Source determination during RFQ

Dear friends,
We used to maintain source of vendors for the list if service activities.
We have errection and commisssioning services,for which some of the activities are there.
For all errection and commisssioning services,we have got 20 vendors are there.
Every time we need to send the quotations for all the 20 vendors for floating the enquiry for errection and commisssioning services.
Can we maintain the source liast for these 20 vendors for errection and commisssioning services main activity and while doing RFQ(ME41),How to send to all those vendors automatically .
In ME41 How to link to all these vendors.
Please suggest.
IF standard is not there how to make a logic for the above scenario,
Regards,
Canand

Hi cananda,
I think its possible, try in this way... maintaine source list of that material with all 20 vendors. Maintaine inforecord with all vendors. Now create a PR of that material by assigning the source of supply. Save the PR and go to RFQ to create with reference to PR.
I hope it will solve your problem.
If it works, award me pls.
Thanks
Vineet

Source determination not happening during PR creation from Planned order

Hi Experts
We have set up source determination and we have created a sourcelist of material and a vendor is fixed, there is a inforecord alos maintined,
I am trying to convert a planned order from MD04 to a purchase requisition, the source is not being assigned for the PR, I am alos getting an information saying that 'the material is defined for inhouse production'
secondly if I click the 'Assign Source of Supply', then I am getting an error 'not possible to assign a source of supply'.
The material is a finished material 'FERT' with procurement key 'X' so in MRP an planned order gets generated for converting a PR or a production order.
Note - I was doing this effectively in a differnt client without any proble. I am unable to find what I am missing, please sugest.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions, The issue is resolved by testing with a new material with tproper master data. Basically the problem occured when some user created additional inforecord for the same P,Org hence there was no automatic source detemination happening.

a second info record may explain that AUTOMATIC source determination ddid not work but it does not explain the error messagees you described earlier.

Source determination,Quota Arrangement Process

Hi,
Plz tell me how to maintain Source determination,Quota Arrangement.step by step

Dear,
QUOTA ARRANGEMENTS
If a quota arrangement exists for a material, it has the highest priority during source determination. Like source list, the quota arrangement facilitates the administration of sources of supply at plant level.
If you procure a material from different suppliers, you can assign a quota to each individual supplier. A quota arrangement applies to a certain period and specifies how the receipts should be distributed among each source of supply.
If a quota arrangement exists, this does not mean that the quantity of a single manually created purchase requisition is automatically apportioned among different sources. In such case, the entire quantity of the requisition is assigned to one source u2013 the source that is next in line receive the relevant order.
Before you can maintain a quota arrangement item with the procurement type external procurement, a source of supply (info record and / or outline agreement) must exists.
Create quota arrangement:
LOGISTICS u2013MATERIAL MANAGEMENT u2013 PURCHASING u2013 MASTER DATA u2013 QUOTA ARRANGEMNET u2013 MAINTAIN.
Specify number ranges for quota arrangement:
SAP IMG u2013 MATERIAL MANAGEMENT u2013 PURCHASING u2013 QUOTA ARRANGEMENT u2013 DEFINE NUMBER RANGES.
You must specify the business application for which quotation arrangement will be used, for example: in material planning or in purchase requisitions. You make this specification in QUOTA ARRANGEMENT USAGE filed, which is to be found in the plant-specific purchasing/materials planning data of the material master record.
Set quota arrangement usage indicator:
SAP IMG u2013 MATERIALS MANAGEMENT u2013 PURCHASING u2013 QUOTA ARRANGEMENT u2013 DEFINE QUOTA ARRANGEMENT USAGE.
System assign quota rating to each source by calculation as u2013 Quota rating = (quota allocated quantity + quota base quantity / quota).
ADDITIONAL ASPECTS OF SUPPLY SOURCE DETERMINATION
Quota arrangements also can be source of supply.
Quota arrangements for material requirements arising over a certain period divided up among different sources on basis of quota. Quota arrangements determine which source of supply is automatically assigned to a purchase requisition.
SOURCE DETERMINATION
The purpose of the source determination process is to automatically assign a source of supply to a purchase requisition, if source determination indicator set in the requisition header, the system searches for possible sources of supply for all the items of the requisition. Quota arrangements also can be source of supply.
In source list specify a preferred source as fixed for a certain period, the system suggest just only this source, even if other potential sources exists.
Quota arrangements for material requirements arising over a certain period divided up among different sources on basis of quota. Quota arrangements determine which source of supply is automatically assigned to a purchase requisition.
Source list record consists of the following:
1.Validity period u2013 Period of validity
2.Key source data u2013 Number of vendor and responsible purchasing organization or number and item of outline agreement.
3.Fixed source u2013 Within a validity period not more than one source should be flagged as fixed.
4.Procurement plant u2013 if the materials can be procured from a plant or another point within your firm, enter the plant number in PPl field and leave the field for the vendor number empty.
5.Blocked source u2013 To block a source. If you set Blocked indicator and enter only one validity period, the material is excluded from external procurement; that is, it cannot be ordered during this period.
6.Material requirements planning - You use MRP indicator to determine whether an automatic source determination process is carried out during the requirements planning run. The appropriate source is then automatically assigned to a purchase requisition, or scheduling agreement delivery schedule lines can be generated directly via planning run.
If an attempt is made to order a material subject to a source list requirement from a source that is not included in the source list, the standard system issues an error message with the text: Source not included in list despite source list requirement. You can change this to warning message.
If source list requirement defined for a plant, all materials in the plant level must be maintained with source list before procurement.
Analyze source list:
LOGISTICS u2013 MATERIAL MANAGEMNET u2013 PURCHASING u2013 MASTER DATA u2013 SOURCE LIST u2013 FOLLOW ON FUNCTIONS u2013 ANALYSE.
Define source list requirement at plant level:
SAP IMG u2013 MM u2013 PURCHSING u2013 SOURCE LIST u2013 DEFINE SOURCE LIST AT PLANT LEVEL.
Source lists can be created:
-Manually.
-Create from within an outline agreement u2013 on outline agreement overview screen, select an item for which you wish to enter source list record and choose ITEM u2013 MAINTAIN SOURCE LIST.
-Creation from with an info record u2013 you can enter vendor in the source list when creating or changing a purchasing info record. Choose EXTRAS u2013 SOURCE LIST. If the info record valid for entire purchase organization, you can create the source list for all plants of the organization in question. Choose the plant via GOTO u2013 PLANT.
-Automatic u2013 can generate by system automatically.
Create source list manually:
LOGISTICS u2013 MATERIAL MANAGEMENT u2013 PURCHASING u2013 MASTER DATA u2013 SOURCE LIST u2013 MAINTAIN/DISPLAY.
Generate source list automatically:
LOGISTICS u2013 MATERIAL MANAGEMENT u2013 PURCHASING u2013 MASTER DATA u2013 SOURCE LIST u2013 FOLOW ON FUNCTIONS u2013 GENERATE.

Source Determination for contracts via ME25

Hi All,
We are using ME25 to create PO's. During source determination, a
contract that is valid on the delivery date but not on the current date
is not suggested as a possible source of supply though it has been
maintained in the source list.
We know that this is programmed this way.Check is always carried on the
basis of current date. Though the delivery date falls within the
contract validity date, the system does not suggest the contract as a
source since the validity of that contract has not yet started or it is
not matching with the current date.
But we want the system to suggest the contracts as a source of supply,
though the validity of the contract has not yet started. we want the
system to suggest the contracts which are not valid on current date(but
valid on a particular delivery date) also.
SAP notes 44368 and 427864 suggest that this can be achieved.The note
427864 also tells that "selection with a date other than the current
date could lead to problems (for example in case of MRP runs).With the
corrections of Note 44368 you can solve the problem".
It also says as below:
"The attached correction instruction solves the problem described in
this note. However, these corrections might lead to other problems.
Therefore these corrections are not implemented in the standard system."
It says it might lead to other problems also. But it didn't mention the
exact problems.It would be great if you can list out the MRP run and
other problems and suggest us.
We want this functionality. One more note 116464 is also related to
this. Suggest us which are the notes to be applied. We are currently
using SAP 4.7 Version.
Thanks in advance.
Warm regards,
Shankar Goud.

Hi,
I am not sure that there will be any problems by changing this if you do it the way that the note indicates. I would suggest that SAP are quite right to effectively say "We have designed our system to use the current date, if you want to use anything else then you MAY have problems" (because effectively this is what they are saying).
It is a heavily integrated system and changes like this can cause unforeseen problems, but if you are going to test it thoroughly then it SHOULD be OK.
I would agree with SAP in that it is far better to NOT make this change, but if you really need to do this as part of your business process then you may have no other choice.
Have you thought of bringing the date of the contracts forward to the current date when they are created and controlling their use by setting the source list dates to the dates you want them to be used? This may not work and it too is a scary change but it might be worth having a play with it in your sandbox system (also set the source list as mandatory on the material master if you want to stop manual POs from being allocated too early).
So I guess I am saying go ahead if you have to but beware the warnings (even though they may be unfounded).

Source Determination in PO !

Hi all,
Why is there no source-determination checkbox when I create PO (tcode:ME21N)? This I am talking about the case when I am creating the PO without any reference to any other document.
Suppose while creating a PO, if I want the system to choose the vendor, how do I go about it?
Regards,
Chiranjib

Hi,
Supply source determination is the facility which has been given during the creation of PR. if you have a valid source list or a info record or a aggrement or a quota arrangement , system will assign a valid source to the document and which will make easy to create a PO.But however you can also create through ME25 provided if any of the above said master data is available.

MPN Manufacturer batch determination during goods issue

I am from pharma industry and my business runs with batch management, MPN features.
Scenario:
I have 3 different finished product P1, P2 and P3. All three finished products use raw material R1.
But, I have restrcition like, when I am manufacturing P1 product I can only use R1 of batch from manufacturer M1.
For P2 material we can use R1 batch from manufacturer M2 only.
For P3 material we can use R1 batch from manufacturer M1 and M2.
Now, I have maintained the BOM CS02 batch classification for three differ FGs P1, P2 and P3 with relation P1-R1-M1, P2-R1-M2, P3-R1-M1+M2.
In COB2 T-code I am mainmtaining strategy type CO02 - Order type/Plant/Parent material with child relation ship. Here also, I am maintaining relation P1-R1-M1, P2-R1-M2, P3-R1-M1+M2.
Now, when I am creating process order in COR1, I am getting in case of P1 order R1 material batch determination only batches from M1 manufacturer.
Same as for P2 material process order R1 material only batches for detrmination from M2 manufacturer.
Same as for P3 material process order R1 material batch determination option from M1 and M2 only.
Now, if I don't go for batch determination through Process order and in stead of that if I want the batch determination during goods issue MIGO 261 movement against order, the above manufacturer level control we can't put.
As in MBC2 T-code, we have standard batch determination and search strategy for material, plant and movement type.
But, here we can't maintain any parent child relationship.
Now, can you please suggest how I can control manufactuer batch detrmination as per above strategy during Migo goods issue.
Through any standard settings we can do or, any exits required?
Gurus please suggest!

Dear
You can do this by using FM CO_WB_BATCH_DETERMINATION or VB_BATCH_DETERMINATION function module.
here you can sort the batches and compare the Batch results with the batch search strategy.

Automatic batch determination during goods issue

Hi,
We want automatic batch determination during issuance of components to a process order with out clicking on batch determination tab in COIK as well as I don't want to give '' in MB 1A transaction. Without clicking anything batch is determining is process order for components. But it is not happening during goods issue either in transaction COIK or in MB1A. If I use COIK again i have to click on batch determination tab and putting '' in MB1A. Then only batch determining. How to avoid this. Batch should determine automatically in inventory posting also like COIK, MB1A etc.

Automatic Batch Determination during Goods issue of Production Order

Hi,
Iam trying to set up automatic batch determination during Goods Issue against a production order. My requirement is system should automatically run the batch determination similar to the case in production order.
I have set up all the required configs for batch determination. But to get the batch I need to click on the batch determination button. What I need is without clicking on anything. How can I do this. Whats the config needed
Thanks and Regards
Enrico

Dear Enrico
It is required lot of set up both in production order parameters and Batch Managemnet .I am providing you a summery of it .
Configuration Required for your above issue are as follows :
1.Activated Batch Management in the Material Master-MRP2 view and Work Scheduling view of the FG
2.check material master MM02, tab MRP2 and set field "Batch Entry" to value 3 here
4.You maintain a Search Procedure in OPL8 - Order Type Dependent parameters .Before that you should have Batch serach strategy :The sequence of steps are as follows -
Create Condition Tables
Create Access Sequences
Create Strategy Types
Batch Search procedure definition
Batch Search procedure allocation and check activation
Define Selection classes
Define sort rules
Maintain Batch Allocation Strategy Number Ranges
All the above are available in the Path - SPRO --->Logistics-General ---> Batch Management ---> Batch Determination and Batch Check
5.Maintain the setting in T.code OPKP (production scheduling profile). Select automatic batch creation on order creation.
6.If u want to execute the batch determination for components in the component overview of production order , then u have to create batch search strategy at COB1
7.If u want to execute during order confirmation u have to create batch search strategy at MBC1.

URGENT PLEASE HELP - Source determination in Limits Carts not working

Dear all,
We have implemented SRM 4 on Server 5.0 and ECC 5 backend.
We have in our environment service masters that have been catalogued and linked to Contracts. When one raises a cart and selects one on these catalogue service items, a backend PO correctly creates and references the contract as specified in the catalog.
The problem we have discovered that if we raise a Limits order and specify the material group stipulated in the contract for a service, source determination fails to "pick up" this contract line. We are forced to enter a supplier all the time!
Also if we raise a text service line and select from "internal Goods/Services" a Service Master record and add it tothe cart, surce determination also does not pick up the R3 contract/line that matched this service. This means that when POs are created in the backend, they are not referencing any contract (no call-off)
Why is this happening? How come catalogue items linked to a service masters and contracts work and correctly and a Limits order do not?
Please help, we need to resolve this issue today.
Thanks,
Grace.

Hi Grace,
The contracts that are created in SRM can only be refered as Source of supplies while creating shopping carts if your are working in Extended Classic scenario.
In case you want to refer the back end contracts, Info. records for creating shopping carts you have to implement classic scenario.
The standard SRM does not provide the functionality you needed where as if you want to use back end contracts for a particular product category you can implement "Controlled Extended Classic Scenario BADI " which makes the classic scenario active for that product category, there by a back end contract can be referred for that product category when ever a shopping cart is made.
Hope this makes you clear. Clarifications are welcome.
Award points for suitable replies.

Source determination with referance to quota arrangement

Dear all
I had created quota for vendor A & Vendor B for a material M100, I had also defined quota arrangement usage in SPRO ( 3),
While creation of PR for this material M100, I had selected the tick for source determination, But still system is not determining the source.
Here one more observation is if I create the info record the source is determined from info record & the details are updated in quota.
Can some one help me which other things I need to check, so that the source is automatically determined by system from quota arrangement.
Thanks in advance
Regards

HI,
If MIGO is done for the P.O all the datas are updated in the Purchase order history.
When you are doing MIRO , it will take what you have entered in the MIGO only.

Need help in source determination.

Hi
There is a source list maintained for a material and plant comibination. This list contains the Agrements along with the vendors.
Now the quesion is how the system will use this for source determination?
IS there any T-Code to analyze the source list and find a appropriate vendor?
Any other records, documents which system will consider while source determination.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
Nageswara.

Dear Nageswara,
First understand the importance of sorce list. it is used to restrict the number of suppliers. It means that if you don't maintain the supplier in the source list you can not procure the material form that supplier if you have activated the source list for that material .
your source of supplier can be anything i.e. it may be external vendor or another plant or outline aggrements.
while creating the PR or PO system will ask for source of supply. here you can choose any of the supplier which is maintained in the source list.
There is T-code as ME01 for maintaing the source list.
Thanks and Regards

Automatic Source Determination

Hello,
I have implemented function module exit EXIT_SAPLMEREQ_005 of enhancement MEREQ001 to control user input, one of which is the desired vendor field. Under standard system conditions, if the user enters a desired vendor then automatic source determination is ignored. The exit implemented clears this entry. I'm successfull with this strategy so far.
Now that I have the field cleared, I was hoping that automatic source determination would take over. Unfortunately, it seems this is executed (or would have been) before my exit. I want to execute the procedure again after clearing the desired vendor. Do you know the function module, or something, that will do this for me?
Thanks
C

Thank you for your reply! Your suggestion led me to ME_SEARCH_SOURCE_OF_SUPPLY. A break-point in this function module proved to me that this is the one being executed. This function requires VALUE(COMIN) LIKE BQPIM STRUCTURE BQPIM.
The function module exit I am implementing, EXIT_SAPLMEREQ_005 of enhancement MEREQ001, only includes data from MEREQ_ITEM, which is only line item data. Not all of the information required to build a structure like BQPIM is available, such as header data like document type and document category.
Where can I get all of the data I need to make the call to ME_SEARCH_SOURCE_OF_SUPPLY? Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
C
