What is Framework order and blanket PO

dear gurus,
kindly focus on what is Framework order and blanket PO ?
regards,
snb

Hi SNB,
Framework order (FO) is a document type which is provided by the standerd SAP.
It can be used for the consumable material ( Which is having low value & where making GR is not of worth like C category item.) & called as blanket PO. Here we need to mntion the validity period  & target value or quantity as a restriction as well as need to mention item category as a "b".
Also it can be used for the procurement of extarnal services (Item category "D" ). Here we need to do the entry of services which have been performed & need to accept the same whereas in blanket PO, GR is not required.
At the end i would tel u that Framework order is the document type which can be used as blanket Po  & procurement of services.
Reward if useful.
Regard,
Subhash

  • Blanket POs as a framework order and contracts

    Hello,
    In 6.0, could some tell me the difference between using a framework order (in ME21N ) and invoice planning  to create a blanket PO the same thing as using a contract...?

    Framework order is also known as Blanket PO.....which we use for the procurement of Low value Material with Long term planning....It is used as Mini Contract....
    For making Blanket PO....you have to choose Order type: FO in ME21N....with Item category "B"(Limit)
    For creating Blanket PO... You need not have to maintain material master.....Maintaining Acc.assignment Category in PO is mandatory....also you have to maintain Validity Period in Blanket PO...
    As per SAP Best Practice.....for Blanket PO, GR is not possible.....you can directly post multiple Invoices for One Blanket PO....The validity and total Value of these Invoices for Blanket PO during LIV can be controled by tollerance keys LA and LD.

  • Framework orders and item categories

    In looking at framework orders it would seem there are 2 item categories that would be valuable for my client, B and D.  In reviewing the configuration, I see the following differences.
    Item cat. B
    Material Required - Not Allowed
    Addit.Acct Assignment - Mandatory
    Inventory Management - Not Allowed
    GR indicator firm - Changeable in PO
    Invoice Receipt - PO Item Linked
    IR indicator - Firmed in PO
    Item cat. D
    Material Required - Not Allowed
    Addit.Acct Assignment - Mandatory
    Inventory Management - Possible
    GR - PO Item Linked
    GR indicator firm - Changeable in PO
    Invoice Receipt - PO Item Linked
    IR indicator - Firmed in PO
    What other differences are there between the two item categories?  I heard that one would default the quantity to 1 and removes the GR... Can anyone validate this?
    Also, I noticed when using a framework order, the validity date is not being checked where the system is allowing invoicing to occur past the validity date.  Is there some place in configuration that we can have this tolerance checked?  Please give details.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    In case of Item Category B, there is not GR in this case. And in case of Item Category D, you have to create Service Entry Sheet (it is must), which creates a GR document in the background.
    Refer Following links for the above;

  • Framework Orders - Overall Limit

    Hi SAP Experts!
    I have an issue with Framework Orders and more specific on the Fields
    "Expected Value" and "Overall Limit".
    Below is an example of the issue:
    I have an FO where the Expected Value is R$200.000,00 and the Overall
    Limit is 1.510.100,00.
    When it was released, the approval were done using the Expected Value and
    not the Overall Limit. If the approval was defined using Overall Limit it
    should be set up a diferent release strategy.
    I would like to know if there is any way to put an blockage on Overall
    Limit that does not accept value different of Expected  Value. Both
    values must be the same.
    Could you please help me with that?
    Kind Regards,
    Tâmara Oliveira.

    Logically if both expected and overall limit need to be same, then we dont need to have two different fields. Both fields have different purpose and it doesn't a best practise to make the system to equal overall limit and expected limit.
    Is it not a best way to change your release to pick the overall limit instead of expected value?

    Hello everyone,
    I have to create a report that contains all PO lines (from PO_LINES_ALL) and this report should only include the following document types: Standard purchase orders and Blanket purchase orders.
    Is there a field that identifies if a PO falls under one of these two types?
    Thanks!

  • Alerts for framework Order

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding framework order (or blanket order)
    When I crate an order which is a frame order -
    Does tha SAP have an option that I can define that when a 85% of the order is used/ only 15% is left
    I will get an e-mail Alert?

    Hi ,
    Thank you for your quick response.
    If understand correctly - If I want the system to send an alert when a framework orded value is about to expire, the SAP can send a massage to the buyer?
    Is it an option that is built-in in the SAP ? or does it takes development?

  • What is the diffrence between a blanket PO and a Framework order?

    What is the diffrence between a blanket PO and a Framework order?

    Hi
    You have to use document type Frame work order for Blanket PO.
    You can use blanket purchase orders to procure consumable materials or services for which it is not worth creating a separate purchase order for each procurement transaction. 
    Blanket purchase orders are usually valid for a longer period of time. You can directly post the invoices for the materials and services procured for this blanket purchase order.

  • Blanket Purchase Order and the Framework Order

    hi Gurus,
    I wanted to know the following.
    What is the difference between Blanket Purchase Order and the Framework Order.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Framework order is also known as Blanket PO.....which we use for the procurement of Low value Material with Long term planning....It is used as Mini Contract....
    Blanket Order:
    Used for long validity period and with the provided value limit. By its name u201Cblanketu201D which covers to required long time? We use doc type FO(for long period) and item cat. B(for value limit).Goods receipts or the entry and acceptance of services performed are not necessary in the case of a blanket PO and limit items. The invoices are posted directly with reference to the purchase order, provided that the specified value limit is not exceeded. But manual entry of invoiced amount and invoiced quantity is required during LIV process.
    Example: Procurement of stationary items.
    Frame work order:
    Framework order (FO) is a document type which is provided by the standerd SAP.
    It can be used for the consumable material ( Which is having low value & where making GR is not of worth like C category item.) & called as blanket PO. Here we need to mntion the validity period & target value or quantity as a restriction as well as need to mention item category as a "b".

  • Framework order/blanket order

    HI All,
    I need help about frame work order. Before writing this thread , I did lot of search for answer but I am not successful in finding resolution hence this post.
    I have created framework order; doc type FO. Item cat = B, For testing purpose , I entered validity dates as 21 nov and 22 nov in the PO. Now when I try to post invoice with invoice date (as well as posting date) as 11/23, system accepts without giving any error or warning about exceeding validity period. i.e. system is not stopping from posting invoice..! so what is the effect of validity dates on the invoice posting?
    Another important issue is that , in the invoice I am not able to enter invoice amount. For this issue I searched a lot but there is no statisfactory answer. I know very well that on the MIRO screen , I need to click on the account assignment button and enter the amount. However while entering this amount, system asks for G/L account which I can not enter as it is grayed out. So not sure how to enter invoice for the framework order. Is there any config settings?
    I did this testing after maintaining tolerance limits "LA-Amount of blanket purchase order" and "LD-Blanket PO time limit exceeded"  in the config. For LA key I set up upper limit as say 1%. For LD I am not sure what to put so I put 1 in check limit field.
    Please help me on this issue.
    Thanks,
    Ritesh

    Hi Ritesh,
       The Invoice for the Framework order should be posted same as we post invoice for other doc types.
    The Acct assignment should be entered at the time of invoice only if there is multiple acct assignemnet OR the acct assignment category U-Unknown is selected in the PO.
    The Tolerance limitis LA and LD will help you block the invoice for payment.

  • FO and blanket order with shceduling agreeement, distinction

    dear sirs,
    What is the difference between Blanket Purchase Order and the
    Framework Order.
    how the payment is beeing doen for the same 2 order
    with flow (along with Transaction cods)

    PO
    Create PR (ME51N) ->Create PO (ME21N/ME57/58/ME59N) -> GR (MIGO) -> Enter Invoice (MIRO)
    Blanket PO
    Create PO  (ME21N/ME57/58/ME59N) -> Enter Invoice (MIRO)
    A scheduling agreement is a different docuement type to a PO. 
    A SA is created in two steps.  First the agreement document is created which contains pricing and contract information such as
    Vendor
    Material
    Target Quantity
    Validity period
    A delivery schedule is then created automatically in a subsequent step by an MRP run when the materials source list references the SA agreement
    The delivery schedule is made of individual schedules lines representing demand for each item.

  • What is the use of Framework Order type purchase order ?

    what is the use of Framework Order type purchase order ? How it differs from other regular type?

    Hi,
    The document type of Framework Order is "FO" .The regular use of document type for purchase order is "NB".The use of "NB" and "FO" Document type in Purchase order  to differentiate the how your material behave or to have different different purchasing document.
    Example:Document type "NB" have to the process like Goods Receipt,inoice receipt & payment .In the case of Document type "FO" no Goods Receipt required but IR and payment  have to be done."FO"(Framework Order) only deals with low value item with validity period as well as the limits on value/price.
    Hope helpful to you and then reward.

  • When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in, but always the same album (which I nevr asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I control what is going on and choose the album myself.

    When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in aafter about ten minutes, but always the same album (which I never asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I choose a different album myself and control the order and format?

    Thank you Winston for a helpful response and for reminding me of something which I found nearly a year ago and then lost (in my mind) because I did not use it. I am grateful for a correct answer but it still only achieves part of what I wanted.
    I can now choose my photos, decide how long they stay on screen and choose one of a variety of presentations. Two things I still can't do.
    One is to get it to play the photos in the chronological order in which I have carefully set them in an album; it still tends to be random and repetitive. The other is that I cannot get any of them them to saty on screen for more than about 20 seconds. I guess this is all due to the way Apple TV is constructed.
    But still thanks, nevertheless.
