Source Determination for Service PR

Hi Experts,
One of our clients requirement is in their Procurement process, they want to create Service PR (material group, text) with Item category D and Acc Assignment as K. They want the system to determine the Source of supply automatically. When we check the source determination check box- but the system is unable to determine the source.
They want to remove manual intervention. If the source is determined in PR, it will be converted to PO. Please assist.
Thank you,
Surendra

Dear Surendra,
This is to let you know that, there is no provision to maintain source list for services as we do for materials.
Suggestion A:
Since there is no provision to maintain the source list for services, follow the steps, which are explained by AKPT M . Sure it would help you, if not check out the other two suggestions, given below.
Suggestion B:
If you would like to have automatic procurement process as material procurement, better follow the below steps;
Create a material with material type DIEN
Maintain the source list
Create a PO for the service material
Create MIGO document
Note: As you are procuring services through material master, there is no involvement of Service Entry Sheet and the services will be directly posted to consumption account.
Suggestion C:
Try with 'Standard Service Catalog - ML01
Thanks & Regards,

  • Agent Determination for Service Entry (BO-BUS2091)

    HI,
    I am new to workflow and facing below issue.
    I have created a workflow for Service entry sheet approval (BO- BUS2901) and I am having an issue with the agent determination. I am using my own Ztable to determine the possible agents.
    I am using the following code in the FM of the rule I created for determining the agent:
    FUNCTION ZME_SRV_REL_GET_RESPONSIBLE.
    *"*"Local Interface:
    *"  TABLES
    *"      ACTOR_TAB STRUCTURE  SWHACTOR
    *"      AC_CONTAINER STRUCTURE  SWCONT
    *"  EXCEPTIONS
    *"      NOBODY_FOUND
    INCLUDE <cntain>.
    TABLES: essr_rel, essr,zmm_service_mail.
    DATA: object TYPE swc_object.
    DATA: BEGIN OF essrkey,
    lblni LIKE essr-lblni,
    END OF essrkey.
    DATA: verak_user TYPE csks-verak_user.
    REFRESH actor_tab.
    CLEAR actor_tab.
    swc_get_element ac_container 'service' object.
    if sy-subrc eq space.
    essrkey-lblni = object-objkey(10).
    select single * from essr where lblni = essrkey-lblni.
    select single * from zmm_service_mail
    where frggr = essr-frggr
    and frgsx = essr-frgsx.
    if essr-frgzu eq ' '.
    verak_user = zmm_service_mail-pernr1.
    elseif essr-frgzu eq 'x'.
    verak_user = zmm_service_mail-pernr2.
    endif.
    actor_tab-otype = 'us'.
    actor_tab-objid = verak_user.
    append actor_tab.
    endif.
    ENDFUNCTION.
    When I debug, sy-subrc = 8 at swc_get_element ac_container 'service' object.
    What could be the problem?
    Note- I have gone thru below thread but still I am unable to find the error.
    http://scn.sap.com/thread/2017416

    Hi,
    You should re-read the thread that you quoted above. The mighty Sue Keohan suggested a solution.
    Instead of trying to pass a service *object*, and then extracting the key, you can just pass the key itself.  It has type EESSR-LBLN1.
    swc_get_element ac_container 'service_key' lv_service_key.
    if sy-subrc eq 0.
      essrkey-lblni = lv_service_key.
    (etc)
    cheers

  • Automatic tax code determination for service POs

    Hi
    Can anyone tell  about the possibilities of automatic tax code determination for the service purchase orders.
    Thanks in advance
    Durai

    The tax indicator is used in the automatic determination of the tax code 
    in Purchasing.                                                                               
    The tax code can be determined automatically within the framework of tax 
    determination (via the conditions).                                      
    Tax indicators, which can come from the service master record,           
    Customizing, or the purchasing document, are used in this process. The   
    system determines the tax code on the basis of the combination of these  
    tax indicators.                                                                               
    Automatic determination of the tax code is useful, for example, if       
    different tax rates apply to different groups of services.

  • Automatic Tax Determination for Services

    Hi MM consultants....
    Today I hav this question...
    In Service Master (AC03) I have a Tax Indicator, but when I generate a PO for this Service, the tax is not determined automatically...
    How can I move the Tax Indicator in Service Master to the Purchase Order automatically??
    It works for materials, but not for services...
    What can I do?
    Regards...

    Hi,
    You need to activate taxes at the service level in configuration. Menu path is MM / External service management / Taxes at individual service level.

  • Data source creation for service contract configuration

    Hello all,
    I have to create a data source for extraction of service contract configuration. I think this could work like data source creation for sales order creation, but I don't know waht to enter in transaction CTBW. Anyone here has done this previously? Any pointers and/or the strategy you've used will be useful.
    Kind regards,

  • Sourcing Determination for Automatic Bid invitation.

    Helo all,
    We have a few issues with Sourcing Determination.
    SRM 4.0/EBP 5.0  SP 08
    We set the sourcing for all
    Product categories - Automatic Bid invitaion for items without source of supply in the Table BBPV_SRC_DETERMINE
    It was working fine but all of a sudden it moves all the requirements into the Sourcing cockpit instead of creating a Bid inviation.
    Things done after this set up..
    Product Categories were replicated again into the SRM system.
    All settings for product categories were deleted and entered again. (Ex PPOMA_BBP, Define Bckend sys for prd cat) etc.
    Has anyone run into issues like this before.

    Hi Claudia,
              I have created the contact person for bidder through the web only. There shouldnt be any problem in creating BP or contact person as the bid invitation was sent to bidder sucessfully, even i could create contract in backend after the bids receieved from the same bidder.only some times this error is flashed. ( all atributes, master data used is one and the same).
    Now could u please tell me how exactly the bid invitaion is sent to bidder. any FM, prog??? which i should check out??
    About creating bidder, I have created the bidder after replicating that vendor from backend. Then for the bidder i have created employee as a contact person through web ( Manage business partner) with bidder role assigned.
    thanx please.

  • Implement Org determination for Service Orders

    Hello Freinds ,
    My Client is implementing the service order with WebIC2005 with the following scenarios.
    Service orders created Manually.
    Service Orders created from completed sales order automatically.
    Could any one possibly suggest the best practice of implementing org determination for the above scenarios.
    Is it a correct practice to determine sales org for manual creation of Service Order.
    For Automation process is it not correct have sales org determined from sales order.
    How to determine Org Determination in  WebIC service order Link?
    Thanks & regards
    Amar

    Hi Amar,
    You cant assign two diffrent org determination for same transaction type.
    Its always better to determine the org at transaction type level. But wehn you are creating service order from sales order , you can set the rule in Copy control whether to copy the org or not.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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).

  • No account determination for Service PR with acct assngmnt

    Dear Experts,
    I am creating a PR with account assignment as K (even any other like F, N) and Item category D. After completing the entery of all details like service number, qty and gross price, a new screen is appearing to enter the cost center but also the G/L account number.
    I have maintained the Valuation class in the service master and the automatic account determination settings in OBYC are aslo setup.
    I am surprised why it is not determining the G/L account?
    Can any one please guide me how to rectify this error?
    Edited by: b praveen savan on Aug 14, 2009 3:12 PM

    Hi Praveen,
    You have to enter the correct GL Account & Cost Center for each line items.
    You are going to procure the material with respect to GL Account, System doesn't know whether the accounting should go to which GL A/C & Cost Center.
    Here, The STD SAP Scenario is you are purchasing the material with respect to Location/Dept wise to restrict the Qty updation in stock.
