Vendor's calendar

Hello gurus,
I want to assign a "factory" calendar to a vendor, so I know that way which are his holidays, working days, etc.
This way I can have a better control of him.
Can anyone explain me step by step how can I do that?
1. Create the new calendar: 2 options I see to define it, through SPRO (General settings --> SAP Netweaver -->Maintain Calendar) or via MD25
2. Assign that calendar to the vendor
Thank you

It would be nice if you could throw some light as to why do you want to see the holidays and working days of a vendor......as a purchaser, the intention would be to know when can the vendor deliver a particular material....and for that we can do the negotiations and enter the value in the Planned Delivery Time (inforecord)...
However, to answer your question, standard SAP doesn't have the provision to assign calendars to vendors (as per my knowledge).
Regards

Procurement cycle in SNP

Hi,
Could someone please suggest me on below scenario mapping
DETAIL: Currently to meet our business requirement (Load building for vendors), we have mapped vendor as location (with products extended to vendor location) and running SNP planning cycle, i.e., generating TLB orders, between Vendor & DC, considering truck min/max capacity.
Vendor ships product on different days of week to different DCs. For some DCs it could be say Monday of the week for others it could be Thursday, i.e., procurement cycle for the vendor varies from DC to DC. Hence we cannot control ship to date by Vendor location calendar, as it is specific to Vendor-DC lane.
Our requirement is to generate POs for vendor from DC on a specific days of the week. Day of the week could vary from DC to DC.
Regards
Seshu

Hi Sheshu and Julien,
I am interested to know as how to you built this scenario.
It would be appreciated if you could reply to me and we can discuss this.
I am interested exactly in same thing: Using SNP TLB for Vedor to TLB scenario and generating POs.
Thanks a lot for the help.
Thanks and Best Regards, Manoj

I open a calendar on a vendor website and when i try to change the date Firefox crashes.

I use a vendor's website to change retails on products that I sell. The default date for the changes is the next day. I can make the changes happen on a future date. When I open the calendar to change the date, Firefox immediately crashes when I click on a future date.

i have had a similar issue that u r describing with my ipad, but wirh a slight variation. my calendar is working fone, but if i try to use the search function, my calendar completely freezes, and the only way i have been able to resolve this is to go into my settinsgs tab, then go to set the date, and set the date to a prior date. for example, i was stuck on jan 7th 2014, and when i changed the date to a date in 2011, the calendar unfroze and allowed me to jump to any date i wanted. i was then able to go into the settings tab and enter and set my ipad to the correct date. there seems to be a defect on the ios i am using, 4.xx, with using the search function in the upper right hand corner. the only way to prevent this is to refrain from using the search function within the calendar.

Calendar date & net due date (FI) PAYMENT TERMS - OBB8 Vendor Invoice

I read many posts on SDN forum about the topic.
Anyway, I didn't find a simple solution for that.
My aim is is to calculate a net due date based on working days.
So, If I've got a 30 days document days payment term ("Deafult for baseline date" = Document date ; Additional Months = '2'), a Vendor Invoice (document date = 12.05.2011), by standard net due date will be 12.06.2011.
FROM 12.05.2011 to 12.06.2011 =
32 CALENDAR DAYS
22 WORKDAYS (32 minus 10 holyday - 2 weekends)
WORKDAYS PAYMENT TERMS Within 30 workdays Due net
Vendor Invoice document date = 12.05.2011
plus 30 workdays = DUE DATE 22.06.2011 (and not 12.06.2011)
Can I obtain that with a standard functionality?
Edited by: Roberto Buono on Jul 1, 2011 2:29 PM

Hi,
Sadly this is not available as standard. As per your need the Net due date should be worked out by using a factory calendar; but what this does is it delinks the direct correlation between the number of days in the payment terms with the difference between the due date and baseline date. I hope you are aware that Net Due date is not stored but is a variable calculated during run time in reports.
There are four things you can try:
1. The simplest to do is: As the number of weekends are fixed; and if the intention is to give a 30 working day term, then add on the number of weekends and make the payment term effectively for say 40 days. There will be marginal variations over what you want. Best part here is that config remains standard.
2. All the receivable reports will use a function module (usually the same one) to calculate the net due date; enhance the FM and make it consider a factory calendar for calculating due date.
3. Enhance the accounting interface, and in runtime; modify the days that are coming from the payment term; based on a factory calendar, and update the accounting document. This delinks the days mentioned in the payment term and the accounting document and may not be palatable.
4. Enhance the accounting interface, and in runtime; calculate the due date and update the baseline date with it and make the payment term as "Immediate" yielding the desired due date. Not very elegant. Alternatively add to the baseline date days equivalent to holidays and weekends and keep the days from payment terms constant and update the accounting document. Better...
All four options have somes pros and cons. I do not see any other means of acheiving what you want. Maybe you could restrict users to a custom receivables/due date/ageing report which delivers what you want and lock the standard reports.
Cheers..

Vendor Calendar in PIR??

Hello all,
Similar to how there is in customer master, is there a calendar we can assign in vendor master or PIR?
For a specific vendor, when we send PO, we wish to have requested delivery day for Tuesday and always Tuesday only. What is the best way to set up so that when PO is created for that vendor, requested delivery date of the following Tuesday is always taken.
Thanks.

As of my knowledge, there are no day (Monday, Tuesday) concept in Info record.
Even though, there are no fixed date concept in info record.
In standard you can set the PDT in info record which will add the number for delivery date calculation.
You may have to go with your own logic, where system will take the PDT as per you fixed date.
System will take the date as next Tuesday as delivery date and as per the delivery date system will set the PDT automatically. But for that, you system has to change the PDT for info record accordingly.
If you want to go with development, then I suggest do not use the logic in info record, you can use the logic at PO level.

Vendor Evaluation using Factory Calendar?

Hello,
Can I set up Vendor Evaluation to consider the Factory Calendar when scoring with the Standard Delivery Date Variance?
I have set it up to allow the delivery to score 100% of the points if the delivery is in by 6AM the following day. But this does not work over the weekends.
Thanks,
Matt

Please help.
There must be some way to do this.
If the factory is closed on the weekends and you miss a Friday delivery, even though you could have made the Saturday delivery you have to wait until Monday and SAP scores you as though you were 3 days late instead of the actual 1 day late.
How can I make Vendor Evaluation use the factory calendar?
Thanks,
Matt

Apply a planning calendar to a subcontract vendor

We want to apply a planning calendar to a sub-contract vendor so that Chinese New year is bloked out for them and our system doesn't plan deliveries from them that cannot happen. Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi,
You can try following steps.
Create one Planning calendar in MD25 specifying each period as yearly periods.
Maintain Lot size as PK(MRP 1 view) and Planning calendar(MRP 2 view) in material master for the components subcontracing.
After MRP system will group all the requirements in each period and creates PR according to the planning calender.

Vendor Calendar

Hi,
I want to configure a system like this :
Some of the vendors do not post goods on mondays, and I want to make MRP consider this situation. Is there any way to make this possible ?

If i understand correctly then you que is some of your vendor do not deliver goods on Mondy?
you can use plannning calender functionality to acheive the solution
                                                                                Maintain Planning Calendar
In this section, you set the parameters that define a planning calendar.
You use the planning calendar to define flexible period lengths for
     planning and procurement in demand management and in MRP. For this
     purpose, you can maintain period splits of your choice (for example,
     Wednesday to Tuesday). If you work with the planning calendar, you can
     also display the period totals display in the MRP list or in the
     stock/requirements list according to your planning calendar periods.
Example
If, for example, a vendor always delivers his goods every second
     Wednesday, you can use the planning calendar to define a period length of
     two weeks starting on the Wednesday and ending on the Tuesday, two weeks
     later. The period lot size can also be set accordingly so that, on the
     one hand, the requirements are always grouped together within the defined
     period length, and on the other, the order proposals are planned in such
     a way that the delivery date lies at the end of the period.

Calendar for vendor

Hello experts,
Someone knows if it exists a calendar for vendor and It is possible to use for calculating the delivery date?
Thanks for your help!

No
You cannot have vendor's calender in your system. You need to include their holidays in vendors planned delivery time in info record.

How to merge calendar month dimension on dashboard??

Hi All
can anyone get me solution for below issue?
Report : Vendor Performance
Reporting tool : Dashboard
Selection : Vendor1
Requirement : Should show the report as you see in pic 1
1. I have three different KPI's which has to be shown in same table like u see in Pic 1 and each KPI values comes from different queries.
2. When i map this data to excel i am getting values as you see in Pic 2, Pic 3 and Pic 4.
3. if you see Pic 1 (data comes from query 1) there is data for JAN where as we dont have JAN data for Pic 2( or query 2).
Now my question is how we can combine all this values as we see in Pic 1?.. I need all values to be shown for respective month. for example if there is no data for march and it should be blank.
Can it be done on BW side if not in BO?\
Note : I am able to done this on webi report by merging calendar month for all three query.
Thanks in advance

Hi Vijay
It can be on BW side also. Check with your BW team if all three queries are built on different infoproviders if yes built a multiprovider on top of all infoproviders and create a new query. This query will have calendar month and your KPI1, KPI 2 and KPI3 key figures in it.
You can use this single query in Dashboard now.
As suggested by others you can use webi merged dimension functionality or HLOOKUP also.

Due date in vendor line items

I would like to know if it is possible via Customizing to get the due date taking into account a calendar in order to avoid the due date in a non-working date.
If it's not possible via Customizing, how can we get it?
Does the standard cover this requirement?
Thanks a lot in adavance.

Hello Montserrat,
I am not sure whether the functionality can be established via Customizing...based on Customer or Vendor Payment Terms (OBB8).
But, I can advise a solution that can be acheived programatically (technically).
Configure a Substitution step (OBBH), may be for item level, in the form of User-exit and inform your developer to embed the logic for verifying the Due Date in the customer/vendor line item against the calender (using appropriate function modules that are available in the standard) and substitute the Due Date to a working day, if required.
Hope this helps you in resolving the problem.
Pls reward if helpful.
With Regards
Vijay Gajavalli

How can I sync my ipad calendar to my g5?

I am new with Mac G5 and I want to sync my ipad calendar to my icalendar, I tried through itune but no luck, I don't get it, it works with my ipod 2nd generation. On my laptop pc it works great but it seems more complicate on Mac...I tried to install iCloud but G5 doesn's support so I am stuck, any help would be appreciated.
TKS,

I don't get it, it works with my ipod 2nd generation.
That iPod is older and has less stringent system requirements than an iPad. They worked with older Macs and lower levels OS versions. You need a minimum of OS 10.5.8 to work a 2011/12 vintage iDevice. And, as you've discovered, iCloud requires OS 10.7
If you include your approximate geographic location in your profile, perhaps someone can offers suggestions for a vendor close to you. Apple no longer sells OS10.5 so you'll have to hit the murky third-party market for find it.

Contact and Calendar Duplications, sync and more issues!

I have the iPhone 4S. I decided to activate the iCloud on my phone through to iCloud and to my Windows PC laptop. However, this caused all my calendar entries to duplicate and I had to manually delete the duplications on my Outlook Calendar so that it would not show up in any of the other devices.
I also ended up losing a lot of contacts - they all started merging!
I managed to fix all of this by painfully having to manually delete calendar entries and manually editing contact information but there is still a number of outstanding probelms:
1. Contacts - the prefix for e-mail addresses (i.e home, work etc) now all show as e-mail (rather than home, work etc). I had to manually change them all so it synced correctly in all the relevant devices (PC Laptop, iphone 4S and iCloud). However, after manually changing the e-mail prefix in my PC laptop nothing is reflecting on my 4S nor in the Cloud. iCloud is definitely working as things are syncing, it is just not dealing with all the format changes.
2. When I change/edit an existing contact or add a new contact record via my 4S - Outlook will then show that record by last name, first name (all my settings in all devices are set to First Name, Last Name). This is getting really frustrating!
3. Contacts - following on from point 1. If I make a change to an existing contact the e-mail prefix (which I had to change manually to reflect home, work etc) reverts back to showing as "e-mail" rather than stating if it's actually the contact's home or work e-mail address!!?!.
4. I also have an iPad 2 but have not set up the iCloud just yet. To avoid the duplication and loss of contacts experience all over again. Can someone give some advice on how I can ensure iCloud is set up correctly so that my iPad 2, iPhone 4S and PC Laptop all sync via the iCloud without any issues?
5. How do I carry out out a software update on my iPhone 4S given that everything syncs through the iCloud i.e. no longer have to connect my 4S to the laptop? Does this happen automatically through iCloud? I was concerned about connecting my 4S via the USB lead to my laptop which would then start a sync process and possibly duplicating everything?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Nope, Thunderbird is a client program, so is your phone. Software that tries to sync clients invariably is the cause of drama because sync is truly very difficult to program successfully and free apps from phone vendors are not quality products and almost invariably support one program and one version of that program.
So using a third party server is the correct approach. If syncing Google contact to a phone causes issues, that is more than likely the sync software used not an inherent problem with the process.
If you do not wish to use Google your more than welcome to install and run your own ldap server to sync contact to. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Directory_Access_Protocol
or Go the whole hog and host your own groupware server including calendars http://www.sogo.nu/about/overview.html

How can I sync my Outlook 2010 calendar with Gmail Calendar now that Google Sync is no longer available

My iPhone 3 had been syncing fine with Outlook 2003 via Google Sync. I recently had to reload my PC, wiped it and installed Outlook 2010 as part of the reload; when I tried to install Google Sync I learned it was no longer available for download after December 14th.....I did have it on another PC, moved it over but got an error message. So I am no longer able to make calendar changes on my iPhone and have them sync to Outlook or vise versa. In addition my Google calendar is now empty....
Anyone know of a way to enable a sync between Google Calendar and Outlook 2010
Is there a way to add or import my Outlook Calendar to Google Calendar?
Why is all this stuff so complecated!??

no you can not do that. You can sync any web calendar that supports web dav to lightning, but Microsoft have chosen to not use the open standard and instead only offer a Microsoft Proprietary interface. Nothing new here though. They only offered a Microsoft Proprietary interface to download mail for many years. They call it innovation. I call it vendor lock in.
Interestingly enough you can sync office 365 calendar via OWA but not outlook.com
