Procurement Card SRM 5.0

Hello,
I find different messages on the net, so I want to ask you.
We run SRM 5.0 extended classic with no material master. Does that scenario support purchasing cards?
If not, which versjons/scenarios do support it?

GAR

Yes. You can procure via Describe requirement. here you just need product category. No need to transfer materila master but you need to pull or make availablity of product category in SRM. Thsi request is called special requirement in srm.

Cross company code Stock transfer - Special procurement Key

Hi,
Please clear my following doubts...
1. We have two company codes, Company code: A1 having a Plant: AP1, Company code B1- Pant BP1,
Finished goods sold from the plant AP1 are purchased from the plant BP1, so is there is any possibility to create a special procurement key having BP1 as the delivering plant and assign the key in AP1 materials.
2. Can i combine the two plants AP1 and BP1 for total online planning (MD01) by creating a scope of planning indicator? and run a single MRP run for both plants at a time...
Please clarify...
Thanks,
JK

JK,
I dont think Scope Planning is problem. You can create Scope of planning combining multiple plants, use transaction OM0E.
I doubt on Special procurement key option for STO across cross company codes, as the special setting needed in that case would be that Plant as to be created as Vendor / Customer. I would suggest to post this to MM forum for further response on this.

Special procurement Key in APO

How do I define in APO the special procurement key relationships between plants within the company or consignment/ subcontracting, just want to maintain the same relationship as in R/3. I know you answered about special procurement type U: stock transfer which I got it, could you please explain how I maintain the above Sp. procurement keys in APO.
Thanks Mono
Harish's reply:
As far as i know you cant maintain Spl procurement keys in APO. This is used as an indicator in the material master for CIF and for creation of Transportation lanes in APO. So if you create manually more transportation lanes in APO to other source locations it will all be considered as sources of supply unlike in R3.

Hi Mono
Are you planning to run MRP in R3 and also plan in APO for the same materials. Depending on the sequence one of the runs is wasted
you normally plan selected materials in APO and the rest in R3
You can use the X0 in product master for APO relevant indicator and CIF only these materials to APO and plan it here
as for the spl procurement keys
If you have a special producrement key in R3 the Transportation lanes are created automatically with the correct source of supply or you can ensure you manually create this(and block or delete the others) so the planning will be the same as it would be in R3

Special procurement

We have the next case
A supplier is had with which the subcontracting figure is had; it is to
say the company facilitates part to him of the required components to
make the product.
On the other hand, the negotiation with the supplier is of purchase in
consignment, therefore the payment to the supplier is made solely when
the product is consumed
We have the following problem: When making the entrance of the product
(101) to the inventory is not possible to leave it in consigment. That
we can do?
Exists some form to both have cases of special procurement in one
single one?

Hi Yasir,
You can do that. I think you want to produce semi2 in X plant and after production you want transfer it to Y plant, So material semi2 in material master of Y plant maitain special procurement key=40 or 80 ( i.e., production in alternative(y) plant) then maintain BOM also in Y plant.
And create same material semi2 in plant X by using procurement key=E (in house production) and maintain same BOM . Then in this plant create work center, routing..etc as master data. Create requirement n run mrp n display stock/requirement list ( here system will display the planned order for perticular qty in one column n in last column system will show you the name of another plant) n create production order. After confirmation n all , MB1B and trasfer the semi2 material to plant Y.
Hope I cleared you , eventhough lets wait what other experts will reply you.

Which table in APO has the SPECIAL PROCUREMENT TYPE field?

Hi All,
I have to enhance the CIF by creating two additional T-Lane on the basis of Special procurement type of the product. For which table in APO can i get this field.
Also Is there any table in APO containing the value of material type in ECC
Please Help.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Gaurav ,
When you have special procurment key settings in R/3 for a material such that location B gets stock from location A (A---> B) , when you CIF the material to APO , a transportation lane gets created with source location = A and destination location = B. This source - destination combination is stored in table /sapapo/TR . If you want to get all products that are available in a particular transportaion lane you have to query table /sapapo/trprod. Means of transport is stored in table /sapapo/trm.
Also i dont think material type is available in APO (not very sure ). Material group is available and it is stored in table /sapapo/matkey.
Thanks

Considering stocks of both plants in special procure. type scenario.-urgent

Hi dudes,
Our client is using special procurement type 80(prod.in alternative plant), he is getting planned order in delivering plant as requirement generated by planning plant. while running MRP in both plants, it would consider only the stock of planning plant but not the stock of delivering plant suppose stock is made in delivering plant individually(say manual orders). As the requirement generated by planning plant, the planned order will be generated in delivering plant irrespective of its individual stock.
can we make the system to consider what ever the stock in delivering plant and create no planned order if stock is there.
thanks in advance
Robert

Robert,
If that was your requirement why not use Special Procurement key 70 (Withdraw from alternate plant). In this case system only creates reservation and Planning at Supplying plant will be based on the Net requirement calculation considering all recipets, Stock and Issues.

Procurement Type 'X' and Special Procurement Type

Hello all,
Need some advice over this topic.
Material with procurement type 'X' can either be procured externally or manufactured in-house. The problem is :
#1. If a special procurement type that corresponds to external procurement say for example '30' is set in Material master. I don't find an option to have this converted into a process/production order.
#2. Whereas If a special procurement type that corresponds to in-house production say for example '52' is set in the Material Master. I have almost every possible function's visible.
How do i get to the view process/production order for case 1 in the 'Additional Data for MRP Element' screen of MD04 ?
Please do help out.
Regards,
Rahul

Rahul,
Please re-read the SAP help related to special procurement key.
I know for sure the answer lies in there!
Here is what the F1 help says:
Use
You use special procurement when you want to be able to override the procurement type in the material master or define the procurement type more precisely.
If the procurement type is in-house, you can nevertheless force the system to ignore the BOM and routing, and process the material as if it were externally procured, by specifying the special procurement as external.
Now please check OMD9 configuration for the SP Keys that you are testing, it will be clear.
Good luck!

Special procurement key 65 in MRP view.

Hi gurus,
I have two plants A & B.
A = manufaturing plant.
B = planning plant.
In plant A, we have maintained special procurement key as 65(withdrawl from alt.plant B)
In plant B, we have maintained special procurement key as 55 (production in another plant A)
My question is that mandatory to maintain 65 in the plant A. What might be the effort if you not maintain.
Please explain.
thanks in advance.

Alapati,
You cant define special procurement key in both plants for the same material as defined by you. If Plant A is manufacturing you can have special procurement key assigned to the material in Plant B as "Production in Alternate Plant".

Special procurement type in Matrl Master?

Hello All,
Could someone please explain the significance of the field pecial procurement type in the material master?
We are working on a subcontracting scenario wherein the parent matrl is sometimes manufactured inhouse and sometimes sent to a subcontractor. I maintained the procurement type as X for this reason. Now should I maintain the special procurement type as 30 (Subcontracting)?
What exactly is the functionality of this field?What purpose does it serve? I have read the F1 help but have not understood it properly.Would really appreciate if someone could explain with a live example.
Regards,
V S

Hi,
Through Procurement type you define whether the procurement will be in-house production or extranal or both.
Sometimes this information isn't enough to describe the process, generally in the following cases :
Special Procurement for In-House Production
+ For a phantom assembly+
+ Production in alternative plant+
+ Withdrawal from an alternative plant+
Direct production
Special Procurement for External Procurement
+ Consignment+
+ Subcontracting+
+ Stock transfer+
+ Direct Procurement+
for the above cases, to carry out this information into system we use the "special procurement type field"
the most commun situation are: phantom assembly : we use in general indicator 50
Subcontracting : we use in general indicator 30

SPECIAL PROCUREMENT TYPE

Dear all,
In my company scenario we have..... in-house production, external procurement, and stock transfers .
My question is " what should be mentioned for...(OMD9) SPECIAL PROCUREMENT TYPE IN SPRO ?"
thanks and regards,
irfan

Hi ali,
Special procurement type Allows you to define the procurement type more exactly. The system determines the procurement type from the material type.
You use special procurement when you want to be able to override the procurement type in the material master or define the procurement type more precisely.
Plant,                Special procurement type & Description,   Procurement type,        special procurement
xxxx,                20    External procuremet,                         F   ,                                  K   ,
xxxx,                52    Inhouse production ,                          E ,                                   E,
xxxx,                40    Stock transfer        ,                          F ,                                   U,
Use the above settings.

Special Procurement MRP View VS. Costing View

Hi Experts,
What's the difference between the 2 Special Procurement Key in the MRP veiw and the Costing View? Should they always be the same?
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi,
MRP:
You use special procurement when you want to be able to override the procurement type in the material master or define the procurement type more precisely.
If the procurement type is in-house, you can nevertheless force the system to ignore the BOM and routing, and process the material as if it were externally procured, by specifying the special procurement as external.
Costing:
If you enter a special procurement type in the Costing view of the material master record, it will be used in costing.
If you do not enter a special procurement type in the costing view of the material master record, the system will use the special procurement type in the MRP view.
For further Clarification revert.
