Hi,
Whether you trying to create the PO with Item Cat B you will need to worry about the consumption as with Cat. B you need to mention the Account assignment cat. whether its K or U or M any thing but your material will go in consumption directly for that specified account and not to the accounts you maintained for that material.
this will impact you on your monthly report's or the Yearly reports as if you have changed tha account for consumption.
as well if you have consumed that material you need to put the Material Valuation as Moving only as the price of all the PO will be differed and the material in PO will need to monitor for MAP change by M1EP TCode.
see if you want to consume all the materials for specified accounts other than what you maintaining now, is very much helpful for you but not to maintain your Price. as well if you gonna sale that material how you going to rectify the price is a big problem so there will be a difference in Profit analysis also.
Try do Confirmatory test in DEV(i think you have done that) still i suggest not to go for B other than Standard one.

Item category limit (B) in frame work order

Is it that item category B (limit) is mandetory in frame work order ? In that case it should appear by default. Can we use any other item category with frame work order logically?

first the question is why do we use frame work order when we already have other document ype avilable
answer is when ever we need to create a po for a validity period then frame work order is used
next thing why do we use u=item category B or limit
answer genrally frame. work order is used as blanket po means for those comodities which r procured very frequently but there monetrey value is very less
and ur not intersted in doing there godd reciept u will be directly going for invoice reciept

Why did you create a SES for a Framework Order, SAP Framework order does not need any GR/SES.
Process is Framework Order > Invoices.
Two way match.

Error in Frame Work Order

Hi SAP Gurus
While creating a frame work order system is providing an error "Enter free of Charge" and message number ME083. The material in concern is procured against cost center and it is not FOC material.
I've checked in "Invoice Tab" the selection is there for Inv. receipt and in field selection for "FOF" there is no mandatory
field selection GR/IR control. Pls help me solve this error.
Thanks
Rajesh

Rajesh,
See OSS note 167535.
Symptom
In Customizing, field "GR/GI indicator" is set as a required field. If you create a purchase order and enter an item on the table control overview screen and subsequently choose 'Enter', the system generates error message ME083 "Please enter free of charge". The cursor is placed on checkbox "Free item" in this case.
Cause and prerequisites
Field "Free item" has the same modification group as the GR/IR indicator.

Frame work order - Process

Hi Friends,
We are using Blanket Purchase order(Order type- FO) for purchasing materials and services for the period of 2 years.
We have one scenario, i don't know, how it will affect the Frame work Order.
The scenario is,We have FO for the quantity of 10000 Materials in the period of Nov 2008 to Nov 2010. And every month, we are calling vendor and tell him to send the material for the quantity of 100.
First situation, we need more materials i.e 500 during Nov 2009 due to market demand in that case how Frame work order works, do we need to change Frame work order?. is it possible?.
Second situation, During the month of Sep 2009, vendor is informing us that he can not give the same materials for same price due to increase in cost of materials. How Frame work order works, do we need to create new Frame work order or FO can be changed?.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks

First situation: not possible, you can not change the frame work order, you have to create new purchase order for 500 qty
Second situation: also not possible, for the changed price, create purchase order for the new price for the excess qty.
thanks,
SGR.

Frame work order in PM order

Hi all,
While creating PM order, for service, purchasing data, we can use Frame work order. If we use frame work order as source of supply, it is creating PR.
You can do service entry sheet basing on PR, but while creating service entry sheet basing on PR is giving an error saying GR is not allowed for Order (PM) order. It is trying to do GR for service entry sheet against the PM order.
Please give the settings needs to done to use Frame work order functionality in PM order? What are the subsequent process steps needs to be done? How can we settle the vendor and how can we close the PM order.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Framework order: -
Purchasing document used to procure materials or external services. Instead of stipulating a specific delivery date, this type of purchase order has an extended validity period.
Framework orders are defined via the document type FO. They are used in accelerated procurement processes in connection with maintenance/ servicing plans or invoicing plans, and for blanket purchase orders (purchase orders with limits).
A framework order covers multiple procurement transactions over a longer period in cases where the administrative costs of processing discrete POs would be disproportionately high.

Can we use contract or Frame work order or any other?

Dear Experts,
We want to create a purchase order for our new plant which is being developed.
We would like to give this contract to a Foreign Vendor, for which final value is fixed. Say, for example 1000 USD. The time limit would be say, for example, 6 months.
So they will be sending the parts in several consignments. So, also, payment to vendor is will be done at various steps.
As on when they make ready the parts for dispatch, they can send a list of items, along with prices.
Then we want to make a PO to them with reference to main contract, for each of the consignment which they ship.
Finally we want to track,
- the total value of the consignment as per this contract, so far...
- the total payment done to the vendor as per this contract, so far...
etc...
Please suggest, which arrangement is correct.
My contact number is 96111 01459 (Karnataka Mobile).
Ganapathi

We had a similar requirement in one of my older implementations. The solution we implemented is as follows:
PO issued for 1 account assigned line item - Installation of plant - $1000.
On receipt of details of first consignment, the PO is amended. The items are added in the PO and the value of the first line item is reduced.
This helps track all the things you want to track.
Hope this answers,
Lakshman

Error while creating Frame work Purchase order

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to implement Frame work order process with following configurations.
1)Item cat B for acc assingment Y
2)Allow item catg B with acc *** K and Y.(How to config this in SPRO)
So when i am creating a PO adopted through Purchase Req (account *** K and item cat B) i am getting error message "Pricing Error :Mandatory condition NAVS is Missing".So how do i configure this pricing process.
Also when i am creating a Frame work order do i need to select the document type both in PO and PR as frame work order or NB order type will work with these config of Item cat B and acc *** Y?
When i am creating a PR or PO with doc type frame work order the order unit is automatically populating as "AU" is this something std or do i have to do anything in configuration?
When i created a PO with ref to PR aith account *** K into the PO and add the item category B the charging information was not maintained so how to maintian this?
How to maintain the accounting info from PR?
Also if there is a complete process link releated to config of frame work order that will be great.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi
We are trying to implement Frame work order process with following configurations.
Item cat B for acc assingment Y
Create new acct assignment category in IMG -MM - Purchasing -Account Assignment - Maintain Account Assignment Categories (If you are sure of fields to be used then you can directly create Y, if not then copy existing category say K to new one and choose required fields)
Allow item catg B with acc *** K and Y.(How to config this in SPRO)
In Purchasing - account assignment - Define Combination of Item Categories/Account Assignment Categories - set combination for Y and B.
Hope your documement types (PO & PR) allows item category B.
So when i am creating a PO adopted through Purchase Req (account *** K and item cat B) i am getting error message "Pricing Error :Mandatory condition NAVS is Missing".So how do i configure this pricing process.
Check the pricing procedure in IMG - Purchasing - Conditions - Define Price Determination Process - Define Calculation Schema - Check for calculation schema - NAVS has been maintained.
Also when i am creating a Frame work order do i need to select the document type both in PO and PR as frame work order or NB order type will work with these config of Item cat B and acc *** Y?
You need to choose document types while creating purchase transactions. If that document type doesnt support item category B- then you will get an error message.
When i am creating a PR or PO with doc type frame work order the order unit is automatically populating as "AU" is this something std or do i have to do anything in configuration?
For services (D category) we define AU as default unit (IMG - MM - External Services Management - Source Determination and Default Values - for Client/for Purchasing Organizations)
When i created a PO with ref to PR aith account *** K into the PO and add the item category B the charging information was not maintained so how to maintian this?
How to maintain the accounting info from PR?
create Framework requisition and then copy it to a PO.
Thanks

Adding work order short text to KSBB report

Presently, our budget administrator runs various KSBB reports for showing budget/actuals. For instance, you run the report <i>Plan/Actual Comparisons -> Additional Ratios -> Cost Centers: Act./Plan/Commitments</i>. Then you drill down into the actual line items for the one of the material settlement cost centers. One of the fields in the resulting report is called "Partner Order" and it shows the work order associated with the line item. Of course, the work order can be displayed in IW33.
What I would like to do is show the work order number short text [description] either along with the work order number or instead of it. I know the work order number ties back to the AUFNR field in the view CAUFV, and the short text goes back to the field CAUFV-KTEXT. What I don't know is how to get KTEXT onto the KSBB report. I'm sure I will have to customize the report, but I don't know where to start.
Anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
We are running 4.7 Enterprise (Basis 620) with FI, CO, MM, PM, PS, and HR/PY.

Hi!
After you have chosen the report and you are on the selection screen, you have to determine its technikal name. For this, choose environment - techikal information menu.
Report group is what you need.
Then go to GR55 transaction to modify the report group.
Because these are not exact ABAP program, I don't know how can you read (select) data from caufv, but you might try it.
OR! You can copy the program. The program name is also in the technikal data panel, its like this: GPC3IL91J3FDQJFRDFHTFNJSIKF040
Give more human name to it and you can write your ABAP code into it.

The additive cost can not display on the work order plan cost

dear friends
first i run the ck74n for the additive cost ,second i run the ck11n for cost estimate ,i can see that the additive cost update to the standard cost successfully ,at last i run the ck24 mark and release the standard cost,but when i raise a work order ,i can not see the additive cost in the plan cost ,i do not know the reason ,do you have some suggestion
thanks

Hi
This behaviour is expected and standard...
In Std cost estimate, you have the option of inputting components manually in CK74N... But the actual costs in Prod order will come either from Material issues/Activity Confirmations or manual postings from FI... There is no option to enter additive costs in actuals.. Hence, there is no option of "additive costs" in the Planned costng variant of Prod order
If you enter any additive costs in CK11N, It is done because you cant estimate it through Qty Structure.. But, during actuals, the actual costs are all available through Material issues/Activity Confirmations.. hence, the additive costs does not apply here

Blanket and Frame work PO

Hi,
Can u explain what is blanket and frame work PO , when we required this type of PO and how to process it.
regards,
zafar

HI,
In general the Blanket POs are used for consumable materials such as Xerorx papers with a short text (does not need to have Master Record) with Item Category ' B' i.e.limit, where in the PO validity period as well as the limits are to be mentioned for the simplicity of procurement.
The doc type is 'FO' (Framework Order). The GR or Service Entry for the PO are not necessary in case of Blanket POs as well as one need not to mention the account assignment category during creation of PO it can be 'U'-unknown & can be changed at the time of IR.
Order type FO (framework order)
1. Validity period in header of purchase order (field selection)
2. Item category B (limit)
A.. Limit in the item
B. No material number
C. Account assignment category U (unknown) is allowed
D. No goods receipt or service entry
3. Accounting data for the item suggested in invoices
4. Additional or multiple account assignment possible in invoice verification
5. Check of validity period and limit in invoice verification
To be able to work with validity periods and limits in a purchase order, you must
use document type FO (framework order) and item category B (limit). In the
standard system, document type FO enables you to specify the validity period at
PO header data level and use the item category B for limit items. (Limit items are
sometimes referred to as blanket items.)
Because you can only use a blanket order to procure consumable materials or
services, you must enter an account assignment for PO items with the item
category B. However, you need not specify the precise account assignment at the
time you create the blanket PO. Instead, you can use the account assignment
category U (unknown).
You cannot specify a material number in a PO item with item category B. You
have to describe the materials or services that are to be procured (such as office
materials) using a short text. You also have to specify a material/service group.

Frame work Purchase Order Plus Service entry sheet

Hello,
We are having the issue of defining this Purchase order process for Non receivable items i:e items which are non goods receipt like PO for services.When we create a PO with one line item and quantity of 5 and total value of PO is 500 .So after the first invoice the system is closing the PO .System is not looking at the quantity and just closing out the PO .So we have to design a process in which we need to create multiple invoice for a Po(Non GR) also we need to set the tolerence limit for the PO which i thing will be set in OMR6 (PP) and also regardless on quantity the system can create multiple invoices .So what is a good process to drive this.Either Frame work PO or service entry sheet??
Also is there a way in config we can set tolerence limit for the whole amount of PO .Like in OMR6 we define the upper and lower limit of PO .So if the total value of PO is 1000 ,while creating the invoice it vont allow us to create invoices for more than 1050 .can we set the tolerence for the whole amount of PO ?? Regardless of how many invoices we create.

Thanks Andra,
The problem is the multiple invoices is for non goods receipt item so there will be no delivery.At the time of creating a PO the GR is not checked so there will be no delivery .
Also this setting is for invoices which are comming from Vendors.But if we are genrating the invoices manually it is not blocking those invoices.Also i there is nowhere mentioned in Incomming invoice to set tolerence for incomming invoice.Are you talking about Vendor tolerences?
Thanks in advance
