Hey there,

If I understand your requirement correctly then yes you can do what you are trying to achieve through a framework order. I implemented a similar solution to this. Here are the high level steps:

• Create your FW Order as Rakesh has suggested above but we did not specify the maintenance order number in the FW Order. Please consult with the MM consultant for this.

• Once your FW Order is setup correctly create your maintenance order

• In the maintenance order we had multiple operations, some were external. For the external operation/s enter Material Group and Purchasing Group information, at this point you can reference the FW Order number too (the FW Order number entered here is more for a reference as far as I know).

• Enter your services including Quantity and Gross Price, etc.

• Then on the ‘Act. Data’ tab ‘Res.Pur. req.’ needs to be set to ‘Never’ otherwise it will generate a PR but you will be using a FW Order so no need for a PR. Note: We had an enhancement which set the Pur Req to 'Never' based on some criteria we had identified in a custom table e.g. work centre name. We also used the same development to auto populate the FW Order number as FW orders were maintained in a custom table with the validity dates.

• On the ‘Costs’ tab on the Maintenance Order you will see the ‘Planned Costs’ for the External Services, this should show the costs of services you have entered in above step. Note: this will depend on how you have your valuation categories setup and your services.

• Create the SES through ML81N, the Acct Assgt Cat. will be 'F Order' you can pull in the services for which you want to do the SES - on the popup window you can enter the Maintenance Order and Operation number in the Order field.

• Once you have followed through all the SES steps, etc. and it is accepted, the Cost of the SES will be reflected in the Maintenance Order as ‘Actual Cost’ for External Service. In EHP5 you can see costs at operation level.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Hello

Please Create Framework Order and maintain account assignment as "F".And Maintain work Order number in Framework order in account assignment TAB.

Try to do the the Service entry-sheet.Cost will be Reflected in Work Order also you may check the document Overview of work order.GR will be shown even you dont have PR  generated from work order.

Hello

Yes its correct, you will not able see planned cost.As you are bypassing PR in this case which is Linkage Between Work Order and PO Later GR.

I am considering it as offline scenario for procurement via Work Order
