  • Entering time sheet for external service employee

    Hi all,
    My scenario is,
    I created a external service for my network in the project. PR has been created. I've converted the PR into PO(Service) and then i maintained a HR master and assign the PO details. But when i try to enter the time sheet for that employee i couldn't.Anyone can explain the process flow for this scenario please.
    Thanks

    Once you create external service PO, the same should have been assigned to HR master. Try to create as group so that time entry can be done conveniently.
    Check the below links. I guess, you are using CAT time entry transaction to create Service entry sheet. Use CATM transaction to create time entry.

  • Advantage of using External service mgt

    Dear All,
    Can any one tell me, what is the advantage of using service master(external service mgt) over creating service as a material in material type DIEN?
    Your input will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    sahu

    Hello, Sahu
    Before explaining the advantages of ESM, i want to clarify you about the DIEN (which is a standard material type for SERVICES)
    Material type DIEN is for Services
    Services can be performed internally or procured externally (outsourced). They cannot be stored or transported.
    Services can be
    -> Construction Services (like Centring, Shuttering) work
    -> Cleaning services (House keeping)
    -> Tax Consulting (Taxation for finance matters to company)
    Suggestion: You can create service master for the above mentioned services using the DIEN material type. But as we know that services CAN NOT BE STORED or Transported physically. Because Service (it's just a text which indicated what service to be performed by the vendor /external supplier, that you will be mentioning in PO when you create service PO) can only be measured through PERFORMANCE (i.e, through Activity based, i mean depending upon the ACTIVITY).
    That is Activity based Services can only be recorded, maintained and measured (i.e, Performances for each different activity) accurately through ESM.
    like, Service master record
    Standard service catalog,
    Service PO,
    Service Entry sheet.
    And the Purpose and Advantages of the ESM is as follows:
    This section provides a general introduction to MM External Services Management.
    It provides an overview of the functionality, shows how MM External Services Management is integrated into the Purchasing application within the Materials Management module, and indicates the interfaces to other applications.
    Purpose
    MM External Services Management (MM SRV) is an application component within the Materials Management (MM) module. It supports the complete cycle of bid invitation, award/order placement phase, and acceptance of services, as well as the invoice verification process.
    Features
    MM External Services Management provides a basic process for the procurement of externally performed services. This basic process comprises the following functionality:
    Service master records, in which descriptions of all services that may need to be procured can be stored. In addition, a standard service catalog and model service specifications are available.
    A separate set of service specifications can be created for each concrete procurement project in the desired document (e.g. PM maintenance plan or maintenance order; PS network; MM purchase requisition, RFQ, contract, purchase order, or service entry sheet).
    Service specifications can include items representing materials in addition to those representing services or activities.
    When creating voluminous sets of service specifications, you need not laboriously enter each individual service manually. Instead, you can make use of the referencing technique and the selection function to copy quickly and simply from existing master data and documents.
    MM External Services Management offers two basic ways of specifying services:
    As planned services with description, quantity, and price.
    By "planned services" we mean services whose nature and scope is known to you at the start of a procurement project or transaction.
    At the time the services are requested, the individual specifications are entered either with the aid of a service master record or directly as short and long texts. Price and quantity are specified in both cases.
    As unplanned services with the setting of a value limit only.
    By unplanned services, we mean services that cannot be specified in detail because their precise nature and scope are not initially known, or services which - for various reasons - you do not wish to plan. Unplanned services therefore have no descriptions.
    They are entered in the form of monetary limits. Services may be performed up to a value not exceeding these value limits. This allows you to exercise a degree of cost control in such situations.
    You can analyze data already available in the system in order to find suitable sources of supply for certain services.
    You can also carry out a bid invitation process and evaluate the bids submitted in response using the price comparison list function. You can then award a contract to (or place an order with) the desired vendor.
    During the phase of service performance (execution of work), various lists and totals displays enable you to retain an up-to-date overview of your service specifications, the progress of the work, and the costs being incurred.
    You can record the performance of services or work in service entry sheets.
    You can indicate your acceptance of the work set out in the entry sheets in various ways.
    Following acceptance, the vendor’s invoice can be verified and released for payment.
    As an alternative to this basic process, various accelerated and simplified processes are made available to you for use if desired in connection with specific procurement transactions.
    Integration
    MM External Services Management is completely integrated into the Materials Management system. The master data for the procurement of services can be stored in service master records, for example, which subsequently provide default data for the purchasing documents. Service specifications for a concrete procurement project are not created and processed separately each time (e.g. as bid invitation or contract specifications), but entered directly in the purchasing documents (e.g. in a request for quotation, quotation, purchase order or contract).
    The following graphic demonstrates the degree of integration of MM External Services Management:
    The External Services Management component is linked to the SAP modules PM Plant Maintenance and PS Project System. As a result, it is possible to create purchase requisitions for external services within the framework of maintenance measures or a project and then transmit them to Purchasing without incurring additional data maintenance work.
    The interaction of the R/3 modules MM, PS and PM, CO and FI saves time and effort and reduces the frequency of errors. This is because data need be entered once only, after which it is available for all follow-on activities within a business process.
    An example of the integration of MM and CO is purchase order commitments. The expected value of unplanned services is forwarded to CO from within MM so that a commitment figure can be established and monitored. This enables the relevant budget for procurement measures to be prepared in good time.

  • External Services Management and HR Time recording

    Hi all,
    On the Service Master is a "wage Type" field and on the service lines in the PO and Service entry sheet a Personnel number with date/time entry fields.   Is the purpose to record "internal" personnel's time as part of an external services provided and can this in some or other way be transferred to the HR module to pick it up per personnel number?
    We have the requirement under South African law, to print certain tax certificates for labour brokers and saw the wage type and personnel number fields, but can't find ANY documentation on it!  
    I would really appreciate any help!

  • MM-External service management pricing configuration

    Hello Experts,
    I am working with MM-External service management, and am facing an issue in Pricing during creation of SES (ML81N).
    I have modified the standard Access sequence 0010 (Performance conditions) by inserting Table 104 to row 15.
    The Condition table 104 has field KOMP-SRVPOS i.e. Activity Number.
    The Contract (ME33K) has a service included with a Service No. 40000000 as shown below with a Gross price as 1/- .  The said service is created in AC03.
    A condition record is created against the Activity No 40000000 in transaction ML45 (Condition Typ: PRS) as shown below:
    While creating SES for a Release order of the said contract for service No. 40000000, the expected result is that in the Access Sequence Row 15 would be executed and the condition record maintained in ML45 (14/-) would be picked up.
    However, the access 15 does not get executed as the Activity No. field is not filled. It appears that the KOMP structure is not populated with SRVPOS under above circumstance. Error message 102- “Access not made (initialized field)”.
    Instead the access in Row 20 is executed and Contract rate of 1/- is picked up.
    In another scenario, SES is created on a contract where the said service no. (40000000) is NOT included in the service lines. Here during Pricing the Access 15 is successfully made:
    What is reason for this behavior? As per requirement, many contracts share the same services and their price is uniform across
    all contracts. Hence instead of the contract specific condition, the Cnd record maintained against Activity Number is required to be picked up. This makes sense because these prices change periodically and hence rate Maintenance is easier if only rate against single Activity number is to be changed rather than prices in all individual contracts.
    Please guide.

    Hi,
    Instead of modifying the standard Access sequence , you can create  New Access sequence for service but you need to add field SRVPOS for Activity Number in the following path:
    SPRO --> MM --> Purchasing -- > Conditions --> Define Price Determination Process --> Extend Field Catalog for Condition Tables
    Now create a new condition table as 977 with  Service master or Activity number and then create New Access sequence as ZSER assign table 977and save.  You can create your new service condition type as ZSER and assign New Access sequence ZSER  to it.
    For to have service condition pricing in service order/purchase order, you can use routine 11 in Requirement column for service condition type ZSER in Requirement column in MM calculation schema/MM Pricing Procedure. Different pricing for service and production
    You should decide which condition price you want in service PO---- price from condition record or from service contract.

  • PM Module (External Service Management)

    Dear All,
    I am implementing PM module in my firm and need some help regarding External Service management.
    Also i have created a module for gate pass for materials sending outside for repairing and have linked the material & quatity to Service description in the service PR.
    Please guide in case if the material sending outside require some expensive material to be put up i.e. in case of Rubber Roll Recoating....In this case what type of PR is to be generated ideally, a Service PR with Acct asst K & item catagory D or only acct asst K.
    In PM module while creating a External Service Order a PR is automatically generated as Acct,. asst 'F' & Item Category 'D'.

    Hi,
    it is up to you to decide what you gonna use.
    Combination F/D will create a PR with reference to the maintenance order(F) and you will order a Service (D). That means if you receive the material again you need to make a serice entry (transaction ml81n). The costs for the repair will be charged to the order. But there is so far no material movement.
    Or you choose a PR with F (Blank) and decide in the PR if it's gonna be subcontracting. If you get the material back you make a GR. The cost for the returns go to the order and the material will be valuated with the costs of the repairs.
    There are for sure more possibilities, from just making the goods movements to showing the costs.
    Therefore you need to decide what you wanna achieve.
    Regards, Paul.

  • External service management

    hello,
    i am working for construction industry. This is   regarding unplanned external service procured by client.
    They get external service from labour contactors for ex: colouring the wall, plastering the wall etc. which are purely unplanned.They can allot some budget for the service but their are not sure about Quantities.
    When i enter this service PO and service entry sheet its by  defualt asking for quantity.
    is their a way to configure service entry only for net price not quantity? so that my problem will be solved.
    point assured for providing good solutions.

    hello all,
    its asking for quanity in PO, Line item entry of service in PO and service entry sheet also.
    SES is automatically taking quantity from PO,if i try to change the quanity in  SES  the error message Quantity is higher then PO is poping up.
    in my case if i procure service for painting, i am not sure about the days or area. only i know some value.
    is their any setting so that the quantity will become optional or hideout.
    i am not able to complete because of above problem.
