Transfer GR Time in purchase order to APO

Hi all
We have the issue that the GR-time in a purchase order sometimes is changed manually and therefore APO should not read the GR time from the product master but always from the purchase order.
Is there anyway (BAPI, modification, etc.) to transfer the GR time of a purchase order (EKPO-WEBAZ) to APO? We run ECC 6.0, SCM 4.1.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Dan Bruun

Hi,
Please check OSS note 565972 - FAQ : External procurment in PP/DS.
It says " in APO Release 4.0 , it is possible to transfer the GR time from a contract, but the function of the maintenance directly in the purchase order is not availble here either"....
Please check if the enhancement CIFPUR01: Enhancement for Transferring Customer-Specific Purchase Order Fields (SAP R/3 >> SAP APO) can be used.
OSS note 333386 (Availablity date different in APO and R/3) , says that "In APO the goods processing time can only be maintained on the product master".

Times on Purchase Orders in APO or R/3

Hi Gurus -
We have a production schedule for finished goods and semi finished goods in APO.
The planned orders(production schedule) are then used in R/3 PP MRP for raw materials planning.
For some of the raw materials, the storage space in the factory is limited due to some constraints and hence multiple shipments have to be scheduled each day. These could be for the same ingredient or different ingredients depending on the product mix. For example, first truck at 6 AM, second at 2 PM and the third at 10 PM. The timing of these trucks has to be in sync with the APO production schedule.
Right now since MRP can only go the daily bucket level, the MRP run creates a single Purchase Requisition per day which is then converted into a Purchase Order. They also have to manually enter all the exact timing detail of the purchase orders before putting it up for all of the factory to see and also call the vendor and tell them about what times they have to be delivered. Is there any way to automate this?
The desired output is a Purchase Requisition with times on it( one at 6 AM, 2 PM and 10 PM) which are in sync with the planned orders in APO, which can then be converted into Purchase Orders
Can you please let me know what is the best way to do this?
I was thinking about actually sending these special raw materials into APO and plan them in APO using the PPDS heuristic, that way the purchase requisitions actually have the times on it. The vendors are not modeled in APO but my assumption is when these Purchase requisitions flow through into R/3, they would read the vendor list and pick up the vendor.
Is there any functionality with R/3 MRP to create Preqs by time? I have also asked this question in the PP forum since this question deals with both the systems.
Regards
Varun

Hi Shailaja,
If this approval is done through ESS, the Time administrator needs to manually transfer the approved data to IT2001 Using RPTARQPOST program.
Also, check the scenario in 'PTARQ' transaction.
If this helps, pl do reward.
Thanks

Requirement node of Purchase Order in APO

Hi all,
I am testing a scenario.
Locations A(source) and B(target) are in same APO system but different R/3 systems.
I create a Purchase Req for a material on location B in APO. I can see the requirement and receipt nodes in Purchase requisition. Then, I trigger the conversion of PR to PO in APO or R/3. After conversion, the demand associated with the PO created does not appear on source location, it only appears on target location. is this normal? I searched OSS messages but I could not find a relevant one.
I created the corresponding entries in sapapo/locali transaction. I assigned source plant to vendor number and target plant to customer number.
I would appreciate if you can help.
Thanks,
Jenny

Hi,
I was in one of support project where this scenaio was working.
Here if you want to transfer demand at source location in ECC/R/3 when stock transfer requisition is created you can transfer the same as PIR by running backround job to transfer demand.
When you convert stock transfer requisition to purchase order in APO Purchase order gets transfered at receiving location only through APO. This Purchase order in ECC receiving location can trigger automatic sales order creation at supplying location through ALE/IDOC. This in turn gets transfered to APO. In APO as such there is no link between Purchase order at receiving location and sales order in supplying location. This link is there in ECC.
For automatic creation of sales order currosponding to purchase order certain settings are required to be done in ECC side. APO doesnot play any role in this.
For detail configuration setting you can check documentation in this link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/b3/d20c3c8cd2593ce10000000a114084/frameset.htm.
Hope this helps.

Can you convert Purchase Requisition into Purchase Orders on APO.

Hello all,
Can you convert Purchase Requisition into Purchase Orders on APO. Does Standard APO functionality provides you the capability.
Regards
Najam

APO is meant only for Planning and no execution is done. Execution is done only in R/3. You can set the conversion indicator for the conversion of Preqs to POs however the conversion happens only in R/3. Based on the Publication settings and the transfer settings maintained you can publish the Preqs immediately to R/3 and get it converted to POs

Delete Purchase orders in APO Database

We have some purchase orders in APO that we cannot delete from the database.
When we run WUF for a specific material we can see that we have two ATP orders for the material. When we check the orders in R/3 we can see that the orders are deleted purchase orders. In APO we would like to delete these orders properly as we need to delete the material.
We have tried to do this by running the following programs:
/SAPAPO/SDORDER_DEL
SAPAPO/DELETE_PP_ORDER
/SAPAPO/RLCDELETE
We have also tried to run a comparison (TCODE: /SAPAPO/CCR) but no inconsistencies were found.
None of this has deleted the two purchase order from the data base.
Does anybody know how we can delete these orders?
BR Trine

First of all you need to understand if these orders were:
- created in APO
- CIFed from R/3
APO: in this case only /SAPAPO/RLCDEL can help you. You can also try /SAPAPO/DELETE_PP_ORDER. I've never had any issues when deleting APO-orders. This shouldn't be a problem.
R/3: in this case you should be able to fix issues via /SAPAPO/CCR. When using this report remember that it compares APO and R/3 ONLY in case material/location exists in integration model. In case you checked integration model and it's OK and /SAPAPO/CCR still not able to find the problem then you can use /SAPAPO/DELETE_PP_ORDER. But when using it together with purchase order you need to slightly modify contents of internal variables.
Report /SAPAPO/DELETE_PP_ORDER, rows 373 - 384
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        lv_tabix = sy-tabix.
      nur im Expertenmodus k³nnen umgesetzte Auftrôge gel³scht werden
        IF lv_execu = gc_true
        AND ( TO lt_ordkey_no_del.
          DELETE lt_ordkey INDEX lv_tabix.
        ENDIF.
      ENDIF.
Here you should set lv_execu to TRUE ('X') and then it is able to delete purchase order. DO IT ONLY IF YOU UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES

No Matching Record Found 'CRD1' at the time of Purchase Order Creation

Hi !
I have transferred business partners record through DTW 2005.0.17 in SAP B1. Now when I go to make purchase order, at the time of selecting business partner, It gives error msg. No matching record found 'CRD1'. I have checked the table CRD1, there the data exists. And when i modify business partner's address through business partner form, the problem is solved. I am not able to trace which value i am missing at the time of data transfer.
can anyone help?

I have imported the Business Partner Main template & Business partner Address template. Is it neccassary to import all other templates i.e. BPNankAccount,BPPaymentDate,BPPaymentMethod,ContactEmployees

Is there any method to stop rescheduling of the PO Need By date from ATP if there is any holiday specified in shipping calender. The requirement is to update the schedule ship date on Sales Order but the lead time of Purchase Order should not increase

We are currently not able to manage schedule ship date proposed by ATP when our warehouse is closed. For example , we would like that ATP doesn't propose any schedule ship date for the first of May , which is a non working day in France. The constraint is that we don't want our purchase need by date to be impacted by the process.
I tried to closed one day in FR1 calendar and, after testing with order management, it appears that ATP didn't propose the closed day, so that's fine, but, our purchase order lead time was increased of 1 day and this is not what we expected.
Can you help us to find the right process.
Thanks

Lead time on purchase order

Hi all
For ordering spare parts, could you please confirm from where the lead time is picked up on the order ?
From the PIR or the material master ?
Thanks in advance!

It should take from the info record in case you are creating a PO.
for PR from MRP it comes from the Material master.
so for PO , Info record will be given first priority and If info record is not there then it will take from material master.
So calculation will be
Leadtime (Info record/ Mat.master) + GR processing time + Purchase processing time = Delivery date
Lead time is in calender days. GR processing time and Purchase processing time are working days.

Release date and time for Purchase order

Hi Masters,
Could you please let me know that in which table the release date ane time will get stored for purchase order.
Regards,
Panneer

Hi,
You can find out from CDHDR & CDPOS table.
Select Date Time from CDHDR table & Join with CDPOS table where CDHDR-OBJECTCLAS = EINKBELEG and CDHDR-OBJECTID = PO number and CDPOS-TABNAME = 'EKKO' and CDPOS-FNAME = FRGZU and CDPOS-VALUE_NEW = 'X'.
You will get the date time from CDHDR table.

Hi,
For your requirement only for viewing the data I suggest you to go for below options
1) In mtrl master itself there is one option Inspection text, here u can maintain the main values so thst during PO
you can refer these values (To find this click on aditional data tab in mtrl master and inspection long text)
2) Prepare one report by fetching all the inspection values from below tables so that u can aslo refer this report
   PLKO Inspection plan Header
   MAPL Material Assignement
   PLPO Operation Details
   PLMK Inspection plan characteristics
   PLMW MAPL-Dependent Charac. Specifications (Inspection Plan)

Time collection & Purchase Order

Dear all,
Here is my flow:
1) Service Sheet creation (in hours)
2) PO creation with the service (qty of hours and hour rate)
3) I collect my time against the PO
4) I run CATM in order to valuate my hours with PO rate
5) the service entry sheet is automatically created
Here is my problem:
I want to collect working time (to be valuated > no problem) and non working time (not to be valuated > problem)
How to create an item in my PO that will not be valuated?
I tried an item valuated at 0 > impossible.
I tried to tick the GR-receipt non valuated > my service entry sheet is created at 0 but when I want to bill it the PO rate is taken into account
Any other idea?
Thank you all
Best Regards,
C.

I think you posted in a wrong forum. This is 'Sales and Distribution', not purchasing and time collection...

Lead time for Purchase Orders and Goods R. (EKBE-EKET)

Hi all,
has anyone already implemented a logic for calculating
the lead time between delivery date (EKET-EINDT) and the
goods receipt date (EKBE-BUDAT) for extraction to BW?
I have the problem, that i have more than one schedule line. There you cant link the GR (EKBE) to the relevant schedule line (EKET). How can i implement the FIFO solution (FirstinFirstout)?
Example:
EKET
DocNr_Pos__ETENR__Quantity____EINDT
6700___10__1_______100________20060601
6700___10__2_______300________20060701
EKBE
DocNr_Pos__Nr__Quantity__Budat
6700___10__1_____200_____20060603
6700___10__2_____200_____20060702
Result should be:
DocNr_Pos_ETENR__Quantity__Deliverydate__ZBUDAT(from ekbe)
6700___10__1_______100________20060601___20060603
6700___10__2_______300________20060701___20060702
20060702 therefor because the the full quantity arrived at
this date.
Thank you very much for your help or any codings, best regards
Frank

HI Horny,
Can you use the Following Tables:
S039 - > LETZTABG - Date: last (i.e. most recent) goods issue
EKPO -> EBELN - Purchasing Document Number.
You can create View by using these two tables (Material Number is the Common) and uploade the data.
Hope this will be helpful for your question.
Thanks
