Plan driven does not work....

[yann_bouillut]

Hi,

My PDP is working well except for the following case :

Here is the flow :

1- SD create a sales order

2- From this sales order, SD generate a purchase requisition

3- This PR has an account category 'X' and an item category 'D" (direct sales)

4- BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER does not <u>select</u> this PR ...

I did not find so far any OSS note for this account category and item category combination...

Does anyone have any explanation ?

Kind regards,

Yann

Have you made the PDP setting

1.Creating the profile

2.Asigning the profile to p grp and material group.

only if this combination is there the data will get transferred.

Hi,

Yes PDP configuration is done and working.

Only for the combination written above, it does not work.

Hi Yann,

Have you checked tables V_T160PR and V_T160EX ?

Maybe your material group or purchasing group are not maintained...?

Kind Regards,

Marcin

Hi,

Tables are ok.

Once again, all configuration is ok

For SC with account assignment "K" : PDP is working

For SC with account assignment "X" and item category "D" (direct sale): PDP is not OK (no SC selected)

Kind regards,

Hi

I am not sure whether this will help. Have you checked following OSS notes ?

<b><u>Note 868192 - Consulting solution: SUS-MM (SUS-MMSRV) service procurement

Note 982871 - Consulting services: supplier integration in SRM

Note 940701 - Sourcing cockpit proposes items for which PO is created

Note 832393 Release Restrictions for SCM 5.0

Note 877811 Limit items not transferred from the back-end system

Note 36677 - Structure of components for customer messages

Note 841277 Limit items not created in the back-end system</u></b>

Hi

<b>Please ensure that following Settings are maintained in both SRM and R/3 systems.</b>

<u>These are Plan Driven Procurement - Prerequisites</u>

<b>SRM system settings

-

---

-> perform all steps for direct material

-> set up entry channel for external requirements

-> assing an RFC user for this entry channel

-> assign your local purchasing group as responsible for this channel

-> set up sourcing configuration</b>

<b>R/3 Backend settings

-

---

-> maintain tables V_T160EX and V_T160PR

-> make sure to have a RFC connection to the EBP system, with the same RFC user as in the entry channel (with SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW Profiles)

-> schedule report BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER to transfer the requisitions to EBP</b>

<u>After customizing the direct material, there are additional steps necessary:

-> Using an entry channel, the requisitions are transferred into EBP. This channel must have at least one

entry user.

-> Corresponding to this entry user, you have to set up a RFC connection from back end to EBP by using

this special RFC user.

-> To get the requisitions in the work list for purchase orders, or in sourcing, there is a local purchasing

group required with the responsibility for the entry channel and the product category of the back-end

requisitions.

-> Customizing of sourcing or a BADI decides if the sourcing transaction or the work list for purchase

orders will be used

-> View V_T160EX in the R/3 back end determines which material groups and purchasing groups are

grouped into a profile. View V_T160PR determines which profile targets to which RFC connection.

-> The transfer itself is carried out by the report BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER. These can be scheduled (for example, once a day.)</u>

<b>The grouping of materials can be done based on a customer specific logic. Try the BADI - BBP_BADI_EXTREQ_OUT as well.</b>

Incase this does not helps, Please raise an OSS message with SAP.

Hope this will help.

Please reward full points, incase it suits your requirements.

Hi,

I will open an OSS message and will let you know SAP answer...

Kind regards,

Hi Yann,

Sure. Do let me know.

[yann_bouillut]

Hi,

I didn't get SAP answer so far but i have found why :

1- the transfer date has to be <u>far ahead</u> from the delivery date : is there any MM configuration ?

2- Once point 1 is ok, the transfer is triggered but fails causing a dump in SRM for "SHIP_TO_ADDRESS_NOT_FOUND".

There is a delivery address in the PR transfered.

BUT, when CMMDA-KUNNR (customer number) is filled in the delivery address, the transfer fails.

The delivery address is taken from the customer number as this PR was generated from a sales order...

Still investigating....

Kind regards,

Yann

Hi

Have you made any logic for any of the BADIs in this case ? If yes, do let me know.

How you get to know all this. - by debugging or how ?

Please provide complete short dump details as well.

I will sincerely try to help you out.

Best Regards

This is interesting.

The typical third party scenario should work in SRM (normally - AA category 'X' and Item category 'S'). With SO-Item category TAS, this would be the result.

What is interesting in your case is - Item category 'D' (Direct sale). But, D normally is a service item. What is the item category in Saleorder ?

Best regards

[yann_bouillut]

Hi Ramki,

The sales order item category is a Z one, i am currently investigating the properties...

keep you update...

Kind regards,

Yann

[yann_bouillut]

Hi Atul,

No badi activated so far.

Kind regards,

Yann

[yann_bouillut]

Hi Ramki,

The sales item category seems to be a copy of TAS without price determination.

Kind regards,

Yann

[Ramki]

Is there any reply from SAP to your oss message ?

The other strange aspect is 'D'- this shd be 'service' PR. Am I right ?

Or did somebody change the representation of MM item category also ? Can you check in OLME-external representation of item categories ...what is the corresponding value for 5 ? Is it 'D' in your system ? Just for testing can you change it to 'S' and test again.

Best regards

Ramki

[yann_bouillut]

Hi Ramki,

Sorry for the confusion....in the language connection

Item category "D" in french logon equal to "S" in English logon !

Kind regards,

Yann

Ps : i have already created an OSS message but not solution so far...
