Service info records

All SAP Gurus,
As we have Purchasing info records, for materials.
Similarly for procuring services, do we have anything like service info records?
If yes what is the path to maintain/create those?
Regards,

The purchasing info record is a source of information for Purchasing on a certain material and the supplier of this material. It contains data such as the vendoru2019s current prices and conditions for this material, the number of the last PO, or the time interval in which the vendor can supply the material.
Creating Info Record for Material w/o Master Record
If you wish to create an info record for a material without a master record, you must create the info record for a material group.
Choose Master data ® Info record ® Create.
The initial screen is displayed.
Enter the vendor. Do not fill the Material field
Specify the following:
u2013 Whether the info record applies to a certain plant (enter the purchasing organization and plant) or
u2013 Whether the info record is plant-independent (enter the purchasing organization only)
u2013 The info record category
Press ENTER .
The general data screen appears.
In the General Data view, enter the following mandatory data:
u2013 Short description of the info record or material in the first entry field
u2013 Material group to which the info record is assigned
u2013 Order unit used for the material
u2013 Sort term (key) covering several info records that belong to a material group
Enter the vendor data (if it is not already suggested by the system, having been taken from the vendor master record), the origin data, and the supply options.
In the Purchasing Organization Data view, enter the data for the purchasing organization if you entered a purchasing organization in step 2. Press ENTER to display the purchasing organization data screen.
You must enter the following data:
u2013 Vendor's planned delivery time (used for scheduling)
u2013 Responsible purchasing group
u2013 Standard PO quantity (used for price determination in conjunction with price scales)
You can enter data such as tolerances allowed for underdeliveries and overdeliveries.
Enter the net price. You have two options:
u2013 You enter the net price per unit in the Net price field. This price includes the vendor's normal discounts or surcharges only - cash discounts for prompt payment, for example, are calculated separately.
u2013 You enter the gross price in the Net price field and then maintain the pricing conditions. (To do this, choose Extras ® Conditions.) The system automatically replaces the entered gross price with the calculated net price.
(Refer to Maintaining Conditions.)
Enter texts (internal info record memo and purchase order text). Choose Goto ® Texts to display the text overview.
Save the info record.
Repeat steps 2 to 8 for all purchasing organizations and plants that are to be assigned to the info record.

  • Purchase Info Record - Service

    Hi
    Purchase Info Record is for combination of vendor and material and it will populate the values while creating PO.
    Is that same for Service PO ?. Do we have Purchase Info Record for Service(Item Category-Service) PO .
    Thanks

    hi,
    Sorry, yes there is no direct info catagory available for the same in ME11..(I have jus misunderstood)...The info cat. available is only for the std, subcontracting , pipeline and consignment...
    But while creating a PIR you can refer the quotation maintained for the services, by using the Porg 2 data tab...Here you can enter the quotation number and can make the info record...
    Pls check...
    Hope it helps..

  • Web Service to Create a Document Info Record with attachments (e.g. PDF)

    Hello guys,
    we are looking forward to create a Web Service that should be able to create a Document Info Record on SAP ERP Application Server. As we don't have installed the SAP Standard Web Services on our SAP ERP ECC 6.0 system we will manually create a Web Service with the help of the standard BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2.
    The current problem is that the Web Service based on the Standard BAPI can not upload Files (PDF or Word files) from the Users Client PC to the Application Server.
    Is there a possibility to Create a Web Service that can handle files and create DIRs on application server?
    Thanks a lot!!
    Regards,
    Christian

    Hello Natallia,
    Well, in this case you don't really need the CV01N transaction. This represents the user interface (UI), and you only need an interface (that is, an API), which in SAP is represented by a BAPI
    I'm not familiar with CRM, but I assume that at some point when saving a Service Contract, you have a BAdI, where you can check the status and insert some custom code.
    So, all you have to do is call BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE or BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 (if available on your installed version), with the required attributes (this can be master data, classification, custom data...). After this function is called successfully, you should receive the document key (DOKAR, DOKNR, DOKVR, and DOKTL). Which you can also save in the Attachments tab.
    Hope this helps,

  • Info records for service

    How to maintain info record for service items? Can it be updated from quotation?
    Alok

    Hi Alok,
    You can create purchasing info records for different procurement types (standard, subcontracting, pipeline, consignment).
    You can create purchasing info records:
    1. For a material with a material master record, you need the number of the material master record.
    2. For a material without a material master record, the following information is required:
    Material short text (short description)
    Order unit
    Material group
    Sort term (key), for finding the info record once it has been created
    Go through the link, it will be helpful:

  • Multiple Material Numbers to use one Info Record

    I have several material numbers that I have recently set up as Subcontracting special procurement. All of these numbers use one quote from our vendor. How do I assign multiple numbers to a single info record?
    Thanks for your assistance!!

    SAP knows 2 kind of subcontracting scenarios, a purchasing route and a production route.
    in the purchasing subcontract scenario you order the finished material with item category L, you can see the components in the purchase order and you consume the components when you post the goods receipt to  this purchase order.
    in the production route, you create production orders to "manufacture" the finished and to consume the components, the purchase order is only to procure the service. you do goods receipt and cosumption in reference to the production order, and you do a goods receipt for the service in reference to the purchase order.
    if the info record is without material number,then you cannot have a permanent  link to a material if you use the purchasing route.
    Usually SAP will propose the info record as source when you assign and process requisitions in ME57. I doupt that SAP will propose info records without material number for requisition with material number. so the only chance to assign such info record to a PO to get the price defaulted would be manual entry of info record number in ME21N (F4 search help is available)
    in the production subcontracting process you can enter the info record number in the recipe, so you can establish a permanent link in master data. So SAP exactly knows which info record price to pull for the service orders. and in this process you can enter one info record number in several recipes.

  • Info Record with  Vendor Evaluation

    Hi gurus.
    I'm activating Vendor valuation functionality at ECC6.0, so I have defined the following:
    Main Criteria . 05-Services
    Subcriteria           1- Quality Services with scoring method C
                               2-Services timeliness with scoring methos D
    Both subcriteria are semi automatic, means is possible include any score via Info Record and after that run  vendor evaluation via ME61.
    When I try to update info record (Me12 ) via Extras->Vendor Evaluation, no subcriteria is showed for change. I just get Main criterion 05-Service. I think any customizing is missing..
    please advice...
    Best Regards.

    Hi Arminda.
    Yes, they were set as you mentioned but the  problem persist.
    Best regards.

  • In the case of a fixed vendor, please enter info record

    Hello Experts
    When I make a Purchase Requisition allocated to a fixed asset and I also indicate the fixed vendor, the following error appears:
    "In the case of a fixed vendor, please enter info record"
    We are not maintaining info records. For material and service purchases, if I type the fixed vendor, the info records are generated automatically by the system and we do not care about them. But for fixed assets it does not allow me to save if I enter the fixed vendor. How can I make to be created automatically also for the fixed assets?
    Thanks in advance
    Best regards

    sure, SAP creates info records itself when you do a purchase order.
    but SAP does not create info records when you create a purchase requisition.
    if you want a fixed vendor in a purchase requisition, then you have to have an info record first.
    so you either enter a desired vendor for this first time and can use fixed vendor with the second ocurance, or the requisitioner asks purchasing to create the info record manually. or you create the PO without requisition for the first time.
    see OSS Note 63600 - Required vendor - fixed vendor for IW32
    it explains the reason for the error message and a workaround.

  • Info record and pro

    How does Info Record tie in the procurement cycle, or how does it integrates with the purchase cycle
    Thanks
    Ganga

    Hi,
    Purchasing Info Records serves as a source of information for Purchasing. The purchasing info record (also referred to in abbreviated form as the "info record") contains information on a specific material and a vendor supplying the material. For example, the vendor's current pricing is stored in the info record.
    The info record allows buyers to quickly determine:
    Which materials have been previously offered or supplied by a specific vendor
    Which vendors have offered or supplied a specific material structure.
    Content of an Info Record:
    The info record contains:
    Data such as prices and conditions that you can store for the relevant purchasing organization or plant.
    The number of the last purchase order.
    Tolerance limits for overdeliveries and underdeliveries.
    The planned delivery time (lead time required by the vendor to deliver the material).
    Vendor evaluation data.
    An indicator showing whether the vendor counts as the 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.
    The info record contains quotation and ordering data. The data in the info record (prices for example) is also used as default data for purchase orders.
    For instance, you can store the current and future quotation conditions (discounts, fixed costs etc.) in the info record, in order to be able to copy them into Pos. You can also maintain the vendoru2019s conditions directly in the info record.
    Organizational Levels:
    An info record can apply to the following organizational levels:
    Purchasing organization
    Plant
    Procurement Types in Info Records:
    Standard
    A standard info record contains information for standard purchase orders. The info records can be created for materials and services with and without master records.
    Subcontracting
    A subcontractor info record contains ordering information for subcontract orders. For example, if you subcontract the assembly of a component, the subcontractor info record would include the vendor's (subcontractoru2019s) price for assembling the component.
    Pipeline
    A pipeline info record contains information on a vendoru2019s commodity that is supplied through a pipeline or pipes (for example, oil or water) or by similar means (for example, electricity through the mains). The info record contains the vendoru2019s price for the consumption of such commodities by the buyer ("pipeline withdrawals"). You can store withdrawal/usage prices for different validity periods.
    Consignment
    A consignment info record contains information on a material that vendors keep available at their own cost on the ordereru2019s premises. The info record contains the vendoru2019s price for withdrawals by the orderer from consignment stock. As in the case of the pipeline info record, you can store prices for different validity periods.
    Order Price History
    The purchase order price history logs the various prices charged for a material by a vendor.
    Texts in the Info Record
    The info record contains the following text types:
    Info record memo
    An internal note or comment that is adopted in the PO item. The info record memo is not printed out.
    PO text in info record
    This text serves to describe the order item and corresponds to the PO text in the material master record. It is adopted in the PO item and included in the printout.
    Short text
    For material that has a material master record, the short text (short description) is adopted directly from the material master record in the PO or the outline purchase agreement.
    PO Text in Info Record Versus PO Text in Material Master Record
    For an info record linked to a material master record, you can specify for each purchasing organization whether:
    Only the info record PO text is to be displayed and printed in purchasing documents (To do so, set the indicator No m. text in the purchasing organization data of the info record)
    or
    Both the info record PO text and the material master record PO text are to be displayed and printed in purchasing documents
    Both texts are displayed and printed if the indicator No m. text is not set.
    Reward if useful.

    Hi Jurgen,
    Thanks for reply.
    Our issue is while creating work order(IW31) having external services upon entering info record number in some cases in same client rate is picked up from info record condition but some times from last purchase order based on info update.
    We have checked following points.
    1.In all the cases work order type  is same.
    2.Info record are of standard type with same condition.info record are for vendor & material group combination.
    3.Checked after changing rate in info record and in purchase order but similar issue exists
    4.Compare vendor master also.
    5.Their are no contract /sch.agreement for vendors.
    Our requirement is to have rate from info record in all the cases in work order.So have two options.
    1.Archiving info record-But will need setting in SPRO and also need to create same record again with same combination.Also as their are recent purchase order against those info record not sure whether system will allow or not.Can you please tell what are prerequiste for archiving info record.
    or
    2.To remove only purchase order number updated in EINE table in those info record where this issue is occuring.We have checked in development system and after removing purchase order number in EINE table it picks up rate from info record.
    So thought of checking before removing order ref.from EINE table.
    Thanks

  • Info record lead time default

    Hey Gurus,
    We have a situation in which the business is maintaining planned delivery lead time in the info record as to the material master.  There are values in both but we are finding that when running CTM that it is using the planned delivery time populated in the product master.  We woudl like CTM to consider using the lead time that is populated in the external procurement relationship first.  Is there a setting to change this or is this how the logic should work in APO?
    Sincerely,
    Kris Kraft

    Hi,
    There is setting in feild usage:leadtime in tlane. According to information I have even with this setting for scheduling of external procurement will be done according to transportation duration maintained in Tlane in SNP.
    You can try with following options-:
    1. Maintain Gr processing time including planned delivery time.(Grprocessing time= Actual Gr processing time+Planned delivery time.)
    2. There is one SAP note in service market place which gives sample coding to default transportation duration in mode of transport equal to planned delivery time from purchase record while tranfering purchase info record. this will be better option.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,

  • Relevance of material info record & linkage to mm pricing

    Dear SAP users,
    Can any one tell me about relevance of material info record & its link to Material  master pricing filed in costing/accounting view.
    At the time of creating material ID, do we have to update the  cost. If the item is manufactured in-house how do we know the cost inadvance to update.
    Pl. suggest some best practice.
    Regards
    T.S.Shankar

    Dear Shanker,
    PIR (purchase inf record) is used when we ave dfferent procurement type.--subcontracting, standard, pipeline etc.
    For example, if you subcontract the assembly of a component, the subcontractor info record would include the vendor's (subcontractor’s) price for assembling the component.
    The info records can be created for materials and services with and without master records.
    The PIR contains:
    Data such as prices and conditions that you can store for the relevant purchasing organization or plant
    Tolerance limits for overdeliveries and underdeliveries
    The planned delivery time (lead time required by the vendor to deliver the material)
    An indicator showing whether the vendor counts as the regular vendor for the material,,etc..

  • Catalog generation from info record

    Hi,
    I'm studying CCM 2.0 to implement catalog processes and I've seen a presentation from SAP that when implementing that classic scenario, I can transfer info record, contracts and material master from ECC to CCM via transaction MECCM.
    1- What's the matter of importing info records? Only to see the last price that I've practiced for a product/supplier?
    2- Is there a manner to set the replication to only transfer material contracts and not service ones? Can I set it in the contract in ECC?
    Regards,
    Cristiano Soares

    Hello Cristiano,
    1- What's the matter of importing IR ? Your question could be resumed to "What's the matter of using PIR in R/3 ? ))))". Some SAP users are using PIR only, and not contracts. So this is THE source of material/vendor price.
    2- In MECCM standard transaction, you don't have material type filter, but material ID. If yo uhave linked material types to different number ranges you could use material ID. Otherwise you can easily copy this program to add your own criterias. This program is rather simple:
    - data extraction (material/contracts/PIR)
    - XML generation
    - send XML to XI proxy

  • Is functionality lost by not using 'contract', but instead info records?

    My company is going through a data cleansing, and we would like to prioritize info records. What's the benefit of using "contract" over "info record" and vice versa? Do we lose functionality by dismissing contract completely? (Certainly, we would have contracts, but the legal agreement would be handled externally.)

    Hi,
    PIR Serves as a source of information for Purchasing. It contains information on a specific material and a vendor supplying the material. For example, the vendor's current pricing is stored in the info record.
    The info record allows buyers to quickly determine:
    Which materials have been previously offered or supplied by a specific vendor
    Which vendors have offered or supplied a specific material
    A contract is a type of outline purchase agreement against which release orders (releases) can be issued for agreed materials or services as and when required during a certain overall time-frame.
    Contracts are of two types:
    1. Quantity contracts - Use this type of contract if the total quantity to be ordered during the validity period of the contract is
    known in advance.
    2. Value contracts - Use this type of contract if the total value of all release orders issued against the contract is not to exceed a certain predefined value.
    Thanks
