Supplier Price Optimization

Hi:
We are at SPM 2.1 SP6 P4.
Looking at Supplier Price Optimization, which looks at optimization opportunity between multiple suppliers, how can we remove those item that has only single supplier?
(We need to use Source system Supplier instead of Supplier)
If we exclude the records using SPO amount to be zero, then we also remove the record for an itme that has multile supplies one of which can be showing a zero SPO amount and hence that is not desired result - so we cannot do it...
I thought of using Supplier Count but that cannot work since the SSys supplier is part of the report and hence it will always give 1 .
Any clue here?
Thanks

Hi Harin,
You can try setting a filter on Supplier Price Optimization <> 0. However this will hide other rows also where they are multiple supplier also but none of them have and optimization potential.

Supplier Price in Material Master

Hi,
Is there a field in Material Master when the supplier proce can be uploaded?
We would like a place to store a suppliers current price against a material.
Currently this data is stored in a spreadsheet, so weu2019d also like to know the possibility
of uploading this data once a field has been identified.
Thanks,
Jograd

Hi Jograd,
You can maintain supplier price in Purchasing Info Record via ME11 not in material master.

GRN booking at supply price !!!

Hi
One of our client has below mentioned particular scenario and your inputs will be highly appreciated in mapping this scenario.
Material X ordered to Vendor V, qty 100kg at price Rs.100/kg
Vendor V has dealer depots at various places as V1, V2, V3, V4 and always supplies from depots.
V1, V2, V3, V4 are all excise registered.
Out of 100kg each depot supplies 25kg individually on different dates.
V1 supplies at Rs.99, V2 supplies at 98, V3 supplies at Rs.102, V4 supplies at Rs.100
GRN should be booked at the respective supply price of each depot and also RG23A
entries should have V1,V2,V3,V4 address/excise details against their respective deliveries.
Payment for all deliveries is to be made to the vendor V or may be to the respective depot
or may be to an agent V5 at the supply price of each individual depot.
Thank You

Hi,
You have one vendor withe different addresses. Hence create four vendors as per their depot addresses. You have to raise seperate P.O. for each vendor. Then do migo and miro accordingly.

Supplier price lists

Hello everyone,
I've already searched the forum and asked google but I haven't found the solution or any hint :(
We have our items. But we have different suppliers for our items. Each supplier has an other price and item number for those items, e.g:
Our item number IN1000500. For this item we have three suppliers (A, B, C).
Supplier A has a price of 5,- and the item is called A123
Supplier B has a price of 8,- and the item is called B123
Supplier C has a price of 10,- and the item is called C123
Before we create a purchase order we want to check which supplier will have the needed item. So if we're searching for IN1000500 the system should tell us Supplier A, B and C have this item for price 5, 8 and 10,-.
When we create the PO for Supplier B and enter our item IN1000500 the system should fill in price 8,- and supplier item number B123.
Does anyone know if this is possible within the eBusiness Suite? If yes how is this feature called? Do anyone have an instruction?
thanks a lot,
Josef

I don't think catalog would solve the problem.
Catalog is built upon negotiated price from BPA and Quotation; prior purchases, sourcing rules, and requisition template. You can have several BPA, for each supplier, but you will still have to choose which BPA - Supplier you want to use.
Oracle Purchasing cannot default the appropriate price against the supplier you entered in PO header without customization / form personalization.
Plus, the supplier item number is keyed in manually

Mdd power supply price?

Anyone happen to run across a good price on a new mdd power supply. The best I have found so far is 199 with exchange plus shipping. Hoping for cheaper.

HEHE I don't think mine is fixable now. I put a oversized fuse in it to see if I could get it to run just long enough to check if everything else was working and when I plugged it in it popped so loud that I about had a heart attack.

Is it possible to make Supplier field Mandatory in Shopping Cart (SRM7.0)?

Hi Experts,
We are configuring SRM7.0 with ECC6 ( Ehp4) having Classic Scenario.
We are only using Shopping Cart functionality and most of the Material and services will have Contract & Pur. Info Records in ECC B/E system.
in SRM, if any Product don't have any SoS , then user can assign Supplier code and Price manually in S/C and Classic PO creates automatically. But if User missed to enter Supplier code then, in that case we neither want to sent the S/C to the Sourcing Cockpit nor want to create ECC PR from it.
If there is NO any SoS ( ECC Contract or Pur Info Record) exist , then user MUST have to enter Supplier code & price manually and so we want to set the fields SUPPLIER & PRICE MANDATORY.
Is it Possible ? if yes , then how this can be done ?
Thanks

But if User missed to enter Supplier code then, in that case we neither want to sent the S/C to the Sourcing Cockpit nor want to create ECC PR from it. - If the REQUESTIONER enter prefered vendor - it can create only PR IF NO SOURCING . if REQUESTIOTIONER selected fixed vendor - Then PO created .
here you are giving more control to REQUISITIONER department than Purchasing department.

you can validate any field to make mandatory...and spit error by doc check BADI.

Though business allows REQUISITIONER wants to create PO directly from the shopping cart without BUYER intervention and WITHOUT Fixed vendor . no issues . Asimple logic to change preferred vendor 39 to fixed vendor 19 logic by doc change badi
so whenever REQUESTIONER assign a preffered vendor it can create a Purchase order.
Assigning source of supply decision is very critical to business . Business wants always it should be competetive best price.
Hope you understand ..

More DECIMAL places for MM price-Not Global

I have read the <u>many</u> postings on decimals. However, I have not seen the exact scenario I'm inquiring about.
I want to increase the decimal places from 2 to 4 for the cost of materials we purchase (i.e. supplier price), but I do NOT want to set this as a global aspect for the company when dealing with numbers/currency.
It's not just a simple matter of setting a different unit of measure, because let's say we order a reel of capacitors - the reel may come in qty of 1,000 or 2,500 (only one example). So, we really need to set price by (ea). The problem is that many of our parts price at .0014 (example) and in SAP that shows a cost or price [depending on where you're looking] of zero. Plus, the Purchasing agent sends a PO with incorrect price information.
<b>It would be very helpful if anyone could tell me how to increase the number of decimal places for specific fields as opposed to globally.</b>
Thanks you!!

The right tool to do that is the pice unit. This is in the system for ecatly that purpose, to provide more precision in prices. It has nothing to do with unitz of measure that is used for logistical purposes.
If you have a price 0f 0.0014 each you can set a price unit of 1000 and will have a price of 1.40 for 1000. You still can have only 500 or even 1 on stock. the calculation done if you receive your 2500 will be 2500 * 1,40 / 1000 which is of course the same as 2500 * 0,0014

Tweaking product prices on a large scale - how?

My Client has a software store on BC. His supplier is constantly changing their prices and my client wants to be able to quickly review prices, make changes to reflect supplier prices every few days
If I export the Product List the Excel export is unusable with it full of HTML markup from the product descriptions.
Apart from opening each product individually to check and tweak prices how is everyone ammending prices on a large scale.... My client only has 60 products at the moment but this is soon to quadruple and I have prospective clients looking at BC for their ecommerce solution and they have thousands of items.
Regards
Richard

If its just prices you want to input, see if you can just eliminate all the other columns that are not needed and only import the price column with its product identifier ofcourse, and see if it will just update the price and not have to deal with the descriptions...Just a thought...

DTW PO Import Item price incorrectly set

Hi,
I am facing two issues in PO imports.
1. Lets say Item price is set to $10 in the Supplier Price List.
    I want to import PO with the Price set to $5.
   I set Unit Price = 5, Quantity =10 and The Purchase Order created is with Price $10 picked up from Price List i.e. Line Total = $100 instead of $50
Then I supply more information:
I additionally supply Line total to be $50
This time Unit Price =10, Price after discount = 5, Linetotal = 50. Now the line total is correct but Discount is 50% which is not correct.
2. If I can sort out above issue with your help, How can I modify PO Lines with DTW. I tried but it does not allow.
Any response would bee much appreciated.
Regards
Devinder

Hi Suda,

Header fields:

I am using SAP 2007A Pl35 AU localization and the said field in general setting has been taken off by SAP in 2007A (to the best of my knowledge)

How to close a partially received PO

Hi;
we are working in oracle applications 11i. In Oracle Purchasing we have a PO that is partially received in Oracle Inventory, and the user decided to close due to price changes from the supplier.
Any ideas, please?
Thank you...

I think there is no need to close this po in case of acceptance of the supplier price changes from your side, you can use PRICE VARIANCE on Oracle Payable , so that you can receive the changed price partial shipment in this way

Details of Backend PO not available in SC (Only able to see PO Number)

Dear Experts,
We are working in SRM 7.0 Classic Scenario with MDM Catalogs.
When we create SC and after approval the PO is getting transfered to Backend system and the item status ia also updated that is with PO number.
But when we click on the highlighted link of PO in the related documents tab the informations related to the backend PO such as material, quantity, delivery date and etc are blank.
Is there any reports available like BBP_GETSTATUS_2 / CLEAN_REQREQ_UP to update the backend PO details in the highlighted link of PO in related documents tab.
Kindly reply how to fix this issue.
Regards,
B.N.Karthikeyan.

Hi Muthu,
Let me explain the scenario.
User raises SC with out price and Supplier, which goes for sourcing there Surcing guy process the SC and creates PO directly.
SC related document tab reflects the PO number and not the Supplier, Price and also user does not have any ECC backend access.
When he clicks on Purchase Order highlighted in History tab of SRM SC it opens a pop up "Backend PO details" where it has all the fiels susch as Material, quantity, delivery date, Supplier, Price.
In my case those fiels are empty only the PO number is visible in the POP UP.
Muthu let me send the screen shot to ur mail
Also as per my understanding those details should be available for the user i this option, may be some report or config missing.
Please help on this regard.
Regards,
B.N.Karthikeyan.
