[former_member595900]

Hi Experts,

Need help for following scenario

1) Raised PR for 100 Computers for Plant "A".

2) Created RFQ with ref to PR ( Plant flows in RFQ from PR in non-editable mode.

3) Want to create PO with ref. to RFQ for different different plant.

Here system is not allowing to change the plant other than RFQ.

Kindly revert.

Thanks in advance.

would not make much sense to me to allow a plant change.

Your vendor gave you a price based on the RFQ for a delivery to your plant in Mumbai and now you want change it to your plant in New York, for the same price.

Hi Juergen,

Thanks for your reply. You were right.

Now I came to know that the end user creates RFQ for qty which he wants to deliver for specific plant only e.g out of 100 if he wants 10 qty for Mumbai and 10 for New York so he will create two different RFQ for Mumbai and New York.

Now the requirement is user wants to change the Plant at RFQ level, which is unable to change.

So can you tell me how to change plant at RFQ level.

Thanks.

Create a new RFQ, you can not change plant if document is already posted.

Hi Jagdeep,

I did not get you exactly

I want to create multiple RFQ for multiple plant with ref to single PR only which is having single line item with single plant.

Thanks.

Hi Juergen,

Any suggestion from you.

Thanks.

Your process has not much logic, hence SAP has no straight solution for it.

A purchase requisition represents a requirement of a certain quantity for a certain period for a certain plant.

How can a buyer decide that this quantity is not needed in plant A and a part of it should be assigned to plant B. It is not a task of a buyer, it is something the planner has to do.

If the planner has just called the buyer, then he by-passed SAP, which could be a valid option if there was no PR.

So your buyer can either add a second item for plant B without PR reference, or your planner has to change the PR accordingly.

that a plant change is not possible is also noted in SAP note 1935289 - Error message 06730 - Outline agreement item and plant do not match up

atHi,

Changing plant not advisable in purchasing document and if any case, your plant is wrong- you can set deletion flag to that line item & save. Now enter a new line item in same purchasing document or create a new  create purchasing document with correct plant code.

Instead of trying for development with BADI- you can change your process.

1. Create contract without plant ( with purchasing organization)

2. Create PO from contract

Then you need two line items. one for plant a and other for plant b. You can not use same PR line item for plant A to create RFQ for plant B.

Create new PR or add new line item with plant B in existing PR.

Jagdeep,Thanks for your suggestion.

But, his is not one time activity. Its a regular process. We can not suggest the same.

May be using badi we can clear the plant in RFQ, I am working on it.

Thanks.

This is not possible as clearly pointed by everyone. You can new but with No reference but what you will do to your PR and RFQ... changing different does not make any business sense .. material requested for A plant.. quote got for A Plant ... now Order and delivery at B ??..

Other possible solution is - Create the PO on A plant .. receive in A plant.. then transfer the goods using STO or Goods movement process whichever is applicable in your case.

Hi Sandeep

The system won't allow you to change the plant in PO if you create a PO with reference to RFQ as those information are already entered in RFQ itself. Moreover if you have maintained the quotation against the RFQ then it the price is applicable for that plant.

So if you want to change the plant,

Create a PR with new plant, then RFQ and then refer this RFQ to create a PO  (or) Create a PO for the new plant without refering RFQ

Either you will have to reverse the process and change the PR , or create the PO without the reference of PR or RFQ. But in this case PR will remain open . \
