Vendor inventory

Hi sap,
I have some doubt in VMI process ; In the process we have
1) 852 gives the product activity which is sent by the customer to the supplier
2) 850 POs are created by the supplier
3) 855 PO acknowledgement received from suppliers
4) 856 ASN sent by supplier
5) 861 receipt advice sent by the customer to supplier
6) 810 Invoice sent by supplier
7) 820 payment advice sent by customer
This is the complete process of VMI. In VMI vendor has access to my inventory information and he (vendor) raises the PO as and when the inventory reaches reorder point
Here i would like to know what is the need of Process 3 (PO acknowledgement) as Vendor himself is raising a PO what is the prominence of acknowledgement
will be great if any one can help me out in this
Regards
karan

Hi John,
There won't be any prominence as you said. For the Process 3 (PO acknowledgement) when the Vendor and supplier both are same.
But, think about the case when the supplier is different from the Vendor like; a Third party/ Sub Contracting PO in which the Supplier sends the material to the Vendor (Who is managing the VMI application).
It is just how busines needs it- vendor creates 850 PO- sometimes the system at vendor is configured in such a way that when he creates PO- it triggers PO acknowledgeent to other system via EDI
so it is just how there things are configured.
hope it will clears your doubt.
Cheers....

  • Account clearing problem in Return to vendor scenario

    We created purchase order , GR and MIRO has also been done.
    Now we need to return the material to vendor due to some reason , in return vendor will pay back the money.
    My scenario is we purchased the item from vendor at Rs.500.At the time of return vendor says he will not pay the full amount.
    If vendor pay Rs 300 instead of Rs.500.Then there is some amount left in GR/IR clearing account and
    that is not right.How to clear GR/IR account automatically and what is the right procedure.
    Accounting Entries :
    At the time of return to vendor
    Inventory acc - credit by 500
    GR/IR Acc     - debit by 500
    At the time of subsequent credit
    GR/IR acc      - credit by 300
    Vendor acc  - debit by 300
    how to clear GR/Ir account automatically in return to vendor scenario???
    Please help.
    Regards
    Kavita

    Hi,
    Since you have done MIRO, now you will need to perform Credit MEMO. This is also done in MIRO.
    However here, you would state the quantity to be returned to vendor and the "reduced" price.
    After performing the above, perform return delivery and the accounting entries would be ok.

  • PPV report or functional Specification

    Dear Friends,
    I tried but did not find any standard Purchase Price variance report. My client's report requirement is :
    PO, Mateial, Std Price, Std Cost , Actual Price, Actual Qty, Actual Cost, Batch, Vendor..............
    All information I collected to develop a report except actual Price and Actual Cost.
    My client is Indian and we are using CIN. In PO there is basic rate/cost but final/other rate are deriving from MM condition i.e frieght/insurance, excise etc..... 
    I am not able to find field/fields from where I can get final actual cost of PO or final actual price.
    Although in table KONV I can total value of PO but how can be linked , i dont know.
    Requesting you  please provide me your guidance or if any body has functinal specification and can send to me, please send (my id is in my profile).
    It would be great help.
    Thanks
    Ravi

    Fo actual PPV, we wrote our PPV report based on the PPV account.
    Report selects and entry for the PPV account and then brings information like PO number, material number, vendor, Inventory value postes, GRIR amount posted. -
    It is massive program, but both Finance and Purchasing use it to review and explain PPV

  • Types of subcontracting

    dear gurus,
                what are all the types of subcontracting in sap?how it has been mapped in standard sap system?
               what is mean by internal and external subcontarcting/
         in which subontracting we will be using special procurement key 30 for subcontarcting
                                                                       -gideon

    Many Organizations will outsource few of its Manufacturing, Finishing, Packaging operations to external vendors. These vendors are called as Sub contractors. These Subcontractors are charged for the services they have provided through their operations. There are different kind of Business Scenarios that are operational with respect to Subcontracting. The choice and applicability of a particular scenario depends on different parameters. Some of these Parameters are:
    Does the company manufactures the Raw Materials required for manufacturing the finished products at its own facilities or procures them from external vendors
    Inventory of Raw materials at own facilities
    Lead times at sub contractor location
    Procurement Lead times from the external Vendor
    Logistics (Distance, cost, etc) planning wrt to Sub contracting Vendor
    The Raw materials provided to Vendor are normally termed as "Material Provided to Vendor". This stock is physically located at Vendor location but is owned by the company itself. This stock is treated as consumption only when the finished products are received into the Plant.
    You use the special procurement key as 30 in the MRP 2 view of MM of the material which is subcontracted.You can specify the plant from which this material is procured in customizing.You can also create your own special procurement type.

  • PROCUREMENT OF NEW MATERIAL

    HI Friends,
    I want to procure new material, in that case whether i need to maintain vendor master for sending RFQ. Without vendor master, is there any possiblities to send RFQ.
    Can anyone explain the process flow for new material procurement.
    Regards,
    Prabu

    Hi,
    Atleast you should have created a VMR of account group One time vendor.Without VMR RFQ's are to be sent to vendors address.
    To procure a stock material in SAP R/3 you need to have a Material master and the Vendor master. Price with respect to Material and Vendor Combination can be maintained in purchasing info record, Contract, Scheduling agreement or else manually in purchase order with the help of calculation schema in SAP.
    1. Determination of Requirements:
    Materials requirements are identified either in the user departments or via materials planning and control. (This can cover both MRP proper and the demand-based approach to inventory control. The regular checking of stock levels of materials defined by master records, use of the order-point method, and forecasting on the basis of past usage are important aspects of the latter.) You can enter purchase requisitions yourself, or they can be generated automatically by the materials planning and control system.
    2. Source Determination
    The Purchasing component helps you identify potential sources of supply based on past orders and existing longer-term purchase agreements. This speeds the process of creating requests for quotation (RFQs), which can be sent to vendors electronically via SAP EDI, if desired.
    3. Vendor Selection and Comparison of Quotations
    The system is capable of simulating pricing scenarios, allowing you to compare a number of different quotations. Rejection letters can be sent automatically.
    4. Purchase Order Processing
    A purchase order is a formal request or instruction from a purchasing organization to a vendor or a plant to supply or provide a certain quantity of goods or services at or by a certain point in time.
    The Purchasing system adopts information from the requisition and the quotation to help you create a purchase order. As with purchase requisitions, you can generate Pos yourself or have the system generate them automatically.
    5. Goods Receiving and Inventory Management
    When a material is ordered from a vendor, Inventory Management posts the delivery as a goods receipt with reference to the purchase order. The vendor invoice is processed later by Invoice Verification. Here, the quantities and values from the purchase order and the goods receipt document are checked to ensure that they match those in the invoice.
    Goods receiving personnel can confirm the receipt of goods simply by entering the Po number. By specifying permissible tolerances, buyers can limit over- and under deliveries of ordered goods.
    6. Invoice Verification
    The system supports the checking and matching of invoices. The accounts payable clerk is notified of quantity and price variances because the system has access to PO and goods receipt data. This speeds the process of auditing and clearing invoices for payment.
    By referencing the PO number you can verify the Vendor invoice and send it to FI for further processing.

  • IM & WM

    Hallo SAPpers,
    without linking me to SAP help. I would like to know in few words in a sentence what's WM, what's IM and  what's the difference beetween WM & IM
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You manage stock using WM in an extended and comprehensive way.
    WM:
    With SAP solutions for warehouse management, you can optimize warehouse activities u2013 including inbound and outbound processing, facility management and storage, physical inventory, and planned and opportunistic cross docking. You can take advantage of data collection technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID) and voice and new workload balancing tools.
    SAP solutions for warehouse management support inbound processing and receipt confirmation with RFID technology u2013 so your company can receive and process externally procured goods into warehouses with a single radio frequency scan. You can capture detailed and overview information, including process details of inbound deliveries. Outbound processing can leverage RFID technology to manage distribution and proof-of-delivery activities.
    Using SAP solutions for warehouse management, employees can direct inbound goods through cross-docking processes. These processes can help you:
    Minimize duplicate goods movements within warehouses Optimize flow of goods inbound to outbound and shorten routes within warehouses Optimize internal movements and storage of goods within a warehouse Plan and execute physical inventory or cycle counts To help you maximize the use and productivity of your warehouse workforce, SAP provides labor management functionality to track employee performance against engineered labor standards or other performance metrics. You can measure employee activities by tracking direct and indirect labor and providing an accurate overview of all warehouse employee activities.
    IM:
    Inventory Management is part of the Materials Management module and is fully integrated in the entire logistics system.
    Material is procured from external or internal sources on the basis of the requirements determined by Material Requirements Planning. The delivery is entered in Inventory Management as a goods receipt. The material is stored (and managed under Inventory Management) until it is delivered to customers (Sales & Distribution), or is used for internal purposes (for example, for production).
    During all transactions, Inventory Management accesses both master data (such as material master data) and transaction data (such as purchasing documents) shared by all Logistics components.
    As a component of Materials Management, Inventory Management is directly linked with Material Requirements Planning, Purchasing, and Invoice Verification.
    Inventory Management provides information for MRP, which takes into account not only physical stocks but also planned movements (requirements, receipts).
    When a material is ordered from a vendor, Inventory Management posts the delivery as a goods receipt with reference to the purchase order. The vendor invoice is processed later by Invoice Verification. Here, the quantities and values from the purchase order and the goods receipt document are checked to ensure that they match those in the invoice.

  • BW:Inventory stock Report issue based on Vendor and PO number

    Dear Guru's.
    Requirement is to report different inventory  stock's (Total Stock, blocked stock, stock in transit..etc) based on plant, material, storage location, vendor and purchase order in BW.
    For Example:
    Plant
    material
    Stock in Transit
    Total Stock

    0,00
    100kg
    1000
    50000002
    500kg
    600kg
    If we drag the Vendor or Purchase Order Number into the report, Data gets Splitted into +ve (Inflow) and -Ve(Outflow) values.
    For Example:
    Plant
    material
    Vendor
    Purchase Order
    Stock in Transit
    Total Stock
    1000
    50000001

    +800kg
    1000
    50000002
    -400kg
    -200kg
    I Think this is because no vendor assigned to outflow data. this is my guess i don't have much knowledge on MM. i have tried to restrict the keyfig's with stock category, but for most of the vendors or PO 's its unassigned.
    But we need the data in single as follows. can any one suggest me any steps to achieve this in BI or BO.
    Plant
    material
    Vendor
    Purchase Order
    Stock in Transit
    Total Stock

    Thanks in Advance,
    Dev

    Hi Sheshu and hi Srinu
    Already tried constant selection but it did not helped, the same keyfigure value is displayed in all the rows.
    that means the total stock value is repeated for all the vendors for a particular material.
    For example:
    Plant
    material
    Vendor
    Purchase Order
    Stock in Transit
    Total Stock
    1000
    50000001

    567896
    0,00 kg

    50000002

    + 800 kg
    Regarding the BO settings, i need to try it.
    Any more suggestions will be much more helpful.

  • Inventory by vendor report

    Hello all,
    Users have asked me to create an inventory report that combines data from MCBE and MCBR (batch + no batch inventory). So far so good.
    Now, users would like an additional display field for vendor.
    I was thinking of getting the vendor (for batches) from tables mcha or mch1.
    However, field lifnr in mcha is always blank, and only sometimes populated in mch1.
    Hence these questions:
    1) Is there an SAP standard inventory report that shows the vendor from which inventory was obtained?
    2) Why would tables mcha / mch1 not always have the vendor field populated?
    Sincerely,
    Peter

    Hi,

  • Duplicate check for non inventory vendor invoices in Finance

    Hi,
    SAP provides duplicate check for non inventory vendor invoices posted through transactions F-43 and FB01 etc. The field values checked for duplicate invoice include Document date and Reference field.
    I want to know, is there any flexibility of removing Document date from checking criteria?
    This is to facilitate picking more invoices in duplicate check net.
    Regards,
    Vijay

    Dear Vijay
    Yes, you can control this via business transaction events. Please review the below explanation.
    In Rel 4.6, duplicate invoices are checked using function module
    FI_DUPLICATE_INVOICE_CHECK which is called when invoices are posted via trans FB60.  Duplicate invoice checking criteria can be customized using the open FI interface SAMPLE_PROCESS_00001110 (custom function module) starting from Rel 4.6.  Please verify if the open FI interface 00001110 is being used in your system and review duplicate invoice selection criteria via trans BERP. You may wish to omit the document date (BLDAT field from the duplicate invoice check criteria to trigger error msg F5117.  In addition, table BSIP (vendor duplicate documents) may need to be updated.  (see note 114563 for further info).
    Please also check note 537213, and note 31771 for your information.
    If this helps please reward with points.

  • Inventory by vendor

    Hi Gurus,
    Is there a transaction that can show us the inventory by vendor. I mean all the materials that we bought from a vendor in a given time frame for a plant?
    Thanks
    Anusha

    if your material is batch managed, then you have the vendor number in the batch record, so you can get a list based on this using the BMBC.
    If your material is not batch managed, then you have no chance to get this as a  reliable information. then you can just ASSUME that the stock is from vendor xyz based on last PO. If you dont issue the materials using strict FIFO method, then you may have stock that came from several vendors, but is only one cumulated quantity in MMBE. so SAP cannot tell you how much is from which vendor.

  • Report on inventory purchased for a period from a vendor

    I am looking for a report which shows the inventory of a raw material purchased from a vendor for a particular period. Is there any standard report ?

    Hi!
    Case 01: If you are interested in just knowing the qty of Material received from a Particular Vendor, you can use MB51 by defining the Vendor and Movement Type (101,102).
    Case 02: If you are interested in the existing Stock in the Stor.Loc / Plant segregated by Vendor, probably you need to have Batch Management activated - with Vendor as the criteria for batch. This will allow to you to see Stock per Vendor in any Standard report like MB52. In this case the System will require you to enter the batch (Vendor in this case), every time you do a GR, GI or Transfer Transaction.
    Hope this helps.

  • Partner func for vendor/cust. in inventory mangment

    hi,
    for partner function for vendor /customer in inventory management ,i found one note: SAP Note 193250
    the note details
    Summary
    Symptom
    In inventory management, the partner functions of vendors or customers are
    not taken into account for goods movements.
    Additional key words
    MB01, MB1A, MB1C, MB1B, output determination
    Cause and prerequisites
    This function is not supported. The inventory management does not work in
    the standard system with vendor or customer partner functions.
    Solution
    You can look up the partner roles of the vendor master record or customer
    master record in the user exit routine USER_EXIT_KOMPBME_PARTNER (program
    RVCOMFZ2) and fill table COM_PART. You can find the vendor or customer
    number in structure COM_MSEG.
    I found user exit USER_EXIT_KOMPBME_PARTNER in Program RVCOMFZ2,
    FORM USEREXIT_KOMPBME_PARTNER.
    COM_PART-PARVW =
    COM_PART-PARNO =
    APPEND COM_PART.
    ENDFORM.
    what changes i have to in this program ,please give the solution
    Thanks and regards
    Vijay.

    Hi,
    You wont be able to access COM_MSEG using SE11.
    It actually fetches values from MSEG if you check the function module - KOMPBME_FILL, you can see COM_MSEG is like MSEG hence it will act like a internal table.
    Hence you will get the values in COM_MSEG dynamically from MSEG.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks & Regards,
