Hi,

Service Process Cycle: -

1. ME21N - Create Service PO (With Item Category D and Account Assignment Category K )

2. ML81N - Create Service Entry Sheet w.r.t. Service PO

3. MIRO - LIV for Service Charges w.r.t. Service PO or Service Entry Sheet

For Service Process, refer following link;

hi,

SERVICES:

There are few concepts behind this...whenever a company is going have done there services like tube light changing, maintenance etc....then for this the very first thing what is req. is list from which a person will choose a service and will make a req. to document to get done the job....

So that list is SERVICE MASTER RECORD which is defined in AC01....

BOnce it is defined properly, then you make PO ie. service PO for which you want to get done few services....so you make the Service po from ME21N..

But here as we have not used the normal mtrl master record but instead we are using service master record...here pls donot enter the material number...just enter the short text and item cat D ( Services) by this all the neessary fields will get activated like service no., value limit etc...

Enter acc. assignment cat....and all other detaiils and save your PO....

Now make Service Entry sheet for all the services that are done....this is to be done from MIGO..

At last Pay for all the services by making IR doc from MIRO...

For more information the below link will be very usefull, pls check:

HI,

Find the details:

What is service PO ?

Service is an intangible material. Since services cannot be stored, a material master record of this material type does not contain inventory data or inventory management data. To map in SAP, when you procure service from ur vendor, we do maintain Service master and create purchase order to vendor mentioning Cost Object and Item Category (D). Service Master records(AC01)ESM is used when you procure "SERVICE" from your vendor.( Steps are: ME21N with Item Cat. "D" with Acc. Ass. Cat. "K" or "C", ML81N, MIRO & F-53).

Example: You want to paint your building and you given a contact to your vendor (Civil Contractor) and he charges square/ft basis. Now you know your total areas of building and create the Purchase Order to vendor stating that 10000 Square feet of quantity to be pained and $10 per Square feet. The total Purchase Oder Value is $100,000

Here how you “action” is painting and how you measure It??? So [ ]Painting[ ] is here Service material and total Service Material Cost is Rs. $100,000

What is the use?

Services are represented and managed in the SAP System as materials. Services are immaterial goods that differ from other goods, particularly in that their production and consumption coincide. Services are generally regarded as non-transportable and non-stockable. Typical services are commercial services, transport services, bank and insurance services, goods from cultural organizations and the mass media, as well as services provided by the public security forces or the education and health sectors.

What is the procedure to create the service PO?

When ur creating service PO(ME21N), u have to maintain item Catagory "D" and an account assignment catagory as per ur requirement(K or C). U can not enter ur material here only u have to maintain short text of material. Also u have to enter ur material group and plant .This is in item Overview details.

In the "Item Details" u enter your service master or activity number u created in Service master then quantities, gross price.

Steps are:

1) Maintain Item Category as D

2) Keep material code field blank.

3) Enter description of service & other fields in the PO Item Overview level. Press Enter.

4) System will prompt you to maintain services at Item Level. Maintain your service master number / service descrition & other fields (quantity / rate / account asignment such as cost center)

5) Save the PO.

Service entry sheets(SES),When your vendor provide service, you will entry in ML81N w.r.t. PO.You can have u201CNu201D number of SES w.r.t. PO. Next step is MIRO ,enter invoice w.r.t to SES and payment in F-53
