Framework Order in PM order to create automatic SES

[jan_ceulemans]

Hello ,

I aim searching in the comunity but I do not find the rigth answer on my Query.

My quetion is the following , I have the following scenario by my customer.

We using PM orders for external services (contractors) , now we use the control key PM03 what is ok.

But we have for every operation purchase request who need to be converted to purchase orders.

Afther the purchase order we can do the SES entry. This is a long process and there are a lot of Purchase orders created.

I reed and see that there is the possibility to use a Framework order in the PM operation. When reading the help on this field this look what we need more or less.

The help tell us that whe you use a framework order the purchase order/ request will be automatic created so that you can generate you SES.

Until now , I discover that by using this framework order in the PM operation (External tab) , there are PRQ generated , after that you can use ME58 to convert them so that a SES is generated. Only this is an extra step between I will avoid.

Can someone tell me the correct steps for this process , and also the settings in the system.

Thanks,

Jan

Framework Order

Framework order assigned as the source of supply for this item.

Use

• You enter a framework order as a source in an operation (PM/PS).

• After this, the system automatically generates purchase orders for this operation.

• Service entry sheets are then generated directly from these (automatic conversion into follow-on documents in MM)

As a result, certain manual steps in the processing of operations are eliminated.

Procedure

Enter the number of the desired framework order.

Hi Pete ,

When I put this on never , their is notting happening. I can go to the ML81L and create from scratch a SES.

I will avoiding to create manualy the SES , I was hoping that the SES was allready is created on the moment I open the transaction.

To be honest, when I saw the "NEVER" comment above I also though it wouldn't work..

I've never seen the SES created automatically from the PR/FWO.. Unless its via a maintenance plan.

Can you post the SAP Help link?

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the feedback but not were a looking for. When I reed the help on the Frameworkorder in the PM order , this is telling that there will be created automaticaly PR and SES in the background.

This PR and SES are linked to the Framework order , this is like when you go by ME58.

Jan,

The usual flow once you have assigned the framework order to the operations is: Maintenance order operation-->PR(with ref to FWO)-->SES.

Another topic to study is creating SES from a maintenance plan
