Sub contract PO (Item Category "L" )

Dear Friend,
There is requirement from my client
In case of Sub contract Purchase order (Item category "L"), user should not have option to make any changes for "Child material" which is exploded through BOM. i.e. In PO Creation or Change transcation(ME21N or ME22N) at item level >Material Tab>Components option (which will show the details of "Child Material") should not appear or it can appear but in gray field.
Can any one help me to fix the issue
Thx
Deva

Dear Deva,
I dont think such configuration can be done. This is the flexibility given in system. This can be control through authorization or awareness.

yes, that is the problem, while creating PO system is troughing the error. thats why user is asking why PR is picking a contract which is expired!
creating PR manually. and user is having a bunch to perform such job so he can't check each PR for correct contract. and even it is not logical for system front to copy an expired contract.
2ndly one more questin, incase thr are 2 valid conact avaliable in system then while creating PR which contract system must pick

Contract with item category 'M' as a valid source.

Hi,
I have an issue in source determination process.This is the scenario.
Source list for a material 'A' is blocked.Source list check box checked in material master.when executing "Auto assignment" in the transaction ME57 system assigns a contract number with vendor code as a valid source.The contract doesn't have a material number and it is having only the item category 'M' and Material group. Need to understand how the system assigns the contract which is not maintained in the source list.Inforecord is not exist for the material group.

Item category change in contract load of CRM

Hi Guys,
i am loading contracts into CRM-intellectual property Management. i have to create 2 to 3 line items for same product in one contract with higher level items. generally item category is determined and can be changed via GUI. my requirement is i want to change item category through FM CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN by the time it creates contract but item category is not changing, showing what ever was determined.
i am passing item_type in ORDERADM_I and passing item_type field name for input fields but it is not helping me. Please let me know if any body has any clue..
Thanks for your help
Siva

Do you want to change the item category just before order (contract) save? Or after the save? Try looking at crm_orderadm_i_badi.
Another idea ... try manually changing the item category in CRM Online, BUT .. do a /h and place a breakpoint at ABAP statement "call function CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN". This way you can see the input parameters for CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN when CRM itself is changing the item category, the correct way. Then from these input parameters you can get the hint of what parameters must be passed to CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN to change the item category by a direct call. I hope that made sense....
Hope it helps,
Rahul

Service line item History for Contracts with item cat - D and Acc Assg P

Hello Gurus,
We have a situation where we create contract with item category D (Service) and account assignment category P (Projects). And for the line items of the PO we have difference services (without a service master) and each service line item has the price and quantity and other required fields. Now it is required to change the price or the quantity or both for this service line time and again (business requirement).
The task is to to track the price changes and the quantity changes that have happened to the serive line item from the original and we require the report to diplay the original price and the present price on the service line.
The question is: Is there a standard report in SAP to handle this? Or which are the tables where a service line items history is stored so that it can lead to a development.

Hi Pankaj,
We are using a Percentage based case (Prorata case)
For Eg : For Eg for 65% (65KAI )material Price 1000 Rs
If the Purity percentage varies payment will be done as per the same. For eg : for 70% (70KAI ) Price 1200 Rs. (approx)
In this case unit of measurement is KAI (kilo active ingredient) .
Actually we are dealing with dealer price where duties are entered Inclusive of the total price and entered at the time of making GR. and the payment is made as per the same;
we have one po for 5000 MT. where we received material at first time Qty being 1993 MT.The duties manuallyentered are as follows :BED :24,167.00
AED : 7,076.00
ECS : 483.00
SECES : 242.00
These duties are flowing correctly in MIRO
and the MIRO has been Posted and payment is also made.
But while the balance quantity 2982 kg we received next time and those duties are as flowing as follws:
BED : 36160
AED : 10587
ECS : 723
SECS : 362
But here at the MIRO the following duties are flowing instead of above
BED : 36,526.08
AED : 10,694.18
ECS : 730.32
SECS : 365.66
What might be the error at this stage.
waiting for solution at the earliest .

Item category W ( material groups )

Hello
I have a requirement.
Creation of Item category W for purchase requisitions.
Reason : We need to create Contracts with Item category W. And Purchase requisition is a requisite for creation of contracts.
How do i handle this.
I had initially suggested that Use of Item category W is not possible for Purchase requisitions
Rather they should use a PR with standard Item category and Account assignment U ( unknown)
Then create a contract referencing this Purchase requisiion.
However, when i tried this myself, the item category field itself got greyed out,
Request someone to guide me onthis. What is the other combination, of Itemcategory and acc. Assignment can i use for PRs such that i can create value contracts
Kindly advise. This is very urgently needed.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Santosh

You can create a standard PR with blank item category and acct. assign. Cat.
Then create a value contract with document type WK with ref to PR, in the screen adopt + Details you can define the item category W & require Account assignment category.
Please check the combination of them in below path in SPRO.
SPROMaterial mgtPurchasingu2014Account assignment--Define Combination of Item Categories/Account Assignment Cat
Hope help U.

Item category W

Hello
Item category W(contract items), can this be used for materials without material
master records.?
Thank you

Hi Sunil,
The contract specific item category W(material group) is available to represent contractual agreements for group of materials.The item category W is intended for the entry of contract items without specification of the material number(without material master record).
Item category W is recommended for materials belonging to the same material group but with different prices.Item category can only be used in value contracts.
Example of use of item categoty W:
You have set up a contract with your vendor for various types of cables.The contract is to cover all types of cable included in the vendor's price list.However the exact type is only determined when a purchase order is created for a certain cable.Instead of creating one contract item for each type of cable in the vendors assortment,you could enter the item category W and the appropriate material group.
Hope this will help you

Swap between two different item categories in sales orders for sub-contracting

Dear gurus,
my requirement is to have the ability to swap between two different item categories for sales orders for sub-contracting.
This should be controlled by a combination of the material and a value maintained the Usage field in the Customer Material Info Record (for example by entering a ‘V’). A combination of Sales Doc Type, Item Cat Group and Usage should result in the creation of a purchase requisition.
In the event that a process order is required instead of a purchase requisition (i.e. the product is to be manufactured in-house instead of sub-contracted) the user must have the ability to change the Item Category within the sales order to produce a process order.
The user would just change the item category within the sales order, and the system would automatically remove the purchase requisition assigned to the SO, and create a process order and assign it to the SO.
Can you suggest any possible solution?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Majlo,
In my system, I checked. First created sales order with third party line item and then changed item category to normal item category.
Till Purchase order not created, I can change Item category of my sales order line item.
In this case SAP inform by log and once save delete purchase requisition of that line item .
For this you need to assign another item category as an manual item category in SPRO Item category assignment.
After this user can manually change item category to other one manually, if PO do not exist.
Please let me know if your query is different.

Characteristics of Item Cate. u2013 u201CLu201D(Sub-Contracting) (Q2-4)

Dear Sirs,
When I displayed the Characteristics of Item Cate. u2013 u201CLu201D (Sub-Contracting) through "IMG - MM - Purchasing - Define External Representation of Item Cate.", I found that a checkbox - "PO Item Linked" was checked in "Invoice Receipt", meaning that invoice must be processed for PO. If I create a "Return" or "Free Goods" item using this Item Cate., is the invoice also required to process ?
Tks,
KH Fong

Hi,
When you are doing subcontracting process you can not have "returns" indicator selecetd in PO with item category "L".
For free goods, invoice verification is not applicable.

Refurb sub contract PO one material two line items

Hi we have the following scenario:
We have a sub contract (item category L) for a rotable spare. We create a service PO for the MATERIAL. When the invoice comes in there are two line items as we charged for materials used to repair the item at one tax rate, and the service to replair the item at another rate.
How do we goods reciept / SES this to ensure that we only get stock of one coming back in from the vendor but capture two lines in the invoice to ensure that the invoice doesn't block? So we can't create a two line item PO as the goods reciept would book two into stock.
Any suggestions?
Thanks hope this makes sence.
Other things that might help:
Single item recursive BOM
Goods issued to vendor via ME20
Legal requirement to have two lines as we are paying two rates of tax

Tracey Durkin wrote:Hi,

>
When you have one PO line item for Recursive BOM , and one for service, this will not book two in to stock
One will be material into stock and other will be service payments, not stock as no material is involved in service
So you can do recursive BOM for same item , at this item you can capture material used by vendor
And at the second line with item category "D" you do service entry both can have different tax codes
Thanks

Sub-contract PO for FERT item

Hi,
We have a finished product (FERT) which is assembled In-house using several items.
The same finished product is also assembled at vendor's place.
At present we are going through service PO (MB21N) since we are not able to make a sub-contract PO for a FERT item. In this scenario how shoud we set the master data (MRP2 Procurement views). Is there any way we can do this?
Please suggest, its urgent.
regards
Shivkumar Kanti.

Hi
In Material Master, MRP View 2....for that FERT Product maintain Special Procurement Key: 30....
so when ever you run MRP.....automatically for that FERT product, Sub contracting PR with Item category " L" will be created....you can Convert this     SC-PR   in to SC-PO with Item category "L"
If you already maintained BOM    for that FERT Product...the components will be automatically exploded in SC-PO, Item Details,Material Data....
These Component you can send it to SC-Vendor useing T.Code: ME2O.....by 541Movent type...
After completion of the Assembling, you can get back the FERT product from SC-Vendor in MIGO, useing 101Movement type....that time the components you have provided to vendors are automatically consumed in   543 O-- movement type....
If there is any over consumption or under consumption of your components at SC-Vendor....SAP Best practice provides you the option of Subsequent Adjustment....
