PO is not getting created in SRM for Local Material

[Former Member]

Hi

I have followed the SRM 210 Org Strcuture.

For Local Materials I am able to create a SC but its not creating the PO (follow on documents).

And I have one more problem when i am creating PO as Direct Material it says the Local POrg is not matching the Backend POrg. What could be the possible error....

I have maintained the Product responsibilities for both POrg as mentioned in TSRM 210 book. defined the backend PCategories.

Please let me know if you need any more details.

Thanks

Hi Jagan,

Try to empty the field corresponding purchasing group in tab function transaction PPOMA_BBP for responsible purchasing group. You still have to set check mark for purchasing group though, but don't fill the two fields next to it. You SHOULD NOT fill this fields with backend purchasing group since you're going to make a local PO.

Hi Iqbal,

I dint get you...but I havent assigned any purchasing group for local PGRP and I have checked the Pgroup and did the same to POrg also in the function tab.

I have assigned the product responsibilities.

for Local Product Categories ...Local System

and for Backend Product Categories ...backend system.

Please let me know if you need any more details.

Thanks

Hi Jagan,

Just to make sure we're talking the same language. Go to PPOMA_BBP and double click the responsible purchasing group (local PGRP?). Go to function tab and see field "Purchasing Group" in the last line. Is it checked? See the two fields next to it. Field "CorrespondsTo" and drop down menu where you choose the logical system, are they blank or filled? Pls let me know.

Hi Iqbal,

The check box for the Purchasing group is ticked(X) and not assigned to anything(left blank) for the local Pgrp.

Please let me know if you need any more details.

Thanks

Hi Jagan,

Please also check for purchasing org. It should be ticked but don't fill any fields next to it.

Hi Jagan,

I am also facing a similar problem. Local PO is not getting created in SRM. Only the shopping cart is created on executing Order in SRM client browser

Please let me know if you get a solution.

Thanks,

Hi,

Please give us error message stored either in bbp_pd transaction for your SC number or in the application monitor (trasanction RZ20 available also through web access with the admin role)

First questions are :

- did you maintain PO number range in SRM ?

- did you configure and activate workflow in SRM ?

If yes, which one ?

Kind regards,

Yann

Hi Yann,

I have defined the PO number range for all the case like Local PO, Direct Material PO and also for Backend PO.

Error Message when I go for Direct Material....as follows System RXXXXX800 of POrg O 500000613 differs frm target system SXXXXX200.

I have also defined the Product Responsibilities for local PORG and also for Backend PORG in ORG structure.

Local PORG :

P Category SourceSystem

001 R/3 Backend

Local1 SRM system

Backend PORG :

P Category SourceSystem

001 R/3 Backend

002 R/3 Backend

when i create a SC for Local Material no error message pops up. The transfer posting is not set to X.

coming to workflow I am using with out approval for shopping cart.

Please let me know if you need any more information.

Hi,

What is the status of your SC ?

You didn't tell me what was the error message for the SC without PO creation...

Kind regards,

Yann

[yann_bouillut]

Hi,

and what configuration do you have in "determine backend system by product category" ?

What is your scenario for your SC without PO creation ?

Kind regards

Yann

[Former Member]

Hi Yann,

Unfortunately there is no error message for shopping cart. I can see it as approved and the items in transfer status in bbp_pd.

And coming to Scenario I am determing the target system based on the product category.

<b>When I am choosing the direct material option its giving an error message as back Porg is not matching with Local Porg.</b>

For Local material I want the PO to be created in SRM and for the backend materials the PO to be created in Backend. But when I choose for the direct material it should create a PO in SRM for the backend Product.

Please let me know incase if you need any more information on this.

[yann_bouillut]

Hi,

Direct scenario through ECS scenario ?

If yes, without Direct material, are you able to make PO duplicated in R/3 ?

For direct scenario, in "determine backend system for product category" , you should have your backend system in the target system column.

Kind regards,

Yann

Hi Yann,

I havent activated the ECS check box yet. So now I am able to work as Classic Scenario for backend products. Like PO, GR and Invoice successfully and I can see the documents in SRM. But if I try to create a PO for local materials then the SC gets created and no PO appears in SRM and no error message to look for.

And coming to Direct material i have created a Transaction type, number range and assigend the transaction type to the attribute dp_attr...

And also I have maintained the product responsibility for local Pgrp for the back end product categories like 001 002 and also for local product categories local1 local2 local3

Please let me know incase if you need any furhter info....

Jagan

Hi,

How did you create your local category ? is it a replicated one or added manually in comm_hierarchy ?

In "define backend system for product category, please confirm that your local category is linked to your backend system (target system column).

Do you use '*' in any table ?

For the direct material issue you should have :

attribute dp_proc_ty = BSA value (much more easy)

attribute BSA for SRM = BSA for backend

attribute SYS for SRM = SYS for backend

Please confirm.

Kind regards,

Yann

Hi Yann,

Local Category is created manually in comm_hierarchy and even the local product is also created manually. Back Product categories and products are replicated.

In define backend system for product category I have defined like this

Category ID source system target system

• backend system name backend system name

local1 front end system name front end system name

I dint understand the following lines but i will give you what i have defined for those attributes...

<b>Confused statements:

attribute dp_proc_ty = BSA value (much more easy)

attribute BSA for SRM = BSA for backend

attribute SYS for SRM = SYS for backend</b>

and my explanation to the above said.

attribute dp_proc_ty = DP02 ( which i have created by copying ECDP) and have ensured that the number range and internal and external number is maintained perfectly in both( SRM and backend) systems.

BSA attribute is set to backendsystem/EC.

SYS attribute is set to Local System.

I have defined these attributes only once at the root organizational level.

Please let me know if you need any more further info...

Thanks

Jagan

[yann_bouillut]

Hi Jagan,

Your local1 product category must have your R/3 logical sytem in the "target column" !

For attribute dp_proc_ty , i do use the same doc type and number range as for non direct material purchase.

That is not mandatory at all but simplifies the configuration and the search of solution in case of issue...

Kind regards,

Yann

[Former Member]

Hi Yann,

I have tried the way you have suggested by definng the target system as backend for the local product category in backend determination for product category. But its of no use.

Thanks

Jagan

[yann_bouillut]

Hi,

It seems that your local product category creation in comm_hierachy is incorrect or incomplete.

If you have created it manually, you have to ensure that your local hierarchy is attached to the purchasing in transaction comm_prapplcat

Kind regards,

Yann

[Former Member]

Hi Yann,

In this transaction comm_prapplcat I have maintained the R3MATCLASS and R3PRODTYP.

Is there any thing else to be maintained in this tcode.

I Have one more doubt, when I am trying to create a PO with Local Product catergory and product, in the basic data view I can see the Local PGRP but the location tab is empty. What should be there in this location tab.

Thanks

Jagan

[yann_bouillut]

Hi,

You should have the backend location (= plant).

Kind regards,

Yann

[Former Member]

Hi Yann,

I have maintained at the org structure level. Is there any place that i do need to maintaing the plant.

Thanks

Jagan

[yann_bouillut]

Hi,

You can maintain it where you want but :

- not above the company code node

- in the extended tab attached to your backend logical system

the plant is not usefull with local scenario, thus my question is :

what sceanrio are you using really.

Please create a SC and check in bbp_pd that subtype is EP (extended classic scenario)

-> correction : sorry i did forget that you were not using ECS)

So please confirm me what subtype you have in your SC.

While selecting the local1, what scenario do you want to apply : local or classic ?

Kind regards,

Yann

Hi Yann,

Plant is maintained. And I am looking for local scenario as the product and and product category are belonges to the SRM.

Thanks

Jagan

[yann_bouillut]

Hi,

Ok.

What exactly did you maintain in the SPRO to make your local scenario work ?

(give exact content please or send me the document to my mailID)

Kind regards,

Yann

Hi,

What more details you are looking for...?

Thanks

Jagan

[yann_bouillut]

Hi,

Well i would like to see the detail configuration with print screens to be sure that your local configuration is well done.

Kind regards,

Yann
