Commitment issue

[Former Member]

I have a client (A) who is working together with a partner (B) who also has a SAP System. (Building a Plant)

What is happening is that Partner B is sending invoices to Client A.

Previously Client A would then create a Dummy PO in their system so that the correct commitments are displayed and that they wont exceed the budget specified in the system.

Now Client A is not allowed to create Dummy PO's anymore. (thus the commitments aren't correct and one can exceed the actual budget)

How can I get the commitments to now reflect on Client A's SAP System? Is there an interface that can be used to transfer these commitments from 1 SAP system to another? (B to A)

Can IDOC's be used? How will the commitments be assigned to the correct project from system B to A

Kind Regards

Hi Frikkie,

Here you can create interface for creating po through IDOC and we can see the all the committments in sap itself. create different project for this particular transaction.

Thanks for all the replies guys.

The client decided to do a manual action to both side of the system

An other Consultant suggested going the EPCM route. Where Partner B is given Authorization to Certain WBS elements within CLient A's SAP system. And purchase on behalf of Client A.

WOuld this work??? What would be the impact on this as I have never done this before?

Hi Frikkie,

I would suggest to explore the possibility of transaction KAFD.

Hi,

Please clear more your query. As I understood you want to copy commitments from one SAP server to another. If this is, I don't think it is possible. Data can be copied at client level only.

Hi Shishir,

Yes that is correct.

This is so the Budget on Client A is not exceeded due to commitments that are not accounted for due to the fact that these are on Partner B's SAP system.

Client A used to create dummy PO's to account for these commitments but are not allowed to do this anymore.

Is there some kind of interface one can create? or other work around or solution?
