Vendor's in SRM - Purchasing block automatically

Hi Gurus,
SRM 5.5 -Extended Classic Scenario
We have multiple backend r/3 system attached to our SRM system.
Though the vendor is not blocked in the backend system, For Some Unknown reason - the vendors are automatically getting purchasing block for all the vendors ?
Kindly advice for a solution.
Thanks and regards,
Anil Rajpal

Hello Anil,
Though the vendor is not blocked in the backend system
Check with XK03 R/3 transaction account changes for vendors concerned. Follow menu Environment > Account changes > All fields.
This will tell you if any purchasing block was set or not at one moment.
For Some Unknown reason - the vendors are automatically getting purchasing block for all the vendors ?
Do you have any vendor replication report scheduled in your system ( BBP_VENDOR_SYNC or BBP_VENDOR_UPDATE_DATA_JOB ) ?
If yes, check what is the user executing the job in SM37.
Finally, check if vendors in SRM were updated by this user. For this, have a look at fields CHUSR, CHDAT and CHTIM from table BUT000. If it is the same user, update was done automatically.
If user is different, this means this user made directly modification in SRM.
This check is for central block (all purchasing organizations). I guess for one particular purchasing organization block, you can do the same (in table BBPM_BUT_FRG0061, you don't have info regarding user, date and time modifications).
You can also check with logs from SLG1 transaction if report is scheduled.
Regards.
Laurent.

Vendor field on SRM Purchase Order

Hi.
Please can someone elaborate and explain why my preferred supplier that I have entered onto my Cart does not copy through to the Vendor field on SRM Purchase Order please? At this moment, the Preferred Vendor field is incorrectly populated whereas previously, only the Vendor field was populated. We have the ECS activated.
Thank you.
Pooja!

Hi
Prefered vendor - if you manually added a vendor - This partner function no. 39.
check your BBP_PD whether you have prefered vendor or fixed vendor in partner head.
Fixed vendor -partner function is 19 like contract ...etc
check these details or your approver might be changed your source of supply if he has access to modify the cart.

Set Posting block and Purchasing block automatically upon vendor creation

Hi.
I have a requirement to automatically set the purchasing block and posting block to 'X' upon creation of vendor master. I have seen a user exit to do this but then I can't seem to find a way to set the SPERM field to 'X'.
Please help. THanks.

Transaction FIBF start the event manager.
on menu: environment->info system (P/S) and then execute: it will be displayed all possible events.
between event 1410 and 1460, you will find all events about vendor.
click on documentation, it will tell you when the event is reached and what you can do.
After you have choose an event, you must create a function module, copying it from the sample function module of the event.
Once you have created your own funcion module, you should go to:
FIBF->SETTINGS->P/S MODULES.
This part of customization is not very clear to me, i've never done by myself. Anyway, here you associate at the businness event the function module you have created.
Sorry for not beeing exaustive, hope anyway could be help you.

Vendor marked as purchasing Block after confirmation of Vendor through FK08

Hi ,
We are having SRM 5.0 Add On System. While Creation of Vendor In ECC system it goes for Confirmation First.
So in SRM Vendor Remains as Blocked for Purchasing in Table BBPM_BUT_FRG0061 as Vendor in ECC system also remains as blocked for Purchasing.
Confirmation FK08 is done by different user. After Confirmation in ECC system vendor get unblocked for Purchasing but in SRM it remains as blocked for purchasing.
So Purchasimg Blocked is not removed in SRM.
If we are removing the block tick by Changing the Vendor(XK02) then in SRM Vendor get unblocked automatically.
Expecting reply at the earliest.
Thanks & Best Regards,
GK

Hello GK,
Behavior you describe is the standard one.
FK08 is to confirm vendor modification regarding accounting data, that is at company level.
So, purchasing organization data being not concidered, vendor is unblocked for posting (all companies or selected company) but not for purchasing.

Laurent.

Vendor Master Purchasing Block

Dear All,
Im having a very weird issue.
For certain vendors, the vendor master purchasing block was automatically set by the system.
I know it was done automatically because when i checked the vendor master change documents and audit trail, no changes were made.
I got to know this issue when users were trying to raise PO, and the error Vendor Blocked appeared, then when i checked XK05, it had a purchasing block.
Is it possible for it to be blocked automatically? or am i missing something somewhere?

I dont think that system will set vendor blocks itself.
this are the cases that do not create change documents: direct table maintenance or an own defined ABAP, or were already sentered with creation of the vendor.
an other possibility is: archiving change records, as the cahnge records table is usually one of the biggest tables in a SAP system.

Vendor invoices are blocked automatically with payment blck A instead of R

There is an issue with a specific vendor.This vendor's invoices are blocked automatically with payment block A instead of
payment block R.
I know that invoices are blocked when posted if there is a price variance exceeding 3% and/or 100 Euro with payment block R.The invoices with payment block A are not included in the report Z1PE which is used by the Production Planning in order to monitor the blocked invoices and these invoices remain blocked for a long time until the vendor requests their payment.Could you please check why this happens?

HI,
Discuss with your MM Consultant, in MM there is a facility to block the invoice automatically in certain scenarios.
Thanks & Regards,

Return PO for a Blocked Vendor (Purchasing Block)

Hi,
We have an advanced returns functionality activated in our system. We have a requirement that we need to create a return PO (To be able to return goods) for a vendor for which we have a purchasing block. Means, We do not want to create any regular PO's. But, need to return goods with return PO.
Currently system is not allowing to create a Ret PO (Or any PO) if Vendor is blocked. But, we want to block other than Return PO.
Any suggession will be appreciated.

Vendor replication to multiple purchasing organizations in SRM

In R/3 we have extended vednors to multiple purchasing organizations. In SRM we want to keep the same structure. However, when we replicate vendors from R/3 to SRM, the vendor is only connected to one purchasing organization in SRM. Due to the amout of vendors we have, we do not want to extend vendors manually in SRM. Running BBP_GETVD for a second time does not work either. Has anybody any suggestions how to deal with this?
Ed Muhlradt

Hi
Refer to Web page transactions - Manage Business Partners ( or Instead of BBPSTART or BBPSC01, type the transaction - BBPMAININT ) in the SRM web page.
There, you can associate multiple purchase organizations to the same vendor.

Purchase block in purchasing data of BP

Hi all.
I have a block in the purchasing data of the BP transaction of one of my vendors, and the field is greyed out and cannot be changed. How can I unblock this vendor? The block is in the local purchasing organization, so I would suspect this block to be removed within the SRM, and not be running any vendor syncs with R/3.

Vendor deletion in SRM and ECC

Experts,
We are on SRM 5.0.ECS.,
I have read several threads on SDN but none talks about the actual steps of setting the flag for deletion of a vendor in ECC and then updating the chnages in SRM.
What are the steps for setting the deletion flag for vendor in ECC??DOes it need to be done throigh XK06?
Also once the flag is set in ECC,are the changes replicated through UPDVD??Also wha are the updates done on SRM side for that vendor??Is the deletion flag also set for the vendor or the vendor is directly dleted from SMR?????If so which tarnsaction can I check that??
After the vendor deletion happen on both ECC and SRM,what is the message which comes up when we try to create PO with this vendor in SRM?
Also before the vendor is deleted from both systems,is it necessary to close all the old documents(SC and PO) which has this vendor?
Thanks.

Hi,
What are the steps for setting the deletion flag for vendor in ECC??DOes it need to be done throigh XK06?
Yes it can be done by that tcode.
Also once the flag is set in ECC,are the changes replicated through UPDVD??Also wha are the updates done on SRM side for that vendor??Is the deletion flag also set for the vendor or the vendor is directly dleted from SMR?????If so which tarnsaction can I check that??
tcode : BP (Tab Control )
You will see central block for that vendor. If purchasing block is setup it can be seen in manage business partner tcode.
After the vendor deletion happen on both ECC and SRM,what is the message which comes up when we try to create PO with this vendor in SRM?
If central block is there it won't be available in search list. If still user manages to enter the vendor the system may throw up error message. Vendor is blocked for purchasing.
Also before the vendor is deleted from both systems,is it necessary to close all the old documents(SC and PO) which has this vendor?
Vendor is treated as business partner in the SRM. BUPA_TEST_DELETE is used to delete any vendor or business partner. The system itself will issue an error message that vendor can't be deleted. In R/3 its independent.
My suggestion is apart from deletion please select purchasing block.

Modify the output medium log for SRM Purchase order

Hi, I'm using a FM BBP_ECS_PO_OUT_BADI to modify the output medium of the SRM purchase order. Though it is displaying it in the header level output medium ( radio buttons )
the document output log holds the old value. Is there a way to modify/update the output log to hold the changed output medium?

Prasanna,
Is this to block the PO's being sent to vendors temporarily? We had similar requirement and we were able to do it by updating table BBPD_PO_METAOUT. SAP Note 659386 has more information on it.

Creation of vendor organization at all purchasing organization level

Dear Experts,
Our client is looking for a functionality to create a vendor which links the vendor to all the purchasing organizations (without manual extension) . In the org setp, the client has multiple company codes and purchasing organizations. What I understand is that ERP MM allows us to create a vendor only at purchasing organization (MK01) or company code level (XK 01).
Could you please advise how to create a vendor which is automatically applicable to all the purchasing organizations?
Here, the client is using the supplier registration functonality to register the vendors which on approval will get replicated to to the ERP MM system.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan
Ranjan Sutradhar

Hello,
You may define Purchase Organization as the reference Purchase Organization and assign all the purch. organizations to reference purch. organization. Then define Purchase view for the Vendors in Reference Purchase Organization using MK01.

Creation of purchase order automatically by taking purchase requesition

Hello Gurus
Is it possible to create purchase order automatically by taking purchase requesition no from sales order?
i checked in all the forms couldn't find any answer .
thank you in advance
regards
venkat

Hi Venkat,
When you save a sales order that contains one or more third-party items, the system automatically creates a purchase requisition in Purchasing. Each third-party item in a sales order automatically generates a corresponding purchase requisition item. During creation of the requisition, the system automatically determines a vendor for each requisition item. If a sales order item has more than one schedule line, the system creates a purchase requisition item for each schedule line.
Purchase orders are created from purchase requisitions in the usual way. But If you want the Purchase orders to be created automatically, then you should automate the creation of purchase order by creating a job or using workflow. Other wise to create a PO from PR use ME57. A third-party order is usually created referencing a third-party item in a purchase requisition. You can create purchase orders in this way individually or collectively. For Configuring Automatic PO kINDLY PLEASE LOOK into this.

Payment terms in Vendor Master data and purchasing info record

Hi, all, I met one trouble. While I create Purchase Order. In the header item, payment terms is automatically pop up from the data maintaining the vendor master data or purchasing info record if there is difference payment terms between in vendor master data and in purchasing info record. What happend?
Sometimes, When you create purchase order, payment terms is not automatically pop up even you maintained in the vendor master data or purchasing info record. Why? Is it meaning that I can manually to input payment terms while create each purchase order which can be difference data with vendor master data or purchase info record?
Thank you very much in advance,

Hi,
The payment terms is usually defaulted from either vendor master or purchasing master data record such as contract/outline agreement. Unless it is set through configuration that the payment terms be set as mandatory, any failure to maintain payment terms won't stop you from posting your PO as this information will only be useful during invoice receipt maintenance. Having said that if you are setting up your system with discount condition type as part of your PO pricing schema then it is necessary that the payment terms shall be maintained during PO creation.
Cheers,
HT
