Selection of Items in purchase order

Hi All,
We have defined limited item groups as the g/l determination is through item groups. and sub grouping part we have defined it in item properties.
Issue is that at the time of creating Purchase order selecting of items is bit difficult to the users. is there any way we can find items through properties name in purchase order at the time of selecting items.
There I can see Property1,2,3---64 but not the names of the properties which was defined in item properties.
Is there any way to make it user friendly.
Regards
shashi

In the 'List of Items' window for selecting Items, click on Form Settings and next to Field Name, you have
"Displayed Name" here type the description of the Property.
Now this Name would be displayed in the 'List of Items' window.

Delete item from Purchase Order

Dear All,
I want to cancel line item from Purchase Order.
But i am unable to do it as i have already made advance payment against PO/Item.
Actually advance payment was against another Item of PO but by mistake selected wrong item while f-47.
Now i want to delete item for which made avance payment and transfer advance payment with another PO item.
How to do it.
Regards
Swati

Hi,
Your Issue
Lets say, you have created two items in a PO, and made adv payment against item 10 instead of 20.
Now you want to delete the item 10---
Solution
I hope you have not done any GRN to both items (10 & 20) of your PO.
Then make your item 10 as same as your item 20. (Do change the material code, order qty, price etc)
Then delete the item 20.
So with this, you have made your errorised PO item as actual item, and deleting yout actual PO item as errorised item.
This is as good as swaping the items from one item to another item in the same PO.
This will resolve your issue.
Thanks,
Srinu

Alternative items on Purchase Order

Hi Experts:
I have a question regarding the alternative items on Purchase order. If alternative item A2 is setup for item A1 from Vendor XYZ, and if we place a PO with XYZ for item A1 but they ship item A2: can we receive A2 in stock on the initial PO for A1? Dose SAP have these kind of solutions?
Thanks and best regards

Hi,
there is one good solution for this sort of requirement...However, the limitations are there; may be suitable for example, we order for envelopes from vendor. You may order for one type of envelope and vendor may send other type...size may be the same, one envelope with window for address and other type may not have a window....similar such situations can be easily address using the standard SAP's below example: (I implemented this already in 2 projects previously)
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/9f/fb79385feddf6ae10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
Example: Configurable Materials in Purchasing
You are responsible for procuring office supplies for your company, including envelopes. A printing firm supplies you with envelopes featuring your company logo in various sizes, with or without an address window.
In order not to have to create separate material master records for every possible combination (e.g. C5 with window, C6 without window), you wish to use a configurable material.
You must carry out the following activities for a configurable material:
Create characteristics
Create class
Create material
Create configuration profile
Create Characteristics
You define the criteria you use to differentiate between the variants of a material (in this case, the size of the envelope and the address window) by means of characteristics. You must create a characteristic for each criterion under Logistics ® Central Functions ® Classification System ® Master Data ® Characteristics Management.
Characteristic: Size of envelope
Enter size_of_envelope in the field Characteristic.
Choose Create.
Enter the following data on the tab page Basic Data:
· Description: Size of envelopes
· Data type: Character format
· Number of characters: 20
This indicates how many characters a characteristic value may comprise.
· Select the Single value indicator in the area Value assignment.
If you set the Single value indicator, one value only may be assigned to the characteristic. For example, only one size may be chosen when you specify the dimensions of the envelopes that are to be ordered in a PO.
Enter the following data on the tab page Values:
· Enter possible values for the characteristic:
Characteristic value
Description
DIN C4
229 mm x 324 mm
DIN C5
229 mm x 162 mm
DIN "Langhülle"
218 mm x 114 mm
DIN C6
162 mm x 114 mm
· Select the Additional values indicator.
If this indicator is selected, you may also specify values that you have not yet defined here when assigning values to the characteristic.
Choose the class type 300 (variants) on the tab page Restrictions.
Choose Save.
Characteristic: Address window in envelope
Enter window_in_envelope in the field Characteristic.
Choose Create.
Enter the following data on the tab page Basic Data:
· Description: Address window in envelopes
· Data type: Character format
· Number of characters: 4
· Select the Single value indicator in the area Value assignment.
Enter the following data on the tab page Values:
· Values of characteristic: yes , no
· Do not select the Additional values indicator.
Choose the class type 300 (variants) on the tab page Restrictions.
Choose Save.
Create Class
You group several characteristics to form a class. The class is then assigned to a material.
Choose Logistics ® Central functions ® Classification system ® Master data ® Class management.
Enter the following data on the initial screen:
· Class : Envelope
· Class type: 300 (variants)
Choose Create.
Enter a short description of the class in the Description field on the tab page Basic data: Envelopes with company logo.
On the tab page Characteristics, enter the characteristics you created previously: size_of_envelope, window_in_envelope .
Choose Save.
Create Material
Choose Logistics ® Materials management ® Material master ® Create material ® Create (general) ® Immediately.
Enter the following data:
· Material: Envelope
· Industry sector: Office supplies
· Material type: Configurable material
Choose Enter.
Choose the views Basic Data 1, Basic Data 2, Purchasing, and Accounting 1.
Enter plant 0001.
Enter the following data on the tab page Basic Data 1:
· Short description of the material: Envelopes with company logo
· Base unit of measure: KI (box)
· Material group: Office supplies
On the tab page Basic Data 2, check whether the Material is configurable is selected.
On the tab page Purchasing, select the Subject to batch management indicator.
On the tab page Accounting 1, enter the following data:
· Valuation class:
· Price control: V
· Moving average price: 99.95
Choose Save.
Create Configuration Profile
In the configuration profile, you assign characteristics to the material via a class.
Choose Logistics ® Central functions ® Variant configuration ® Configuration profile ® Create.
Select Material and choose Enter .
Enter envelope in the field Material.
Choose Goto ® Profile overview.
Enter the following data:
· Priority: 01
· Profile name: Envelopes
· Class type: 300 (variants)
Choose Goto ® Class assignment and enter envelope in the Class field.
Choose Save.
Use in Purchasing
You can now create, change and display this configurable material in all purchasing documents.
Display
If a configuration already exists for the material, you can display it in the purchasing document.
Change
If the configuration of the material was adopted from a sales order or from the material master record, you can change it in the purchasing document. This may be necessary if a material with the selected characteristic value cannot be supplied (is not available) and has to be changed to the material in the quotation.
If you change the configuration of a material in the purchasing document:
A new price determination process is carried out
You do not change the original configuration in the sales order or in the material master record as a result
Subsequent changes to the sales order or the material master record do not affect the configuration in the purchasing document
Create
If no configuration yet exists for a configurable material, you can create one in the purchasing document. This may be necessary, for example, if a configurable material is to be ordered without reference to a sales order.
Subcontracting items and the archiving of the characteristic values are not supported.
For more information on configurable materials, refer to the section LO Variant Configuration.

"All items from purchase order cannot be invoiced"

Hello, 
 
I'm on a SRM 7.0 SP 5 system (ext-classic scenario). Here i try to create an invoice with reference to a Purchase Order, but none of my Purchase Orders can be used for reference. I get the following warning message 'All items from purchase order cannot be invoiced'. 
 
- Created via POWL (create with reference -> invoice/credit memo) i always get the warning message 'All items from purchase order cannot be invoiced'. And no items are converted / can be used for invoicing. Additionally when i use the search option 'find purchase order' within the create invoice transaction i can not find any purchase order to use, it shows 'There is no search result' while there are plenty purchase orders marked with 'invoice expected'. 
 
I am able to create invoices without reference. 
 
I tried vendors set up only for 'invoice expected' and 'GR', 'invoice expected' / 'GR' / 'GR-based-IV' and 'invoice expected' only none of them works, indicators set on vendor master are correctly used on the created purchase order. Outputting PO doesn't make any difference neither. 

I have not set up the following (do i need to?): 
- Deactivated the 'CRME' transaction type, no Credit Memo transaction type has been configured/is active. 
- I have not defined the 'INV' transaction type as a follow-on document for my ECPO transaction type within the define transaction type transaction. 
- Tollerances 
 
edit -> i've already searched thorougly for SAP notes but no note seems to cover this particular problem. 
 
Help is very much appreciated

Solved! Added SYS attribute for back-end system in organisational scheme.

Not to include item from purchase order to the delivery order

Hi,
i need some guidance on above topic. The user requested to have the functionality not to include the item from purchase order to delivery order when the item having order balance quantity more than the available stock.
In other words, if a PO contains several items, those order balance quantity which is more than the available stock will not be included in the DO.
is the above scenario possible?
please advise.
Thanks.

Hi Yue ,
u can do it , but in this case u have to make use of user exit or BADI.
option 1 .
by using user exit , u can delete/change picking/confirm qty .
option2:
while doing the PGI , do can cross check stock avail with PO qty and raise error messages.

Retrieve Material group item in Purchase Order.

Hi all,
I would need to retrieve the material group from item in Purchase order to compare in Step condition in workflow.
I have a copy of WS14000075. The container from this WF hasn't this field, at least that I know.
How can to retrieve this value from purchase order?
Some idea for it?
Many Thanks,
Regards,
David.

Hi Nishant,
I will obtain the material group, but I need pass to workflow the value for each item and compare it with another values obtained from Z table (this part is implemented).
I would need something similar to BO BUS2121 attribute "MaterialGroup".
Many Thanks.

Are you looking to do this from an ABAP program or from the PO Screens? EKPO does have a field for the Deletion Indicator. Is there a reason why you would choose to do this from an ABAP program rather than the ME22n?

Field Selection Keys related to Purchase Order

Hi,
I have a query regarding Field Selection Key.
When we go to Field Selection Screen connected to Purchase Order, we can find so many Field Selection Keys viz., $$$$, $$$2, AKTH, ME21N, etc.
How to judge which is to be used when?
I like to know how these Field Selection Keys are linked to Purchase Order Screen in the background.
Please guide me in this regard by giving proper suggestions in this regard.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Karthik,
Thanks for your valuable information.
I like to know few more things.
1) Is it possible to create our own Field Selection Key?
2) If you observe the list of Field Selection Keys related to Purchase Order Screen, you can see that there are Field Selection Keys by name ME21N, ME21, AKTH, etc.
If the Field Selection Keys are predefined by SAP, it is OK. But, if there is an option to create our own Field Selection Key, then what is the procedure to do the same?
It seems that ME21N, ME21, and AKTH are used for Create Purchase Order Screen.
There are also keys ME22N and ME23N used for Change Purchase Order Screen and Display Order Screen.
I am little bit confused about this.
We are linking the Field Selection Keys to the Document Types.
But, I think it is only for create Purchase Order Screen. Please correct, if I am wrong.
Also, I like to know how we are linking the Field Selection Keys related to Change Purchase Order Screen and Display Purchase Order Screen?
Please clarify all my doubts by giving proper suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Restriction for items from Purchase Order based on Sale Order

Hi !
We create PO directly from Sale Order ( by ticking Option under Logistic tab, 'Purchase Order') for customer C01 (for eg).
From the PO created, we post GRPO.
Now our need is,
Assume if 10 Qty is been ordered in such a way and been received (GRPO posted). it 'll add on to the stock account i.e will increase stock qty at our whse.
is it possible to restrict these 10 qty of item from being sold to any other Customer other than whom hav ordered i.e if we create sale order for C02 the SBO should not take the items received from PO created based on Sales Order created for C01?
Meera.

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

Items and Purchase Orders...

Help...Please...
We have a problem, we run stock close to minimum at all times, (we supply short dated food stuff), and often our customers ask when the next delivery is due in.
Now, we can drag and relate etc but often our staff just don't have time to search through the purchase orders to find the correct item and then when it's due in etc...
I am trying to create a UDF that sits on the item master data and for each item runs a query that states the date the item is due in from the purchase order.
So, in english/sql I need,
Select item shown and find appropriate purchase orders, select top 1, (ie the next delivery date), and enter it into the UDF...
I really am stuck in a way to code it, I've tried various ways but I think I'm going about it the wrong way or I'm missiong something, a date function / variable...
Can anyone help?
Cheers,
Gary

Hello Gary,
Here is the sql:
SELECT TOP 1 T1.ShipDate FROM OPOR T0 INNER JOIN POR1 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry WHERE T1.ItemCode =$[OITM.ItemCode] ORDER BY T1.ShipDate desc FOR BROWSE
Just save it and link to the UDF.
