Visibility of Inventory at Vendor Location using Inventory Overview Monitor

Hi All,
We have the following Business Requirement:
"Customer to have visibility of the inventory of the Location Product maintained at the Supplier Location. The inventory data will be sent by the supplier through EDI on a daily basis"
Note:
1. This is for a standard Purchasing process (not subcontracting).
2. The other scenarios involved are PO,ASN,Invoice & OFM.
We were planning to use the "Inventory Overview Monitor" functionality under SNI to achieve this functionality (Ref : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/en/f1/2f5642222fc553e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm)
Can anyone tell me what will be the
a. Master Data
b. Customization / Configurations on SNC system
c. Developments ( I think the B2B interface - mapping the EDI Inventory file to the ProductActivityNotification XML message is the only RICEF required)
required to use this functionality?
Thanks
Bharath

Hi All,
Has anyone come across a similar requirement before?
Any inputs regarding this requirement will be very helpful.
Thanks

  • Plants inventory at Vendor Location

    Hi All,
    This is something interesting I came to know from my client. Here is the current business process
    There is a vendor who we subcontract work to but all the parts are inventoried at the vendor location even before the contract work begins. Until then, the inventory is owned by the plant and the vendor need to cut a Purchase Order everytime they want to consume
    This can be well explained as an opposite scenario for vendor consignment. In vendor consignment scenario, plant stocks material that belongs to vendor and cut a PO when required to consume.
    Can someone please explain if you ever faced a scenario(underlined above) and how to deal with it in SAP?
    Thanks in Advance,
    MG

    Hi Sridhar,
    Thanks for replying. I didn't quite understand your answer. May be my question is not clear.
    There is only one plant and one vendor. This vendor is setup to do subcontracting work. But, the materials required for performing the work is already stocked at vendor's own site. This stock is owned by the plant not by the vendor.
    Once the plant gets a request to make a product from a customer, the materials stored at the vendor location are then sold to vendor (then those materials are owned by vendor and taken off the ledger in the plant).
    How can we set this up in SAP?
    Thanks,
    MG

  • How do we manage own stock stored at a vendors location?

    Hello all,
    We have a number of inventory items that we have purchased but due to the vendor maintaining optimum storage conditions we have stored at the vendor.
    This is sort of an opposite scenaro to the consignment process.
    Is there a way of holding valuated stock against a vendor ?
    - The obvious is a separate plant or storage location, but ideally we'd like to use the vendor number is a similar way to consigment stock only that the inventory would be valuated (and therefore paid for upfront and not on consumption).
    We'll likely incurr a cost to transfer from the vendor's site to our site which suggests a seperate plant is appropriate as a transfer PO could be used with a freight condition to get the correct material value at our site.
    All suggestions and comments welcome.
    thank you
    Steve.

    Steve,
    Check whether the below process will work for you.
    As Jurgen suggested store the Stock as SC stock (Subcontracting stock at vendor location). By doing so the Stocks will be stored under the vendor number (as prefrerred by you). In order to handle the transportation cost during the tranfer of stocks to own site use Subcontracting PO and in BOM/ componenets maintain the material as a recursive item. If required you can maintain it as a free item (as there is no actual subcontacting charges involved). By doing a GR for the Subcon PO you can receive the stock at your own site and the SC stock would get consumed. The transportation costs too will be handled appropraitely by given them as the Header condition in the Subcon PO.
    And as Jurgen indicated to optimize the process when the procurment is made for these materials the delivery address can be maintained as the Vendors addresss with the SC indicator checked.By doing so you can purchase and receive the Materials directly as SC stock.

  • Two vendor locations, one planning location

    Dear all,
    For several reasons we have two vendor location codes in our ECC-system representing the same location. In APO we want to treat both locations as one. So plan on one (main) location, only when interfacing with ECC we want to distinguish to the differrent parties.
    To achieve this in SNC we would use the business partner setup to combine both locations.
    Is this setup also available in APO?
    Can you combine two vendors into one Business Partner?
    And then still run deployment / heuristics / etc.
    Arjen

    Hi
    It may be too late to reply this.
    Just a thought, if you are sourcing from these vendors, in APO you can define quota rules (50:50) so that both the locations will be considered for receiving demand and subsequent planning in APO. You might need to test this.
    Thanks

  • APO vendor location number is not same as ECC vendor number.

    Hi Friends,
    I have an issue with CIFing Vendors from ECC to APO. ECC team has created Vendors ie Vendor numbers and Description.
    For Example I have vendor 10000101 in ECC and when I CIF it to APO using integration model I have no issues. The issue is when I check the CIFed vendor location exist in APO. Using 10000101 and location type 1011 if i try to search for vendor it say vendor does not exist. When I add two zeroes ie 0010000101 now I will be able to view the vendor details.  My query is I want to see the same vendor number ie ECC 10000101 (Vendor) in APO. Is there any setting that Iu2019m missing? I really appreciate if someone come up with answer.
    Regards
    KRN

    Hi Senthil ,
    Thank you for your reply. The steps you have mentioned here is for replicating the numbering format for materials. ECC<=>APO. I have  customized material numbering format using the lexicographical under SPRO>APO>Product>Output format of product number. This activity I have already done.
    My question was regarding the vendor number. When I CIF the vendor from ECC to APO. In ECC it does not have leading zeroes but when I see in APO it has leading zeroes. This is where I was wondering and want to know is there any customizing activity to replicate the same ECC vendor number in APO.
    Also I need to know if I have the leading zeroes vendor number in APO will it affect my SNP planning. Mean to say ECC without leading zeores and APO with leading zeroes.

  • Subcontracting material rejected at vendor location

    Hello,
    My client has sent material to subcontractor.he has created subcontracting challen with respect to material document.at vendor location two materials has rejected.How to reduce these materials in already issued challen.please do the needful.

  • Combine batches at vendor location (O stock)

    SCN Members,
    We have a requirement, where batches at vendor location ('O' stock) needs to be combined. Based on
    our investigation we could not find a movement type to combine batches at vendor location. 
    How to combine batches at vendor location ? Any inputs on given end, is much appreciated.
    Material
    Stock at Vendor loc. (O stock)
    Batch #
    Requirement
    Rubber
    5000 kg
    ABC123
    Move 2000 kg under batch XYZ789 to ABC123, resulting in moving total stock (7K) under batch ABC123
    2000 kg
    XYZ789

    Why 309 is not possible? We can use 309 O movement type to transfer the stock from one batch to another batch. In that case material and receiving material will be same.
    Here is the screen shot
    You just have to change the receiving batch..

  • Calculate Withholding taxes for VEndor Invoices using ABAP program.

    Hi All,
    I have to upload Vendor Invoices using FB60/Fb01 tcodes. I am able to post the Invoices using FB01/Fb60
    but I have to calculate extended withholding taxes also using this program for the Invoices.
    Is it possible to upload vendor Invoices and calculate withholding taxes using Program?
    If yes,
    Does anyone has any idea how do you calculate extended withholding taxes using any BAPI's?
    I have used these two BAPI's
    BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST
    BAPI_acc_invoice_receipt_post
    they are working fine but without withholding tax.

    Hi,
    Imho, you need to get (meaning, extract into separate fields) the different supplier types from Table1 first. Your key for Table1 is the vendor no, which is also the key in Table2 (or the key for Table2 is Vendor no & Type).
    For better performance, better select multiple/all required entries from Table1 instead of doing a select endselect.
    Depending on the format of the vendortypes in Table1, put them in a new itab (for our purpose named Table1New where vendor no & type are the only 2 fields. For example, if the type length is fixed to 2 chars, or divided by space,... use your coding accordingly.
    Next step is to select all vendor no's in Table2 which you have selected in Table1. If in Table2, the vendor no is the only key (and the all vendor types are filled in a single record), then loop check the vendor types from Table1New against the types in Table2.
    If the key of Table2 is vendor no & vendor type, then do a read table for the key.
    The logic in pseudo-code:
    Select from Table1 into table. If you'd like to limit the selection size, add package size statement.
         extract the vendor types in to itab Table1New.
         Select the vendor & types from Table2 by using the for all entries option (better performance).
         loop at Table1New
              check in Table2:
                   if the unique key is vendor no: check all fields for the vendor type from Table1New
                   if the unique key combo is vendor no & type: check by using a read table.
              If not found => add entry to Table2
         endloop.
    endselect Table1 (when using package size)
    I guess the most difficult step is to extract the types from Table1 into separate fields, all the rest seems straight forward. Please keep in mind the itab type definitions for a better performance.
    Good luck!
    Best regards,
    Zhou

  • How to get materials at vendor location created on APO

    Hi -
    I am working on a project to try to do some capacity planning/what if analysis on SNP for materials created at a vendor location ( contract manufacturer). We currently do not maintain master data for the capacity of these vendors but it is something that the planners know of and take into account outside of APO when trying to determine the quantities for a PO.
    We do not want to actually plan the items with PPMS, etc but are looking to at least get the materials created at the vendor location on APO. Can someone give me an idea of how we would do this via the CIF?
    Thanks for your help.

    Yes it is PPM user exit on APO side and will create when PPM is cifed from R/3.

    Hi,
    I am trying to post a vendor document using f-02, with posting key 29, with a special GL indicator. I need to input the trading partner data. However, I could not find the field under "more data". There was no "further data" selection. I was also not able to enter the trading partner via the path : Extras -> trading partner.
    Please advice how to pull out the field for trading partner for posting using special GL indicatior. I have checked the PK variant screen and the field status group variant ansd could not find the field trading partner.
    Thanks.
    Angel.

    Hi,
    already maintained in vend master data, OBA7, OBC4, OB41 were also maintained.
    But the thing is, the trading partner field did not appear on the posting screen. I was prompted with an message that trading partner is a required field as I have set it as mandatory. And the system ask me to input under "further data". But i cannot find that option. Neither can I find the trading partner field.
    Please assist.

    Hi,
       I think there is no BAPI for this, but can use FM ' FI_ITEMS_MASS_CHANGE '.
    In this FM pass field 'ZLSCH' to table IT_FLDTAB, w_bseg-ZLSCH = 'N'
    and pass your BSEG data to table IT_BUZTAB.  This will help
    Can refer to threat [Any BAPI for "FB02";
