(VMI) Vendor Managed Inventory

Dear Gurus,
I'm new to MM. I need your expertise to enlighten me on the VMI process. We have a Supplier and we would like to implement VMI so that the materials are only created with PO and Invoiced at the time the materials are used for Production Consumption.
How do I set this up? What are the prerequisites?
Thanks experts!

Hi,
This can be mapped as vendor cosignment. Vendor places stock at your premices. You will do GR for the material, but no accounting docs get created. When the consumption of that material is done through GI or transfer posting from consignment to own throgh 411 K movemet type. The accounting will get trigger. In mrko we will do settle. One thing is there is no invoice. Only settlement periodically in MRKO.
The prerequisites are Material master vendor master PIR )infocategory as consignment, price should maintain), consignment PO(here price will be picked from PIR, NO invoice Tab, item category K), GR and MRKO. For each movemet type special stock indicator as K should be used.Thanking you.

Differ. VMI(Vendor Managed Inventory) and SMI(Supplier Managed Inventory)?

Hi all~
I'm beginner in SNC.
SNC have SMI scenario. But I think SNC-SMI is same as MM-VMI scenario.
SMI
======================================================
http://www50.sap.com/businessmaps/1D59B26B277611D5B359000102ACA9A3.htm
The SMI process is a supplier-driven replenishment and planning process, which is based on min/max stock balance levels, on current demand, in-transits and planned shipments.
======================================================
VMI
======================================================
[http://www50.sap.com/businessmaps/459B5C21A96411D3870B0000E820132C.htm|http://www50.sap.com/businessmaps/459B5C21A96411D3870B0000E820132C.htm]
With vendor managed inventory scenarios, manufacturers can offer their customers a value added service by performing the replenishment planning task for their business partners.
======================================================
Anyone can help to verify differ or same?
Thank you.
SKY.

Hello ,
To add to above two answers,in SNC supply chain is as follows.
SUPPLIER -
> MANUFACTURE -
> CUSTOMER
SNC as an aplication will be installed at Manufatcurer site.
Now if Supplier is managing inventory for manufacturer than it is SMI.In this case supplier will login into SNC ( hosted at Manufatcuring site ) and manage inventory.
If Manufacturer is managing inventory for CUSTOMER than it is VMI.
Basically SMI and VMI are mirror image of each other.
Hope it will help.

Vendor Management Inventory (VMI)

Hi All,
What is the Components of SCM 5.0? SCM Planning,SCM EXe,SCM Collaboration and SCM Co-ordination(EM,PM)
is right?
SCM is separate server or is it integrated with BI 7.O?
Please explain and if possible please post some links.
Thanks
KN

Hi,
The SAP help website would provide you adequate information. The licensing cost would vary depending on the components you would need from the mySAP Business suite, which comprises of all the modules you have listed beneath. BI 7.0 can be integrated to SCM 5.0 and can be hosted on the same server depening on the grunt of the box being used.

Vmi (vendor managed)- subcontracting problem VMI_PO_CREATE_FROM_ORDRSP_VMI

Hi can anybody help me to find a solution for my Problem with VMI_PO_CREATE_FROM_ORDRSP_VMI ?
I need to create an order with ORDERS05 - Ordrsp idoc,
but we recognized that it is only supported in the way to create positiontype 0 Normal order or positiontype 2 consignation...
for my process it is necessary to create it with positiontype 3 subcontracting ...
i tried to implement it like with consignation, but it seems as if the problem appears in BAPI_PO_CREATE.
Has anybody an idea ??#
Thanks for your help

Hi,
For those who will have the same problem related to passing the subcontract fields
The solution is to fill the table EXTENSIONIN : example :
STRUCTURE VALUEPART1 VALUEPART2
SERRU 1 00010
DISUB_SOBKZ "Q" 00010
DISUB_PSPNR "00000289" 00010
If it is not working try :
TYPES: BEGIN OF lty_ebelp,
ebelp TYPE ebelp,
END OF lty_ebelp.
TYPES BEGIN OF lty_adsub.
include TYPE lty_ebelp.
include TYPE disub_mepoitem_data.
TYPES END OF lty_adsub.
TYPES BEGIN OF lty_adsubx.
include TYPE lty_ebelp.
include TYPE disub_mepoitem_datax.
TYPES END OF lty_adsubx.
DATA: ls_extensionin TYPE bapiparex,
lt_extensionin TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF bapiparex,
ls_adsub TYPE lty_adsub,
ls_adsubx TYPE lty_adsubx.
ls_adsub-ebelp = '00010'.
ls_adsub-serru = '1'.
ls_adsub-disub_sobkz = 'B'.
ls_adsub-disub_pspnr = '00000289'.
MOVE ls_adsub TO ls_extensionin-valuepart1.
ls_extensionin-structure = cl_adsub_constants=>extin_po_struc.
APPEND ls_extensionin TO lt_extensionin.
ls_adsubx-ebelp = '00010'.
ls_adsubx-serru = 'X'.
ls_adsubx-disub_sobkz = 'X'.
ls_adsubx-disub_pspnr = 'X'.
MOVE ls_adsubx TO ls_extensionin-valuepart1.
ls_extensionin-structure = cl_adsub_constants=>extin_po_strucx.
APPEND ls_extensionin TO lt_extensionin.
So data structure LT_EXTENSIONIN will be used when calling BAPI_PO_CREATE1.
Note : The solution is explained in the SAP Note 1566153.

Stock transports of vendor consigned inventory

Hello. I have a question with regard to doing a stock transport order (from one plant to another) where the inventory is in vendor consigment stock. I have a stock determination rule set on both the materail and item category (NLN) but it appears I also need this set on the movement type 641 but transaction OMJT does not have this movement in the list.
Does anyone know if you can create a stock transport order for vendor consigned stock and do a delivery where by the stock is issued direct from the vendor consigned stock? If so, is there an OSS note that needs applied or how do i get this movement in transaction OMJT.
I am on version 4.0B of SAP.
Thanks. K.

1) SPRO > Materials Management > Inventory Management and Physical Inventory > Stock Determination > Define Strategies for Stock Determination (I guess this is already maintained, but please check it)
2) SPRO > Materials Management > Inventory Management and Physical Inventory > Stock Determination > Assign Stock Determination Rule in the Applications > Delivery (please assign the rule to your delivery type)
3) SPRO > Materials Management > Inventory Management and Physical Inventory > Stock Determination > Assign Stock Determination Rule in the Applications > Inventory Management (for mvt 641)
If you use WM:
SPRO > Materials Management > Inventory Management and Physical Inventory > Stock Determination > Assign Stock Determination Rule in the Applications > Warehouse Management
Please also assign the stock determination group to the suitable material masters (MARC-EPRIO; MM02 > "Plant data / stor. 2")

Vendor Management / Tracking the Product or Material

Hi Friends:
Is it possible to follow up on Vendor Management. the case study is as under :
In an organization, the customer has a problem with the product, & the organization offers Customer Service ( which may be mapped in CS Module), in-house repair & on site repair.
There is a case wherein the engineer from the service provider side ( organization) is not able to solve the problem & due to technical or lack of spare part or any other reason, the product / or its part is sent back to VENDOR either fo the Replacement or REPAIR of the product, and the customer does not know where is the product or its part is neither the service engineer s know, And when customer makes a call to enquire about his product, no one in the company has the answer asto where the product is either with the service provider or at the VENDOR site.
So, in order to track the product immediately... where can the same be tracked & which Module of ERP (R/3)? CS Module, MM Module or any other Module ?
Kindly Suggest & advice.
Regards, Pradeep

Hi,
As per your scenario, try these following steps:
1. Create the Service Notification
2. Create the Service Order based on notification
3. Based on analysis, either operation can be done internally (PM01 Control Key) or externally (PM02 Control Key)
4. PR would be generated for the External Operation
5. Components may be issued based on that order for the External Operation
So based on that document flow in notification, you can track the status of the service notification. Even you can define the tasks to be done for the service in the notification, so that, you can track that notification very well.

Maheswaran.

Vendor Management with Service Industry

Hello!!
I was wondering if you guys could tell me what SAP material types do your companies use for materials/services like warranties, software install, insert (product information/usage instructions/promotion printed, folded and inserted into the package with the product). I'm assuming that any labor costs, travel, etc. related to repair are DIEN. Do you use any other SAP material types for repairs?
I'm trying to figure out what would be the most suitable material types for above items.
Also How's the VEndor management comes in into the Service industry like IT Services.
Thanks in Advance!!!
Rajesh.M

Hi Rajesh,
As such for services, material type is DIEN, or may be without material number, but using the material groups...but for usage instrcutions/promotion material, material type will be NLAG or UNBW (Non-stock and Non-Valuated respectively).

ROS - SRM Vs, Vendor management -E-Sourcing

Hi all
How vendors are screened in e-Souricng in Vendor management arena. I learnt that e-sourcing too accept and manage vendors .
Supplier screening is very important in procurement busisness.
Is it like Registration of suppliers (ROS) in SRM?
Are after created a vendor in e-sourcing , will u push to ECC or SRM. How vendor data are sync with Backend systems like ECC /SRM.
really vendor data relate with accouting data will be stored in ECC. what about in e-sourcing.
since customer expect this functionality. ARe in e-sourcing can used for only Vendor management for large scale customers. for eg tomorrow DUN And BRADSHEET wanted to use Vendor management functionality via e-Sourcing. is it possible.
Any help is apprecited. I am Mostly interested How vendors are selected / what are the main factors are considered to accept a vendor .
Thanks
Muthu

Hi Muthu
Check out this note
1313088 Integration of SAP E-Sourcing 5.0/5.1 and SAP ERP
on page 2 and 3
Replication of SAP E-Sourcing Supplier to SAP ERP Vendor
This scenario supports the replication of suppliers that have been created in SAP E-Sourcing
for a sourcing event. Suppliers can be replicated back to SAP ERP individually on an asneeded
basis with user intervention.
When transmitting supplier master data from SAP E-Sourcing to SAP ERP, only external
number assignment is supported. This means that SAP E-Sourcing determines the supplier
number that is assigned to the vendor when it is created in SAP ERP. This is possible via SAP
E-Sourcing configuration mechanisms.
Internal number assignment in SAP ERP is not supported in the current integration package.
This means that SAP E-Sourcing does not allow a supplier to be published to SAP ERP when
internal number assignment is used. An error message is displayed in this case.
Linking is possible only through a manual process (that is, you must create the vendor in SAP
ERP manually and then link it to the SAP E-Sourcing supplier manually).
Supplier changes cannot be replicated from SAP E-Sourcing back to SAP ERP. Only the initial
creation of the supplier is supported.
The following basic SAP ERP vendor fields are supported:
SAP E-Sourcing Supplier Fields SAP ERP Vendor Fields......

How to manage Inventory

Hi All,
Is anyone tell me how to manage inventory by size and color in stock with same code. If you have solution then send me.
With Regards
Thanks
Bibha

Hi Bibha,
One code can only manage one kind of item. In you case, only if you don't care the differences between those sizes and colors, you may use one code.
Otherwise, you have to create different codes for each type to control inventory. You may use some kind of coding system to group the similar items.
Thanks,
Gordon

Managing Inventory

Hi All,
We are currently in the blueprint phase. Our client wants to manage inventory/stock at the truck level. Warehouse Management is out of scope already. Will it be feasible to define trucks as storage locations? There may be around 2500 trucks in the company. I know the number of transactions users will have to perform will increase like anything. For eg if a material is assigned to a work order, it has to be issued from the yard (Sloc) to a Truck (SLoc) first and then issued from truck to the work order. This will be one pain point. I just want you guys to share your ideas on will be it fine or not to define the trucks as storage locations or if you foresee some disaster which I am not able to figure out right now. Kindly suggest.
Warm Regards
VT

Hi,
It is possible to create trucks as storage locations, however if you think of it, number one you are not going to have real time when moving stocks in an out of trucks as that process will be performed by some at the head office.
Your stock will physically sit in-transit,however in sap sit in-transit refers to a different term,if you know what i mean.
I think before making a final decision discuss the above with the business.
Personally i dont think that is the best solution.Storage location should be a fixed location not mobile location,anyway that is my take.
Thanks
Silas
