Hi,

Pipeline procurement scenario come into picture,when ur customer using Natural Gas for the production process or surely using electricity for pwoer requirement.

Pipeline material is a material that flows directly into the production process from a pipeline (for example, oil), from a pipe (for example, tap water), or from another similar source (for example, electricity). A material from the pipeline is always available; i.e. it can be withdrawn from the pipeline at any time and in any quantity.

The Accounting Generated After GI/Settlement are:

1.Goods Issue

Consumption A/C: DR

A/c Payable For Pipeline : CR

2.Pipeline Settlement

A/c Payable For Pipeline : DR

Vendor Account A/C: CR

HI Jagdish,

in Pipeline process the Material will be flowing from Vendors premises to our Plant Premises Directly. We will be using the Service/Material directly.

Step 1: We will be making a agreement with the vendor for particular Quantity and In SAP we Map it in the form of Purchase info record.

After the Agreement is completed we will be directly Consuming the Material/service without Raising PO /GR

Step 2: We will be doing GI with 201 P,261 P or with other Movement types.

Step 3 : We will be Seteling the amount for the consumed quantity Through MRKO

We can use Pipeline process for Using of Liquids,Current ,Telephone Services and also Gases other scenarios were there will be no PO and GR.

Hi jagadeesh Kumar,

There is no Purchasing Transaction involved in Pipeline Scenario.

Here you have to only create Pipeline Purchase Info Record in ME11.

And then Pass consumption entry of material directly in MIGO (use Goods Issue > Others), use movement type 201 P or 261 P, etc... as required.

At this time GL will get determined from OBYC, from Account Key KON

And then go to MRKO - Pipeline Settlement.

Before that maintain condition record for output type "KONS" in MRM1

Invoice Verification will not be there and Settlements will be done thru MRKO Trxn code.

here Vendor a/c - cr

Pipeline consignment a/c - dr

HI,

A pipeline material is a material that flows directly into the production process from a pipeline (for example, oil), from a pipe (for example, tap water), or from another similar source (for example, electricity).

A material from the pipeline is always available; i.e. it can be withdrawn from the pipeline at any time and in any quantity.

Process:

1. Create a Pipeline material - You can choose any price control V / S - MM01

2. Create pipleline inforecord - ME11

3. Maintain source list if required - ME01

4. Posting Goods issue from pipeline - MIGO_GI (Movement types : 201 P, 261 P, 281 P, or 291 P)

5. Settling Pipeline liabilities - MRKO

You can also maintain condition records for message determination through tcode NACE

Thanks & Regards,
