Seperate Inco Terms on at Plant level

Hi
I am new to this forum and I need your help to find out if there are any quick solution to my below issue. Our business has a requirement where there would be a new plant rolled-out under the same company code but having a different delivery address so for any external purchasing from Vendors, they are suggesting we have a new Purchase Organisation in order to in-corporate a seperate Inco-terms so it would appear on the PO print. I am not sure if this is the correct solution as because that would be lot of work in terms of Master data creation, etc. Instead I proposed we could maintain Inco-terms at Plant level in the PIR's so that would be picked on the PO output. But since we also have A/c assigned PO's and other Service items for which there are no PIR's, how can we handle this situation? Obviously for these orders, the Inco terms are getting picked from the Vendor Master. And I am sure this is not a unique problem as anyone will have the same issue!!
Could you please tell me if there is any better solution or any user exit which solely handle these type of situations? We are on ECC 6.0 btw.
Thanks in advance
Cath

Hi Ajit / Jurgen
Your valuable answers pointed me to the right direction, many thanks for that!! When we wish to raise a PO with A/C assignment (free text items) or for service items, the concept of Inco terms does not arise. So in these cases, the Alternative data in the Purchasing view of Vendor Master really helps to have different sets of data with the plant combinations. So when I maintained different Inco terms for two seperate plants for the same Vendor (even though he is with different Company Codes!), I could able to create two PO's with outputs showing different Inco terms. So this test proves what I am aiming for and clear any confusions (I am talking about me
Thanks once again guys

Payment Terms fetch Issue(Plant Level) @ SRM 7.0

Hello Experts,
We are currently implementing SRM 7.0 system(Classical Scenario) across regions.In one such scenario we found out that when we create a PO directly in SRM the Payment Terms is fetched correctly from the Vendor Master at Plant Level(Bypassing the Purch Org Level data, since Standard SAP looks for plant specific data & the same has been implemented in SRM by enahancing the BADI BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI (Implementation ZBBP_DOC_CHANGE_PO ,Method :- BBP_PO_CHANGE using a Custom FM with SQL Query on LFM2)
However when a PO is ordered via the Shopping Cart method,the payment term is fetched at Purch org level,even though we have an Alternative Data(at Plant level) in R/3.
The Header & Item Level Data are the same.for both the PO's. Can someone please give some pointers on fixing this issue.As we know from SAP,fetching Plant related Payment Term into SRM is not a SAP Standard Feature & thus a custom logic was implemented.Payment Term Table(BBP_PAYTERM) is updated with the latest data with all Payment Term translations maintained in R/3.
Awaiting your suggestions.
Thanks,

Inco terms--vendor master& info record

Hi Stephen & Friends,
I need your input on this subject.
Incoterms we can maintain at vendor level and in info record also.
If you maintain different incoterms info record.
In the purchase order ,, you can find header inco terms will be the vendor,,,, and at item level,,,inco terms will be adopted from infor record.
Which inco terms has got precedence over other.
What exactly system detmines the from this,
please respond.
Regards,
Sudhakar babu.

Hi Sudhakar,
The Inco-terms are internationally accepted rules for world trade. In this way, purchasers can collaborate with their vendors to define delivery conditions and connected buyer and seller obligations. - SAP Help Document
Now coming to the specific case which you have mentioned:
The inco-term maintained at item level takes precedence over the one maintained at header level. The reason SAP provides this option is because, in a single PO you might have multiple items & each one of those might have to be transported in a different manner. But if no inco-term is maintained at item level, then the header level inco-term is used.
Hope this answers your question.

Vivek

How inco terms is getting picked in PO

Hi All,
Can you please let me know hoe inco terms is getting picked in PO when we create a PO.
Note : In this case I've already checked the vendor master and info record. The inco term is not maintained in both these places but still it gets picked in PO when I create one.

hi neethu,
I have worked for some more in this regards.
First i am more worried of how these 5 indicators (delcom,GR,GRnonval,Final,PArdel) are comming in the Delivery tab at the same time.
Because in Normal it it should be three( Decom,GR, GRnon)
it is STO it should be (DELcom Final inv,GRnon)
but i have tried for some wired option where i got all the 5 in the po, for acheving the same i have to create a Doc type as NB with control as T.
Know , I want to ask some more questions to understand the issue more and provide a solution
while creating the PO
1)whether vendor is displaying as vendor or it is showing as supplying plant
2)what is the Purchase order document type -mens its control feild and the feild setting that was maintained.
3) As you said that the vendor you are using is a plant, what is the account group of the same.code +description.
4) As you have stated that for only one plant this indicators are comming ,so which plant the plant in the vendor feild or the plant mentioned in the item level plant feild.
if you could give me the answers of the above ,we are very much near to the solution ,becoz i have worked out many permutations and combinations of the same.
but one question why are you using this process leaving the STO process for Plant ot plant transfer .
what is that perculiar req..
and regarding the PO history creation,it is standard setting in SAP for the PO history Tab in the SPRO
for the delivery costs a seperate line items gets created with the same material doc number
--> the reason is for the release of payments , the GRn can be for the main vendor but for the Freight which is a delivery cost it can be mainvendor or a different vendor ,to process it differelt in MIRO this setting is made.
HOpe so you are clear.
regards
Anjanna.

Inco terms in VL06O report

Hi,
Is there any way to display the INCO terms in the VL06O report? I have tried running at header (and item though INCO is in LIKP) level but don't get any result in the report - it is always blank. INCO doesn't seem to be in the selection criteria either - sometimes I notice, putting a wildcard in the selection field gives the results but no such luck with INCO. Having the same issue with the Distribution channel too - can't see it in the display of Vl06O.
Thanks!

Hi,
Check the link [Add new field in the report VL06O|Re: Add new field in the report VL06O -> List outbound deliveries;

Differentiate material at plant level

Hi,
I want to differentiate material at plant level.
Example I have a material 3335 in plant 1000 and 1100 but in plant 1000 this material is spare part and in plant 1100 this material is main part so I have to maintain this data at plant level.
I tried to enter this data in plant data tab in material master but it will grey out after I save material master for one plant and when I try to extend the material to another plant it will not allow to change.
I want to know a field where I can maintain this data.
Thanks and Regards
Pavan

you cannot have one material number with several material types.
the material type is even above the material number level, as you assign material number ranges to a group of material types.
You either have to create 2 materials, or one plant has to live with the "wrong" material type name.
More important than the name of material type are the attributes of a material type. As they define what views can be used, what fields will be mandatory or optional....
You will rarely find a transaction in SAP that uses the material type for selection or does show the material type in reports.
So dont build to much logic into the naming.
If you need to seperate spare part from main part n the GL accounts, then you can allow and assign a different valuation class.

Plant level settings

Dear All,
     During settings at plant level, in tab inspection lot creation , there is a field called u201CLot account assignmentu201D. What purpose does it serve?
Regards,

Hi
u201CLot account assignment
In simple terms is When Inspection lot is created a QN order will be created in Background.
In order to settle these Cost ..you have to specify Ind. settlement   & collective settlement type.
like
Order type: Ind. settlement   QL02
Order type: Coll. settlement QL01
This is possinel to process through Qk04.
The order type that is maintained here is only used, if no inspection-type related default value has been maintained for the order type 'QM orders'.----
>used when you do not specify QN order in QM view

Fast Change of Inco terms

HI All
Currently I have the same inco term for the header and line items in a sales order. If I change the inco in the header due to some reason, is there any way to change the inco term on the line item to the same value to that in the header?
OR
Is there any fast change way in the sales order to change hundreds of line item in the sales order for "inco term" value,.
Please advice
Thank

Hello,
When you create a sales document, the business data is only created on
header level. That is, the business data in the header is then valid for
all items. If an alternative value is now entered in the item, the new
value has validity for this item. The business data of the item is then
separated from the header data. Further changes to the business data
fields of the header no longer affect the changed item. If, then, the
terms of delivery are first changed in the item and then the term of
payment in the header, the new term of payment does not appear in the
changed item.
In particular, header data is not transferred into the item if there is
a billing plan for the item.
The incoterms are business date. if you change this data on the header they should taken over into the item if you have only one entry for the header (POSNR = 000000
) in table VBKD.
But if you have in table VBKD more than one entry with POSNR unequal 000000, then the changes on the header business data will not aken over into the item.
For Example:
MANDT VBELN        POSNR    KONDA KDGRP BZIRK
800   0000007100   000000   01          000003
800   0000007100   000010   01          000003
800   0000007100   000020   01          000003
Therefore it is not possible to taken over the changes of hte incoterms from the header into the item.
I hope that the information are helpful.

MCHB,MARD - Stock available at plant level and storage location level

Hi ,
How to determine how much stock available at Storage location level and Plant level. (Lot is not maintained).
In MCHB-Stock at lot level is shown.
In MARD-Stock at Storage Location level is shown lncluding
the stock maintaned at the lot level.
If i want to know the stock which is not maintained in Lot, i.e, Stocks directly maintained at Storage location / Plant.
Do I need to subtract the MCHB Value from MARD Value ?
Is there any other way available to find the stocks which is not maintained at lot level.
Regards
Prasath

Hi prashant,
What do u mean by stock maintained at SL level without batch level. Do u mean that some materials are subjected to batch management and some or not?
If that is the case, for all batch managed materials, u can see the stock at batch level and also same is summed up at SL level. But still what ever u are getting from MARD table isstock at SL level only.
If u have activated batch management for any material, it will always be shown at lot level also.
hope this clarfifies query

STOCK QUNTITY on posting date at a plant level

I need the stock quntity , issue quntity , reciept quntity and averege quantity at plant level for a period of week, and month
Is there any function that can do it or any table that has those detailes or any program?

Hi,
Check S031 table. It is a LIS info structure which store all goods movements in your system. But the key would based be on the variant your system configured to. I mean it will be either by Fiscal period/ Week/ Calendar Month for plant material.
Hope this will give you some clue.

Order split- at plant level

My client have 3 plants at different location. My client requirement is Every month he will receive order from his customers in one predefined format. That order should be copied into sales order ( VA 01) automatically. After receiving sales order, at the time of delivery , that delivery should be processed at plant level as per availability of products delivery . They are producing different products at different plant. Please explain me how it is possible into SAP. Thank in advance

Regarding SOs:
You can try out by scheduling batch jobs periodically.
Regarding Av. Chk :
1)Av chk happens at plant level only.
2) Av chk, according to ATP logic, will consider ONLY one/Single plant.
3) If you want Av chk across multiple plants, you must consider "Rule based Av. chk". For this APO must be connected to your system, where the Av chk takes place & the results are transferred to your system.
Hope , you are clear now.

Need help in updating Inco terms 1 and 2 in the Inbound delivery creation

Hi Group,
I have created an output type that will be triggered before an Inbound Delivery is created from the Outbound Delivery ( this scenario is in STO orders - Inter company stock transfer process ).
I have copied a standard processing routine and customized it but, I am not able to update the 2 fileds (INCO1 and INCO2) in the item delivery of the Inbound Delivery. I was using the FM 'WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE' to update these 2 fields( by passsing the values fetched from the Outbound Delivery into the structure 'vbkok_wa' and the Inbound delivery created into the field 'delivery' of the FM ).
When I run the the FM this is giving me errors and thus no Inbound Delivery is getting created.
Please suggest me with some other way of updating these fields in the Inbound Delivery.
and one more thing is that, I was selecting the Inco terms from the table LIKP directly, but this should not be the proper way to read the Incoterms, so please suggest me a way to read these 2 fields from the Outbound Delivery.
to summarize, I need an FM to get the Incoterms from Outbound Delivery initially, and then, require another FM to update these Incoterms in the Inbound Delivery( this is a typical scenario in an STO - Stock Transport Order ).
Please let me know your input on these 2 cases.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Regards
Vishnu.

Hi Group,
By implementing the BADI 'LE_SHP_DELIVERY_PROC' this particular requirement can be fulfilled.

Planned order not getting generated at plant level

Hi experts,
When i run MRP for a particular plant in T- code (MD01) Planned order is not getting generated but when MRP is done against a material in T - code (MD02) in the same plant planned order gets generated... Is there any customizing to generate planned order in plant level.....
Regards,
Joseph.
Edited by: joseph5885 on Aug 12, 2010 9:23 AM

Dear Joseph,
No it is not recommended. only in emergance cases this will be done
Usually in MDRE and MDAB will be scheduled before MRP run at background for inconistancies in planning file enries
So the above said t-codes will take care of the same

Activating auto PO Check Box in the purchasing view for plant level.

Hi Techies,
Right now i have an issue related to auto PO check box in the purchasing view for the plant level. There are three plants A,B,C.. For the plants A and B the automatic PO check box is visible and the user is able to provide input values. But when it comes to plant C the auto PO field is not available and hence the user is unable to provide input for auto PO.
Is there any configuration to be done to activate the auto PO check box in the purchasing view in the material master with respect to plant C?
If so could you please guide me with the settings?
Thanking you in advance.
Regards,
Gopalakrishnan.S
Edited by: krishu100 on Jul 13, 2011 2:25 AM

Hi Techies thanks for you all info.
Now today i just tried to created a new HALB Material in the plant C which i had issues yesterday. But when i created today a new material the Auto PO feild is available for entry. THen i tried to go to the material which i created yesterday for editing it. But i was unable to do it.
I checked the transactions which most of you referred(Very Useful). I found that all the plant s had the same screen selction setting and set as Opt Entry. The field screen referrence for MM01, MM02 Transaction s are also set as opt entry. The screen reference for HALB is also set as Opt entry. Still i m not able to find the field auto PO in the purchasing field.
So does it mean that a material once created without auto PO enabled or visible can never be updated after that? But i think its not the case and we should be able to edit it(correct me if im wrong).
Really having my fingers crossed to find a solution for this issue.

Gopalakrishnan.S
