SAP MM:Purchase info record

Hi experts,
Can anyone tell me the complete process of purchase info record (ME11).Complete screen steps what are the tabs are there in ME11.I want screenshots of ME11
Hope for good answer from experts
Regards
sandhya

Hi Sandya,
If you want to create it manually you can do so by using the SAP transaction code ME11. At the initials screen the following are the input values:
Vendor Number
Material Number
Purchasing Organization
Plant
Info Category
After key in these values at the initial screen you can maintain rest of the information related to material and vendor in the subsequent screen. These information can be group as follows:
Purchasing Organization Data
Conditions
Texts
As per the business requirement you can make some of the fields (information) as mandatory by customizing. You can also restrict the end user from modifying these information once saved in the system.
In the standard SAP purchasing info record is maintained as a source of information for Purchasing.
It contains some of the information from material master and some of the information related to its supplier/vendor.
Hence Material and Vendor Master is pre-requisite for a purchasing info record. You can also maintain the
purchasing information record without material master record if your material is for direct consumption.
Here you can use material group instead of material master. You can have more than one purchasing information
record for a single material if it is being supplied by more suppliers, one for each supplier. Information maintained
in purchasing information records is used as default data in documents such as purchase orders.
In standard SAP Info record stands for information record which contains concise information about a vendor and a material that Purchasing already procures from that vendor. An info record thus represents a material-vendor relationship. Following are some of the information maintained in Info record:
Units of measure in which materials are ordered from the vendor
The applicable reminder levels
Prices and Conditions with validity period (Present and Future)
Applicable Tax Code
Planned Delivery Time
Standard & Maximum Quantity
Tolerance limits for over-deliveries and under-deliveries
Number of Last Purchase Order or Quotation
Text
Vendor evaluation data
An indicator for showing vendor as regular vendor for the material
The vendor sub-range to which the material belongs
The availability period during which the vendor can supply the material
Thanks,

Purchase Info record error

hi SAP,
In purchase info record in deletion flag i tick the check delete info record. if i do this values from info record will not come when i create purchase order.

Hello,
Check On the analysis button on the condition tab of the purchase order line item.
here you will find the pricing procedure system is picking up. Also you will get all the condition type there.
Check the first condition type PB00.
Click on the arrow mark before PB00 and drop down you will see all the acess sequence for that condition type new see agaist which acess sequence you can find arrow mark. From there you can analyze and will come to know system is picking up price from which aces sequence.
Outline agreement
Contract or Inforecord.
IIf you give deletion flag to Inforecord then also system will picking up price from info record. But if you keep the condtion record validity period as yesterdays date in ME12 or MEk2 transaction then system will not pickup from inforecord but it will pick up last PO price.
So if you dont want Info record price to pick up then change the condtion type validity perid as past dates.

Document type for Purchasing Info Records

I want to know where do we define the document type( IL, IN ) for Purchasing Info Records in Customizing(SPRO).
Are these standards or can we define new document types?

Hi
There are 4 categories of info records.
Standard
Subcontract
Consignment
Pipeline
There are two types of Info records maintenance:
1) Cross-plant (where you can maintain your info record at the purchasing organization level); or
2) Plant specific (where the specific plant must be maintained).
Besides, there are two document types of info records being <b>hardcoded</b> in SAP -
1) Purchasing Info Record for stock materials (Document Type IL); and
2) Purchasing Info Record for Material Group (Document Type IN).

None approval process for Purchasing Info Record

Hi,
Are there some approval process in SAP for Purchasing Info Record?
Now, we use ME11 to creat Purchasing Info Record. And use ME12 to modify Purchasing Info Record. I feel it is very dangerous. Becase if someone make a mistake. Nobody know.
If the price is lower than actual price, vendor must ask us modify it. If the price is higher than actual price, I am not very sure what will happen.
So, we are seeking for an approval process in SAP system.

There is no approval process in standard,Since it serves as master.
Better provide authorization for ME11 & ME12 to restrict it.
Raise quotation to maintain vendor prices.

Purchase info record does not exists in purchase organization 1000

Hi experts,
          I have created a new enterprise structure in SAP. when i am creating a PO its picking the correct info record, but when i am doing GR, its giving the error as 'purchase info record does not exists in purchase organization 1000". I have maintained everything perfect. the only thing i have changed is I have moved the open and close period from 11-2002 to 12-2008 in MMPV.
         Please give me some suggestions, where it can go wrong.
Thanks & Regards,
Poorna.

Hi Guys,
          Thanks for all yours responses, Actually what deepak said was right, but in my IDES system i am not able to create new entries in assign plant to std purchase org. I found the database view for that, V_001W_E its for table T001W. So i looked into that table i found that std purchase org was given as 1000. i made direct entries in that table, i thought the reason for this may be due to , that i copied plant from 1000. After making entries , i did not got the error message that was i am previously getting.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi.

Report for Materials expired with price on Purchase Info Record

Hi Experts,
Can anyone of you advice a report in SAP that can identify the materials where the price has expired on Purchase Info Record.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nagarjun

HI,
ME1P will be used to monitor the changes in terms of pricing conditions you made to your info record via Transaction MEKP.
In case of SA, you will have to build up your simple query by joining two tables A016 and KONP.

Mass Creation of Material Group Purchase info record

Dear All
Currently we are developing a custom transaction in SAP to mass upload Purchase Info records from a flat file (excel)
We are using the standard Function Module ME_POST_INFORECORD to create the PIR s
We use two different number ranges for Material and Material Group PIR s. This is set up already in SPRO>MM>PIR>Define Number Ranges
Purchasing info record for stock material (Group - IL ) have a number range X
Purchasing info record for material group (non-stock mat.)(Grpup -IN) have number range Y
So when we create a Material PIR manually in SAP it picks X number range and Y number range for Material Group PIR
But when we create Material Groups PIR via the new custom transaction it creates PIR s with Number range X.
Upon checking understood that the standard FM ME_POST_INFORECORD is always defaulting the Number Range Group as IL internally . Seems like a harcoding done by SAP
Wanted to know
- Is there any another FM we should consider while creating Material Group PIR s. Any other Function module provided by SAP for that ?
- Or what can be other way to resolve this ?
Please let me know your views on this.
Regards
Shyam

Hi,
For mass upload from flat files you can consider LSMW with different options e.g. IDoc:
Message Type INFREC
Basic Type INFRECMASS01
or simply via recording of transaction (this should be using exactly the same NR as you have when doing this manually).

Tomek

Purchase info record price simulation

Hi all,
I need to emulate the process used by transaction me1l in order to make a price simulation to obtain the net price and the effective price from the purchase info record related to a PO item.
I have to calculate them from the standard info record (info category = 0) using:
- pricing date = PO creation date
- simulation quantity = PO item quantity
- base unit of measure = PO item unit of measure
I have tried to use the function module ME_PRICING_INFORECORD but I haven't obtained the same values as using the transaction me1l. I don't know if I have used the correct input parameters but I have tried several options and I haven't obtained the correct values for any of them.
The parameters used are:
infoa = info record data obtained from table eina
infoe = info record data obtained from table eine
inpreissim -> simulation data:
      inpreissim-simng = PO item quantity
      inpreissim-simme = PO item unit of measure
      inpreissim-sidat = PO creation date
      inpreissim-pseff = 'X' for the effective price
      inpreissim-pseff = ' ' for the net price
simulation = 'X'
Does anybody know how I can emulate boton 'Price Simulation' in the transacction me1l in my code?

Hi Carmen,
i have the solution below
but for several rows i received wrong value for net_price and currency ( i suppose that the problem is with RM06I, missing CLEAR statement)
maybe the solution - CLEAR RM06I in ME_PRICING_DIALOG, because is not set up as initial, and takes values from previous row, if menge is initial
IF NOT MENGE IS INITIAL.
RM06I-SIMNG = MENGE.
RM06I-MEIN2 = MEINS.
KOMK-PRSDT = TERMIN.
ENDIF.
Do you have anybody the solution how set CLEAR RM06I ( i cannot modify SAP FM) or something else?
    CALL FUNCTION 'ME_PRICING_REFRESH'.
Provides dialog box for entry of simulation parameters
    CALL FUNCTION 'ME_PRICING_DIALOG'
         EXPORTING
              dunkel = 'X'
              infoa = la_eina
              infoe = la_eine
              meins = i_meins
              menge = i_menge
              termin = i_termin.
Price computations in Purchasing
    CALL FUNCTION 'ME_PRICING_INFORECORD'
         EXPORTING
              dialog_not_by_zero = 'X'
              infoa              = la_eina
              infoe              = la_eine
              simulation         = 'X'
         IMPORTING
              preisp             = la_komp
              preisk             = la_komk
              e_currency         = l_currency.

Purchase info record extraction logic

Hi,
   Iam in process of Data migration for Purchase inforec from SAP 4.7 to ECC 6,
   So please provide your inputs on logic for extracting Purchase info record -
Tables Used:
1) ENIA
2) EINE
3) A017
4) KONP,
    The problem is I need the link between EINE and A017(which field is used as reference between this 2 tables for extracting conditions)
Thanks
Rajesh. R

Hi,
to fetch the data related to the info records you need to add the eine and eina fields that is vendor, plant, material, purchase organization, info record type (std, s/c, pipeline or consignment but these are stored in numbers). these values are put together will give you the basic price / gross price condition record no. this you have to pass into KONP. one more thing this will have the validity period for the basic price. and under one condition record no there might be more conditions maintained such as discount, surcharge, freights etc.

Purchase Info record price conditions

Hello Gurus,
My client wants to extract their Purchase Info Record in R/3 to the BW Environment. This I have already done.
The problem now is that my client wants to see the price conditions associated to the Info Record. To see the conditions you have to select validity time period first and only after that you have the prices associated.
Do you know if there is a way to transfer this kind of data to BW without creating a custom DataSource?
Best regards

hi,
Yeah, I just checked it..
Its not possible in Std. SAP system...
There is no field provided for the same...
the other way, but doesn't applies to you...as you are doing massive job...
still if req. then check..
The other way is:
Maintain Quotation and ref. it in inforecord...price gets updated easily from it...

Purchase info record numbering

Hi,
I need to create purchase info record for a meterial. for that i have done the following.
1. Created purchase infor record numbering range and group.
2. But at the time of creating the purchase info record the number which displaying is not related to
number i have created.
Please let me know where purchase info record group is assigned for numbering.
regards
Suresh S

Hi Suresh,
I undersatand your requirement.
SAP has provided only Two standard document Types for Pur. Info Records.
IL for Stock Material ( with matl No.)
IN For material Group (w/o MMR).
By default, if you enter Matl No. in the initial screen, system automatically picks the doc. type IL and the no. range assigned to it.
If you're not entered matl. no. in the initial screen, and proceed the Transaction further, system picks the doc. type IN and prompts you to enter Matl Group.
In the second case, the system picks up the no. range as per assignment.
Here in your case, you want create a new no. range and assign to your IL/ IN.
For this, you go to the transaction Define No. Ranges in Inforecord, from menu bar, choose Group-> maintain. Here you maintain your new no. range with a name. Now your new group is created with your required no. range.
Then select your new group ( Check box), select, IL, and click assign button and save.. Your IL is assigned to your new group and system picks the new No. Range when you are creating a Inforecord with Mat No. Similarly, you can change No. range for IN also.
or one more option you have.
In the first screen of No. Ranges Transaction, select change intervals tab button, you'll be goto intervals screen. There, from Menu bar, choose Interval-> change current No. Then you reset your current no. to Zero, save it. The again choose Change Interval, then in that screen, change the Interval with your new no. range.
Here in the second case, u need not maintain new groups. Just changing the Interval for the existing group.
You can adopt any one of these options.

kanth

Purchase Info record unable to find from ME57

Hi All,
I created Purchase info record(ME13) and Source list(ME03). But when I run MRP then purchase requisition is creating ,But
when I check in ME57,Purchase requisition unable to find the purchase info record for that material.
Please advise.
Pranitha

Hi
In source list you are only entering the vendor not the info record, if you are entering an outline agrrement either contract or sched.agreement in the source list (in the agreement column) ,then yu will get the agreement number in the p.req.
But you are entering just vendor mane in the source list so yu will get the vendor name only in the p.r
create a sourcelist for the material ,in that enter any agreement name and save ,then run MRP you will get the agreement number in the screen
Check it out
It is std.sap procedure, if you are creating a p.req manually you will get the info record number in the item detail.
Bur via MRP you can only get the fixed vendor because in the source list you are entering only the vendor name ,you are not menttioning the info record number.
But incase of outline agreement you are entering the agreement number in the sourcelist.
MRP is ceated purely based on what you have entered in the source list. hope you clear.
Let me know if you have any clarification on this.
Thanks
