PO with material group and GR with specific material

[former_member714228]

I have a business scenario that we have general materials like bolts, bearings and other engineering materials for plants. There are 3000 materials like this. Now we are sourcing this to a shopkeeper whom we will give a PO and he will be responsible to deliver it on an agreed price.

These are daily based items so logically speaking we cannot give PO for each material.

Is there a possibility that I give an open PO to my vendor with a good value. At the time of GR, I receive specific material so that I can track what has been received so far.

I tried using material group by giving Acct assignment 'K' , short text and material group but it didnt work.

Any other solution?

Hi, If your intention is to create a PO which will have a high value and against that you receive goods and get the invoice for the supplied materials to get posted and do the GR..... I do not think so that it is possible rather system will ask you to enter the material or short text . even it is the case for the blanket PO too . If you have a material group contract and when referenced in the PO , even you need to enter the material or short text . if you do not mention the short text how can you receive that material ? How ever in your case for the requirement Blanket or frame work order would be the case . You create 20 to 40 POs for blanket for your material lines and receive as per that PO and invoice ?

You can create Blanket orders as well as map Consignment process which will makes your life too easy to handle such huge numbers of items.

Hi Yousuf

  Why don't you create a blanket contract use for this scenario.

Thanks and Regards

Dear

How contract works? I saw the quantity base contracts can help me in maintaining rates but in any case, I wont be able to give concrete amount in PO unless I receive an invoice
