Transfer Order from Source List and Different OdT by Plant-Material

[Former Member]

Hi friends!

I should find a solution for the following scenario:

- Define Source list for the delivery plant determination

- Create Purchase Request and after Trasfer Order from MRP run using the Source List created before

__First Question_:

How I can do it? I created the Source List but when I transform Purchase Req into Transfer Order this document didn't have the Delivery plant (the source-Plant)

- Can distinguish using plant or plant-material tas criteria the Purchase Request and the Transfer Order type that it has to be used in order to split the Cross company transfer order scenario from the intra company scenario.

(e.g. Plant P001 Material xxx PR type: ZN TO type:ZOT; Plant P002 Material yyy PR type: ZB To type ZOT2)

Second question:

How I can do it?

I hope in your precious suggestions!

Many thanks in advance

do you see a vendor number in the source list for your delivering plants?

for the "normal" stock transfer, the procurement plant a vendor (plant vendor) must be assigned. In the vendor master -> the purchasing view the vendor must be maintained with the purchasing organization of the receiving plant. You can create the source list for this normally. The source list of the receiving plant for cross company code procurement, maintained before, now shows the plant vendor.

did you flag the box for source determination while converting the PR to the PO?

Hi,

"do you see a vendor number in the source list for your delivering plants?"

No, I don't; I've created the vendor but I don't know how assing the plant to it; In the vendor master, into the view purchasing I can't see the field Plant where I have to record the plant code assigned to the vendor.

Please Could you suggest me the steps that I have follow to do it?

" The source list of the receiving plant for cross company code procurement, maintained before, now shows the plant vendor"

I want use the source list for both the scenario cross company and intra-comapany;

I've created the source list and I've enterd the plant code as source; when I enter also the vendor code the system shows a blocking message; (Plant and Vendor code aren't fitting together)

How can I distinguish the case of Cross company Transfer Order from that intra-company and use different type for Purchase request and Transfer order for the 2 scenarios at MRP run?

(e.g. Plant P001 Material xxx PR type: ZN Transfer Order type:ZOT;

Plant P002 Material yyy or Material xxx PR type: ZB Transfer Order type ZOT2)

Many thanks in advance

in vendor master -> purchasing view

choose from menu Extras > additional data

and assign the plant.

for what reason do you need 2 different PR types, why do you even need a Z-type?

usually the PR is of document type NB an the item category is U.

MRP cannot distinguish between 2 document types. you can default a document type based on MRP group. but one material has only one MRP group, hence you can only have one default. (trx OMDT)

The user decides which PO document type to use when he converts the requisition to a PO.

"for what reason do you need 2 different PR types, why do you even need a Z-type?"

In order to distinguish the cross-company scenario from that intra-company.

"The user decides which PO document type to use when he converts the requisition to a PO"

In our scenario the convertion has to be automatic and not manual;

Thanks for you help

you mean with ME59N ? There is an OSS note explaining how you can use different document types for the POs.

it can be done with Business Add-In ME_BSART_DET

Thanks for the information!

Where I have to out the flag into the box for source determination while converting the PR to the PO?

The system ignores the source list created

Roberta

ME59N expects source assigned requisitions.

you dont convert manually.

So you either find the right source already during MRP. means you have the MRP relevant indicator set for one particular source, or you assign the source manually e.g. in transaction ME56. or in ME51N when you create the PR manually by flagging the box for source determination.

Mybe I can't explain my problem very well, I'll try to do it better than before:

- I've Ceated the source list for material and plant of destination and iI've ndicated the Delivery plant

- I launched the MD02 transaction

- With the MD04 I can see tha purchase request; I tryed to transform it into transfer order but the I can't save the Trasfer Order becouse it didn't have the delivery plant;

Where I have to indicate that when a PR is trasformed into TO the source list has to be considered as mandatory?

Why the TO hasn't the delivery plant?

Thanks

is your purchase requisition that you see in MD04 a requisition for a stock transfer? does it have the U in the item category?

have a look into OSS Note 192529 - MRP: Stock transfer with plant = vendor

this note has several other notes referenced, read all and you get a better picture on the process and some required settings

The Item category is "T" that in Italian language means Transfer;

The Transfe order that I try to create hasnt delivery plant but only the correct document type that I've set into customizing;

In the source list I've entered only the delivery plant and not also the vendor code linked to the plant

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

The note concerns the Purchase Order and not the transfer order,doesn't it?

My scope is the transfer order

[JL23 · Accepted solution]

what is the difference between transfer order and purchase order?

dont you create both with ME21N?

[JL23 · Accepted solution]

The Item category is "T" that in Italian language means Transfer;

there is no item category T in standard SAP delivered system.

the item categories in itgalian language are:

Norm.

C Conto deposito

L Lav. conto terzi

S Linea

U Trasf. stock

D Prest. di servizio

The difference is that in the PO there is the vendor in the TO there is the Plant as source!

Mybe the source list is valid for PO and not for TO

[JL23 · Accepted solution]

The notes I mentioned earlier explained it.

We usually use special procurement keys in material master to determine the sourcing plant right away.

there is not much difference between your TO and a PO, both are created with the same transactions, both data is stored in the same tables.

The Item categorie that I can display are:

Standard

L Limite

K Conto dep.

E Lavorazione esterna

M Mat. sconosciuto

C Conto terzi

O Testo

T Trasferimento stock

G Gruppo merci

P Prest. di servizio

okay, item categories can be defined with own external definitions. internally SAP uses item category 7 for stock transfer.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

okay..but we haven't solved my proplem!

any other suggestions? i'm in trouble.

many thanks

[JL23 · Accepted solution]

you had assigned the plant to the vendor master?

you still do not the see the vendor number in the source list?

delete source list item and re-create the source list after you have done the plant assignment.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

I've created again the source list and entered the delivery plant code and the vendor code

I've launched the md04, selected the PR and transformed it into transfer order but again the delivery plant is missing!!!!!!

I'm serious warried

[JL23 · Accepted solution]

instead of MD04.

try with standard purchasing transactions, just to see if it works there.

this is from Note 457110 - FAQ: Source determination in purchasing

The source determination determines the source of supply based on the source list. The relevant source list entry contains a supplying plant. An info record exists.
Why does the source determination not determine the info record?
Answer:
The info record is determined if you carry out the source determination using Transactions ME51N/ME52N or ME56/ME57 (scope of list 'ALV').
If you use Transactions ME51/ME52 or ME56/ME57 (scope of list 'A'), the info record is not determined.
Basically, the following is valid: in all cases, due to Note 208138 the info record is NOT determined within the source of supply determination (function module ME_SEARCH_SOURCE_OF_SUPPLY). If you use the EnjoySAP Transactions or the scope of list 'ALV' with Transactions ME56/ME57, the info record is determined at a later stage.
We recommend that you use the EnjoySAP Transactions or the scope of list 'ALV' in Transactions ME56/ME57.
(For Transactions ME56/ME57, the scope of list 'ALV' is available as of Release 4.70)
