Incoterms and Shipping/Delivery Instructions Use Incoterms Incoterms are internationally-recognized terms of delivery reflecting the standards set by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). For example, the term Free on Board (FOB) means that seller fulfills his obligation to deliver when the goods have passed over the ships rail at the named port of shipment. This means that the buyer has to bear all costs and risks of loss of or damage to the goods from that point. You can specify Incoterms for an order item that differ from those in the PO header. The relevant defaults come from the purchasing info record. When the document is outputted, the item-specific Incoterms are set out in addition to the generally applicable ones at header level. Shipping Instructions These are the packing instructions the vendor has to comply with when shipping the ordered materials. You specify them for an item by entering the predefined code for shipping instructions. The corresponding text is then included in the purchasing document printout. Delivery Instructions You enter delivery instructions as either header or item text:

Can any one tell me what is MM closing and what is FI closing? How can I know if period is closed? MM closing means that you can not post materials document. In MM area you have two open periods current and previous. If you do not set other in MMRV - here you can check which are the open MM periods for company code. If you check Allow posting to previous period - it will forbid MM posting in previous period. FI open period (ob52) allow to post FI documents. As I know you can allow postings for some accounts - for example forbid material accounts for previous period in order to prevent MM posting until you finish all FI documents. *--Monika Hubanova Related:

How to add an attachment to a Purchase Order in SAP? You can attach manually any document to PO without using Document Management System ( DMS ) in SAP 4.6C. But you cannot attach document while you create PO in T/Code ME21N Save you PO ( ME21N ) and again open with change ( ME22N ) then you can attach document through Service for Object button. Service for Object button available down side of Command screen ( in your PO screen ME22N ) Click your Service Object button -> Create -> Create attachment then select your window directory ( which file you need to attach) select your file Now your system shows message Service "Create attachment" is started. Save again your PO. You can see (open) your attachment in same field ( Service for Object ) select and Create and check attachment list. You can attach as many document in your PO. Note: This is only information for internal or you can print separately this document for sending to vendor ( fax ) System will not print automatically along PO print out.

I have two issues: 1) Auto P.O.: In MMR & Vendor Master Record (Control data) I have checked 'Auto PO'....I have created the Purchase Req for the Material.....Now I want to know how the automatic PO will come into force...I mean what steps to do after creating PReq. 2) Source List: I have checked 'Source List' In Purchasing view of MMR...Have two vendors for this material for which source list is also maintained(ME01)....While creating PO..the system takes by default the first vendor....I tried to assign the second vendor (made sure that validity period are in range)..but couldn't do so...Can you suggest how the system will tell me to select one of the vendor I want to assign to the PO. 1. For Auto PO , yo should proceed as follows: * Auto P.O.: In MMR & Vendor Master Record - checked(MM02/XK02) * Maintain Source List & select the indicator for source list record as MRP relevent.(ME01) * If more than one source list records are generated, make one of them as fixed. * Run MRP , the PR's generated will be pre assigned with the source of supply.(MD01) * Enter T Code ME59 for automatically creating PO's from PR's. 2.* Check if the assigned Source in PR is not fixed in Source List. * Check if the info record for source not assigned, is having valid conditions. Why system giving me only warning message instead of error message when I am trying to make GR with a material which already tick for deletion flag. Is there any configuration mistake ? Through OMCQ , set message no M7 430 for error. When I want to settle Framework order. On Information Text, I had a message "Invoicing plan: No message was found for partner 100454/company code 2000" I had investigate that error on message determination and still the error occurs. Maybe I miss the setting in message determination. Can you tell me how to set Framework order Settlement message determination.

According to SAP Notes, when an invoicing plan is settled, you can create a document/e-mail or etc to notify your supplier or internal personnel. The IMG setting (SAP 4.7) can be set in Material Mgmt --> Logistic Invoice Verification --> Message determination. Another way is if the creation of these docs are not required, turn off the message by setting the message display from 'Error' to 'Information'. The IMG setting can be set in Material Mgmt --> Logistic Invoice Verification --> Define Attributes of System Messages. This is what I did on my side. Have any one you done this in IM: Inactivating the standard Movement Types. Say for eg. I don't want to end user to use this MType 501Receipt without ref to PO. I don't want to delete this movement type, being an SAP standard one. One option what I thought of is to control in the authorisation profile, profile to exclued selected movement types. Is there any other way we can do this? You can delete the accounts assignments which are used for 501 movement type, in T030 table. Transaction code is OBYC. or 1. Use transaction OMJJ 2. Enter movement type 501 3. Remove MB01 from allowed transactions

FK05 - Blocks vendor for posting/paying but allows PO's to be placed. XK05 - Allows choice of blocking for both posting/paying and/or blocking PO's from being placed and lastly, MK05 - Blocks Po's from being placed but allows posting and payment runs.

: What are different MRP types? The different types of planning procedures are 1. MPS - Master Production Scheduling 2. MRP - Material Requirements planning 3. Consumption based planning - (there are two types) i) Forecast based planning

ii) Reorder point planning a) Manual Reorder point planning b) Automatic reorder point planning Explain how the MRP type works. MRP Type The MRP type is a key that controls the MRP procedure to be used for planning a material. The MRP type belongs to the plant-specific data (in other words, the MRP area data of a material). The MRP type controls which planning parameters must or can be entered when maintaining the material master record. You can customize the parameters of the MRP types delivered with SAP R/3 according to your own requirements. You can also add new MRP types.

How to create storage location for MRP area? To create storage location MRP area, do the following steps: 1. Create MRP area by SPRO -> MRP -> Master data -> MRP area -> Define MRP area. Select MRP type 02 - storage location

2. Define scope of planning by tcode OM0E Insert your Plant. 3. In MM02 assign MRP area in MRP1 view. 4. In SPRO -> Define parallel processing in MRP. 5. While MRP run select parallel processing in the initial screen. What exactly is the use of transaction code OM0E? In scope of planning you can define 1. Several plants 2. For One MRP area 3. Plant with MRP area 4. Several MRP area. If you want to run MRP for a plant, you can enter a plant as normal. But if you want to run multiple plant or other option, you have to create scope of planning. So that MRP plan for Multiple plants

Country India Version SAP- COUNTRY INDIA VERSION (CIN) is designed for use by business with operations in India. It comprises function designed specifically for India, a localization implementation guide (IMG), and a country template to help us customize the system according to local requirements. Most of the country-specific functions for India relate to Financials and Logistics, and center around taxes, including: Excise duty and the central value-added tax system (CENVAT) Tax deducted at source (TDS)

Sales tax Excise Duty: Excise duty is a governmental levy on specific goods produced and consumed inside a country. In India, Central Excise Act, 1944 governs the excise matters like defining manufacturing, factory, excisable goods etc. In India, excise duty is a tax on the manufacture of goods that is levied when goods leave the place of manufacture. Manufacturers can set off the duty paid on input materials against their output duty, a procedure known as central value-added tax (CENVAT). Types of Excise Duty Basic Excise Duty This is the duty charged under section 3 of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944 on all excisable goods other than salt which are produced or manufactured in India at the rates set forth in the schedule to the Central Excise tariff Act, 1985. Special Excise Duty As per the Section 37 of the Finance Act, 1978 Special excise Duty was attracted on all excisable goods on which there is a levy of Basic excise Duty under the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944.Since then each year the relevant provisions of the Finance Act specifies that the Special Excise Duty shall be or shall not be levied and collected during the relevant financial year. Additional Excise Duty Section 3 of the Additional duties of Excise (goods of special importance) Act, 1957 authorises the levy and collection in respect of the goods described in the Schedule to this Act. This is levied in lieu of sales Tax and shared between Central and State Governments. These are levied under different enactments like medicinal and toilet preparations, sugar etc. and other industries development etc. SAP

: In which condition, "Transfer Order" can be deleted? What is the pre-condition for us to be able to delete Transfer Order A Transfer Order can be deleted using LT15 transaction if at all it is not confirmed yet.

In which condition, "Batch Management" is "deactivated" from material master? Or, why do we deactivate Batch management for a material?

If you need to deactivate the Batch Management from MaterialMaster then you have to check the following condition... 1) The Material has not any open Transaction (ie. Purchase Requisition, Purchase Order, Production Order, Sales Order and others). 2) The Material must have zero Stock at Plant Level

In which condition, "Transfer Order" can be deleted? What is the pre-condition for us to be able to delete Transfer Order?
1.:Why can I modify a purchase requisition although I set the changeability of the release indicator to '1' ('Cannot be changed')? A : The purchase requisition is not modifiable via a purchasing transaction like ME52 or ME52N. But it is possible to change the purchase requisition from any other external application like sales order, planned order, maintenance order or network. The Changeability functionality only concerns the purchasing transactions. This is intended and a new release strategy determination takes place if there is a modification of the data in the external application. Is it possible to modify the overall release status (V_T161-GSFRG) of the document type for a purchase requisition ? Why is the database table field Overall release of

purchase requisitions (EBAN-GSFRG) set as overall whereas the item is subject to an item-wise release strategy ? A :SAP does not recommend to modify the overall release status (V_T161-GSFRG) of the document type for a purchase requisition (customizing - transaction OMEB). The risk is to create inconsistencies in database table EBAN. If a purchase requisition is subject to an overall release strategy and you change the document type from overall to item-wise release, the system can determine an item-wise release strategy when you modify one item with ME52. This item is now subject to a single release strategy when all other items are still subject to the former overall release strategy. And the overall release field (EBAN-GSFRG) is still set as overall for all items. If you do the same change with ME52N, the items not modified are no longer subject to the former overall release strategy and EBAN-GSFRG is set as item-wise for all items. But the requisition processing state (EBANBANPR) remains in status release completed (05) for the items not modified. Why is the release strategy not reset ? A reset of the release strategy only takes place if
o

the changeability of the release indicator is set to '4' in case of a purchase requisition and '4' or '6' in case of another purchasing document (purchase

order, request for quotation, contract, scheduling agreement),

o

the document is still subject to the previous release strategy, the new TOTAL NET ORDER VALUE is higher than the old one.

The total net order value is linked to CEKKO-GNETW for a purchase order, CEBAN-GSWRT for a purchase requisition item-wise release and CEBAN-GFWRT for a purchase requisition overall release. If you have maintained a Tolerance for value changes during release (V_161S-TLFAE), the release strategy is reset when the value of the document is higher than the percentage you have specified and if the document is still subject to the previous release strategy. Why is the release strategy not determined ? A : Please check the following points :

You can not use Release without classification and Release with classification. If there is an entry present in Release Group table (T16FG-FRGOT) only release with classification can be used. If you use version management, the determination of the release strategy starts when the version is completed.

You complete a version by setting the "version completed" indicator in the version tab.

Cost Center values (CEBAN-KOSTL) and Vendor values (CEBAN-LIFNR) in the release strategy characteristics should be entered with leading zeros. This is true for the other structures as well (CEKKO and CESSR). See note 52225. For OVERALL RELEASE (purchase order and purchase requisition) the item fields such as Plant and Material Group will be aggregated to header level. For example you use Plant as one of your characteristics. If all items do not belong to the same plant then the relase strategy will not be found unless you have maintained a blank value as one of your allowed values for the characteristic Plant. If all items belong to the same plant then that plant is aggregated to the header; if one or more is different then a blank is aggregated to the header. See note 47089. If you use a release user exit to derive the communication structure the following statements must be in the code (see note 371667):
o

E_CEBAN = I_CEBAN (EXIT_SAPLEBND_001 and EXIT_SAPBELND_004) E_CEKKO = I_CEKKO (EXIT_SAPLEBND_002)

Why is there no release strategy for the quotations (ME47) ? A The release strategy determination takes only place when you modify the request of quotation via ME42. Why does the system not display the purchase requision I double click on with ME55 (scope of list F) ? If you have previously selected one or several documents the program determines the first document selected and not necessary the one you double click on. The purchase requisitions will be displayed one after the other and to do so each purchase requisition displayed is deselected. On the other hand, if no document is marked, the system displays the document you double click on because the program selects the document according to the position of the cursor and not the mark. Why can I not select several purchase requisitions with ME55 and scope of list ALV grid ? A As from release 470, you can use scope of list ALV grid with ME55. This constitutes a new design and was developped in order to achieve accessibility requirements.

It was not the aim to guarantee absolute identical functioning as with the other scopes. The behaviour is more user-friendly than with the old scope of list. With scope of list ALV grid it is no longer possible to select several purchase requisitions and release them all together. T This was done on purpose and the user should release the documents without the checkbox selection. Why is the database table ekko not updated when I use transaction ME28 to release purchase orders ? A:First check that the transaction/event key (vorga) for ME28 in pooled table T160 (SAP Transaction Control , Purchasing) is EF. Then check if a commit work in a user-exit does not interfere with logic of transaction ME28. What authority check is performed with release transactions ME29N and ME54N ? A :With the Release Purchase Order (ME29N) and Release Purchase Requisition (ME54N) transactions, an AUTHORIZED person can display/change the current version of the document and effect release with his release codes. An authority check is performed on object M_EINK_FRG for transaction ME29N and object M_BANF_FRG for

transaction ME54N. With the authorization object M_EINK_FRG, you can determine which purchasing documents the user may release via the release group (FRGGR) and which release codes (FRGCO) he may use when doing so. The authorization object M_BANF_FRG enables you to restrict the release of purchase requisitions via the release code (FRGCD). Why do I have to switch to change mode in order to release with transaction ME54N ? A :When you select with ME54N a purchase requisition that cannot be released the system switches to display mode and if then you select a releasable purchase requisition the system keeps the display mode due to technical reasons. Consequently you have to switch to Change mode by clicking on the Change/Display button (F7). Is it possible to create a purchase order with reference to a purchase requisition not yet released ? Is it possible to create a purchase order with reference to a request of quotation not yet released ? A :It is not possible to create a purchase order if the referenced purchase requisition is not released. But the system allows you to put the purchase order on hold and then release the purchase requisition. On the other hand you can create a purchase order with reference to an unreleased request of quotation.

Is it possible to cancel a release strategy when the purchase order has been printed out ? A :With ME29N you cannot cancel a release strategy once the document has been printed out. This behaviour constitutes a new design. Regarding ME28 it has been decided to keep the old behaviour and you can cancel the release if there is at least one message type which has not been printed out. How is the currency converted ? A : The header currency is converted to local currency (company code currency) and then the local currency is converted to the characteristic currency. Can I use a blank characteristic so that this characteristic will not be considered during the release strategy determination ? A :Unfortunately there is no mechanism like entering a blank or * in order to make classification understand this characteristic is not relevant. The characteristic and its values will always been taken in consideration. In case you use a 'non-aggregated' field in your release strategy you need to enter all possible values for the corresponding characteristic (as a range - just in case of numeric characteristics). Example: You use item-wise release strategy for purchase

requisitions and the plant is used in the release strategy (characteristic CEBAN-WERKS). Release strategy determination will be processed item by item. There will always be just one value for the plant (from the current item), multiple values and thus aggregation is not possible. In this case you have to enter all possible values for the characteristic CEBAN-WERKS. In case you use an 'aggregated' field in your release strategy (which is possible for overall release strategy for PRs and release strategy for POs) and multiple values are used for that field on a purchasing document, you can use a blank value for the corresponding characteristic if you'd like the release strategy be applied. Example: You use release strategy for a PO and the plant is one of the relevant fields (characteristic CEKKO-WERKS). You enter a first PO item with plant 0001 and a second item with plant 0002. Since there are multiple values for the plant the system will 'aggregate' to blank value and use blank value for searching for a release strategy. Since you have maintained a blank value for

characteristic CEKKO-WERKS the system will find the corresponding release strategy. In this case please pay attention to note 732566. It causes an error in case blank values are used for release strategies. Even when the long text just talks about process orders the impact of the side effect is more general. Please take care note 754178 is implemented, it corrects note 732566. Why can I not input more that 999 entries for a characteristic like cost center (KOSTL) ? A : The cost center field ( CEBAN-KOSTL) is defined as a CHAR field and also the reference characteristic for this field has a CHAR format. Therefore you can only assign less than 999 values (see note 534226). Why is there no release strategy determination when a program changes in background a purchasing document which corresponds to the classification of a release strategy ? A : This is the system design that a release strategy determination can only be triggered through a user action and not by changes made in background process. If you create a document (e.g. PO, Contract, etc), the

determination of the release strategy takes place only in case of a user event like checking or saving the document.
In which condition, "Batch Management" is "deactivated" from material master? Or, why do we deactivate Batch management for a material?

Please find the steps for removal of Batch Management Indicator: 1: Check the Status of Article in MMBE for total batches of the article. 2: There should not be any open Purchase Order Use SE16 & Table EKPO Give the Article Number for which we have to find the Open Pos; Alternatively ME2M can also be used 3: There should not be any Sales Order. Use SE16 & Table VBAP Give the Article Number for Which we have to find the Open Sales Orders 4: There should not be any Purchase Requisition. Use SE16 & Table EBAN Give the Article Number for which we have to find the Open PRs 5: There should be no Stock in Transit MB5T 6: There should be no Plant availability Stock MB53 7: There should be no Reservation MB25 8: Previous Period Stock should be zero. Use MM43 with Plant Stock & Storage Loc. View. If Stock Exists follow the Procedure:

 If previous period stocks exist, we can make a withdrawal posting as follows. Post the same amount to current period stock (for example, using movement type 561) so that previous period stock and current period stock are identical. Make a withdrawal posting in the previous period for the stock together with posting date (for example, using movement type 562). 9: Stock requirement should be zero MD04 10: There should be no open Delivery Use SE16 & Table LIPS 11: There should be no open Warehouse Transfer Request Use SE16 & Table LTBP or LTAP 12: The Batch Corresponding to the plant for the article has to be set for deletion indicator Tcode: MSC2N 13: Once the batch deletion indicator is set, Archive all batches for the article. If any of the above Stock Exists it has to be closed; If Any of the stock exists we cannot uncheck the batch management indicator. After closing all the open items; the related business documents viz Purchase Orders, Delivery, etc have to be archived

Tax Configuration

FI-CO SAP takes care of tax calculation, tax postings, tax adjustments, and tax reporting through the three FI components; namely GL, AP, and AR. SAP allows taxation at three levels: 1. National level or federal level (Europe, South Africa, Australia, etc.) 2. Regional or jurisdiction level (USA) 3. National and Regional level (India, Canada, Brazil etc.) As the requirement of tax configuration in SAP you should define the following;

Base Amount for Tax Calculation

For each Company Code you need to define whether the Base Amount includes the cash discount as well. If the base amount includes the discount, then the tax base is called Gross, otherwise, it is Net. You may also define a similar base amount for calculating the Cash Discount. This also has to be maintained for each of the Company Codes.

Tax Codes

The Tax Code is a 2-digit code specifying the percentage of tax to be calculated on the base amount. While defining the tax code, you will also specify the Tax Type to classify a tax code relating to either Input Tax or Output Tax. The tax types are country specific and determine how a tax is calculated and posted.

Tax Rate

The Tax Rate is the percentage of tax to be calculated on a base amount. You will be able to define tax rates for one or more tax types when you define a single tax code.

Check Indicators

By using the check indicators, you configure the system to issue Error/Warning Messages when the tax amount entered manually is incorrect. possibility of editing GR & how? What are the ticketing tools available? which u r using & is there any severity defined? What are the configuration are client specific in mm ? which strategy is taken in P.R What is the step by step process in MRP? There is different steps in MRP: 1. Activate MRP in your plant. 2. Create Master Data for MRP (Planning Calender, Quota Setting) 3. Create Material Master with Views like General data 1, Purchasing, MRP1, MRP2, Accounting1. 4. In MRP1 fill the following data (lot size - EX, Reorder Point, Safety stock, Planning Calender etc). In MRP2 fill the following data (Plan delivery time) and after filling the other views save the materials master. 5. Go to Transaction Code MD03 to run through MRP.

6. Go to Transaction Code MD04 to view the requirement.

Have any one you done this in IM: Inactivating the standard Movement Types. Say for eg. I don't want to end user to use this MType 501Receipt without ref to PO. I don't want to delete this movement type, being an SAP standard one. One option what I thought of is to control in the authorisation profile, profile to exclued selected movement types. Is there any other way we can do this? You can delete the accounts assignments which are used for 501 movement type, in T030 table. Transaction code is OBYC. (or) 1. Use transaction OMJJ 2. Enter movement type 501 3. Remove MB01 from allowed transactions Why system giving me only warning message instead of error message when I am trying to make GR with a material which already tick for deletion flag. Is there any configuration mistake ? Through OMCQ , set message no M7 430 for error. How to add an attachment to a Purchase Order in SAP? You can attach manually any document to PO without using Document Management System ( DMS ) in SAP 4.6C. But you cannot attach document while you create PO in T/Code ME21N Save you PO ( ME21N ) and again open with change ( ME22N ) then you can attach document through Service for Object button. Service for Object button available down side of Command screen ( in your PO screen ME22N ) Click your Service Object button -> Create -> Create attachment then select your window directory ( which file you need to attach) select

your file Now your system shows message Service "Create attachment" is started. Save again your PO. You can see (open) your attachment in same field ( Service for Object ) select and Create and check attachment list. You can attach as many document in your PO. Can any one tell me what is MM closing and what is FI closing? How can I know if period is closed? MM closing means that you can not post materials document. In MM area you have two open periods current and previous. If you do not set other in MMRV - here you can check which are the open MM periods for company code. If you check Allow posting to previous period - it will forbid MM posting in previous period. FI open period (ob52) allow to post FI documents. As I know you can allow postings for some accounts - for example forbid material accounts for previous period in order to prevent MM posting until you finish all FI documents.
