Vendor limit

Hi SDN Moderators
I posed a question and noted that this question is being blocked. No replies allowed, and that I should check on SDN.
I did check through the forum, the couple of answers I found, suggest that no credit limit is maintained for creditors on SAP. Only credit for customers are being maintained.
My question was?
In SAP is there anything similar to credit limits in SD on the MM Side for Vendors? E.g. We might have a credit limit with a Vendor to spend up to £5,000 so if payments havn't been cleared on the AP side we should get an error message which will stop us buying from that Vendor until payments have been cleared or the Credit Limit has been increased?
Why was the question blocked? And not allowed to be answered by the forum? How will you manage your spend, if the controls are not that good at the vendor/supplier? I dont think release strategy on the MM side will help.

Hello Theo,
There is no default risk on the Accounts Payable side, as it is the company that pays.
The best way to go ahead would be the use of workflows.

Vendor wise MIC Limit

Dear Gurs,
Pls help me for the scenario as mentioned followed.
I have a one material. for that there is a 3 differenet vendors. for that material Length is a one MIC.but as per vendor limit is different. I don't want to use a 3 different MIC for vendor wise. Requirment is One Material, One MIC but Limit should be come in Inspection plan as per vendor.
MIC u2013 length
Vendors u2013 A,B and C
Vendor Spec for length for the SAME material u2013 10-12cm,10-18cm,10-20cm (A,B and C vendors)
For GR if vendor is B then for that Inspcection lot limit of the MIC legnth should be reflected as a 10-18 cm.
Thanks in advance for help.

Hi Mihir,
There are two ways to incorporate the requirement.
1. Create that much number of task list counters for the inspection plans, same as the Vendors you have. I means One Task list group counter 01 will be assigned to Material 'M' Vendor 'A', counter 02 for Material 'M' Vendor 'B', & counter 03 for Material 'M' Vendor 'C'.
2. Refer the [wiki document|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/SameParameters-DifferentSpecifications]

Setting up maximum order value for vendor

Hi experts,
I want to set a maximum price/value limit for vendor for giving order
For example - i want to set a maximum limit of 1lakh for vendor A
when ever I create PO for vendor A , system should chck the maximum value for A vendor.
And if there a many open order for vendor A, then the total of open PO's shoukld be
counted and when ever i am creating new PO & if ec=xceeds the value 1 lakh then
system should not allow to create the new PO
Vendor A      PO1     value - 50000      status - open
vendor A     PO2     value - 30000     status - open
vendor A     PO3     value - 40000     status - creating now
At the time of creating PO3, PO value exceeds the vendor limit, so it should not allow to create/save the PO3
please let me know how to handle this

Hi,
This can get really complex unless you have clear vision of what you want to control.
For example, the maximum limit that you want to set, is it for the current month / current year etc?
If it is the sum of all Open PO value, would you consider the PO's that were created the sme month and delivered but payment is pending though Invopice is posted?
So answers to such questions provide the clarity for teh controls that need to set in place.
For this you can create a Z table and maintain the limits that you like to set based on the criterion like monthly or yearly.
Then Use a user-exit in the PO to calculate the net value of all open PO's for the vendor and then validate with the Z table and throw an error if it exceeds.
However the performance may get effected with such calculations on PO save.
in that case you may have to consider storing the cumulated PO value on every PO creation and PO Completion.
Consider all this and take a decision.
hope this helps.

Where can I download GarageBand 9?

I deleted GarageBand because I was running out of memory, but now I need it for a project. I'm running Mac OSX 10.8.5 and the version of GarageBand in the App Store (GarageBand 10) is only compatibly with OSX 10.9.

As a lifetime Mac user, I find it massively irritating not to be able to find "legacy" apps and OS downloads. As an administrator of a Mac labs and classrooms, I find the Applications Store super annoying.
The App Store only promises to keep installers for the current versions ready for download, as a convenience. When you buy software, it is your responsibility to back up your purchases, so you can reinstall them. Most of the software vendors limit the time during which the software can be downloaded again.

Hi ALL,
Is there are limit in vendor texts? My user has entered a large text in the Po -vendor text.

Could you please help me to resolve the issue?
Thanks.

Runtime Error          DATA_LENGTH_NEGATIVE
Except.                CX_SY_RANGE_OUT_OF_BOUNDS
Short text: Invalid partial field access: Negative length
What happened?
    Error in ABAP application program.
    The current ABAP program "/1BCDWB/SAPLSF00000001" had to be terminated because
     one of the
    statements could not be executed.
    This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.
Error analysis
    An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below
    . The exception, which is assigned to the class 'CX_SY_RANGE_OUT_OF_BOUNDS',
     was neither
    caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure "%GLOBAL_INIT"
     "(FORM)"
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception
     to occur, the running program was terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    The system tried to access field "LV1" with length
    "-10" in the current program "/1BCDWB/SAPLSF00000001".
    Partial field access is not allowed with negative length specifications.
How to correct the error
    Please use a positive length specification when trying to access a
    field "LV1".
    If the error occurred in one of your own programs or in an SAP program
    that you modified, try to correct it yourself.
    You may able to find an interim solution to the problem
    in the SAP note system. If you have access to the note system yourself,
    use the following search criteria:

Payment/Credit Limit for Vendors

Hi SAP Gurus!
Is it possible to impose a maximum payment/credit limit for Vendors in SAP?
I saw in this forums that it can be done through Contracts but in the contracts, you have to enter a material. Is it possible that you don't have a material and the contract will encompass all the transactions of the vendor?\
Hope to hear from you soon!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can make use of following Features of Contract w/o materials;
Item Categories in Contracts: -
Just as with purchase orders, you can enter an item category to define the item as an external service item, a consignment item, a subcontracting item or as a free-form text item.
Item Category M (Material Unknown)
Item category M is for entering contract items without specifying the material number.
Item category M is recommended for similar materials with the same price but with differing material numbers.
Example
Consider a contract item for different types of office paper. The various types of paper have the same weight, quality, and price. However, they differ in the following respects: One type is lined, another is unlined, and another has two holes on the left side for filing purposes.
How Do You Use Item Category M?
In the case of items of category M, you enter the short text (short description), target quantity, unit of measure, and price. As soon as a contract release order is created, the material number or a short text is entered (e.g. the exact type of paper, say, two-hole punched). The system determines the net price on the basis of the gross price entered, less any discounts.
Item Category W (Material Group)
Item category W allows you to enter a material group without entering the value or quantity of the contract item. Item category W is for value contracts only.
Example
Consider a contract for cable. The contract covers every type of cable on the vendor's price list. The exact type of cable is known only at the time a specific cable is ordered.
Instead of entering an item for every type of cable the vendor is able to supply, you could enter item category W and the material group (say, CABLE). The short text would indicate that the contract item covers all types of cable supplied by the vendor.
Each release order issued against this contract would then specify the actual type and quantity of cable (for example, double-shielded coax, 1 spool) as well as the price.
How Do You Use Item Category W?
When you create the contract item, enter the item category W, the short text, and the material group. You do not enter a price or conditions for the item. However, it is possible to specify conditions in the document header. For example, you can enter a discount in the header conditions if the vendor grants a discount on all Pos relating to the contract. The discount is automatically taken into account when the release order is created.
You can enter a material number in the contract release order. The corresponding material master record must be assigned to the same material group specified in the referenced contract item. If the release order does not have a material number, then it must contain a valid account assignment, such as a cost center.

Can v set credit limit for a vendor? if so, how?

can v set credit limit for a vendor? if so, how?

Hello
the two replies are correct that the redit limit is always used for customers. but i can give you the scenario as per the request and Amrita please correct me if i am making something wrong.
as per vendors there are three to four vendors are available for buying a material. we are not using quota arrangement but we just distribute the order based on the situations. the order is given to a vendor who is quoting low price, giving the required quality and quantity and supplying as per our need. there is one more criteria for choosing this vendor. the outstanding balance for this vendor should not cross some limit.
the limit may be based on negotiations and the some contracts' terms and conditions.
the solution for this may be that there should be one report where you can see how much we owe to each vendor. this could be possible only when we know the Vendor g/l account and the corresponding balances.
i think i have cleared the credit idea as well as given the solution. please reward if found it helpful.

How can I restrict a vendor with certain value limit?

Hi Gururs,
How can I restrict a vendor with certain value limit?.
Scenario is like this
If my company was decided to purchase goods from a particular vendor upto Rs.1000, if cross the rs.1000 limit don't allow the Posting the PO and get the Message as warning/error.
Give the configuration setting's and T.codes
Thanks and regards
G.N.Rao

Hi
Go to T.Code oms4 and then select the material status BP (Blocked for purchasing)
Click on Details
In that under Purchasing select the option A= Warning or B=Error
Click on Save
Thus by doing this no further purchasing function for that material can be done. So the PO can not be issued
So as and when the value limit reaches see that purchasing option is blocked
So no further PO are generated in the future
I hope this helps you out
If found useful reward accordingly
Thanks

Number of times a particular vendor has exceeded the threshold limit

Hello,
We wish to find the number of times a particular vendor invoice has exceeded tolerance limit. Is there any table where this data gets updated or is their any standard report ?
Regards
Jayesh.

Firstly note that you cannot 'exceed' the tolerance. Based on the tolerance, you can goods receipt a higher quantity than specified in the PO.
Check vendor evaluation report ME6H, it provides scores to vendors on quantity reliability. You can use this if you have vendor evaluation configured for your Pur org.
If you are thinking for a Z logic, for each PO line item for the vendor, search in MSEG and total the quantity receipted. If this exceeds the quantity order in the PO item, increase your counter.

FBL1N - Limit display line itens for some vendors

Hi All,
I have a request from business to limit the access for some vendors in FBL1N.
The idea is to limit the users to do not see the line itens for some vendors.
Is there some standard configuration? Any suggestion?

Ricardo,
My suggestion is to involve a Basis person for this. You need to check the authorization object attached to Vendor line item display transaction FBL1N.
Then explain to the Basis person the conditions in which certain line items should not be displayed. I am sure this exercise would be of help.
Regards,
Vishal.

What credit limit is valid - the one set at Vendor master , PO or invoice ?

Dear Friends,
I want your suggestions, if weather there is any standard guidelines on which credit limit is followed if I maintain different values at Vendor master, purchase order and at Invoice level
Looking forward for your thoughts ?

There is no credit limit for vendors, as we buy goods from vendor and not sell it to them
There are release strategies in MM. Please clarify your setup.

Vendor Credit Limit

Hi,
In SAP is there anything similar to credit limits in SD on the MM Side for Vendors? E.g. We might have a credit limit with a Vendor to spend up to £5,000 so if payments havn't been cleared on the AP side we should get an error message which will stop us buying from that Vendor until payments have been cleared or the Credit Limit has been increased?
Thanks
Adeel

hi,
thr is no ceeredit limit in MM,
normally we use Release startgy in MM,
but in ur case it is not workout...

Block ifo record when Vendor rating below accp limit

Dear All,
Can a QM Info for a vendor be blocked automatically (by using any enhancement) when the Vendor Quality rating goes below the certain limit.?
Kindly Suggest.
Regards,
Anil

Yes and no.
You can use the Q-info record (QI01/QI02/QI03) to release vendors for specific materials. You can use QI06 to mass maintain these. In the info record you can set specific blocks. For instance, you can block any new PO's for the vendor/material combination.
The blocks however are not automatically set. Typcially, someone runs the vendor evaluation on a regular basis (ME61 or ME63) and reviews the poor performing vendors. These vendors can then be blocked using the QI06 transaction as explained above.
Vendor evaluation is not a dynamic value. It is only changed when the vendor evaluation program is run. So their Quality score would not change or 'drop' on a day-to-day basis unless some one ran vendor evaluation on a day-to-day basis. (ME6G sets up a batch job to do this and can be run daily).
To make it automatic, a program would need to be written to look up the vendor scores after the vendor evaluation job was run and then set the block in the quality info record for vendors with a score below a certain value.
Be careful. If you have materials that are primarily single-sourced, you could winid up blocking your only or primary vendor. This can also be especially true for materials that are purchased on an infrequent basis. If you only order twice a year, one failed inspection can swing the Q-score down a lot. Thus possibly blocking your vendor.
