to see the out of box dashboards and reports for Procurement and Spend, then you can look at Product Guide, it lists all the dashboards and sample reports. However product guide is not available via Metalink3 or oracle site, you can try requesting it via your account representative for Oracle.

Direct material procurement in PDP scenario for classic mode

Dear Gurus,
We have configured classic scenario in our SRM 7.01 with backend system ECC 6.0 Enhpk 5. We have PDP scenario for direct material as one of the requirement. The requirement generated in MRP in the ECC backend system will be sent to SRM SOCO for sourcing. Once the right source of supply is found, the follow-on purchase order needs to be created in the ECC backend system in direct material mode.
However, the SAP SRM standard supports only indirect material procurement in PDP scneario for classic mode. How to enable the direct material procurement? Could you suggest any BAdi to be used here?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan
Ranjan Sutradhar

Hello,
You need to activate the Bsdi 'ME_REQ_SOURCING_CUST' for transferring the purchase requisitions from ERP to SAP SRM.
Some details about the method involved for the same are mentioned below :
Mehtod : IF_EX_ME_REQ_SOURCE_CUST~ACTIVE
->when parameter CV_AUT_SOURCING is set to true, external sourcing (e.g. SRM system) is active in ERP system
->when parameter CV_EXT_RFX_IND is set to true, RFx can be created out of PR directly from ERP system using application CPPR
->when parameter CV_EXT_SC_IND is set to true, PR in ERP system will be transferred to SRM using application CPPR
Method b. IF_EX_ME_REQ_SOURCE_CUST~CHECK_EXTERNAL_SOURCE
Here you need to maintain the logic / condition for which PR has to be transfered to SOCO.
Example
IF ( is_req_item-ekgrp = 'SRM' AND is_req_item-matkl = '100' )
cv_ext_sourcing = cl_mmpur_constants=>yes.
ENDIF.
When this BADI is active whenever you save a PR with say the purchasing group as SRM and material group is 100 (as per sample code above), system automatically triggers the PR transfer from ERP to SRM by xml's.

Rahul

ADC sample code MapLargeFile.c returns an error

I need some help running sample code from the ADC web site. I'm running 10.5.6 on a Mac Pro with 6 GB of RAM.
The example in question "Shows a technique for mapping files greater than 4GB into memory for faster access."
I compile it like this:
gcc MapLargeFile.c -o MapLargeFile
Then I make a 6GB file like this:
dd if=/dev/zero of=foobar.txt bs=1024 count=6291456
Finally I run it like this:
./MapLargeFile foobar.txt
The program fails with this warning:
./MapLargeFile: failed to mmap file at offset 0x0
I get the same error message if I give it a nonexistent file name. Looking at the code I would think it would say it couldn't open the nonexistent file.
What am I doing wrong?
Here is the sample code from the Apple ADC site:

close( fd ); // all done, close the file
return 0;

The short comment explains it:
// touch every byte in this segment of the file.
// this 'warms up' the pages in memory so that subsequent accesses will be much faster
This is basically just buffered I/O. If you know you are going to need to read 10000 bytes, there is no need to read each byte one at a time. You read all 10000 bytes at once, then access each byte in memory instead of going to disk for it.

Inspection in procurement

Guys, I have a query regarding inspection types 01, 0101 and 0102 i.e. regular, model and preliminary inspection for a material.
Although I know the configuration part, I'm not clear conceptually what a model or preliminary inspection means. Would appreciate any inputs.
1. For a new vendor or new material/ vendor combination what would be the impact of this setup?
2. For an existing material , I have reached production series release. Can this then be reset to model inspection again? When would this be required?
3. Before shipping material, a vendor sends me samples for inspection. Once these are approved, the total shipment is received and inspected, next. Any ideas on how this can be mapped?
thanks!

Hi,
You can use here source inspection concept.
Scenario:
Purchase order is created for the raw material requirement to the particular vendor and the vendor stock is checked before goods receipt is made in our place where inspection lot has to be generated after the purchase order creation to the particular vendor.
Prerequisite:
In the material master QM view inspection type 01, 101 to be activated
Q-info record (QI01) to be created for the particular vendor and source inspection type 0101 to be assigned in inspection control tab in QI01 screen.
Once you create purchase order again run transaction QI07 with material, plant .vendor combination.u2014Press Enter u2013in this screen select your line item & click on create inspection lot & save the transaction. Then you will find inspection lot to process.
Scenario-1:
Inspection lot is generated when purchase order is created, where result recording and usage decision is made as Approved after that Goods receipt is made with the reference of PO at the time of goods receipt system should not create the inspection lot and it allows to post the stock in unrestricted.
Scenario-2
Inspection lot is generated when purchase order is created, where result recording and usage decision is made as Rejected after that Goods receipt is made with the reference of PO at the time of goods receipt the below condition has to happen
1.     System should create the new inspection lot and do the analysis then accept the stock
2.     system should not allow to do the goods receipts.
3.     source inspection has no impact at th time of goods receipt.
Configuration setting required:
Quality management-QM logistics-QM procurement -Control key
Define control key;
GR/Source inspection control;
GR for rejection; three option is available
1.source inspection has no effect on goods receipt
2.Creation of new inspection lot
3.Goods receipt not allowed.
If any issue please revert me back.
