Service Selection in SES

[Former Member]

Hi,

While creating SES, service selection is called to select serives from Work Order, Contract etc. But, at times or for some Work Orders, the radio button option for Service Selection from Contract is missing. Any explanations, please ?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

A contract Limit can be maintained under Overall Limit in purchase Order.

This ensures some restrictions on the unplanned activity (the reason why limits are maintained). If only Contract Limit is maintained it would ensure that the unplanned activity would only be from the contract which exist between the Buyer and the Vendor (the same vendor for whom the current Purchase Order is made).

If such Contract Limit is maintained, it would be available as an option during Service Entry Sheet. (the Contract Line item number would be in Display mode).

The contract would be called off by the same amount as it is enetered in the Service Entry Sheet.

Another interesting thing to notice here is the Value tab (Vals) tab in Service Entry Sheet. There are 4 fields. Two of them is Unplanned Portion and Portion without Contract. Just try entering two unplanned activity, one with reference to the contract limit and second any other unplanned activity. See the difference for yourself!

Hi,

Could this be because the POs that don't have this available are NOT call off orders? (I.e. they do not have a contract linked to them and the others that have a link to a contract allow you to select services from that contracty?)

In ML81N you can not use contract for SES.

You have to select PO to create SES.

After entering a PO in ML81N when you will click on create SES, then only radio button of service selection will appear.

Hope it will help you.

hi,

if you are creating a SES for planned services, that means you have entered the service items in your PO, then you will get the option to select the PO to choose the services in SES.

But when you are creating a SES for Unplanned Servcies, that is you have specified only the Limits in your PO (in Limits Tab), then you require to give your Contract No in the Contract No field in the Limits Tab. Then while creating SES for this PO, you can select Contract No wherein you have specified the service items.

Hope this helps
