Standard Quantity in Purchase Info Record

Dear Senior,
This is my first post. I just started working in MM.
My client has tried to create a Purchase info record. He entered 2000 in the standard quantity field and 4000 in the Minimum quantity field in the Info Records.
However, SAP did not allowed him to save the info record.
Why is it so?
To his understanding, the standard quantity field is used to enter the standard quantity(pack) the vendor is going to provide the materials inwhile the minimum quantity is the MOQ quantity. Why SAP do not allow him to save.
Please enlightened me.
Thank you a lot.

The reason why the standard quantity can't be less than the minimum qty is because the standard qty refers to the qty that would normally be ordered to that vendor. View any info record and check the help information about both, you will find a detailed explanation.
Explain your client that his understanding is not right.
Alejandro

Purchase Info record - ALV standard report

Hi,
Is there a standard transaction or report or some other utility program to get the purchase info record in excel format? I see ME1M and other standard transactions, but they doesn't come in one line report. I wanted to download the records in excel file and wanted to have for my analysis. Please help.
Regards

In your user parameter (PID) ad the following PID
ME_USE_GRID and enter X
Run ME1M again this will now be in ALV.

SAP MM:Purchase info record

Hi experts,
Can anyone tell me the complete process of purchase info record (ME11).Complete screen steps what are the tabs are there in ME11.I want screenshots of ME11
Hope for good answer from experts
Regards
sandhya

Hi Sandya,
If you want to create it manually you can do so by using the SAP transaction code ME11. At the initials screen the following are the input values:
Vendor Number
Material Number
Purchasing Organization
Plant
Info Category
After key in these values at the initial screen you can maintain rest of the information related to material and vendor in the subsequent screen. These information can be group as follows:
Purchasing Organization Data
Conditions
Texts
As per the business requirement you can make some of the fields (information) as mandatory by customizing. You can also restrict the end user from modifying these information once saved in the system.
In the standard SAP purchasing info record is maintained as a source of information for Purchasing.
It contains some of the information from material master and some of the information related to its supplier/vendor.
Hence Material and Vendor Master is pre-requisite for a purchasing info record. You can also maintain the
purchasing information record without material master record if your material is for direct consumption.
Here you can use material group instead of material master. You can have more than one purchasing information
record for a single material if it is being supplied by more suppliers, one for each supplier. Information maintained
in purchasing information records is used as default data in documents such as purchase orders.
In standard SAP Info record stands for information record which contains concise information about a vendor and a material that Purchasing already procures from that vendor. An info record thus represents a material-vendor relationship. Following are some of the information maintained in Info record:
Units of measure in which materials are ordered from the vendor
The applicable reminder levels
Prices and Conditions with validity period (Present and Future)
Applicable Tax Code
Planned Delivery Time
Standard & Maximum Quantity
Tolerance limits for over-deliveries and under-deliveries
Number of Last Purchase Order or Quotation
Text
Vendor evaluation data
An indicator for showing vendor as regular vendor for the material
The vendor sub-range to which the material belongs
The availability period during which the vendor can supply the material
Thanks,

Purchase info record price simulation

Hi all,
I need to emulate the process used by transaction me1l in order to make a price simulation to obtain the net price and the effective price from the purchase info record related to a PO item.
I have to calculate them from the standard info record (info category = 0) using:
- pricing date = PO creation date
- simulation quantity = PO item quantity
- base unit of measure = PO item unit of measure
I have tried to use the function module ME_PRICING_INFORECORD but I haven't obtained the same values as using the transaction me1l. I don't know if I have used the correct input parameters but I have tried several options and I haven't obtained the correct values for any of them.
The parameters used are:
infoa = info record data obtained from table eina
infoe = info record data obtained from table eine
inpreissim -> simulation data:
      inpreissim-simng = PO item quantity
      inpreissim-simme = PO item unit of measure
      inpreissim-sidat = PO creation date
      inpreissim-pseff = 'X' for the effective price
      inpreissim-pseff = ' ' for the net price
simulation = 'X'
Does anybody know how I can emulate boton 'Price Simulation' in the transacction me1l in my code?

Hi Carmen,
i have the solution below
but for several rows i received wrong value for net_price and currency ( i suppose that the problem is with RM06I, missing CLEAR statement)
maybe the solution - CLEAR RM06I in ME_PRICING_DIALOG, because is not set up as initial, and takes values from previous row, if menge is initial
IF NOT MENGE IS INITIAL.
RM06I-SIMNG = MENGE.
RM06I-MEIN2 = MEINS.
KOMK-PRSDT = TERMIN.
ENDIF.
Do you have anybody the solution how set CLEAR RM06I ( i cannot modify SAP FM) or something else?
    CALL FUNCTION 'ME_PRICING_REFRESH'.
Provides dialog box for entry of simulation parameters
    CALL FUNCTION 'ME_PRICING_DIALOG'
         EXPORTING
              dunkel = 'X'
              infoa = la_eina
              infoe = la_eine
              meins = i_meins
              menge = i_menge
              termin = i_termin.
Price computations in Purchasing
    CALL FUNCTION 'ME_PRICING_INFORECORD'
         EXPORTING
              dialog_not_by_zero = 'X'
              infoa              = la_eina
              infoe              = la_eine
              simulation         = 'X'
         IMPORTING
              preisp             = la_komp
              preisk             = la_komk
              e_currency         = l_currency.
Thanks for advice

Create Purchase info record using LSMW idoc method

Hello Friends,
I am trying to update Purchase Info records using LSMW Standard program RM06IBI0.
But it is not updating the condition price details and scale Quantity.
For that the form suggessted LSMW IDOC method. with : Message Type         COND_A / COND_A02.
But i dont know is the info record created earlier to this step or else we can create both using this method
at a time ? Does anybody please suggest.
( Actually Purchase Info record created using transaction ME11 ).
Regards,
Phaneendra

you first create the info record and subsequently you load the conditions.
become familiar with the condition tables and its key first. Check How table A017 and A018 are maintained.
Intresting is the field VAKEY which is actually the link to your info record.
This is a combination of vendor, material, purchasing org, plant , and info record indicator.
data: begin of ZZVARKEYA,
        ZLIFNR like LFM1-LIFNR,
        ZMATNR like MARc-MATNR,
        ZEKORG like LFM1-EKORG,
        ZWERKS like MARC-WERKS,
        ZINFTYP like EINE-ESOKZ,
        end of zzvarkeyA.

How to change the Qty Conversion on a Purchase Info Record.

I am trying to change the Quantity Conversion for a particular Purchase Info Record as it is incorrect. The inputs are greyed out on the Purchasing Organization1 Data Screen. I have also gone to the Conditions screen and the Menu Selection is greyed out when I go to the Menu for EXTRAS->Conversion Factors. The Conversion Factor has been changed at the Additional Data Screen of the Material Master. Any help would be greatly apprectiated. Thanks in Advance.

I have solved this problem. From the Condition Record I went to the Menu Path, GOTO->ADDITIONAL DATA. From here I was able to go to the Conversion Factor and make the changes.

Purchase info record is not showing in po.

Hi all,
while creating purchase order i m giving purchase info record no but values from info record
is not updating in purchase order.plz help.
best regards.

Hi Nissinha,
There are so many ways to be analysed for the cause. Because PIR -Purchase info record:
Please check in order of priority while diagnosing and finding for the solution:
1. Check wether the PIR is created for the Vendor of that perticular material or not.
2. Check for the validity (valid upto which date) mentioned in the PIR
3. Check for the type of Info record (based on Item category) it is such as Standard, Sub contracting, etc
Hope it clarifies

Mass Creation of Material Group Purchase info record

Dear All
Currently we are developing a custom transaction in SAP to mass upload Purchase Info records from a flat file (excel)
We are using the standard Function Module ME_POST_INFORECORD to create the PIR s
We use two different number ranges for Material and Material Group PIR s. This is set up already in SPRO>MM>PIR>Define Number Ranges
Purchasing info record for stock material (Group - IL ) have a number range X
Purchasing info record for material group (non-stock mat.)(Grpup -IN) have number range Y
So when we create a Material PIR manually in SAP it picks X number range and Y number range for Material Group PIR
But when we create Material Groups PIR via the new custom transaction it creates PIR s with Number range X.
Upon checking understood that the standard FM ME_POST_INFORECORD is always defaulting the Number Range Group as IL internally . Seems like a harcoding done by SAP
Wanted to know
- Is there any another FM we should consider while creating Material Group PIR s. Any other Function module provided by SAP for that ?
- Or what can be other way to resolve this ?
Please let me know your views on this.
Regards
Shyam

Hi,
For mass upload from flat files you can consider LSMW with different options e.g. IDoc:
Message Type INFREC
Basic Type INFRECMASS01
or simply via recording of transaction (this should be using exactly the same NR as you have when doing this manually).

Tomek

Conditions in scale pricing in purchase info record

Dear Experts,
Need your valuable inputs on the following issue:
We have entered into an agreement with a vendor with the following clause:
1 PAC of material ABC costs Rs. 13000/-
In every month , the first PAC bought will be priced at Rs 13000/- and any quantity further bought in the same month will be priced at Rs. 6000/- per PAC.
For example:
07th July: PO placed for the material at 13000/-
15th July: Po placed for the material should automatically be at 6000/-
01st August: PO placed for the material at 13000/- and so on.
We looked up for Scales in Purchase Info Record and found to be valid only on quantity basis within the validity period of the info record.
Our concern is how to map the scaling condition for every month, whereby, the pricing of the purchase order in PO is system-dependent.
Looking forward to get the best solution,
Regards,
Nihar

I do not think its possible with scale maintain. Scale is used for picking price as per quantity.
Here, your requirement is against validity. Your price will be fluctuated against validity period.
You can maintain the price for the validity period as per your requirement in info record.
But unfortunately you have to maintain the price for every validity period for every months.
Otherwise you have the option of development, where you can write your own logic for the price picking in PO.

Mass Creation of Purchasing Info Records

Hi all,
we want to change the vendor for a certain amount of articles (old vendor e.g. 102, new vendor e.g. 768).
To order the articles (maybe approx. 1000) by the new vendor, we need to create new Purchasing Info Record (for vendor 768) for every article bought by vendor 102.
Is there a standard transaction to handle this? MASS_EINE doesn't seem to fit to my problem.
Regards,
Tobias

Hi Tobias,
You need to go for creating new Inforecord for Article, Vendor, Porg and Site Combination .
You should not go for Mass Maintanace for changing vendor.
Go for Uploading by LSMW or BDC for ME11 tcode.

In Purchase info record tax code is alredy exist for one vendor and material.
while making new Purchase order for same vendor and material but tax code is differant then can tax code will not update automatic in purchase info record.
How to do automatic updation in purchase info record?

Hi,
The Tax code will be updated from the PO at the first time Info record created from the PO as per the Info update setting.
In your case as already with tax code an Info record exist as per standard the new tax code willn't get updated in to the existing info record. You have to change the new tax code in the info recordfrom the transaction ME12.

Purchase info record numbering

Hi,
I need to create purchase info record for a meterial. for that i have done the following.
1. Created purchase infor record numbering range and group.
2. But at the time of creating the purchase info record the number which displaying is not related to
number i have created.
Please let me know where purchase info record group is assigned for numbering.
regards
Suresh S

Hi Suresh,
I undersatand your requirement.
SAP has provided only Two standard document Types for Pur. Info Records.
IL for Stock Material ( with matl No.)
IN For material Group (w/o MMR).
By default, if you enter Matl No. in the initial screen, system automatically picks the doc. type IL and the no. range assigned to it.
If you're not entered matl. no. in the initial screen, and proceed the Transaction further, system picks the doc. type IN and prompts you to enter Matl Group.
In the second case, the system picks up the no. range as per assignment.
Here in your case, you want create a new no. range and assign to your IL/ IN.
For this, you go to the transaction Define No. Ranges in Inforecord, from menu bar, choose Group-> maintain. Here you maintain your new no. range with a name. Now your new group is created with your required no. range.
Then select your new group ( Check box), select, IL, and click assign button and save.. Your IL is assigned to your new group and system picks the new No. Range when you are creating a Inforecord with Mat No. Similarly, you can change No. range for IN also.
or one more option you have.
In the first screen of No. Ranges Transaction, select change intervals tab button, you'll be goto intervals screen. There, from Menu bar, choose Interval-> change current No. Then you reset your current no. to Zero, save it. The again choose Change Interval, then in that screen, change the Interval with your new no. range.
Here in the second case, u need not maintain new groups. Just changing the Interval for the existing group.
You can adopt any one of these options.

kanth
