Significance of Quotation Deadline

Can anybody tell me the Significance of Quotation Dead line in RFQ??
As per SAP Help
    Date by which the vendor is to submit the quotation.
If the Vendor Submitted late then where to maintain it??
How the System will restrict late submmission ??

Hi Rahul
From the Control point of view, there is no significance of this date.
In R/3, it is only for information purpose. Also, when you print RFQ and send it to your vendors, you can print this also to inform the last date of submission.
Actual submission date control need to be done manually i.e. if a vendor submits after submission deadline, buyer should not take it. Normally, tender boxes will be kept in the office so that vendors can drop their sealed tenders in the box. The boxes will be removed after the submission date and vendor will not be able to submit anymore.

  • Need to Block ME47 After the Quotation Deadline Corssed

    Hi,
    I have a user requirement to block the user for maintaining quotation after the deadline is crossed.
    currently everyone can able to edit the quotation evenif deadline is crossed.
    Say :  30/09/2011 is the quotation deadline,now on that day user will able to maintain the Quotation received from
               all the vendors, say user forgot to maintain the vendor quote on that day 30/09/2011 then after that this user
               will not be authorized to maintain thin in ME47..instead anyupper level  user will have only authority to  
               maintain this quote after deadline..
    Is this possible in standard setting or I need to go for development for the same,
    if yes then any user Exit for this development will be helpfull.
    Please share your views ..
    Thank you

    Hi,
    This can be acheived by giving authorizations to ME47. G  o to SE80 and find authorization object for quotation and in PFCG transaction create a role by giving this authorization  object. Assign this role containing authorization object to the respective user in SU01. Hence the respective person only can do changes. Hope it works. Thanking you.

  • Error in ME9A print after changing quotation deadline date.

    Dear Experts,
    When we change the quotation deadline date in a RFQ and save it, we are not able to generate output in ME9A. The error is :No print-relevant changes to document XXXXXXXXXX exist. I have checked the config and Print relevant Purchasing Document Change is checked for the field EKKO-ANGDT (quotation deadline date). I went through the other threads but was not able to understand as to why this error is occurring. Please suggest.

    Hi,
       Ensure that the condition records are maintained correctly and the output is triggered automatically while creating RFQ. If its triggered, then proceed with the below config:
       Go to the path: OLME - Messages - Output Control - Message Types - Define Message Types for Request for Quotation - Fine-Tuned Control: Request for Quotation. Here, maintain the operation 2 along with your output type as shown below.
        Test the scenario again with a new RFQ. Check whether the output type is triggered once you change the RFQ. Test the scenario and revert back.

  • Using ME57 to create an RFQ from multiple lines on multiple PRs

    When using ME57 to create RFQs how can I select multiple line items from multiple purchase requisitions to turn into a single RFQ. If I select multiple lines and then use 'RFQ with Vendor', it only selects one line item.  After further research it appears that you can only create only line at a time (very time consuming). 
    If you use ME41 and create with reference to PR then you can not sort or filter columns to allow for easy consolidation.
    Another forum recommended the following when using ME57 which works but it again adds extra steps to the process.
         The whole process is as follows -
         1) When you are in the 'Assign and Process Purchase Requisition' screen, select related PR and then click on 'Without Vendor' icon to flag all PRs for RFQ processing.
         2) Select these PRs again and click further on 'Assignment Overview' icon (Shift and F5). The next screen will appear - Assign and Process requisitions - Overview of Assignments screen.
         3) Select the 'PReq' column and then click further on 'Process Assignment' icon (F2). The next screen will appear where you have to maintain the 'quotation deadline' information.
         4) Then click on 'Continue' icon (enter).
    [http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=198768]
    So is there any way to either 1) enable sorting of data in ME41 or 2) use ME57 to create one RFQ from multiple line items of multiple purchase requisitions when selecting 'RFQ with Vendor'.

    What is the JPEG specs? What are the specs of the project you're working in?

  • Set deletion indicator on unsuccessful RFQs

    Dear Everyone,
    Essentially, the criteria for marking the deletion indicator in unsuccessful RFQs are:
    1/ quotations are not maintained for these RFQs; net price is zero.
    2/ deadline for the submission of the quotation had expired. The fields EKPO-MAHN1, EKPO-MAHN2 & EKPO-MAHN3 are also verified to see if reminders are required to be sent after the quotation deadline. If required, then the RFQs are not appropriate candidates for now.
    3/ if the above criteria is met, a further verification check is made amongst the RFQs with the same collective number to see if any of the RFQs are having quotations maintained, that is, the net price is not zero. One of the quotations (having the same collective number and accepted by the business) will have a quotation comment of “AB1’ or ‘AB2’ and this will be used as a basis for rejecting (updating the rejection indicator) the rest.
    4/ a report program is preferred. It should have key selection criteria like Quotation deadline [select-options], RFQ # [selection-options], quotation deadline [parameter], collective number [parameter – * wildcard acceptable],
    Could anybody please provide solution for this will be appreciated?
    Thanks in advance

    Dear,
    The system sets this status when you release the order, provided that the Order record required indicator is set in the order type-dependent parameters (see Customizing for Process Order)....
    This setting is there in SPRO....
    Production Planning for Process Industries - Process Order-Master Data-Order-Define Order type Dependent parameters...
    In this you set the option Order record Required....
    Requirements are that the process orders are settled, associated PI sheets, inspection lots and any linked purchase orders are complete.
    Following are prerequisites for closing a process order
    1 The order must have the status Released (REL) or Technically completed (TECO)
    2 The order balance must be 0
    3 There can be no open purchase requisitions, purchase orders.
    4 There can be no future change records from confirmation processes.

  • Deadline Branche in Correlation Process - Best Practice

    Hello,
    I have an integration process with a correlation - there is a asynchronous send step which activates a correlation and afterwards an asynchronous receive step that uses that correlation.
    Furthermore I have a deadline branch to cancel the process after 24 hours.
    My question now is:
    There could be (rare) cases where a message arrives later than 24 hours, so according to my understanding the received message will block the inbound queue as no active correlation can be found anymore. Is this correct? How can I avoid this situation, I guess a blocked queue would also block other messages that are sent to the integration process?
    What would be best practice to handle such a scenario? I could leave the process intance open for 1 month, however this might have a significant impact on system performance.....
    Thank you for your advice.

    There could be (rare) cases where a message arrives later than 24 hours, so according to my understanding the received
    essage will block the inbound queue as no active correlation can be found anymore
    No correlation found error will occur only when the BPM instance is running and the message tries to enter into the relevant receive step (not the first one)
    However when you say the process is cancelled you need not worry about the message going into the queue and blocking the BPM queue.

    Abhishek.

  • What's the significance of the letter -p in the JRE installables

    Hi,
    Can anybody please let me know what is the significance of the letter "-p" in the JRE installables as i could see that till JRE 1.6.0_13 the name for the Window offline installable has -p {for eg: jre-6u12-windows-i586-p.exe} where as for the higher version i.e 1.6.0_14 onwards there is no letter "-p" {for eg: jre-6u14-windows-i586.exe} .
    Appreciate your quick response in this regards.

    qm control is only useful for procured materials
    it
    Manage quality-related information for materials, vendors, and manufacturers in quality info records
    Monitor the QM systems of vendors and manufacturers
    Supply quality documents with requests for quotations and purchase orders
    Certify vendors or manufacturers that have QM systems implemented, to reduce the inspection requirement
    Request that quality certificates be submitted with the delivered goods and monitor the receipt of these certificates
    Inspect vendor goods at vendor sites (source inspections)
    Block the payment of invoices until the goods have been inspected and accepted
    U can use qm control key depending upon ur requirement

  • Deadline loop not completed

    Hi,
          I've created a deadline work item for latest start.
    In the deadline branch, I created a loop for sending mails at a specified intervals. and I created a wait step before each loop pass and when the condition reached, the loop will go for next iteration or it should end.
    When the actual work item is completed this deadline branch is ending with error saying that
    FINALIZE : Error at an end of UNTIL Loop.
    FIND_NEXT_NODES_IF : Error when defining successor for node <Node number of the until loop>
    which I guess it's trying to find the next loop pass but at that time the actual work item is finished so it's ending with error.
    my question is why this wait step is not logically deleted when the work item is completed ?
    any idea ?
    Thanks & regards,
    Sudhahar R.

    Thanks Arghadip,
    And for your information,
    This is what I've done.
    I copied the RFQ Release Workflow WS20000080.
    I want to add a dead line monitoring so that if the approver is not released the RFQ for say 5 days, the system should send a mail to his supervisor. this has to be repeated until the approver releases the RFQ.
    so I added a deadline step and modeled with a loop so that it'll send mail for each iteration( with a wait step inside with condition.).
    once the approver (1)releases/(2)rejects/(3)changed significantly, the work item is completed, and it has to take any one of the 3 branches for further processing.
    So As per your suggestion, I have to trigger three events for each branch. but the STEP TS20000175( Approve RFQ ) itself is triggering 3 events(1 for each branch). so that I can catch those events to stop my deadline loop.
    This is where I end up with 4 wait steps.
    I think now you are somewhat clear.
    Arghadip One more thing !
    Please note that some people like me have tried all possible  ways before posting into this forum.
    May be I didn't give enough information in my previous posts by focusing only on the problem or thinking that there are genious like you can answer me with that info
    Now I think I've given most of the details.
    let me see whether I'm geting answers.
    but Nobody answered my basic, fundamental, logical question. after the work item is completed how come the deadline branch is running ?
    or is there any config in the workflow to enable/disable it.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sudhahar R.

  • Block changes at ME42 (quotation) if purchase ordem already exists

    Hi !
    Is standard way to avoid changes at purchase quotation if this quotation is in one purchase order?
    Thanks.
    Mauricio.

    hi,
    The collective number is used to track and compare all the RFQ's, so that we can choose the best out of all...so it is compulsory to enter it...
    You will only accept the best vendor out of all after the deadline date, you'll accept the best by putting rejection button ticked in all others which are not selected....so tht this vendor will automatically will be flowing into PO for your req...
    This approval is done from the quotation itself...
    You can see the total value, qty and all the parameters as per your req. in it only....
    You can check at both the points, this will be as per your decision....but as the PO is first external doc..so need to put stress on it..
    Hope it helps..

  • Approaching deadline for submission - OpenSPARC contest

    Hello All,
    Just wanted to highlight that deadline for OpenSPARC contest (http://www.opensparc.net/community-innovation-awards-contest-rules.html) is fast approaching. Submissions must be turned in by June 30th to be eligible.
    I have seen many interesting questions on this forum which leads me to believe that many of you are pursuing interesting lab and research work around OpenSPARC. This contest can give your work (and you, of course) a lot of visibility and a chance to win some serious money. For the students out there, this can be a significant resume booster. So do participate in the contest and turn in your work.
    If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask in this forum.
    Thanks.

    You can create the form in Acrobat or Designer as you probably know. Designer comes as a part of Acrobat. I tend to Acrobat for forms myself. As for a submission, the data should be fine since it can be imported to the form for print out. That makes it only an extra step of opening the form and importing. With the deadline, I hope the email submission works. It is a bit of a risk, but has been less of a problem with newer systems and such. In Acrobat, the submit button is created with the button tool and on the forms menu select add/edit field. Select the button you want (or add one) and go to the actions tab. Select submit a form under actions and enter the submit information. For a 1-time small use form, then you can use the submit full PDF and simply activate the PDF for Reader rights. For larger applications, the activation may be an issue under the license. The advantage of the activation here is that those folks who fill it out will be able to keep a copy, not just print it.
    Hope those reminders help. Just got AA9 and that is the first time I have looked at the forms there. A bit different than AA8 and earlier! Bill

  • Quotation not submitted, but documents submitted in cfolder

    Hi All,
    We have a senario, in which the purchaser creates a Bid Invitation, uploading documents to the cfolders.
    The Bidder ( say A ) also uploads the document, by creating his private area but fails to submit the Bid as the Bid Submission deadline is in the past.
    When the Purchaser process the Bid Invitation, he does not recieve any quotation from bidder A, but in the cfolder purchaser is able to see a private area of  Bidder A with his technical documents uploaded.
    Kindly suggest if there is any solution for this issue.....
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi ,
    when the deadline was in past , the system desn't allow to create quotation .
    So i assume , when u created the quotation , the deadline was not reached, and may be u saved the quotation  and later on tried to submit the same? and by that time , the time had elapsed.
    In this case you cant control it , because the private area is created the moment the quotation is created. And when the collaboration is accessed via bid invitation , the entire structure is visible for the purchaser.
    once can only try or train to avoid the scenario.
    Some technical approach may be :
    1) SRM 6.0 -> delete the area if the deadline is in past , use FM CFX_API_AREA_DELETE and pass the area guid
    2) SRM 5.0 ->DOC CHECK BADI , use same FM to delete the private area if the deadline is in past.
    regards

  • Quotation maintained time and date

    Hai Experts,
                   I need to get RFQs which get maintained quotations, there may be quotations which are maintained after RFQ deadline, how can we know when quotation has been maintained for the last time, in EKPO we have field AEDAT, but this value is getting changed even we change anything in the RFQ. Is it right field to know quotation maintained date, is there any field to know quotation maintained time.
    Can we find these two fields in header level tables.
            Thank you
             Regards
