Shipment Document, No Purchase Order & Service Entry Sheet generated

Hi Everyone
We have transportation & shipment module configured in our company.
We are running this process from the last 3 years without any problems whatsoever.
But suddenly from the past 1 month we are facing a very serious issue while saving shipment cost document, i.e *no purchase* *order and service entry sheet* is generated on saving the service entry sheet.
A purchase order and a service entry sheet is generated automatically whenever a shipment cost document is saved. All the congifurations & customisations are correctly done as per sap standards and no request have been moved to production which will disturb the above process.
I have scanned the almost all sdn.sap queries for solutions and have incorporated all the suggestions which will help to solve this issue.
But still the problem persists, i.e still no purchase order & service entry sheet is generated automatically after saving the shipment cost document.
All the settings mentioned below are checked thoroughly.
-- assign puachaging data
--maintain acc. assignment cat.
--automatic G/L acc. determination
--automatic determination of CO assignments
Check the following prerequisites for shipment cost processing has maintained or not
-Shipment must marked as relevant for shipment cost
-Shipment must have the required total status set in shipment cost type
-Shipment must have transportation status planned
-Shipment must have service agent
-Maintainiing and assign shipment pricing procedure to shipement cost
-Maintaining condition records,
Please suggest some solutions to the above issue.
Thanks & regards

Hi Sumit
Thanks for responding
In tcode t_56 generate PO is "C", I.e generate po for a validity of 1 month, the item category settings are the same since as before.
But for some reason the system is not generating any purchase order from the past month.
The error message is shown below.
No purchase order item was generated for shipment cost item 0000014950 000001
Message no. VY633
Diagnosis
You have marked the shipment cost item for transmission to the finanacial accounting department. For this transaction, you need an order item. The system has attempted to create an order item, but has not succeeded in doing so.
System Response
Transmission of data to financial accounting without a valid order item is not possible. For this reason, all items that you have marked for transmission are reset.
Procedure
The log displays further information as to why the system could not create an order, although all the settings in Customizing were configured. You can also create an order manually that corresonds to the shipment cost item and then transmit this again.
Thanks

How to find Goods Receipt Number particular to Service Entry Sheet Number.

Hi Experts,
In one of my reports i need to bring purchase order ,service entry sheet, goods receipt number .
In ekbe i am getting the purchase order and its service entry sheet while keeping BEWTP = 'D'.
so i am getting purchase orders and their service entry sheet numbers in belnr.
Now i want to get the corresponding goods receipt number .
But i am getting goods receipt number against the purchase order but not against service entry sheet , in same EKBE
while keeping BEWTP = 'E' movement type = '101'.
My doubt here is how to get the corresponding goods reciept number for a service entry sheet.
if i have three service entry sheet numbers for a purchse order i have three goods receipt numbers
but how to get the relation between them which GRN to which service entry sheet
. is there any table which stores the service entry and its grn.
If i am any thing functionally wrong which i wrote above please correct me and give ur inputs.
Thanks
vamsi

Hi Sarath,
If the Purchase order Item category is 'D' then it is a service order then it can have N service entry sheet numbers and once each service entry sheet is accepted it will be available for Goods reciept .. so that information will be avaiable..
U can obtain the GRN against the Service entry sheet in EKBE itself.
BELNR refers to GRN
LFBNR refers to Service entry sheet number.
And hence i am closing the thread.
Thanks

Shipment cost: number of items in service entry sheet

Dear Experts,
Is there a customizing setting that restricts the maximum allowed number of lines in service entry sheets?
Context:
Once I transfer shipment costs, several goods receipt sheets and service entry sheets are created.
I first thought that there was a one-on-one releationship between a shipment cost item and a service entry sheet. I.e. if there are e.g. 7 shipment cost items, than 7 service entry sheets are created.
The shipment cost distribution level is set on "delivery item": if for one shipment cost item, there are 250 delivery items, the cost is distributed all over these 250 delivery items. For each delivery item, a line is created in the service entry sheet. However, in my case 3 service entry sheets are created with on:
- 1st service entry sheet: 99 items
- 2nd service entry sheet: 99 items
- 3nd service entry sheet 52 items
Is there a way to avoid that several entry sheets are created for one . In my case that only 1 entry sheet with 250 items is created after transfer.
Thanks for the help!
Kind Regards
Thiago Santos

If you are not posting the delivery cost on the material value, then use A - Shipment costs item in the item category.
Delivery sub-item - A shipment cost sub-item will be created for every relevant delivery sub-item.
Shipment costs item - One shipment cost sub-item will be created.

Reverse service entry sheet

Hi,
We are involved in implementing Transportation module for an FMCG client, we were trying to show the reverse cycle to the client.
Service PO has been raised, GR done and service entry sheet generated and has been accepted. Now we want to reverse the whole cycle so we first tried to reverse the GR it gave an error "Transaction code MBST (=> use transaction ML81 / ML85) not defined" so we tried to cancel the service entry sheet first and then the GR.
I tried to cancel the service entry sheet thru ML81 it gave an error "Not possible to delete already accepted entry sheets" then we went to ML81N to revoke the acceptance but when we enter the purchase order and the service entry sheet number it goes into the display mode and the display- change button is greyed out, when we try to go into the set status all the buttons are greyed out.
we have all authorization for our ID.
Can any one of you give a clue.
Regards
Godwin

Hi All,
Thank you for the contribution, i have got the reply from SAP please read below
" hello,
a revoke of the service acceptance created by the shipment cost trans-
fer to FI/CO is not allowed. The only way to cancel this service entry
is cancelling the shipment cost transfer.
To cancel a shipment cost document (SCD) there a two ways:
(1) Start VI02, enter the SCD number and ENTER
(2) Select the transferred item, for which you want to cancel the
transfer
(3) Scoll to the end of data line in the overview screen
(4) Set the flag in column 'Cancel' and press ENTER
(5) Update the cancellation date, if the period (= transfer period) is
closed already
(6) Save the SCD
=> The Transfer of the SCD to FI/CO is canceled now
(1) Start VI02, enter the SCD number and ENTER
(2) Double click on the transferred item, you want to cancel
(3) Select tab strip 'Settlement'
(4) Set the flag in field 'Cancellation' and press ENTER
(5) Update the 'Date canc.', if the period (= transfer period) is
closed already
(6) Save the SCD
=> The Transfer of the SCD to FI/CO is canceled now
In both cases the used Service Entry Sheet (SES) will be deleted, but
the Service Purchase Order will remain, even if the PO was created
automatically by the settlement process of the SCD.
I hope my explanations help you to clarify this issue.
If so, would you be so kind and close/confirm this message? "

Godwin

Error while Accepting the posed Service Entry Sheet

Hi Guys!
I created a PO for Services(not service based IV, only GR based IV only checked) , entered SES & at the time of Accepting the SES showing error is Purchasing Document Ordered quantity exceeded by 1 Activity Unit (Message no. M7022), but actually not exceeded & what is the difference between service based IV & PO based IV ?

Hi,
In GR based IV, system allows to post invoice against material receipt against a PO. While for service based IV, system creates GR document based on accepted service entry sheet. Hence, for service PO, this tick (service based IV must be there).
You may delete the service entry sheet which you have created. The mark the tick at Service based IV & the again make service entry sheet. System should not give any error.

Service Entry Sheet creation!!!!

Hi all,
I am working on service procurement with ECS scenario.The Service Entry Sheet in the backend R/3 system is subject to release strategy(for a material group).
Whenever I create a Service Entry Sheet(SES) based on a EBP PO, then the SES is subjected to a release strategy.
Whenever I create a confirmation in the EBP system(which doesn't have a workflow for confirmation), the follow-on document i.e. Service Entry Sheet is getting created in the backend with absolutely no release strategy whatsoever.
Why is the SES getting created automatically,even though there is a release strategy attached to it at the backend?? This release strategy is functioning fine when I create a SES manually in the backend.
I found a thread { Service Entry sheet auto released when created through EBP } wherein someone had faced the same issue that I faced, but no one gave him a clear picture as well.
Help me!!
Regards
Hari

Hi,
This is standard SRM design.
The Service Entry Sheet created from SRM in ECC is directly released to create a material document (good receipt).
This is because, there is no release functionnality available from SRM.
Thus, if there were a release strategy, there is no way in standard to pilot it from SRM.
If you need a release straegy, you need to use the confirmation WF in SRM that will occur before the Service Entry sheet is created in ECC.
Kind regards,
Yann

How to update sales order number (KAUFN) characteristic in the profitability segment of the PA document created at the time of service entry sheet confirmation, as a result of shipment cost document

Hi,
We have a scenario wherein we create shipment cost documents against delivery. As a result of shipments fully transferred, a PO for freight vendor is automatically created and a service entry sheet confirmation happens. As a result of service entry sheet confirmation, we have Financial accounting, Controlling and profitability analysis documents created. We have a requirement wherein we need to have the characteristic “sales order number (KAUFN)” populated in the profitability analysis document created as a result of service entry sheet confirmation.
Could someone please advice how could this be attained in COPA. Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi Ajay,
Thank you for the quick update.
The document is updated to COPA through OKB9 settings. The profitability segment is updated with fields like customer, product, company code, plant, sales area data, profit center, etc; however the sales order number is missing.
Could you please elaborate further how could FI substitution be implemented to call for the FM COPA_PROFITABILITY_SEGMENT through user exit? Are you recommending the substitution through GGB1? What could be the possible validation to call for the user exit to be implemented?
Regards,
Sandeep Kulkarni

Purchase order history for service entry sheet

Hello All,
I created 3 service entry sheets for service P.O. however I saved it with out accepting them. Why the Purchase order history is not updated after the service entry sheets were saved?
When I created another service entry sheet for the same P.O. and accepted the service entry sheet and then saved it, the purchase order history was updated along with the posting of latest service entry sheet and previous three service entry sheets are also visible.
Why this is happening? Please help.
With regards.
Sanjay

Dear Prashant,
Thanks for the response.
1) Whenever a SES is saved (without acceptance) an entry gets updated in PO history with out posting document number.
2)Material doc. entry gets updated in P.O. history table when SES is accepted and saved.
Sl. no. 1 is not happening when I create SES for the first time. Once 2nd SES is made and accepted and saved. After that all entries including the first one is shown in P.O. history table.
Thanks and regards.

Service Entry sheet Creation for Shipment cost Document

Dear All,
While creating a shipment cost document .A service PO is getting generated in the back ground based on which a service entry sheet is created and LIV is made.But in the configuration we are mapping the Transportation planning point to Purchase organisation alone.
Can some one let me know whether the generation of PO in the back ground for a shipment cost document in the back ground is a standard SAP feature if so can you tell me the configuration steps.
Regards,
K.Vivek

Hi,
Creation of Service PO in shipment cost document is based on the following SPRO setting or T-code.
T code : T_56.
SPRO > LE > Transportation > shipment cost Document > Shipment cost types and item categoires.
Get into the details of item categoires, you can see the indicator Generate PO.
hope this helps.

Release Procedure for Service Entry Sheet Wr to the Purchasing document

Hi,
I have configured the Service entry sheet release procedure on the basis of Purchase order document type by creating Characteristic With table -field (CESSR - BSART) and also class is maintained where the defined characteristic has been assigned.Release group is assigned to the class and all necessary customizing activities carried over. I assigned release group n Strategy thru Cl20n and also checked in Cl30n for the document type where system is exactly proposing only one value for the document type. But when i create Service entry sheet thru ML81N after saving the document i checked for release strategy through Goto-> Service entry sheet -> Release Strategy which is grey mode.
I tried thru ML85 System says that no suitable purchasing document is available for release.
thank u

Purchase order and service entry sheet

Hi
Is there a way to prohibit modifications on the position of services purchase order when the service entry sheet and the invoice were already entered for that position?
Thanks in advance for your help
Tomas

hi, thanks for your help, but the problem that i have is when the service entry sheet and the invoice are allready entered, the user change the value of the position and the service tab, so the user can enter services for more amounts. So its produce difference on the purchase order history between the values of LERF (WE) and the value of the purchase position. For example
Service Purchase order for 100 dollars.
Tab service: 2 units for 50 dollars
The user enter one service entry sheet for 50 and the invoice for 50 (lerf and WE= 50)
Then the user change the position of the purchase order and increase the value to 100 and modifies the service tab to 1 services for 100.
Then he enter one service for 100 and the corresponding invoice..........so the result is the following:
Service purchase position: 100
LERF-WE: 150
so the purchase order history is inconsistence.
For that reason i whant to know is there is a wat to prohibit modifications on the position of purchase order
Thanks in advnace for your help

Frame work Purchase Order Plus Service entry sheet

Hello,
We are having the issue of defining this Purchase order process for Non receivable items i:e items which are non goods receipt like PO for services.When we create a PO with one line item and quantity of 5 and total value of PO is 500 .So after the first invoice the system is closing the PO .System is not looking at the quantity and just closing out the PO .So we have to design a process in which we need to create multiple invoice for a Po(Non GR) also we need to set the tolerence limit for the PO which i thing will be set in OMR6 (PP) and also regardless on quantity the system can create multiple invoices .So what is a good process to drive this.Either Frame work PO or service entry sheet??
Also is there a way in config we can set tolerence limit for the whole amount of PO .Like in OMR6 we define the upper and lower limit of PO .So if the total value of PO is 1000 ,while creating the invoice it vont allow us to create invoices for more than 1050 .can we set the tolerence for the whole amount of PO ?? Regardless of how many invoices we create.

Thanks Andra,
The problem is the multiple invoices is for non goods receipt item so there will be no delivery.At the time of creating a PO the GR is not checked so there will be no delivery .
Also this setting is for invoices which are comming from Vendors.But if we are genrating the invoices manually it is not blocking those invoices.Also i there is nowhere mentioned in Incomming invoice to set tolerence for incomming invoice.Are you talking about Vendor tolerences?
Thanks in advance

Set the Release Indicator for Purchase Order Release Strategy such that it will not allow to change once Released.
Else Configure Version Management for Purchase Order.
