Former Member — Thu, 05 May 2011 20:49:18 GMT

Hello all ,

We are facing an issue with the Limit PO is not getting transferred to Backend .

We are creating the limit shopping cart with option of Invoice only. So user is expecting do only the invoice and not the confirmations. We can also see Invoice receipt indicator only in BBP_PDPSET

But when PO gets created with ERS vendor, it will get creates with GR_IND, GR_BASEDIV, IR_IND and ERS indicators.

With the limit PO- confirmations u2013 PO is trying to create with the cateogory u201CDu201D in the backend . But we want the limit PO has to be get create with the cateogory u201CBu201D.

Could you please suggest us , how this can be reached ?

Thank s in advance .

Dear Baarati,

As per the standard system behavior in case of ECS, the item category for limit items is whether (D) or (B) is depended on the following header flags.

GR_IND

IR_IND

GR_BASEDIV

This check is determined at Include: LBBP_BD_DRIVER_46AF16

FORM Generate_bapi_srvitem

============================================================

check for limit without service items
for limit SC without GR required create blanked PO

IF iv_limits_for_package_exist EQ gc_yes AND

iv_services_for_package_exist EQ gc_no AND

iv_header-gr_ind EQ gc_no AND

iv_header-gr_basediv EQ gc_no AND

iv_header-ir_ind EQ gc_yes.

es_bapi_poitem-item_cat = '1'.

ELSE.

Item Type = 9

If you mention a Limit PO in SRM , this means you are creating a PO with ITM_TYPE = LIMI , without any PRODUCT_TYPE.

In this case , two Kinds of PO could be created in Backend :

1,In SRM PO ITM_TYPE = LIMI , GR_IND = Blank. in Backend system a framework order (Item category B) is created . It was also called limit PO in old MM release, but as of 470 it should be called as Framework order. It would be used for whatever small materials or servies

2,In SRM PO ITM_TYPE = LIMI , GR_IND = X. A Service order (Item category D) with a item limit tab is created. It could be used for services not yet decided till a service entry sheet with a detailed description is created .

I hope this helps,

Kind Regards,

Lisa

Hi Lisa

Thanks for you inputs .

Limit PO with the confirmation Indicators u2013 PO will get create with cateogory u201CDu201D in the backend

But we want in all the cases limit PO has to be get create with the category u201CBu201D.

So PO should not have GR_IND . When we are creating limit PO with the ERS vendor , GR_IND are getting checked from vendor master data. So PO is getting create with GR_IND and trying to transfere it to cateogory u201CDu201D.

I tried to clear the GR_indicator in the DOC_CHANGE_BADI . Its working

fine while changing the PO .

We were able to clear the indicator which changing PO (after PO gets created)

But same is not happening while creating the PO . Even the BADI code clearing the gr_ind , somewhere in the standard code program is trying to map gr indicators from vendor master data base as it is ERS vendor.

Could you please suggest us , how this can be reached ?

Thank you ,

Bharathi

Dear Bharathi,

Please check out the BADI BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW or BBP_ECS_PO_OUT_BADI.

The behaviour you are experiencing is standard system behaviour so a BADI should be used to make these changes to the PO data for the backend PO creation.

I hope this helps,

Kind Regards,
