Vendor article number copying from Generic to follow-up Variants in ME21/22

Dear experts,
When creating or changing a Purchase Order, we want to be able to change the Vendor Article Number (EINA-IDNLF) on the Generic article (in the sub-screen Item detail > Article Data tab) and have the Variant items adopting the changed Vendor Article Number.
This works for the PREPACK and subsequent materials but not for the Generic / Variant articles ?
In both cases the Generic or Prepack top articles have the field VENDOR ARTICLE NUMBER editable and not the subsequent articles (variants or elements of the pre-pack).
Please let me know if there is a configuration in VARIANTS or in MM-PURCHASING that could allow the replication of updated Vendor Article Number in Purchase Order Creation or Change.
Sincerely,
Richard

RE: where can I maintain Vendor Article number

HI,
In SD, I can maintained the customer article number.
In MM, where can I maintain the vendor article number.
There is a field in Purchase info record.
Beside here, where else can I set it up?
Thanks
Bye

Dear Colin,
The vendor article number can be maintained either in info.record OR the purhcase order. In the info.record, you can find this in vendor data tab under General data. On the other hand in the purhcase order, you can find the same field in the material data tab in the "item details" section.
If you maintain the vendor article number in the info.record, then it is copied to the purchase order automatically.

I just checked ME1M and I'm able to see Vendor Material number there in the selection criteria (IDNLF).

Automation of batch number copy from RESB to AFPO using COR2/COR5

Dear exports,
As subject, I need to copy batch number from RESB-CHARG to AFPO-CHARG AUTOMATICALLY.
I made enhancement in user exit ZXVBZU02. It works manually when click "create button" under tab "Goods recpt" in transaction COR2 after batch number determination (assign value to RESB-CHARG first).
For automation, I'd like to do copy by either RELEASE (in COR2 or COR5) or SAVE (in COR2) this process order instead of clicking "create button".
I found an BAdI WORKORDER_UPDATE, and put break-points in method AT_SAVE, AT_RELEASE, IN_UPDATE. But somehow it's NOT stopped.
I think I may pick the wrong BADI, or no such solution.
Your help is most welcome.
Thanks alot.
Steven
Edited by: Steven Zhang on Oct 29, 2008 10:48 AM

YES, badi is active. Also the break-point was placed in before_update (actually, I prefer at_release). It's bypass all those methods.
Now I am suspecting whether this is the right BADI. From naming, it looks it is. But as we knew there is a tool (useful report), it can report all enhancements (including user exit and BADI) according to transaction. The badi WORKORDER_UPDATE is not listed in both COR2 and COR5.
How? pls throw a light on this.:(
By the way, I'm using ECC6.

Preferred vendor not being copied from the selection list of F4 --- Shop

Hi SRM Gurus,
When we are creating a shopping cart with the sources of supply, preferred list of vendors is displayed when we click the icon next to the preferred vendor in the browser. Source of supply, F4 in GUI also gives a list of vendors but if we select the vendor name, it is not being copied.
Else, if we type the business partner number in the tab, it gets selected.
Can anyone faced the similar type of problem?
Kindly suggest.
Earliest reply will be highly appreciated with points.
Sincerely,
Sridhar.

Hi Yann,
Thanks for your reply.
I checked though. My problem is little different as I can see the list of vendors and also if I type the BP id of the particular vendor in the preferred vendor tab it works. Only I cannot doubleclick the vendors name and select it to the preferredvendor tab.
Also once selected I dont have any issues in creating the PO and the complete cycle.
Any other suggestions.
Sincerely,
Sridhar.

I have a long article I copied from Safari. I want to paste it in pages and save as document. Every time I try to do that, only what fits on one page of Pages appears. How do I copy the whole document? It would fit in five or six Pages pages.

How do I copy a long page from Safari as a document in Pages? When I try to do it, I'm only able to get what fits in one Pages page. It would fit in ten or so.

I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

Avoid check for article number and price from ORDRSP inbound

Hi,
i m working on an integration (with PI) of a 3rd party vendor with a SAP ERP (7.1) backend system. The vendor sends a soap message which is transformed by PI to an IDoc ORDRSP.ORDERS05.
The vendor sends a purchase order confirmation but unfortunately without information regarding article number and price. Therefore the IDoc remains in status 51 with 2 errros:
- Price outside tolerance range (order price 531,60 , new price 0,00 )
- Article number differs from that of ordered article 000000000000152672
Is is possible to avoid the check so that the purchase order's article number and price are not updated by the IDoc?
Regards,
Udo

Hi Udo,
This error seems to be explicitly populated into Status records of IDOC processing from the include LEINMF2O, form "CHECK_MATERIAL_PO_IDOC" (For Material) & Include LEINMF2D, form "PRICE_CHANGE".
One way to suppress the error message is to populate the existing values in EKPO table to IDOC segment using enhancment component EXIT_SAPLEINM_007, which is called from include LEINMF2X, line number 113.
Documentation of enhancement component reads
Functionality
Reading of further IDoc segments at the time of acknowledgment receipt.
The current segment is passed on in the parameter segment.
Data can be stored in the structure CUSTOMER_EKPO.
As of Release 4.6A, modification of the program-internal table FEKPO is possible.
This is just a suggestion and don't know how far it will be helpful to your requirement.

Vendor article No.

Dear all,
There is a vendor article no. in article master/ material info record which can link the our material no. and the product code assigned by vendor. If we have maintained this vendor article no. in master record, should we enter this no. directly in me21n to create a vendor PO?
Anyone can advice?
Thanks
Chris

Dear Chris,
This vendor article number is for reference only like for one material code of yours various vendors recognizes with their material code & it is maintained in master record & gets copied to PO when you process PO & also can be printed, but with this vendor material number you cannot release PO.
Hope this explanation will help u.

Closed tick and vendor material number in PR

Dear Gurus,
I have three questions.
1. I have created a PR with vendor material number, but initially vendor material number did not copy to the PO. Then I assigned a desired vendor along with vendor material number. It got copied to the PO. After that I created another PR with vendor material number and without vendor code. That vendor material number copied to the PO. Why is this?
2. I have created a PO for full quantity given in the PR, but why closed tick in the PR is not set automatically.
3. Can set this close tick in the PR when creating the PO.
Thanks,
Chameendri

Hi,
3. Can set this close tick in the PR when creating the PO.
NO,when you create Po for fully qty of PR then in PR itself Po creation status will be thereon status tab at item level and you can not create another Po if PR qty is fulled
2. I have created a PO for full quantity given in the PR, but why closed tick in the PR is not set automatically.

Use of vendor product number in shopping cart from personal template

Hi all,
I have the following scenario:
We use ECC 6.0, SRM 5.0 MDM 5.5 sp6 catalog 2.0.
In the inforecord master data in ECC we use the vendor product number (vpn). When a inforecord is created or changed, the inforecords (or changed data in the inforecord) get's replicated to SRM-MDM, just like all of the other masterdata (product, vendor and conditions).
The vpn is included in the details of a catalog product.
When a personal template is generated from a product in the catalog, it's saved with the vpn included.
When the vpn changes in ECC, this number is replicated to the SRM-MDM catalog.
So if you choose the product from the catalog after the canged vpn, the new, right vpn is used in hte shopping cart. But when you use the template that was created before the time the vpn was changed, the old vpn is used in the shopping cart and subsequently the pr and po.
This leads to wrong delivery's.
I've logged an oss call for this, because in my opinion this is a product default. But SAP points me on "standard design". This seems always to be the case when something difficult is asked.
They said it can be solved with a BADI implementation. To be more specific a validation in SRM-MDM with the doc-change Badi.
Is there some one who has experience with this kind of development and knows if this is the whight Badi of has an alternative?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
JvE

Hi,
When a personal template is generated from a product in the catalog, it's saved with the vpn included.
When the vpn changes in ECC, this number is replicated to the SRM-MDM catalog.
So if you choose the product from the catalog after the canged vpn, the new, right vpn is used in hte shopping cart. But when *you use the template that was created before the time the vpn was changed, the old vpn is used in the shopping cart and subsequently the pr and po.
*Solution:
you have told that in MDM -VPN is updated from ECC
Say for Eg : VPN is 12345 in MDM
you have created a shopping cart template with thie VPN : 12345 .
you have ordered the shopping cart the VPN number will be 12345.
After a week this VPN is updated from ECC by 12345ABC
now you have to Delete the old shopping cart template what you have created 12345.
You have to create a new template with VPN :12345ABC and create a shopping cart
How will the VPN change in the Old Template? It is not possbile.
It is not A product bug.
Please try this method what I have suggested

A/P Invoice Vendor Ref Number Field updating after adding the Invoice Copy

Hi All,
              I am able to change the Vendor Reference number in A/P Invoice Document after adding the Document. I want to restrict this to happen. Plzz help how to do this????
Regards,
Sree.

1.The Modify Posted A/P Documents authorization refers to some fields only, e.g. the Due Date or Pay to address.
2. Additional authorization can be defined only for full forms, not for fields.
3. The SP Joseph suggests will refuse those modifications when the Vendor ref is empty.
To avoid modifying the Vendor ref you can use this code:
IF @Object_type = N'18' and @transaction_type = N'U'
BEGIN
declare @li int
set @li=
(select max(t.LogInstanc)
   from ADOC t
   where t.ObjType=18 and t.DocEntry=@list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
IF
   (select isnull(t.NumAtCard,'')
    from ADOC t
    where t.ObjType=18 and t.DocEntry=@list_of_cols_val_tab_del
      and t.LogInstanc=@li-1)
!=(select isnull(t.NumAtCard,'')
   from OPCH t
   where t.DocEntry=@list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
begin
Set @error = 10
Set @error_message = N'Vendor refernce not modifiable !'
end
END
Or if you want to allow modifying an unfilled reference, then this:
IF @Object_type = N'18' and @transaction_type = N'U'
BEGIN
declare @li int
declare @pref nvarchar(100)
set @li=
(select max(t.LogInstanc)
   from ADOC t
   where t.ObjType=18 and t.DocEntry=@list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
set @pref=
(select isnull(t.NumAtCard,'')
    from ADOC t
    where t.ObjType=18 and t.DocEntry=@list_of_cols_val_tab_del
      and t.LogInstanc=@li-1)
If @pref !='' and @pref !=
(select isnull(t.NumAtCard,'')
   from OPCH t
   where t.DocEntry=@list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
begin
Set @error = 10
Set @error_message = N'Filled vendor refernce not modifiable !'
end
END
