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 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,
Narayana N

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).

Default source determination in PR creation

Hi
How can we make defualt check on source determination in manual PR creation process. Meaning everytime user opens PR screen vide ME51N, source determination should be checked by default.(without manual intervention)
Thanks
Dinabandhu

HI,
You can maintain the default source determination indicator in PR using the following settings.
SPRO - MM - Purchasing - Environment Data - Define Default Values for Buyers
You can create a default value & In the source determination tab, you can maintain the source determination check for PR.
After creating the default value, you can maintain the same in the user master (SU01) in Parameters tab against the parameter id - EVO.
Thanks & Regards,

Supply source determination

what is meaning of supply source determination, how it works purchase price determinations sequence used in the calculation of sales price, Please explain me what is source determination and purchase price dterminatiion type whcih are used in sales price calculation.

Hi Madhuri,
The sales price calculation function contains three subfunctions:
       1.      Determining the purchase price (purchase price determination)
       2.      Determining the sales price (sales price determination)
       3.      Determining the margin, or the actual markup
So your question is about the first step i.e Purchase Price Determination
To determine the sales price of an article which is determined based on the purchase price of the articles ( markup), the purchase price of the article needs to be determined first.
Supply Source Determination
An article in a store can be procured from a DC or from a vendor. This is differentiated by using the "Supply source" which is in the Article Master - Store (or DC) view ( Field Name: MARC-BWSCL).
So when you enter a sales organisation and distribution channel in the VKP5 screen for Sales price calculation, the supply source needs to be found out first to find who is the supplier. The site for determining the supply source is based on the reference site that is assigned for every distribution chain ( Sales org + Dist Channel) and the Sales OrgDist ChannelPrice List
This configuration of assigning the reference site to the dist chain is in
Logistics general -> Retail Pricing ->Sales Price Calculation ->Assign Pricing Type/Reference Site to Organisation level
So once the reference site is determined the supply source of the article can be determined from that store. Then once it is done using the source determination of checking the
1. source list for the store/DC,
2. Supply Region
3. Regular vendor
etc then vendor will be identified ( the sequence may not be correct). Please refer to the below link for more detail on the source determination.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/32/fa424287cf9923e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Once this is done, now we know the cost of the article ( PB00) but we need to find the purchace schema.
The standard purchase price determination sequence is based on the Vendor Schema Group + Purchase Organisation ( Porg Schema group ) if its an external vendor else the STO schema will be determined. Once the Net purchase price is determined through the purchase price, this is used for determination of the sales price using the another process of sales price determination sequence.
Hope this clarifies your query.

A/c determination process - automaticaly flows to the exact plant wise

HI,
I'm posting again, on my blw query,
Pls explain the process abt a/c determination for service po's (with item catelory & a/c assign) during miro.
For example. I have three plants and same tax codes used for all plants and gl numbers are diff as per below. ,
For plant #1 - ESA - 101, ESE - 102, VSE -103
For Plant #2 - ESA- 201, ESE-202, VSE-203
For Plant #3 - ESA- 301, ESE-302, VSE-303
And assume gl is assigned in OB40 (w/o tax code combination) as,
ESA-101 , ESE - 202 , VSE -303 .
While doing miro for what ever plant, it's going and set on appropriate plant g/l nbrs based on trns. key.
Pls tell me how a/c determination process flows automaticaly to the exact plant wise.

Hi ,
For the automatic account posting to different G/L account for different plant---- Group the plants with different grouping by assigning different valuation grouping code. All the automatic account posting config is to be done for each of the valuation grouping code.
Thus the automatic account postings to different G/L accounts happen for different valuation grouping code.
Thanks & Regards,
Amjad

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.

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.

OutPut as a PDF doc for Output Determination process of a PO

Hi
Can I get the OutPut as a PDF document for OutPut Determination process of a PO for a Vendor.
My schema should produce a PDF file and get transmitted to that Vendor as soon i save my PO.
Also can i get any SAP document on this.
Pls help me. Swifty reply me.
cheers
MaruthiRam

Hi,
PO can be sent to using Outlook email or the Internal send within SAP.
Message via E-Mail
Use
You can send purchasing documents to a vendor by e-mail.
You can also send memos to an internal user from within the purchasing document, in which case the recipient can directly access the relevant document when processing the e-mail (executable mail).
Prerequisites
External Transmission
Make the necessary Customizing settings
The SAP system is configured for the transmission of external mails.
The message determination facility has been set up in Customizing for Purchasing.
You have defined a communication strategy in Customizing under Messages Output Control -> Message Types -> Define Message Types for <Purchasing Document> -> Maintain Message Types for <Purchasing Document> on the Default Values tab page, so that if no e-mail address can be found, for example, the system sends a fax.
The following information is necessary:
1.Data
2.Value
3.Comment
Message type:
Communication strategy
E.g. NEU
Choose a communication strategy or create a new one. Via the input help, you can branch to the maintenance function for communication strategies. Choose in the following window.
Enter the necessary data on the Default Values tab page on the detail screen for the message type ().
Processing routines
Medium
Program
FORM routine
5 (external transmission)
SAPF06P (e.g. for PO)
ENTRY_NEU
The entries are identical to those of the print output.
Partner roles
E.g. external transmission/LF
Maintain master data
Message records must have been created through master data maintenance (Purchasing menu). (See Creating Message Records)
Enter the necessary data u2013 for example, role LF (vendor), medium 5 (external transmission) and time spot 4 (send immediately upon saving).
SAP recommends that you work with time spot 4, so that the e-mails generated are sent immediately.
If you work with processing time spot 1 (send via periodically scheduled job), you must schedule the program RSNAST00 periodically for message output, so that messages are generated and e-mails sent.
An e-mail address is stored in the vendor master record.
An e-mail address is stored in the user master record.
Please note that you must also maintain an e-mail address for user IDs with which batch-jobs are carried out.
Internal Transmission
Make the necessary Customizing settings:
You have maintained the Customizing settings for Purchasing under Messages, Output Control -> Message Types ->Define Message Types for <Purchasing Document> -> Maintain Message Types for <Purchasing Document>.
The following information is necessary:
1.Data
2.Value
3.Comment
Message type:
Time-spot
Transmission medium (output medium)
Partner role
E.g. MAIL
E.g. 4 (send immediately upon saving)
7 (SAPoffice)

For more information on the internal and external transmission of e-mails, refer to the Basis documentation under Business Workplace (BC-SRV-GBT).
Further information on external transmission is available in the Basis documentation under SAPconnect and in the section External Sending in the SAP System.
Activities
External Transmission
If you have specified the processing time-spot 4 (send immediately upon saving), the system will immediately generate and transmit a message when you save the purchasing document.
If you have specified the processing time-spot 1 (send via periodically scheduled job), you must initiate the output of e-mails manually.
Result
You see the documents generated in the SAP system under Office ->Work center -> Outbox -> Documents.
Internal Transmission
On the message screen of the Purchasing application (e.g. in the purchase order), enter the message type, the medium (SAPoffice) and the role (MP = mail partner).
Choose Means of communication and enter your text on the following screen (<Purchasing document>: Send with note). Enter the useru2019s first and last names, for example, in the Recipient field.
Executable mail
If you wish to insert a transaction (because you want the recipient to view a purchase order, for example), choose Goto -> Execution parameters. Enter the necessary data, such as execution type (T = transaction), execution element (ME22N = Change Purchase Order), execution system, and the SET/GET parameters (BES for purchase order).
Result
If you have specified send immediately as the processing time-spot, the user will immediately receive a message or document when the purchase order is saved.
The user can view the message sent to him or her via Office -> Work center -> Inbox.
If the document in your inbox is an executable mail, you can click the right-hand mouse button and directly access the relevant purchase order, for example, via the menu thus displayed.
Hope it works...

How the Purchase Price determination process works in sap-mm?

Hi,
Can anybody tell in detail or have step by step document on Purchase Price determination process?
Thanks,
Pradip

Hi,
You can go for pricing manually or automatic. If you need pricing automatic you have to go for use of Access Sequences and Schema Group of Vendor. You can customize your pricing procedure according to your requirement such as like Domestic, Import and Stock transport.
For the above individually you have to configure Pricing Procedure and the following steps are:
SPRO->MM->Purchasing->Conditions->Define Price determination process
1. Define Condition Table:
2.Define Access Sequence,
3.Define Condition Type,
4.Define Calculating Schema,
5.Assign Calculation Schema, Access Sequence and Condition Type,
6.Define Schema Group Of Vendor,
7. Define Schema Group Of Purchasing Organization,
8.Assign Schema Group Of Vendor to Purchasing Organization,
9.Assignment of Schema Group Of Vendor ,Schema Group Purchasing Organization and Calculation Schema.
10. Assign Vendor to Schema Group of Vendor (XK02)
11.Maintain Condition record (MEK1)
after above steps, you can go for create PO in ME21N.
In the case of Import PO, you have to activate Import PO.
SPRO->Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Foreign Trade/Customs ->Control Foreign Trade Data in MM and SD Documents -

Using formula in price determination process for PO

Hi, dear experts,
I would like to define some conditions types for purchasing orders that allow me to calculate an insurance amount using the formula:
Insurance = [CF)((C+F)10%)]T
Where: C is the Gross price, F is the Freight and T is a factor that the user has to input
For that, I define a condition type for gross price, for the freight and for the T value
How can I have to define a condition type to do this operation?
On the other hand, the freight is a percentage of the gross price, but for this operation I need the amount, how can I make reference to this amount? (Result of gross price * freight (%))
Also, there is a link where can I find information regarding the price determination process?
Thanks in advance,
Mairo.

Hi,
You can store (surely you have them in data) the data for C and F in values that you can config in pricing procedure in the field 'SubTo'. After, you can obtain the amount with a formula VOFM and set it in M/08 in field 'AltCTy'. You can check this links to know how to do it:
http://saptechsolutions.com/pdf/InsideVOFM.pdf
http://saptechsolutions.com/pdf/VOFMFormulaRoutines.pdf (althouth it's for SD, pricing procedure in SD (tcode V/08) and in MM (M/08) are the same.
I hope this helps you.

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
Pravin

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.
