Problem in Purchase Requisition Creation

Dear Experts:
We are facing a problem while purchase requisition creation. We have created an Internal order No. 600406 and an Asset in Company Code AB01 but while creation of Purchase Requisition level when we are selection that Order and Asset in Purchase Requisition system automatically changing my Order no. 600020 instead of 600406. I've checked OKB9 where Order no. maintained as 600020 against Company code AB01 which I deleted and save but after that Purchase requisition asking for Order Number that means we have to maintain Order number in OKB9. Now can you please advise how can we get my current order number in requisition instead of any default number.
Thanks in advance and your kind suggestion is highly appreciated.
Best Regards.

No Subcontracting Purchase requisition creation

Hello everybody,
I have a strange system behavior : the external purchase requisition creation at Production order type level (AFVG-AUDISP) is set to "3", so I want that the system always create automatically the related purchase requisition.
It randomly happens that certain number of production order are created without purchase requisitions, and into the external operation the system "automatically" move the external purchase requisition creation to "1".
Looking into the OSS notes I found the note 1493286, unfortunately there is inside just a workaround and I am not able to reproduce the behavior.
I know that the value "1" is placed because the system is not able to create the Purch Req, but I am not able to find the real reasons in order to remove them.
We are speaking about "kanban" order creation... is there someone that had similar problems ?
Could you please help me ?
Thanks
Salvatore Testa

Creating (ME51N) is not changing, hence you dont have change documents in CDHDR and CDPOS.
And the table EBAN just has a creation date, but not creation time.
SAP is probably the opinion that the creation time of a requistion is not needed for an ERP process.
(Adding a new item to an existing requisition is a change and will update CDHDR)

Purchase Requisition Creation From Release

Dear PM Gurus,
For Manual material availability Check to work before release, the Purchase Requisition check is to be set to Immediately in SPRO-> Define Change Docs and Collective PR or Activating Pr from Now On from Maintenance Order. The issue is that I want to restrict the creation of Purchase Requisition to Release of Maintenance Order but what is happening is upon saving the Maintenance Order, the PRs for all non stock materials are created and I also want the manual availability check to work before release.
Simplifying above details:
I want Manual material availability check to work and PR generation from release both in my Maintenance Order to work..
Regards..

Hi DP Singh,
I had seen the configuration settings that you are telling me but you see the Problem is:
If in Define Change Docs, Collective Purc. Req. Indicator, Operation No. Interval, you define the Res/PReq Indicator as Immediately, then the Manual Material Availability Check would work accurately but upon saving the Order, System would generate the Purchase Requisition.
and If in Define Change Docs, Collective Purc. Req. Indicator, Operation No. Interval, you define the Res/Preq Indicator as From Release, then the Manual Material Availability Check would not work as no material is as such MRP relevant till the time of releasing the Order but the Purchase Requisition would be created only when the Order is released.
Now What I want is both the Manual Availability Check to work and Purchase Requisition Creation From Release, but this is not possible according to the Standard SAP System. A workaround could be that I configure the automatic material availability upon release and configure the Res/Preq indicator as From Release, that way the material availability would be checked when the order is released and Purchase Requisitions would also be created from Release but still the Manual Availability Check would not work.
The Ideal Solution should have been configuring the Res/Purchase Requisition Indicator for all Non Stock Materials to be From Release and the Res/ Purchase Requisition Indicator for all Stock Materials to be Immediately. This way your manual availability Check would work for all Stock Materials and Purchase Requisition for all Non Stock materials would only be created upon Release. But this But still this is an ideal solution not the actual solution for standard SAP does not give you the flexibility to do such a setting in customizing or using Enhancement.
The Work Around Solution given by SAP is as follows: The system provides the following workaround:
After you change the indicator for materials planning-relevance to
"immediately" you can execute the availability check as required. You must
not save the order or network.

Materials available only for Purchase requisition creation

Hi Experts,
My client wants some materials available only for Purchase requisition creation and some materials donu2019t want available only for Purchase requisition creation.
How we can control
Thanks in advance,
Chandhu

1) Solve your issue first you have to bifurcate between the materials where requisition is possible & where not...u can do this by selecting some field which is not in use presently in material master-basic data view & maintain some unique value for those materials for which PR will be not possible....otherwise check whether you can bifurcate it through material groups or not...
After this take help of your ABAP person and implement BAdI::ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST...here use the logic that after user enters the material code in PR system will check in the background what has been maintained in the said field in the basic data view of the material...if found blank then it will allow the user process further or if found any data in that field then system will stop the user from processing the same by throwing some customized error message.
2) Use the Plant-sp.matl status in purchasing view as Blocked for procment/whse for those material against which you don't want to create any PR.But this will be plant specific and both PR & PO will get blocked.

Indranil

Re: Purchase REquisition creation with ref to SAles Order

Hi All,
I need help on an issue.
I have sales order creation and when saving Purchase REq is created at the back end. But for the sales order for item category n schedule line category combination does not allow creation of Pur Req. n pur req no. is not dislayed in Sales order.
But I have Pur Rq created with ref to sales order.
How is it possible.
In Pur req I checked the creation indiacotr, it is with ref to sales order.not manually.
Can you please help it out..
Regards,
Smitha

Hi,
Purchase Requisition creation from Sales Order is dependent on the configuration of Schedule line category not Item category. Check configuration of Schedule line category in VOV6.
Also to see the PR No in Sales Order, double click on the Sales line item and click on the "Purchase Requisition" button under "Schedule Lines" Tab.

SRM Workflow for external Purchase requisitions ECC

Dear experts,
We are in SRM 7 Classic scenario , ECC 6. Using SRM process controlled workflow . We want to enable SRM workflow for external Purchase requisitions. As per SAP note 505030 topic 16 , approval is not triggered in SRM for external requirements. So we need to find a new solution as it's a clinet requirement.
Current scenario:
External purchase requisition created from ME51N or Plant maintenance are sent to SOCO for buyer completion. External PRs generate a SC BUS2121 EXTR in status approved.
Desired scenario:
We want those external requirements to be sent to SRM for approval (approval with completion + approval)
After implementing changes suggested in Prasannau2019s document (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/5082a622-7310-2c10-1a9b-ef31dd69a770 ) , the Workflow is still not triggered for the external PRs, the SC is created but remains in status awaiting approval. No work item is created (neither in BBP_PD not in SWI6, not in SWIA).
Can anyone provide some guidance on what else need to be changed in order to activate SRM Workflow for external PRs?
Many thanks in advance,
Nuria
Edited by: NuriaUB on Dec 28, 2011 5:14 PM

Hi Any one got answere this issue. I also implemented the steps provided in the document created by Prasannau2019s. The workflow is getting triggered for external requisitions now but when we are changing the PR in ECC and transferring again that time its not gettign triggered neighther its restarting the exisiting approval workflow in process (if any).

Item category determination during Purchase Requisition creation from APO

Im creating a SNP Purchase Requisition in APO and when it is published to R/3, a Purchase Requisition document is created in R/3.
When this PR is created in R/3, I want the Item Category to be determined based on the Material master Special Procurement Type. ( eg: Id like the Item category to be L if the Material master Special Procurement Type = 30 (Subcontracting) ). But by standard, this field is coming as Blank and this field could only be populated during the creation from APO.
I found a user exit ( CIFPUR02 : Enhancement of Purchase Order Interface (Inbound) ) on R/3 where I tried to populate the Item Category, but when I do this, all the purchase order related data is getting deleted and hence no PRs are getting created in R/3.
Could anyone please tell me if this could be resolved using configuration and if not any tips to do this technically would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Harsha

Hi Karun,
This is the code i'm using...
select single * from marc into lit_marc
where matnr = c_eban-matnr
and    werks = c_eban-werks.
append lit_marc.
read table lit_marc with key matnr = c_eban-matnr
                             werks = c_eban-werks
                             sobsl = 30.
if sy-subrc = 0.
c_eban-pstyp = '3'.
endif.
Here sobsl = 30 is the Special procurement type
But when i try to populate c_eban-pstyp = '3', during the creation of Purchase Requisitions in R/3, in the program SAPLEMPI -> LMEPIF01
this condition is encountered which deletes all the data in the tables that is used to create Purchase requisitions.
<i>* get rsnum in the case of subcontracting
      IF XEBAN-PSTYP EQ PSTYP-LOHN AND                      "RB240999
         EXITFLAG_ORDID IS INITIAL.                         "RB240999
refresh all component tables
        CALL FUNCTION 'ME_COMPONENTS_REFRESH'
             EXCEPTIONS
                  OTHERS = 1.</i>
Could you please suggest me anything to get around this.
Thanks,

Purchase requisition creation (STO) from Sales order

Hi Gurus,
Read the following scenario:
Sales order is created with delivery plant A. No stock on plant A.
Purchase requisition is created from plant B to plant A (intra-company flow or stock transfer order).
Problem is that the purchase requisition needs a price. It is not logical because intra-company flow (stock transfer in same company flow) is like a stock transfer without purchasing. So in my mind, I don't have to maintain price.
Also if I use ME27 to create manually STO between both plants, price is not asked.
Other question is: is it possible to create directly a purchase order when sales order creation (and not purchase requisition, newt convert into PO)?
Many thanks.
Stéphane

Hi Stéphane Vituret, Did you manage to find a solution for this. I have a similar problem as well.
Please find the scenario below.
Cusotmer places order of Mat-XX to Company A. The Company A creates PO to Company B. Company B delivers to Company A and then invoices Company A. Company A receives the goods into own stocks. Now the Company A delivers to the customer from its own stocks and then invoices Customer.
I decide to go ahead with the Individual Purchase order solution and since the Company A is buying from Comapny B, I decided to integrate the Cross Company STO flow in the procurement part. Hence the flow in SAP is like;
Cusotmer placese order to Company A
Comapny A creates a Individual Purchase order type Sales order. So the Item category is TAB.
This sales order generates a PR. PR is conveted into a CC_STO as thenvendor is Plant B in this case . Now this STO appears in the delivery due list of plant B.
Now I genreate the delivery to move stocks from plant B(of co.cd B) to Plant A(of co.cd A).
Here is the problem. I am not able to do PGI as the system checks for "sales order" stock at plant B and throws error
"Sales order stock 36637 000010 does not exist". This should not be the case as the stocks should get attached to the sales order only when recieved into Plant A. Hence system should not check for "sales order stock" at plantB while trying to deliver from Plant B to Plant A.
Lets take a normal IPO scenario.
CusotmerA places order of Mat-A to Company A. This sales order generates a PR. The Company A converts the PR into a std.PO to external vendor. The PO from the sales order will have a account assignment "M- Ind. cust. w/o KD-CO". The stocks will be received into Plant with spl indicator "E" while GR (MIGO). Now the system ensures that this stock can only be delivered against the particular sales order. Thus the stock procured for the customerA is delivered to customerA and not consumed by anybody else. In this case there is only one delivery involved, in SAP, which is 601 mvmt type from the Plant A.
However if the vendor becomes another Plant (Plant B) belonging to another company code then there are two deliveries involved in the SAP system one with mvmt type 643, from Plant B to Pant A, and the second with 601 from Plant A to the customer. Hence the system should check if the stocks are attached with a spl indicator only during the second delivery of 601 mvmt type. I am facing a problem because the system does it for the first delivery itself. If you know the answer please do let me know. I really appreciate it. Thanks a lot in advance.

Workflow for MM purchase Requisition steps required

Dear all,
        I am trying to configure purchase requisition Workflow.
        I am working with Work flow, WS 00000038
        I have assigned agents to TS 20000162
        Now how to proceed further, do i need to maintain some more settings
        or i should try to test system.
        Regards,
        Gaurav sood

Under the assumption that things have not changed much since 4.70, here's quick introduction:
The workflow is started only when a relevant release strategy is found, so customizing of release strategies is a very important (first) step here.
In the Implementation Guide you find the customizing in the following path:
Materials Management
-- Purchasing
-- -- Purchase Requisition
-- -- -- Release Procedure
-- -- -- -- Procedure with Classification
Only the procedures with classification are relevant if you want to use workflow to notify about requisitions waiting for release.
First you must set up a classification class if that has not already been done. Derive your characteristics from the structure CEBAN. The online help is not too bad, I had never set up classifications before and managed to get it working.
If you need data that are not available in CEBAN, or you want to modify them for the purpose of determining the release strategy there is an enhancement you can implement, and there are customer fields you can use. The enhancement definition's name is M06B0002.
As an example of what you can do, I have used it to set the company code in one of the customer fields, and to change the account assignment type. However, whether you need this enhancement or not depends strongly on what data you use to determine your release procedures (a step in customizing you will get to later).
When that is done you define release groups and release codes. Release codes are defined within each release group. Whether you should use one group or several groups is often a matter of choice.
I myself prefer using several groups even if I don't have to, so long as it doesn't lead to having to define duplicate release strategies (which you will soon get to). So, if there is some characteristic that clearly separates your release strategies, e.g. the highest amount that does NOT require release etc, you can define one group for each value (group) of this characteristic.
For instance, if some company codes require release for everything worth more than 100EUR while the default is to require release from 10.000EUR you could create to release groups. None of your release strategies will be duplicates since the value from which release is required will be different and you thus need to have that as a characteristic.
You then check that the set-up of release indicators is OK, and then you are ready to start defining the strategies. Release stragies are defined within each release group, and use one or more release codes (two or more release indicators).
It is fairly self-explanatory once you get into the screens. The thing to be observant about is to not define overlapping strategies, as this will prevent the solution from working.
When you are done, and have tested the solution in DEV it is time to transport it to the QA system. That's when I got a rather unpleasant surprise. The classification data are not transported, so both the characteristics and class, as well as the classification data in each release strategy had to be redefined. And in roughly two hours I have to do it again in production.
It is possible to transport classification information, it is described in SAP OSS Notes (different solutions for different versions).

ENABLE SRM WORKFLOW FOR EXTERNAL PURCHASE REQUISITIONS

Hi,
Iu2019m creating a shopping cart using an external approver. We require external requisition to be completed by the purchasibg manager.
The changes were implemented as outlined in the document
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/5082a622-7310-2c10-1a9b-ef31dd69a770
I create the purchase req in the external system and the transfer the requisition to SRM. A shopping cart is then created. This shopping cart goes to the purchasing manager for completion. Upon completion by purchasing manager, a message appears to say 'External requisitions do not require an approval process' and
the workitem remains in their inbox.
This workflow processed correctly for normal shopping carts. I canu2019t understand why it does work for external purchasing requisitions.
thanks
Ann

Hi Any one got answere this issue. I also implemented the steps provided in the document created by Prasannau2019s. The workflow is getting triggered for external requisitions now but when we are changing the PR in ECC and transferring again that time its not gettign triggered neighther its restarting the exisiting approval workflow in process (if any).

Hi Guido,
It does exist in ECC60 !
However, maybe your release backend does not have it....

Purchase Requisition creation time?

Hi,
Does anybody know how to see at what time was a Purchase requisition created?
There is the creation date in EBAN table (EBAN-BADAT), but i need to know the creation time as well.
Many thanks,
Marc

Hi,
I'm sure creations are stored in CDHDR and CDPOS tables (CDHDR-CHANGE_IND=I) but I can not find out how to enter the table for the purchase requisitions. For Purchase Orders I can enter both tables with CDHDR-OBJECTID=PO number but this doesn't work for Purchase requisitions.
On the other hand, in me53n in environment-item changes, the creation data is not stored.
Any further suggestions?
Thanks,
Marc

Purchase requisition creation date ...

Our auditor want to know the creation date of purchase requisition ,
i have check table CDHDR ... using Object value <PR NUMBER> and using BANF, it only display change history only ... where can i find creation date of PR ?

Hi,
It is incorrect that CDHDR is only used for PO. It is used for all purchasing document changes.
Hi,
The creation date of PR is seen in EBAN-BADAT field.
