Update purchasing group in scheduling agreements

Hi gurus,
I'm trying to update purchasing group field in scheduling agreements, which are time-independent (EKKO-STAKO = ' ').
In my environment, I'm not authorized to use CALL TRANSACTION statement.
If possible, I'd need a way that works both in 4.6c and 6.0 versions.
I have tried several options, but none works:
-BAPI_SAG_CHANGE: "Scheduling agreements with time-independent conditions are not supported" (OSS note 1046794) (Also, this is not available in 4.6c)
-BAPI_SCHEDULE_MAINTAIN: "Scheduling agreements with time-independent conditions are not supported" (OSS note 1046794) (Also, this is not available in 4.6c)
-BAPI_AGREEMENT_MAINTAIN: Does not have the possibility to change field 'purchasing group'. (Moreover, it internally performs a CALL TRANSACTION).
-ME_UPDATE_AGREEMENT_PO: I've been not able to change field 'purchasing group'.
I'd be grateful about any hint. Thanks in advance!

In case it is useful for anyone else, I have solved the problem using:
CALL FUNCTION 'ME_UPDATE_DOCUMENT'
Thanks anyway!

Update Purchasing group in MM42

Hi,
I have requirement to update purchasing group for article master in basic view and purchasing view.
I did have look at IDOC ARTMAS and BAPI BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT.They have purchasing group
field but it seems for basic view not purchasing view as they don't have any field for vendor.
Is there any f.M or bapi or idoc to update data in purchasing view.
Thanks,
Rekha.

Hi Narendra,
BAPI_MAINTAINDATA_RT will upload purchasing group in mm42 but it will be in basic view.If we want to upload purchasing group for vendors in purchasing view then we don't have any field related to this in the BAPI.

Change material freight group in scheduling agreement

Hello,
whenever we create a scheduling agreement (VA31/VA32), we can change the field "Mat. freight grp" on the Shipping tab on item level.
After the first delivery, this field grays out and we are not able to change it anymore. Is there a way to change the field after the first delivery?
Thanks
Anne

Hi, Jürgen / Muthuraman
What is the reason behind this? Change of material group in material master and the new maerial group is not being updated in the existing contract/Schedule agreement?
Appreciate if you can enlighten this in detail. Thanks in advance.

Problem updating Volume in Sales Scheduling Agreement

Hi gurus,
we have problem with Sales Scheduling Agreement. It's about volume of material. First, I create a Scheduling Agreement for material A, what is 100 CCM of volume in its register master material. I create several forecast delivery schedule. After, I modify by other reasons the volume of material A in master material to 200 CCM. What is the problem? The problem is when system creates the deliveries for Scheduling Agreement, the packaging is did in base 100 CCM of volume and not is for 200 CCM.
Besides of this, after if modify volume in master material I will add new forecast delivery schedules, the volume is calculated based in old volume factor: 100 CCM.
We don't understand this behaviour in system.
Thank you!!!!

Hi,
The reason is, the link of updating automatically from material master data to sales SA is broken!
You should double check the volume at item level in Sales SA, enter the sales SA, select menu>Goto>Item-->Shipping, see the value of field "Volume", whether it's 200 CCM, or not? I think it should still be 100 CCM, change it to 200 CCM, that will be okay!
Good luck

Purchasing contract or scheduling agreement business flow

Hi everyone!
My user asked me if it is possible to use contract or scheduling agreement instead of purchase order for blanket order? (Bulk order, but staggered delivery throughout the year, upon an agreed price).
I know that SAP have contract and scheduling agreement functions but as far as I am aware, we still have to create PO refer to scheduling agreement or contract. I also noticed that in MIGO and MIRO, both the reference document happens to be purchase order. So, how are my users going to do the MIRO and MIGO for scheduling agreement?
Is there anything I can do in config to allow users to do MIGO and MIRO with reference to scheduling agreement instead of purchase order?
Thank you in advance.
Anisah

You can use SA docuemnt to do MIGO and MIRO as SAP standard process.
Create the SA document and schedule line for the SA document and the you can go MIGO.

Difference between Purchase Order and Scheduling Agreement

Can any one explain the main differences between a Purchase Order and a Scheduling Agreement?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
A Purchase Order is a document that is given to Vendor to indicate our intention to buy goods from them. It contains what is the desired goods, how much quantity, price, and the delivery date, among other things.
A standard procurement cycle for this is:
PR --> PO --> GR --> IV
A Scheduling Agreement however, is a type of an Outline Agreement. Outline Agreements are divided into 2, first one is Contracts and second is Scheduling Agreement. So this is basically a long term agreement with a particular vendor that contains details on what is the desired goods, quantity, and the exact delivery dates.
A standard cycle for this is:
PR --> Create Scheduling Agreement --> Maintain Delivery Schedule (agreed dates on when vendor will send the goods and time) --> GR --> IV
As you can see, for Scheduling Agreement, PO is not required, but instead we would need to Maintain Delivery Schedule.
Just to share on Contracts, it appears as below:
PR --> Contract Creation --> PO --> GR --> IV

Auto Update of conditions in Scheduling Agreement

Dear experts,
i have a requirement like this..
when we create a scheduling agreement ...we enter material,vendor,target qty and validity date ,price and enter tax code.
After that we maintain condition types Vendor, material and Plant level....
So in the same scheduling agreement we are adding one more material and giving same tax code.....Is there any possibility,so that system should copy condition types when we choose this tax code....rather than entering again and again for each material....
Please do reply me...
Thanks and Regards
MK

Hi MK,
Are you asking about pricing conditions or tax conditions?
Tax conditions flow auto when you enter tax code
Whereas pricing conditions if those are manual conditions have to be maintained
manually
for conditions to flow automatically you have to customize the condition type for "changes can be made" with manual entries indicator as B
and maintain the condition record

Modification in MEDRUCK for purchase order, RFQ, scheduling agreement.....

Hi all
I have requirment in which i have to modify standard script MEDRUCK for PO, RFQ, SCHEDULING AGREEMENT, AND QUANTITY CHART.
I know how to modify standard layouts but after modifying layouts what to do next??
How can i use same medruck script for RFQ, SCHEDULING AGREE, AND QUANTITY CONTRACT.
help me out!!!!!!!!!!

hai manisha,
Actually SAP Clubbed all the requriments And Made one FORM for one bussiness scenario.
So Depending On The Transaction That We Are Running System Will Automatically Triggers Particular Type.
So Take A Copy Of Medruck For Each Document That U have To Do.
Then Run Respective Transactions Then According to that configure NACE.
In NACE transaction, We will assign the Form name and the driver program name and the corresponding routine to be triggered in the driver program.
We should be able to tell the system to pick up the desired form layout and trigger the routine and get the data from the database and put it on to the form. All these stuff the system will come to know from the NACE settings.
NACE is used to create output type while creating the output type you will mention forms, and driver program.
that will be maintained in the table TNAPR.if you create the output type using NACE then it will be automatically visible in table NAST and TNAPR.
so check in NAST, TNAPR table
You can view all forms and driver programs for standard SAP Scripts.
Assigning Form and Driver proram to an Output type is as follows.
1) Go to NACE transaction
2) Select an Applicatin(V1-Sales,V2-Shipping,V3-Billing)
3) Click on Outputtypes Button
4) Comes to Change Mode
5) Click on New Entries button
6) Specify Output type,Form name and Program and Save it.

Update Purchasing group directly in production system

Hi,
We keep getting purchasing group changes requests and we follow conventional approach, configure in development - move to Quality and then to Production.
Since we have high number of requests, we are exploring the direct maintenance in Production system. Please advise on the best approach to this.
thanks
Mahesh

there is an alternative missing.
you can change a customizing activity to be a master data activity, and you do not need to have the PRODuction system open for customizing..
this is explained in OSS Note 135028 - Transfer IMG activity to current setting
However, I have made my experience in the past as I joined my current employer. In this system the purchasing groups were maintained in production system, which I did not know, and some key user did not know too, as they asked me to add a new purchasing group. I did this in the development system and transported to prouction.
And it happened, that I added a purchasing group in developement that was already accopied in production, so the entry in production got overwritten with my transport. so for a couple of days 2 buyers worked with the same purchasing group, they did not even realize it, as nobody is really looking at a PO form if a system is live for many years. This caused some trouble with statistics and as well with communications between vendors and us.
a second experience was made by the fact that people had deleted purchasing groups, after buyers had left the company. But SAP validates the existing of purchasing groups when archiving purchase orders. So I had to recreate all deleted purchasing groups before I could continue with archving.
I think that this experience is reason enough to not give this customizing activity into user hands.

Scheduling agreement update with Info record

Hi,
My company is working with scheduling agreement both with external vendors and Inter company purchasing. SA is created for a long term (in years) but the price negotiation takes place for a shot duration (One year or less). The requirement is that whenever the Purchase Info record is updated (by department X), it should automatically update the relevant SA (created/updated by department Y). Any delivery schedule created after new effective PIR price, should have the new price and if there is no price in PIR for that date it should throw an error...
Thanks is advance
Manu

Hi..
Can anyone tell me the user exit that I can use to update price in related scheduling agreements when any purchase info record is changed...
and another to check purchase info record at the time of delivery schedule creation to see if any valid purchase info record exists ..

Price update in Scheduling Agreement

Dear Gurus,
I am seeking valuable suggestions reg the price update in scheduling agreement.
I am aware of the fact the the same can be done in the below mentioned ways-
1) Manually
2) Through condition records
I would be seeking the best possible option to the update the price in scheduling agreements, options would be
1) Manually @ item level
2) Changing condition records ( VK12) with same validity period
3) Changing condition records ( Vk12) with new validity period ( closing the old validity period)
This is because to avoid any inconsistency in the future.
Regards,
Ajit

Dear Ajit,
1.Manual entry -
Manual entry will be applicable in only some cases and you cant able to track if some one has changed the price and it is having limitation .
2.through condition records-
where as if you maintain the price through the access sequence and user cant able to change the price manually and for different combination and different material you can maintain different prices .here there is no limitation and you can extend this price for different combination in future .
Based on the above points you take decision.
Regards,
C.B Reddy

IDOC: MM purchase order to SD scheduling agreement

Dear experts,
Is below scenario technically feasible?
- Purchase order created in customer system, and sent to vendor system via IDOC
- Scheduling Agreement created in vendor system against the received IDOC
- Goods issue posted for delivery schedule of Scheduling Agreement, and sent to customer system via IDOC as Shipping Notification
- Inbound Delivery created for purchase order in customer system against the received IDOC.
- Billing created in vendor system and sent to customer system via IDOC
- Invoice verification created in customer system against the received IDOC.
The scenario is obviously feasible between Purchase Order-Sales Order, but I'm not sure whether it will work with Purchase Order- SD Scheduling Agreement or not. According to SAP Help, it seems that only MM Scheduling Agreement can work SD Scheduling Agreement.
Thanks a lot,
Duc.
