Vendor Requirements

[Former Member]

Hi,

Please let me know how can we identify the requirements for a vendor in MD04 screen. In collective access I see an option for vendor and it shows the material for vendors, please let me know that how can all the requirements can be taken into single PO.

Thanks.

HI,

Check with the Transaction ME59 where PR is not assigned to Vendor & ME58 where PR is Assigned to vendor.,

1.Select the desired vendor as input parameter,

2.System will list down Unassign & Assigned PR, Select the vedor & process to create the PO

3.System will take all the PR relevent to single vendor in a PO.

Hi,

Please let me know how to know if PR is not assigned to Vendor and how can it be assigned. Should we maintain the material as fixed material for a vendor.

Thanks again...

Hi,

The Vendor feild in the MD04 withholds value only if the Quota arrangement is active for the material or we fix vendor ( Agrement no ) in source list.

If above setting are made you can Use ME59 & ME58 for converting all requirement in to single PO relevent to single vendor.

Hi,

Lets assume that we need to by 50 items on Monday for Vendor XX. So there will be 50 purchase requisitions created for all items, which can be seen in MD04.

1. Please let me know what can be seen in MD04 when we goto the option collective access and enter vendor XX.

2. If we goto ME58, enter vendor "XX" will it consider all purchase requisitions for 50 items that is in stock requirements MD04.

So instead of going to MD04, the purchaser can goto ME58, enter vendor number and naviagate to PO screen to send single PO for all item requirements.

Please explain in detail.

Thanks a bunch....

are you talking about 50 individual items or 50 requisitions of the same material ?

Its is for 50 different materials. So there will be 50 requisitions created in MD04 for each material. All the materials 50 materials can buy from one vendor so we need to have a single PO created for all the materials. i.e should be able to copy all materials from the requisitions into single PO for vendor 'XX".

Thanks.

this can be done in ME57 or in ME21N via document overview and drag and drop the PR into the basket on top of the PO.

Hi,

Could you provide more inputs on this please because when I go into collective access in MD04 wrt a vendor "XX", I see many different materials but when I try to create a PO I see only requisition of one material. In ME21N I went into the option 'change breakdown' where I selected the vendor option, so the requisition automatically poped up but I didnt enter vendor name.

In ME57 I enter the vendor as an input and I see 7 requisistions, please let me know how can we select all the requisitions in one shot into a PO for specific vendor.

Thanks for your time!!!!!

1.you can easily get the PR list of these 50 materials of one vendor by PR report ME5A of sap.

2.copy these PR number and collective transfer into PO under ME21N.

Hi,

I see that in ME5A, system shows the requisitions for fixed vendors. So we need to have fixed vendor maintained for all 50 materials in ME01? Also in ME5A I dont see the option to select all the requisitions to group them and collect them in PO. Please provide me more details.

Thanks..

I think you know that these 50 materials have to be procured from one vendor, but SAP does not know this,

Hence you cannot see the 50 requisition in ME57 if you use the vendor number as selection criteria.

This means that you have no source assignment for all the requisitions. And no you do not need to have fixed vendor for all of them. ME57 is the transaction to assign the vendor, source can be a contract, info records, source list...

Of course you have to use a selection that enables SAP to find all 50. Vendor number is certainly not the right selection to start with.

What do the materials have in common? the purchasing group? the MRP controller?

Use this to select the requisitions, then do the source assignment for all requisitions that do not yet have a source.

After this is done, you create a PO per Assignment, which is the vendor number, And you will then find all 50 requisitions to this one vendor in the document overview of PO creation screen.
