automatic requirement grouping : sourcing is never carried out

[Former Member]

Hi colleague,

We need advice ,

We wont to customize the sourcing product category that automatic requirement grouping : sourcing is never carried out ,

The system work that SC whit two lines will create tow POu2019S against the tow line. We want one PO create.

Should we need to activate more then report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED??? To solve the issue.

Hi Muthu

Thanks for the reply ,

The vendor & ship to address data are same in the two lines, also we want that the system will create one PO from SC . the RFX not relvent in this case.

But still there is to PO'S from One SC whit to lines. we want one PO.

But it looks like it is not enough to schedule one report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GRO, because the POu2019S create two seconds after SC approved.

Do you have any idea what to do ????

Regards

Hi GIl

these following discussions definetly helps you to understanding PO split.

eventually different organisation data, delivery date, order mentioned vendor, ship to address.. determines PO split.

plzsee extractthread from peter ..

the vendor is splitting criteria, so in case of different vendors, the follow-on document will be splitted. Please note, that in case of splitting the system compares the actual SC item only with the last SC item, and not all item is checked in one step.

Example:

Case 1)

You have a shopping cart:

1 pos: Vendor A

2 pos: Vendor A

3 pos: Vendor B

4 pos: Vendor B

-> There will be two POs created each with two items.

Case 2)

You have a shopping cart:

1 pos: Vendor A

2 pos: Vendor B

3 pos: Vendor A

4 pos: Vendor B

-> There will be four POs created each with one item, as the vendor is from item to item different.

You can change this behavior with BAdI. See the attached SDN topic above.

note 861889 regarding PO Split criteria.

Note 768164 - Multiple SCs via SoCo are processed incorrectly

Hi Gil,

sorry for late update. NO . NO. NO.

since

urpose

This report groups together requirement items to which a valid source of supply has been assigned (for grouping into purchase orders) and whose product category has been enabled for grouping (sourcing option in Customizing).

In cases where assignment is automatic, the system sets the requirement as Transferred to Grouping.

In cases where a source of supply is assigned manually, the purchaser has to choose the function Transfer to Grouping in the sourcing application for the requirements.

You should schedule this report periodically, and make sure that the report is run separately for each document type (purchase order, bid invitation).

1.the PO split criteria mainly vendor/ ship to address data .

2.If you want the system to automatically group requirements and create corresponding RFx documents, you must have done the following:

Scheduled report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED to run regularly for RFx

Selected the option Automatic Grouping and Creation of Bid Inv. w/o SOS for all categories for which you want automatic grouping of requirements and creation of RFx to apply. You make this setting in Customizing for SAP Supplier Relationship Management, under SRM Server Sourcing Define Sourcing for Product Categories.

this report you can schedule to create POs or Bidinvitation.
