Service Procurement without SUS

Hi! We are currently running on Extended Classic Scenario. I understand that there are 2 types of service procurement - classic and external staffing. Both talks about the use of SUS which will not support confirmation and invoicing for extended classic scenario (unless some consultancy from SAP). So, my question is whether I can run these 2 service procurement scenarios without the use of SUS? I would assume Yes but just like to get some confirmation here.
Thanks!
SF

Hi Guys,
I would like to know if in SRM 7.0 the new Service Procurement External Staffing scenario would work in the Extended classic scenario implementation? Or is this only supported in standalone?
Do we have to custom build the document exchange between ECC - SRM - SUS for confirmation and invoice documents like in SRM 5.0. I am searching for a possibilty to let the service agents themselfs fill in the confirmation with the service entry sheet.
If the extended classic scenario is supported then we are quickly done. Other possibility is to let an existing web application (to capture time sheets) generate a XML confirmation message and send this message to EBP via XI. This way the hours can also be captured. Invoicing can then by handled e.g. by ERS. What do you think?
Thx.

Hi,
If vendor provides service for you and you can procure the service and pay to vendor.
The configuration required are:
1.1. Define organization status for service category
SPRO u2013>MM-> ESM->Service master- >Define organization status for service category
1.2. Define Number Ranges
SPRO u2013>MM-> ESM->Service master- >.Define Number Ranges
1.3. Define Service Category
SPRO u2013>MM-> ESM->Service master- > Define Service Category
& you can do assignment of cost object ( cost center, project, sales order) with co.code with G/L account in OKB9 t.code and in t.code OBYC account assignment of WRX with G/L.
*****After above you can create Master data as Service master AC03
& the transactions are
A. Create PO in ME21N
When ur creating service PO (ME21N), u have to maintain item Category "D" and an account assignment category as per ur requirement (K or C). U can not enter ur material here only u have to maintain short text of material. Also u have to enter ur material group and plant .This is in item Overview details.In the "Item Details" u enter your service master or activity number u created in Service master then quantities, gross price.
A. The detail u have enter are:
a) Maintain Item Category as D
b) Keep material code field blank.
c) Enter description of service & other fields in the PO Item Overview level {assignment category as per ur requirement (K or C or P), material group and plant} Press Enter.
d) System will prompt you to maintain services at Item Level. Maintain your service master number / service description you created in AC03 & other fields (quantity / rate ) and then cost center or sales order number or WBS element.
e) Save the PO.
B. Create SES w.r.t. PO in ML81N
C. MIRO w.r.t. SES
D. Payment to vendor in F-53
E. Reports-> Use T. Code MSRV6 and execute it( can use also ML84).You can get actual quantity in service entry sheet. Or got to Display PO (ME23N) and check Purchase Order History and get the details of service details
The Accounting entries( without TAX) are:
F. SES
    Consumption Trading A/C: Dr
    GR/IR: Cr
G. MIRO
      GR/IR: Dr
      Vendor A/C: Cr
H. Payment:
     Vendor A/C: Dr
     Bank A/C: Cr

Does SAP SRM support accelarated service procurement?

Dear Guru's ,
Can you comment on if SAP SRM supports accelerated service procurement ? My client follows the below business process time to time:
While requiring to perform emergency services (which are also not high valued service), they directly create service entry sheet entering the service performed and create invoice against it in their existing MM system. They donot go for purchase creation and approval process as the effort does not justify the value of the transaction.
Now, since they are going for SAP SRM system, they want to transfer the accelerated service procurement process to SRM system as well.
Does SAP SRM support this business process i.e. creation of service entry sheet or confirmation without any reference to Purchase Order? I donot have any system to check it from myside..
Your inputs will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Hi
In Std SRM - GR is always is done with reference to Purchase Order
Therefore it is not possible to post GR or Services without any PO
Thanks

Hi Muthu,
Thx for your response, but these blogs do not provide an anwser to my question. I have read the release documentation of SRM 7.0, but even then I still have the above question.
Will this business scenario work in combination witht the extended classsic scenario (and how does SUS fits in this picture)?
Kind Regards,

GR/IR Posting at the time of Service Procurement

Dear SAP Friends,
I am working on the issue of Shipment & Shipment Costing.
In that scenario their is process of Service Procurement for Fright Charges paid to Transport Vendor.
Now in that case while making the Shipment Document system automatically creates the Service Entry Sheet in the Background with respect to Service PO created (Manually) for the same transport vendor.
We have maintained valuation class no.3225 for Freight Services & material group no. 960 for Services.
Also in Logistic Execution -
> Transportation -
> Shipment Cost -
> Shipment Cost Document -
> Shipment Cost Types and Item Categories (T_56). In this we have maintained valuation class 3225 with respect to Item Category/Automatic Proposal(Posting)/Valuation Class - 3225.
Also in OBYC - WRX (GR/IR Clearing) i have maintained Valuation Class - 3225 with required GL - 14820000.
But when we check the accounting entries for Service Entry Sheet systems does not pick the GL account with respect to valuation class maintained in OBYC - WRX. Instead system was picking the G/L account for which Valuation Class not maintained.
Our requirement is we want different G/L account for GI/IR clearing in the Shipment Process. We have also made the configuration for the same.
Thanks in Advance
Points surely awarded.
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi,
It is of the standard functionality of SAP that in case of WRX Transaction/Event Key for Service PO, the blank valuation class will be applied. The valuation class will only be used for this particular transaction/event key WRX in case of material.

External Service Procurement : Queries

I have three queries regarding external Service Procurement
1) IN SERVICES Purchase order , Over delivery Tolerance and unlimited TOLERANCE can be defined at two places ,
A) in Service tab aginst each service
B) iN po LINE ITEM , DELIVERY tAB
What is the use of defining at two places and how system works , if I define 0% Overdelivery in Services but checked "Unlimited" in Delivery tab , how system will behave ?
2) If I make OverDelivery tolerance in PO Line detail->delivery Tab as ZERO , UNLIMITED automatically gets changed to YES (Flaged) ... Why it is so ? I may have cases where I dont want any Overdeliver Tolerances ?
3) In SPRO -> MM-> EXTERNAL SERVICES Mgmt -> Define Screen layout ..
we can define our screen layouts for following combinations ( as per SAP Help)
1) Object (e.g. purchase order)
2) Document type (e.g. NB)
3) Transaction code (e.g. SAP transaction ME21N)
4) Release indicator (in the standard system: B)
You can define your own field selection strings for the specified release indicator. The field selection string must be identical with the relevant release indicator.
5) Item category (e.g. D for external service or B for blanket purchase order) e.g. ME21N, "Create purchase order".
What is the priority of searching relevant Screen layout ,
like If i have defined one field (Say service number) , mandatory at Object level , Display at Document level and optional at Tocode level ... Will system show me as Display/mandatory or optional ?
Pls do reply ...
Regards
Shrey

Hi DELHI INDIA,
1) when you are creating Service PO , you may enter service no. or just a short text . And in the item level service tab you enter the detailed service list . Now when you enter the overdelivery and unlimited details at
A) in Service tab aginst each service - it is only valid for that individual service
B) iN po LINE ITEM , DELIVERY tAB - it is valid for the whole line item
But always A overrides the conditions of B.
I mean If you maintain it at A level , then it will follow the rule of A instead of B
"if I define 0% Overdelivery in Services but checked "Unlimited" in Delivery tab " the system does not allow you overdelivery . But if you have any line in services where you do not set the overdelivery limit , then for that it will take unlimited overdelivery .
2) It may be because in the item level services you have checked unlimited ( by default it is unlimited) for all the services
3)
" have defined one field (Say service number) , mandatory at Object level " - so while creating that object you have to enter the field value .eg while creating PO , vendor is mandatory3
", Display at Document level " - while creating or changing the document it wil not allow it to chane the field value as it is at display level
"optional at Tocode level " - means while executing that Tcode that field is optional , eg in MMR gross weight of a material is optional . You may or may not enter the field value.
If it does not help please elaborate it .
"Will system show me as Display/mandatory or optional ?" -- I am not getting you exacty.
Hope it helps,
Regards,
Anupam

SLA for service request\service order without create a service contract

Hello Experts,
We are using CRM 7
Is there a possibility to determine SLA for service request\service order without create a service contract?
We have defined:
1. Trasaction Code: CRMD_SERV_SLA- Response Profile / Response Times
2. In Customizing we have defined our date profile with the relevant duration
3. In Customizing for transaction types we defined SLA Prof. Det. Proc= IT000001
4. we assign the Service Profile and Response Profile to BP (from "service levels" block) .
Everthing seems ok but the SLA time is not determined automatically.
Hope you can help me out.
Thanks,
Tal

Hi Tal Tal
Your steps are correct and i hope you did these too
a) In the SLA determination procedure ,you have defined the access sequence for service product item or org
b) If service product item ,take any service product for ex INVESTIGATION assign the two Service and response profile in the service tab
c) if org the above two profiles can be assigned to org attributes.
d) In my opinion the date profile you should have assigned it to item category as I think the SLA date calculation is done at the item level
e) You should assign the SLA det prof to the transaction type in the service process business category - customizing header.
f) when you create a transaction type sla dates will be determined as follows
    a) you have to enter service product entered in the item ,then dates will be visible,and also if your access sequence is based on service product,the respons profile and service profile will be determined.
    b) if you have given indicators as all these three "category,priority,codes' in your response profile, then you have to enter all three and then hit enter
   c) After hitting enter,the response profile determined above,will use the above 3 inputs of category,priority etc and determine the duration times ,which should be maintained in your date profile.hence the durations determined will be used in the dates calculation.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Service Procurement PO Issue in MM-SUS Scenario (SRM 7.0)

Hi Gurus,
We are facing issue while creating the service purchase order in MM-SUS scenario.
Creating the PO in ECC with Account Category "K" and Item Category "D". (PO should transfer through XML as in XI config v hv used proxies for both ECC & SRM,when creating PO xml not generated in SXI_MONITOR. what is the config required in ECC to generate the XML)
What is the Process of service entry sheet.
Regards
Satish

Note 868192 - Consulting solution: MM-SRV-SUS service procurement
A service entry in SUS is transferred to the R/3 system or ERP system using an IDoc after you submit the entry screen. Service entry sheets are created there and they are then available for release. You can perform the service entry in a number of ways:
Service entry of planned services: you can confirm planned services in the service entry in SUS. An overdelivery may occur if quantities are still open.
Service entry using time recording: planned services, for which a time recording is useful, can be split up. Time recording by the hour or by the day is possible.
Service entry for limits: You can use the free-text entry of new items and also the OCI-enabled catalogs to implement limits.
