Service purchasing process in Standalone Scenario.

We used SRM7.0 in Standalone Scenario, now we need use Service procurement .
Question and Description:
   first, I create SC . click 'Add item' -> 'Internal Goods /Service' , I input a existed Local Service master, and we can see, the Product category is 'service category'.
2ed, when i carry out sourcing, i want ot create RFx reference this 'service' SC, i get an error.' Item type 'Service' not allowed for this Item '.
   i want to know , the error arise becuase of some error or missing in customizing , or SRM not support SC service item to sourcing?

try with both bid and bidx document type. One of the document types should work for you.
thanks

Hi SAP Guy,
Following steps are must for Local number range
1) Create number range for local PO
2) Maintain your logical system in 'Define number range per backend system for follow on document'
3) Define Transaction Type for BUS2201, define document type (e.g. EC1)
4) Assign Document type (EC1) in Org attribute BSA.
Hope this helps.

Scenario on Purchasing Process - Freight Charges to Different Vendor

Hi Experts,
We have a business scenario here that we want to implement on the MM - Purchasing Process.
My Client's industry is on Selling Mixed Concrete. Every time they make Contract with Scheduling Agreements, for Raw Materials like Cement 20MM or DUST, on each available Plant from a partner company on a different location. Some of the Location are not inside the country as well.
When we do Scheduling Agreement, we do a blank quantity for example, 30,000 for 20MM on Plant A and 10,000 for 20MM on Plant B. During the creation of Schedule Lines, we key in differect schedules of delivery (incl PGR). Then by the end of the Period, we create a Vendor Invoice.
However on some delivery item, we have a scenario where from a specific Vendor A, we have a Vendor B that delivers our Materials to our Plant (Transporter Vendor). So we have to create another Invoice for them. We have to have 1 Invoice for the Supplier and 1 Invoice for the Transporter Vendor.
I understand that SAP can do 2 Vendor assignment on PO, 1 for Material Goods and 1 for Freight Charge. The Amount will sum up per Ordered Item and during PGI, the Material Cost will be based on this amount. I'm okay with the first statement but the summed amount is not okay with some scenarios.
The problem with some scenarios is that we should not base the Freight Charge on the schedule quantity. We agreed that the Quantity to be considered for Freight Charge is based on their Shipment Tonnage Agreement (which is weighed on the Vendor 2's side). Then for the Schedule Line Qty, we have to take the Average Weight from our side and from their side, and that should be the Schedule Line Qty. The Amount to be posted in PGR line item should be the amount from the Schedule Line Qty and the Freight Charge based on the Shipment Tonnage Agreement and the Material Cost will be valuated with the sum of these values. At the end of the Month, we create an Invoice for the 2 Vendors at the same time: one with Freight Charge the other on is the Stock Amount.
So for this requirement, is there a way we can add another Quantity, based on the Shipment Tonnage Agreement to calculate the Freight Charge inside, And the Transporter Vendor, in the Schedule Line Conditions to be included in the PGR?
Please suggest me configurations to do this also.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

Hi Cruz,
If your requirement is to bill on the monthly average basis for the freight vendor, you can create new condition type for freight based on quantity. Use the calculation type 'M' - Quantity monthly price, in conjunction with the scales and use the scale basis 'C' if the freight cost is fixed based on your shipment agreement.
If your agreement is based on no.of shipments use the scale basis 'S' - no. of shipping units.
Even if these two are not suiting use the scal basis 'G' - formula and define the calculation based on your requirement.
Once this is configured for the condition type. Then maintain the conditiona values accordingly.
Hope this is helpful.

Standalone scenario of self-service procurement

Hi all,
I'm testing SRM5.0 right now. I'm new about SRM.
In the standalone scenario of the self-service procuremnt, only accounting data goes to R/3. Does anyone know how to verify the accounting data on R/3 through EBP? In other words, which tracsaction code of R/3 can I see the accounting data transferred automatically after I created the invoice on EBP?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Yuko

Hello Yuko,
invoices are sent to R/3 via IDOC BBPIV (transfers invoicing information to the back end in FI).
Checklist:
- check LS and backend definition
- check distribution model in SRM
- check distribution model in R/3 (created manually or distributed)
- check generated partner profiles in SRM
- check generated partner profiles in R/3
- check outbound IDOCs in SRM
- check inbound IDOCs in R/3
With transaction BD87, you can reprocess erroneous IDOCs, if for example the posting period is not opend in FI.

Standalone Scenario - Creation of Purchase Order

Hi,
When i create a shopping basket in the standalone scenario, this is not converted automatically in PO.
What can i check?
If i try to create a PO from the worklist of sourcing i obtain an error on number ranges.
Can somebody help me?
Regards.
Gianfranco

Hi Gianfranco,
Sorry for my delay.
Check if in SPRO -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Number Ranges -> Define Number rang. for Schopping Carts and Follow-on Doc.
if you have number ranges for PO follow-on doc. i.e.
inrerval No = PO
from number = 0004000000
to number = 0004999999
ext. = unchecked
in SPRO -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Number Ranges -> Define Ranges per backend system for follow-on documents
Logsystem = SRMCLNT200 (your srm logical system name)
Number ranges for PO = PO (this is interval created in 'def. no. rang. for SC and follow-on'
Number ranges for Preqs = RQ
Number ranges for Reservations = RE
About sourcing (SPRO -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Sourcing -> Define Interactive Sourcing for product categories)
In column Sourcing You may choose following options:
1 - Sourcing is never carried out = system don't check if SC have source of supply or proper price
2 - Sourcing is always carried out = system forward SC to sourcing cockpit even vendor and price is specify (forwards all)
3 - Sourcing is carried out for items in SC w/o source of supply - if Your item don't have source of supply, then is carried to sourcing
4 - Automatic creation Bid Invitation for items w/o source of supply
If You want to automatic chanve SC to PO, choose value 2 (sourcing is never carried out) for your logical system name (SRM) and for proper CategoryID (You may enter wildcard '*').

Hello,
Standalone scenario: As the name suggests, All the procurement functions are done in SRM & financials are handled by backend system.
The customer does not have a productive Materials Management system and wants to handle the
entire process locally within the Enterprise Buyer, integrating only to an accounting system.
- Accounting processes (including FI, CO, and AM) must still be handled by a back end system. All
validations and approvals are handled directly within Enterprise Buyer rather than in a back end
system.
- A shopping cart is created locally and will be further processed locally to create a purchase order.
Self service procurement Yes, PDP- No
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Subcon service Purchase order

Hi,
In my scenario I am sending material i.e Shirts ( item) for ironing process to the vendor as subcontracting ironing service through order. I would like to get back the material from vendor w.r.t PO order and payment to made to service performed throgh invoice verification w.r.t service entry sheet.
My thought up on the process to create subcontracting PO on subcontracting vendor along with articles. Article will be received to vendor as subcon article w.r. t subcon PO. After completion of service it will be return to our end w.r. t PO. GRN will be performed. Since it is regular practice, I would like to create service master for repective services and will be treated /incorporated in PO similar to service purchase order. Based on this purchase order SES will be created and payment of service will be settled through invoice verification w.r.t service entry sheet.
Please let me know whether my thinking are in line or not. if not please suggest the alternative.you can reach through phone also.
Thanks & regards,

Standalone Scenario (need info about Plants)

Hi,
i am working now with SRM standalone scenario. It means that now i don't have any back-end systems. All that i need is to maintain all necessary business-process localy in EBP.
i have such questions:
1.if i have no back-end system, how should i maintain local plants and business partners?
2.while creating shopping cart, the user EMPLOYEE with role BBP_STALL_EMPLOYEE log-on, go to Shop -> Internal Goods/Services, there he choose the item he need's and after it a message "Error in system;shopping cart cannot be processed further".
for solving this problem i went to ppoma_bbp, opened EMPLOYEE's check and found out that "Application "Shopping Cart": Define the attribute WRK". I looked for such a problem in sap notes and, due to them, went to the
EMPLOYEE's extended attributes, choose LOCATIONS, and while trying to take something from F4 in Partner ID or Plnt i got only message "no values found" and no variants.
What is the problem?
3. i created my org. structure , then i changed in ppoma_bbp the name of my root org. unit. and now on the org. tree-screen my root doesn't have name and code.
help me please, thx!

Muthu,
thank you for your reply!
could you kindly tell me the difference between two operations:
i followed your advice "ADMINistrator ->Manage Business partner ->
select LOCATION" and created a BusinessPartner as a Location. Now in ppoma_bbp in the bookmark "Extended attributes" i can see in "Locations" newly created partner.
but if we speak about my org. structure, why didn't my root organization display in the bookmark "locations" of ppoma_bbp?
if i go to tranzaction bp, i can see BP that was created via WEB, and also my root org. unit.
also, in the bp if i try to change a bpartner, in the "Change in BP role" field there is a role "Plant", not "Location", why?
we be VERY greatful for links, notes and your experience help!

How does the purchase process of SAP C4C work?

Hello,
we need some information about the purchase process of the SAP C4C System.
Now we have access to our own C4C System and we are trying to configure it. But what are the next steps? How do we get the productive system? How does SAP transfer the test data to the productive system? where do we get our development system? ....
Does anybody have any experience with the first C4C implementation?
The information we get from SAP confused even more than helped.
Thanks and regards
Suita

HI Suita
If you are still looking for help, we specialise in Cloud for Customer implementations and have been through this process. You can contact me at [email protected]
There are a number of assets available on the service marketplace. While you may need advice, I do not believe that consulting services are a mandatory part of the C4C setup, having said that SAP ideally will have discussed some options during the software selection process.
Are you implementing SAP C4C standalone or with integration to any other system?

James.

Service Purchase Order

Hi MM Gurus,
Scenario is
Service Purchase Order for Travelling Charges ,
Service maintained at service tab is travelling charges 12 nos for 38000/- each
item cat D .
In main text of PO item qty appears is 1 nos and amount is 456000/- ok.
Service tax ia applicable on it is 12.36% ok
But base amount for this is 40% of 38000/- that means service tax is applicable on 40% of gross amount.
I am using manual condition Zser that is base service amount.
Up to this it is working fine.
Service Entry sheet filled, accepted and saved .ok
there are two service sheets 10000283 and 100000284 for example
During MIRO if i took the ref of service entry sheet and try to post the purchase order the tax amount system calculates is based on total amount that is 4560000/- and not on 38000/-, due to this i am facing problems in invoice verification.
Pls suggest
With regards
Nagarjuna Reddy

Dear Prashant,
No I have checked once again, Tax value is not getting divided as per individual service entry.
means that for total 10 service sheets are there and during miro is entered with referce of service entrysheet, tax value is showing means for each entry sheet total tax of 10 entry sheet of 40% amount is shown
Pls suggest

Condition type for deduction in service purchase order

Hi All,
Our client has scenario where in transport service Purchase order, client wants to deduct some part of amount as a security fund.
E.g client takes transport service from vendor amounting Rs. 1000 and client deducts Rs. 10 as a security fund so payment to vendor is Rs. 990. This deduction amount should go to separate GL.
Kindly let me know how can we map this scenario? I guess we can do this with the help of condition type but dont know from where to start and what will be the nature of condition type.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nisha.

Hi
What client is going to do with security deposit? Do they settle over a period of time?
Based on that you can do the config setting.
Case 1) Retaining of security deposit.
If client is not paying back and wants to keep the security deposit. They Wants to have track record of the same. Then you can use Z condition type by copying R002 discount using M/06 and assign GL in OBYC for that condition type.
Case 2) paying back security:
Create Z condition type by copying any freight condition and assign GL in OBYC
While creating PO use condition type.
While repayment of security deposit FI will use same GL as Db and vendor account as Cr using F-44.

I want to create a new service purchase order with items category D. However when I give ref. of some another purchase order the vendor and org. data fields become grey. How do I change these fields in new purchase order which I want to create? In case of material P.O. these fields are editable.
Pl. help.

Dear,
Please check at the time of Service order creation the document type of purchase order is for services. If no please first change document type in ME21N select document type for service po then enter reference of document number in field of purchase order and it's line item at item detail level.
So please compare your process of purchase order creation with below detail.
Enter ME21N -Select document type for po.
Then enter purchase order number in field of reference purchase order field. then check your data.

Cannot Delete / Cancel / Reverse Service Purchase Order. Please Help....

If you create a service entry sheet, process the service entry
approval,post an invoice for an amount greater than the Service entry
then, cancel
the entry sheet and add a new service specification (i.e. same entry
sheet), the following problem occur:
1. You can no longer cancel the invoice if the services of the entry
sheet are deleted.
2. After changing the entry sheet and renewed acceptance of services
performed, a posting takes place where the value differs from the
value of the entry sheet.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a Service Purchase Order of $2,675.00
2. Create a Service Entry against the Purchase Order for $2,675.00
3. Approve Service Entry against the Purchase Order for $2,675.00
a/c postings Dr Expense $2,675.00
Cr GR/IR $2,675.00
4. Create an Invoice against the Service Purchase Order for $6,452.50
a/c postings Dr Expense $3,777.50
Dr GR/IR $2,675.00
Cr Vendor $6,452.50
5. Create Credit Memo $1,537.00
6. Revoke the Service Entry against the Purchase Order for $2,675.00
I am expecting the Reversal of the Service Entry figure is $2,675.00, but instead, the Reversal of the Service Entry figure is $1,537.00. Why is that so? I need to be able to Reverse/Delete the PO. Please help...
Thank you.
