LOG_PP_EWM: EWM Integration in the Area of Production and ProcessOrders (New)

Use

As of SAP ECC 6.0, Enhancement Package 4 (SAP_APPL 604), Business FunctionEWM Integration into Manufacturing (LOG_PP_EWM_MAN), you can use an SAPEWM system in conjunction with production and process orders. You can manage bothyour finished products and assemblies as well as the components in EWM-managedstorage locations.

Processes

The most important processes that can be executed with EWM are:

o Material stagingIf you use EWM for material staging, the system generally generates productionsupply deliveries as replenishment elements.The storage location you have assigned to the production supply area can beEWM- or MM-IM-managed.You can carry out the material staging using the following transactions:

- Staging of pick parts for certain production or process orders (transactionsCO02 and COR2).

- Staging of release order parts and pick parts for certain planned orders,production and process orders (transaction MF60).

o Confirmation of production and process ordersIn conjunction with EWM, you can use all confirmation transactions at the level ofthe order header and the operations.When you save the confirmation, the system generates a delivery for theconfirmed materials. This delivery is automatically replicated in the EWM system.The goods receipt for the confirmed materials is posted for this delivery in theEWM system. This information is automatically transferred to ERP. The ERPsystem generates a material document and posts the goods movements. Thegoods issue posting for the components is carried out automatically.

o Cancellation of confirmation with reference to confirmation document(CO13/CORS)When you cancel a confirmation, the ERP system automatically cancels thedelivery that was previously generated at the time of confirmation. You now onlyneed to cancel the goods receipt in the EWM system. The goods issue postingfor the components, which is carried out automatically after a confirmation, isautomatically reversed when the confirmation is cancelled.

o Postprocessing of faulty goods issue postings (COGI)

- UI Enhancements

o ConfirmationIn the Display Confirmation transaction (CO14/CORT), the delivery number thatthe system created at the time of the confirmation is displayed. On the GoodsMovements screen, the Overview of Goods Movements has been enhancedthrough the addition of the Delivery column. By double-clicking on the deliverynumber, you can display the delivery.As soon as the goods receipt of the confirmed materials has been posted in theEWM system, you can display the number of the material document that ERPgenerated for this. In transaction CO14, you can display all documents for thegoods movements carried out in EWM and ERP. To gain an overview of allmaterial documents, starting from the Display Confirmation for Production

Order: Actual Data screen, choose the menu option Goto --> Administrationand then the Material Documents pushbutton. In this way you can check thestatus of the confirmation across systems. The functions GoodsMovements with Errors and Intended Goods Movements arealso available for the EWM-managed materials.

o Control cycle for material stagingTo facilitate material staging with EWM, the control cycle for production supplyhas been enhanced. You must now not only enter a destination but also a sourcein the control cycle.

- DestinationThe system automatically determines the storage location and warehousenumber for the destination from the production supply area for which youare creating the control cycle.You only have to specify the Material Provision indicator. This specifieswhether a pick part or a release order part is involved.

- SourceYou must specify the issuing storage location. The issuing plant is presetby the system because it must be the same as the plant of the destinationstorage location. The source storage location must be EWM-managed.

All processing and display transactions for control cycles have been adjusted toenable you to process and display EWM control cycles. In the list of controlcycles (transaction LS41), the Control Cycle Status column has been extendedto include the following control cycle categories:

- E: Control Cycle for EWMThis control cycle category indicates that the source and destination thatyou specify in the control cycle are EWM-managed.

- B: Control Cycle EWM-IMThis control cycle category indicates that the source is EWM-managedand the destination is MM-IM-managed

o Pull list (material staging list) (MF60)The initial screen of the pull list has been enhanced through the addition of thefollowing fields:

- EWM Release Order Parts- EWM Pick Parts

In the table of replenishiment elements, there are two new categories forreplenishment elements:

- EWMKOM for pick parts

- EWMABR for release order partsIn the background a delivery is generated for both, which is created aftersaving.

In addition, two new views have been added to enhance the menu in the materialstaging list:

- If you choose View --> Other View --> EWM Pick or EWM ReleaseOrder, the system displays only the missing quantity situation and thereplenishment elements of the selected category.

Restrictions

o The technical completion of a production order is not possible until there are noopen consumption deliveries for that order.


You make the Customizing settings for these functions in Customizing under DefineDetermination of Delivery Type. In this new IMG activity, you define thedelivery types and movement types for the above-mentioned processes.

LOG_PP_EWM: EWM Integration in the Area of Repetitive ManufacturingUse

As of SAP ECC 6.0, Enhancement Package 4 (SAP_APPL 604) , Business FunctionEWM Integration into Manufacturing (LOG_PP_EWM_MAN), you can use an SAPEWM system in conjunction with repetitive manufacturing. You can manage thefinished product (assembly) with EWM. The components must all be managed with thecomponent MM-IM or LE-WM.

- Processes

The following repetitive manufacturing processes are supported in conjunction withEWM:

o Final confirmationIn conjunction with SAP EWM, the processing steps that the system runsthrough in the case of final confirmation change. See also: Process of FinalConfirmation with EWMThe document log information (transaction MF12) has been enhanced for finalconfirmation with EWM by the following:

- After the confirmation, the delivery and item numbers that the system hascreated for the confirmed finished products are displayed. You can displaythe delivery by double-clicking on the delivery number.To be able to display this new data in the document log information, youmust change the layout of the latter. In the standard system, the Deliveryand Item fields are hidden.

- After the goods receipt posting in the SCM system, the ERP system hascreated a material document for the goods receipt. In the document loginformation, a new line is displayed for this material document. Thenumber of this document is displayed together with the new indicatorProcessing Type L (Confirmation for EWM Delivery). You can displaythe material document by double-clicking on the material documentnumber.

o Decoupled confirmationIn the case of a decoupled confirmation, the system posts only the goods receiptat the time of the confirmation, and reduces capacities. Depending on the settingin the process control profile, all other functions are earmarked in a worklist.When you perform the decoupled confirmation with EWM, this process changes.In conjunction with EWM, at the time of confirmation, the system generates aninbound delivery for the confirmed finished products. The inbound delivery isautomatically replicated in the EWM system. In the EWM system, you canspecify whether or not a goods receipt is to be posted automatically for thedelivery. In the standard system, immediate GR posting is preset. In this case,EWM immediately posts the goods receipt for the finished product.In the ERP system, you then manually post the goods issue for the componentsplus the production activities.

o Document-neutral cancellationThe processing steps that the system performs in the case of a document-neutral cancellation also change if an EWM system is used:Document-neutral cancellation is the reversal of the final confirmation process.Here, all goods movements are reversed. In this case, the ERP systemgenerates a correction delivery (outbound delivery) for the confirmed finishedproduct. On the basis of this correction delivery, all quantities and activities areposted back. However, the ERP system cannot update the planned orders after

cancellation.

o Document-related cancellationIn transaction MF41 (Repetitive Manufacturing --> Data Entry --> Cancel) orMF12 (Repetitive Manufacturing -> Data Entry -> Evaluations -> Data EntryDocuments), you can choose and cancel a material document for a finishedproduct.The ERP system then generates a cancellation document for the finishedproduct. The system determines the quantity to be cancelled from the materialdocument. At the same time, the ERP system generates a correction delivery(outbound delivery) for the finished product.This correction delivery is automatically replicated in EWM and the goods issueposted.This posting triggers the following in the ERP system:

- Goods issue posting for the finished product

- Goods receipt posting for componentsFor this, ERP adopts the quantities from the material document.

- The production activities are reset.

- The LIS is reset.

- The planned orders are updated.

- Finally, the ERP system generates a document log containing all currentdocuments.

o Material stagingThe following changes result with regard to the master data for materialstaging in connection with an EWM system:

- Production supply area (PSA)The storage location you assign to the PSA must be MM-IM-managed.

- Control cycleThe control cycle is enhanced inasmuch as you must now specify thedestination and source of the components.Destination:The system automatically determines the storage location and thewarehouse number for the destination from the PSA for which you arecreating the control cycle.You only have to specify the material provision indicator. Thisstipulates whether a pick part or a release order part is involved.Source:You must specify the issuing plant and the issuing storage location. Theplant must be the same as the plant of the destination storage location.This storage location must be EWM-managed.

There are the following enhancements to the pull list (material staging list)(MF60):

- The initial screen has been enhanced by the addition of the followingfields:EWM Release Order PartsEWM Pick Parts

- In the table of replenishment elements, there are two new categories ofreplenishment elements:EWMKOM for pick partsEWMABR for release order partsIn the background a delivery is created for both categories.

- New views:In the pull list, you can switch the view by choosing the following menuoptions: View --> Other View --> EWM Pick or EWM Release Order

For more information on material staging in conjunction with an SAP EWMsystem, refer to the SAP Library under Repetitive Manufacturing --> Pull List--> Execution of Material Staging --> Trigger Replenishment --> TriggerReplenishment via EWM.

- Restrictions

In the case of confirmations of planned orders in repetitive manufacturing, only thefinished product can be stored in an EWM-managed storage location. The componentsmust be withdrawn from an MM-IM- or WM-managed storage location.


You make the Customizing settings for these functions in Customizing under DefineDetermination of Delivery Type. In this new IMG activity, you define thedelivery types and movement types for the above-mentioned repetitivemanufacturing processes.

LOG_PP_EWM: EWM Integration with Kanban (New)Use

As of SAP ECC 6.0, Enhancement Package 4 (SAP_APPL 604) , Business FunctionEWM Integration into Manufacturing (LOG_PP_EWM_MAN) , you can use an SAPEWM System in conjunction with Kanban.

Kanban in conjunction with EWM generates a delivery as replenishment element. Thestorage locations assigned to a production supply area can be EWM- or MM-IM-managed. The source from which the replenishment is withdrawn must be EWM-managed.

- Processes

o The following kanban processes with EWM are available:

- Process with single-step stock transfer- Process with 2-step stock transfer- Processes with external procurement

- Processes with in-house production

o Goods Issue from Kanban for Cost Center

- New Stock Transfer Strategy

For the process with stock transfer, the new stock transfer strategy 0007 StockTransfer with Delivery (EWM) is supplied.

To be able to use Kanban with stock transfers, you must make the following settings onthe Stock Transfer tab page in the controly cycle:

o Stock transfer strategy: 0007

o Storage location (source)The source storage location must be EWM managed.

With this stock transfer strategy, information on the delivery is shown on the kanbanboard(transaction PK13N):

If you set a kanban to Empty on the kanban board, the system automatically generatesa new replenishment element. In this case, this is an outbound delivery. In the kanbaninformation, the number of the outbound delivery is shown in the Delivery field. Youcan use the Display Replenishment function key to access the overview of thisoutbound delivery.

Restrictions:

o Scenarios with MM-IM- or WM-managed storage locations as the source of thereplenishment together with a PSA whose storage location is EWM- managedare not supported.

o In the case of the in-house production strategies for Kanban with planned ordersor cost collectors, you must note that only the finished product can be stored atEWM-managed storage locations. The components can only be withdrawn fromMM-IM-managed storage locations.

o In the case of the external procurement strategies, you cannot use processingwith scheduling agreement delivery schedule lines and processing thesummarized JIT call.


You make the Customizing settings for this function in Customizing at the followingpoints:

o Define Determination of Delivery TypeIn this new IMG activity, you define the delivery types and movement types forthe following kanban processes:Single-step stock transferTwo-step stock transfer, goods receipt from stock in transitTwo-step stock transfer, goods issue to stock in transitGoods issue from kanban for cost center

o Define Stock Transfer StrategiesIn EHP4, there is the new stock transfer strategy: 0007 Stock Transfer withDelivery (EWM)This stock transfer strategy is supplied in the standard system. In the standardstock transfer strategy, only the control type is preset: Delivery from an EWM-Controlled Storage Location.The customer can make the setting 311 (stock transfer in plant) in theMovement Type field for single-step stock transfer. If you do not enter anything,the system automatically uses 311 and carries out a single-step stock transfer.See: Kanban Process with One-Step Stock Transfer.However, you can also specify the movement type 313 (UL Rem.fm Storage toSLoc). You use this movement type in the case of a two-step stock transfer. The2-step stock transfer always makes sense if the warehouse and production arespatially separated.

As of SAP enhancement package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL 604), materialsmanagement provides new functions for multiple account assignment. These newfunctions include the following options: distribution of document items by amount,multiple account assignment for planned delivery costs, and the use of multiple accountassignment together with valuated goods receipt. In addition, you can use multipleaccount assignment for service items as well as material items.

For more information, see the following release notes:

o MM_604_MAA1_NEWFUNC: Functions for Multiple AccountAssignment (New)

o MM_PUR_604_MAA1_BEWE: Valuated Goods Receipt andMultiple Account Assignment (New)

o MM_SRV_604_MAA1_BEWE: Account Assignment andValuated Goods Receipt for Services (New)

o MM_SRV_604_MAA1_BAPI: BAPIs for Purchase Requisitionsfor Services (New)

LOG_MM_MAA_1: Functions for Multiple Account Assignment (New)Use

As of SAP enhancement package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL 604) businessfunction MM, Multiple Account Assignment (LOG_MM_MAA_1), the following newfunctions for multiple account assignment are available:

o Amount-based distribution even for very small amountsIn addition to percentage and quantity-based distribution, you can now also useamount-based distribution, and thereby distribute the total value of a purchaserequisition item or purchase order item to the individual account assignments.The system also includes very low values that have been assigned to an accountassignment. You can use amount-based distribution for the procurement ofmaterials and services.

o Distribution of delivery costs to multiple account assignmentsPreviously, it was not possible to use multiple account assignment for planneddelivery costs for the material items. Provided that you create or changepurchase orders with transactions ME21N and ME22N, the system alsodistributes planned delivery costs to the account assignments on a quantity,percentage, or amount basis, exactly as defined by the distribution key of theitem. It is not possible to distribute delivery costs in a different way to theassociated material item. You can display the distribution of delivery costs in theitem detail data.In the commitment interface, the system distributes the delivery costs to thesame account assignment items as the associated material costs. You can useboth quantity-based and value-based commitment management.Note: For delivery costs with multiple account assignment, you cannot rungoods-receipt-based invoice verification.

o Multiple account assignment and valuated goods receiptPreviously, you could only use non-valuated goods receipt when creating itemsthat you wanted to distribute to different account assignments in purchaserequisitions and purchase orders. Now you can also use multiple accountassignment for those purchase requisition items and purchase order items whereyou expect a valuated goods receipt.

ConstraintYou cannot use multiple account assignment in stock transport orders.


The following changes have been made to the user interface:

When creating, changing, and displaying purchase requisitions (transactions ME51N,ME52N, and ME53N) and purchase orders (transactions ME21N, ME22N, andME23N), the Account Assignment tab page in the item detail data contains the newentry Amount-Based Distribution in the Distribution selection field (programSAPLMEACCTVI, screen 1000).

LOG_MM_MAA_1: Valuated Goods Receipt and Multiple AccountAssignment (New)

Use

Previously, you could only use non-valuated goods receipt when creating items thatyou wanted to distribute to different account assignments in purchase requisitions andpurchase orders.

As of SAP enhancement package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL 604), businessfunction MM, Multiple Account Assignment (LOG_MM_MAA_1), you can also usemultiple account assignment for purchase requisition items and purchase order itemswhere you expect a valuated goods receipt. The system then distributes the value ofthe goods receipt item to the individual account assignments, and posts the value foreach account assignment item to the GR/IR clearing account.

o When posting a valuated goods receipt for a purchase order (transaction MIGOor MB01, movement type 101), the system distributes it to the accountassignments that you defined in the purchase order. You can change thisdistribution with the Business Add-In BAdI: Multiple AccountAssignment – Redistribution in Goods Receipt(MB_ACCOUNTING_DISTRIBUTE), but you cannot change the selectedaccount assignment category or the account assignments.

o The valuation of the goods receipt and the distribution to the accountassignments depends on the portion of the ordered quantity for which you havealready entered invoices. Depending on this, the goods receipt quantity isvaluated with the net price of the purchase order or the invoice price.

o When you create the purchase order, you can use the partial invoice indicator todefine whether the value of the goods receipt items in partial goods receipts isdistributed to the individual account assignments proportionally or on aprogressive fill-up basis.

o In the case of overdeliveries, the system first distributes the purchase orderquantity to the account assignment items before distributing the overdeliveredquantity proportionally according to your specifications in the purchase order.

o In the case of return deliveries and returns, the system always distributes thevalue proportionally on the basis of the partial goods receipts posted so far. Youcan use the BAdI MB_ACCOUNTING_DISTRIBUTE to change this distribution.In the case of reversals, the system distributes the value according to thespecifications in the material document to be reversed.

o The commitment update takes place at the time of goods receipt with thedistribution to account assignments defined there.

o When you enter the invoice (transaction MIRO or MIR7), the system determinesdefault values (quantity and amount) from the data of the purchase order(purchase order quantity and purchase order price) and the purchase orderhistory (goods receipt quantity and invoice quantity) for the document items andaccount assignment items. You can use the BAdI BAdI: Get DefaultValues (MRM_PROPOSAL_DETERMINE) to implement customer-specificlogic for determining the default values.

o The system automatically distributes the invoice quantity or amount to theaccount assignments, and displays quantities and amounts for the individualaccount assignment on the multiple account assignment screen. You can usethe BAdI BAdI: Distribution of Total Quantity and Amount toMultiple Account Assgmts (MRM_DISTRIBUTION_MAAS) to replacethis distribution with customer-specific distribution logic.

o You can use multiple account assignment and valuated goods receipt whencreating purchase requisitions and purchase orders for items of item category:Standard and Service. With items of category Standard, you can ordermaterials with or without a material number, which you can describe in moredetail in a purchase order text.For more information about valuated goods receipts for service items, see therelease note Account Assignment and Valuated Goods Receiptfor Services (New).

Constraints

o Valuated goods receipts with multiple account assignments are not supported inthe subcontracting process.

o Valuated goods receipts with multiple account assignments are not supportedinto blocked stock (movement type 107) or from blocked stock (movement type109).


In transaction MIGO, you can use the Account Assignment tab page of the item detailsto display the distribution of the item values for a material document to the accountassignments.

For more information about valuated goods receipts with multiple account assignment,see the Inventory Management (MM) component of SAP Library, under InventoryManagement and Physical Inventory (MM-IM) --> Goods Receipt --> Goods Receiptsfor Purchase Orders --> Entering a Goods Receipt with Multiple Account Assignment.

LOG_MM_MAA_1: Account Assignment and Valuated Goods Receipt forServices (New)

Use

Previously, with multiple account assignment for service items you could only choosedistribution by quantity or distribution on a percentage basis. If you changed the itemquantity, the account assignment quantity had to be adjusted manually.

As of SAP enhancement package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SAP_APPL 604), businessfunction MM, Multiple Account Assignment (LOG_MM_MAA_1), multiple accountassignment with amount-based distribution to account assignments is available forservice items. Now you can use amount-based distribution in service items, to distributethe total amount exactly to the individual account assignments. For each service item ina purchase order, the system provides a service entry sheet and an invoice with all therelated account assignments for the service item.

The system displays the distribution of the total amount and the quantity among theindividual account assignments. You can change the distribution of the total amount. Ifyou change the amounts or quantities of the document items in the service entry sheetor purchase order/purchase requisition, the system automatically adjusts the relevantaccount assignments proportionally. If the automatic reallocation of the changedamounts leads to rounding differences, the system also automatically allocates therounding differences to the account assignment with the highest amount. If severalaccount assignments have the same highest amount, the first account assignment itemhas the rounding difference added to it.

In addition, you can post an invoice for a purchase order that is assigned to multipleaccounts, for which a valuated goods receipt has taken place.

For more information about valuated goods receipts with multiple account assignment,see release notes Valuated Goods Receipt and Multiple AccountAssignment (New) and Functions for Multiple Account Assignment(New).


In the transactions for creating, changing, and displaying purchase orders (ME21N,ME22N, and ME23N) and purchase requisitions (ME51N, ME52N, and ME53N), andwhen entering service entry sheets (ML81N), program SAPLMLSK (multiple accountassignment screen 200) provides the following new fields for amount-baseddistribution: Net Value of Item, Currency Key, and Distribution Indicator.

Effects on System Administration

As of SAP SRM 7.0, you can use the central contract and distribute to SAP ERP. Thisnew contract type in SAP SRM covers and replaces the local contract and the globaloutline agreement. If you have distributed global outline agreements from SAP SRM toSAP ERP in older releases (earlier than SAP SRM 7.0 and SAP ECC6.0, EHP 4), thenyou must migrate the corresponding contracts in SAP ERP and SAP SRM.For more information, see the documentation of the migration reportMMBSI_CONTRACT_MIGRATION.


Define the following settings in Customizing:

o Assign the ERP condition types to the SRM condition types in Customizing forIntegration with Other SAP Components under Supplier RelationshipManagement -> Central Contract -> Assignment of Conditions.

o For purchase order items with reference to a central contract, in Customizing forIntegration with Other SAP Components under Supplier RelationshipManagement -> Central Contract -> Pricing, define the point in time whenthe current prices in SAP SRM are queried.

o If ERP and SRM number ranges for contracts are identical, you can use BAdIBADI_MMBSI_SELECT_CTR_ID to define which contract is to be used.

LOG_MM_P2PSE_1: Manual Sourcing (New)Use

As of SAP enhancement package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0, business function Purchasing -SAP SRM Integration (LOG_MM_P2PSE_1), you can use different types of manualsourcing in combination with SAP SRM.

Purchasers can use this function to control the procurement process better forpurchasing. Various processes for sourcing optimize vendor selection:

o Creation of a bid invitation from the ERP purchase requisitionWith this option, you can bundle purchase requisitions and then directly create abid invitation for sourcing in SAP SRM and send it to several vendors.

o Central sourcing processingWith this option, you can control sourcing in your purchasing processescentrally. In the Collectively Process Purchase Requisitions Webapplication, you can bundle purchase requisitions from different areas andforward them from there to central sourcing in SRM.

The direct connection between the purchase requisition and the central follow-ondocuments ensures greater transparency in the purchase process. For example, youcan track the current status of your request for quotation and make any necessarychanges, such as changes to quantities or the deletion of an item.


There are no significant effects on the dataset.


You can implement the functions for sourcing by using BAdI Activate Sending ofPurchase Requisition to External Procurement System(ME_REQ_SOURCING_CUST). This BAdI is available as an IMG activity under thefollowing path: Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Portal -> Business Add-Insfor the Purchasing Portal.

LOG_MM_P2PSE_1: Service Procurement EnhancementsUse

As of SAP ECC 6.0, Enhancement Package 4, Business Function Procurement - SRMIntegration (LOG_MM_P2PSE_1), you can use an enhanced purchasing process inSAP ERP that enables purchase requisitions with a hierarchical service line structure tobe transferred to SAP SRM for sourcing. This allows the purchaser to take advantageof hierarchies when using advanced sourcing functions such as sourcing rules andRFx, increasing the efficiency of the procurement process.

The integration of Materials Management in SAP ERP and SAP Supplier Self-Services(SUS) in SAP SRM has also been enhanced to support services with hierarchicalstructures.

Effects on Data Transfer

Business Function Serial Numbers in Purchasing

LOG_MM_SERNO: Serial Numbers in Purchasing (New)Use

As of SAP ECC 6.0, Enhancement Package 4 (SAP_APPL 604), you can enter serialnumbers for the main items of purchase orders and purchase requisitions. Within onepurchase order or purchase requisition you may want to order several pieces of anitem. By serializing the materials, you can easily differentiate between them, making iteasier to request a specific piece of material. You serialize the materials using theMaintain Serial Number popup which you access on the Delivery Schedule tab page inthe purchase order or on the Material Data tab page in the purchase requisition.

The following new features are available

o Serial number transferWhen you create a sales order for third-party processing, and assign serialnumbers to its items, the created purchase requisition will contain these serialnumbers. This purchase requisition is created in the background. When youcreate purchase orders with reference to a purchase requisition, the serialnumbers are transferred automatically from the purchase requisition to thepurchase order.

o Schedule linesYou can have more than one serial number per schedule line. If the purchaseorder has several schedule lines, the serialized numbers need to be assignedmanually to the correct schedule line or created by the system by choosingCreate Serial Number Automatically in the Maintain Serial Number popup.

o Base units of measureWhen serializing base units of measure (for example, piece), the conversion oforder unit of measure (for example, kg) must result in a whole number atschedule line level for purchase orders, and at item level for purchaserequisitions. For example, if the base unit of measure was 3 pieces and the orderunit was 2kg, each unit would be 0.66, which you cannot serialize.

oChanging the configuration of purchase requisitions and purchase order items.You cannot change the configuration of a purchase requisition or purchase orderitem if you are working with already configured objects to which serial numbersare already assigned and the original configuration in the material serial numberis not linked to these objects.

LOG_MMFI_P2P: Entering of Down Payment Data in the Purchase Order(New)

Use

As of SAP ECC 6.0, Enhancement Package 4 (SAP_APPL 604), Business FunctionMM, Integration of Materials Management and Financial Accounting(LOG_MMFI_P2P), you can save down payment data in the purchase order, at bothheader and item level, which the system copies to financial accounting as defaultvalues. You can specify down payment categories, down payment amounts, downpayment percentages, and due dates in the purchase order.

In the report Down-Payment Monitoring for PO, (report RM06DPMONITOR), you candisplay all the purchase orders with down payment-relevant data whose due dates arewithin a certain period. In addition to the due date, you can use further selection criteriato select purchase orders (for example, vendor, purchasing group, and document date).From the report, you can display data for purchase orders and branch to the FIapplications for creating and changing down payment requests and down payments.You can change the default down payment data there.

You can use the Business Add-In Enhancement for Processing the Enjoy PurchaseOrder (Customer) (ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST) to define the conditions when downpayments are mandatory, in the methods CHECK, PROCESS_HEADER, andPROCESS_ITEM. For example, you can define that down payments are required forpurchase order values as of a specific value.


In the transactions MEPO, ME21N, ME22N, and ME23N, the following changes to theuser interface have been made in program SAPLMEGUI:

o There is a new screen 1238, which contains fields for saving down payment datain the purchase order header.

o There is a new screen 1317, which provides fields for saving down payment dataat item level.

LOG_MMFI_P2P: Down Payment Clearing (New)Use

As of SAP ECC 6.0, Enhancement Package 4 (SAP_APPL 604), Business FunctionMM, Integration of Materials Management and Financial Accounting(LOG_MMFI_P2P), you can perform down payment clearing directly in logistics invoiceverification, without having to branch to the relevant financial accounting transactions.You can use this function for material settlement and service settlement. When youenter an incoming invoice, you can select down payments that have been posted for apurchase order for down payment clearing, and post the down payment clearingdocument together with the invoice document.

Two Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) enable you to make customer-specific enhancements todown payment clearing:

o You can use the BAdI BAdI: Default Values for Vendor DownPayment Clearing (BADI_CALC_DP_VALUES) to define default values fordown payment clearing in logistics invoice verification. BAdI methodCALC_PROPOSED_VALUES contains two new import parameters to help youdo this.

o You can use the BAdI Down Payments (MRM_DOWNPAYMENT) to controlwhether down payment clearing is possible directly in logistics invoiceverification. If you specify that the system does not output the message "Downpayments exist for this purchase order" (M8 318), the Down Payment Clearingpushbutton is not displayed and the down payment clearing option is notavailable.

Note:

You cannot use down payment clearing in connection with prepayments. Furthermore,you can only use down payment clearing if you have not activated the function fordocument splitting for the new general ledger in the leading company code of theinvoice in question.


In the transactions Enter Invoice (MIRO), Park Invoice (MIR7), and Display InvoiceDocument (MIR4), the new Down Payment Clearing pushbutton is available at headerlevel.


If you want to define default values for down payment clearing, implement the BAdIDefault Values for Vendor Down Payment Clearing in Customizing for financialaccounting, under Accounts Receivable And Accounts Payable --> BusinessTransactions --> Down Payment Made --> Down Payments/Down Payment Requests.

If you do not want down payment clearing to be available in logistics invoiceverification, implement the BAdI Down Payments in Customizing for materialmanagement under Logistics Invoice Verification --> Maintain Customer Exits andBusiness Add-Ins.

LOG_MMFI_P2P: Posting of Retentions (New)Use

As of SAP ECC 6.0, Enhancement Package 4 (SAP_APPL 604), Business FunctionMM, Integration of Materials Management and Financial Accounting(LOG_MMFI_P2P), you can retain parts of the invoice amount until a defined due date,in order to ensure the fulfillment of the contract when materials are delivered orservices performed.

You can define retentions as a percentage of the purchase order value in purchasing.The system copies the retention data that you define at header and item level inpurchase orders to logistics invoice verification, as default values. When you processthe incoming invoice, you can change retention data and define the due date.

The system transfers the special G/L indicator for H to financial accounting.

The BAPIs BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATE and BAPI_CONTRACT_CHANGE areavailable for creating and changing retentions for contracts. You can only display theretention data you entered with the BAPI BAPI_CONTRACT_GETDETAIL, not in thecontract itself.

Note:

o You cannot use retention together with prepayment of an invoice.

o An amount split is not possible for retention.

o If you have activated valuation areas for the material ledger, you cannot defineretentions for purchase order items with these valuation areas.

o You cannot use retention together with installment payment.

o In case of multiple account assignment, no different tax codes are possible.

o Delivery costs are not included when retentions are calculated.


o In the transactions MEPO, ME21N, ME22N, and ME23N, in programSAPLMEGUI, there is a new screen 1238, which contains fields for savingretention data in the purchase order header.

o In transactions MIRO, MIR7, and MIR4, the following fields for entering anddisplaying incoming invoices are available:

- At header level in program SAPLMRM_INVOICE_CHANGE, screen 0100,the new field Retention Due.

- At item level in program SAPLMR1M, screen 6310, the new fields Retent.in Doc. Crcy, Retention %, Due Date, and Tax Reduction.


To define special features for processing retention, in Customizing for MaterialsManagement choose Logistics Invoice Verification --> Incoming Invoice --> Retention.

o In the IMG activity Define Default Due Date for Retention, you candefine a validity period for retentions for each material group, which the systemuses to determine the default value for the due date in logistics invoiceverification.

LOG_MMFI_P2P: Checking of Goods Receipt Date Against Delivery Date(New)

Use

As of SAP ECC 6.0, Enhancement Package 4 (SAP_APPL 604), Business FunctionMM, Integration of Materials Management and Financial Accounting(LOG_MMFI_P2P), you can check whether the goods receipt is as agreed or too late,when creating an incoming invoice.

The document date of the goods receipt is checked against the delivery date defined inthe purchase order. In the purchase order, the system checks both the last deliverydate that was agreed at schedule line level and the latest possible goods receipt dateentered in the item details.

If the goods receipt date is after the agreed dates, the system issues a message. Youcan define this message as an information message in Customizing.


If you want the system to check the goods receipt date, in IMG activity DefineAttributes of System Messages enter system message M8 778 with messagetype Information.

LOG_MMFI_P2P: Checking of Partner Roles in the Incoming Invoice(New)

Use

As of SAP ECC 6.0, Enhancement Package 4 (SAP_APPL 604), Business FunctionMM, Integration of Materials Management and Financial Accounting(LOG_MMFI_P2P), you can check whether the invoicing party is allowed as a payeewhen creating an incoming invoice.

The system checks the following when you create the invoice:

o Whether the entered invoicing party is specified as a partner in the header dataof the referenced purchase order.

o Whether the partner role of the entered invoicing party is defined as an allowedpayee according to your settings in Customizing.

These checks can be set independently of each other as either warning or errormessages. If both checks are active, the system first checks whether the invoicing partyis entered as a partner in the purchase order header. If the result is positive, a secondstep is performed, in which the validity of the partner role is verified.


In the IMG activity Define Partner Role as Allowed Payee, you define foreach client which partner roles are allowed as payees.

In the IMG activity Define Attributes of System Messages, you activate thechecking of the business partner by assigning the system messages M8 776 and M8777 to message type Warning or Error.

You can use the Business Add-In BAdI: Check Partner Data from PurchaseOrder to define customer-specific logic, which the system uses to check the partnerdata.

LOG_MMFI_P2P: Follow-On Activities for Completed Purchase OrderItems (New)

Use

As of SAP ECC 6.0, Enhancement Package 4 (SAP_APPL 604), Business FunctionMM, Integration of Materials Management and Financial Accounting(LOG_MMFI_P2P), you can suppress follow-on activities for purchase order items inwhich the delivery completed indicator or the final invoice indicator is set.

In the following cases, the system issues a message, which you can define as an errormessage in Customizing, to prevent the posting of follow-on documents:

o When you enter an additional partial goods receipt for a purchase order for whichdelivery is completed (message M7 433)

o When you enter an additional partial invoice for a purchase order for whichinvoicing is completed (messages M8 705 and M8 707)

You can use Business Add-In BAdI: Set Delivery Completed Indicator(MB_GOODSMOVEMENT_DCI) to implement your own logic determining whenthe system sets the delivery completed indicator in a purchase order item.

If you use the example implementation MB_GOODSMOVEMENT_DCI_EXAMPLE,once a purchase order item has the delivery completed indicator it does not lose thisstatus, even if further partial goods receipts are posted for the item. This means thatbudget is released only for the delivery quantity of the subsequently posted partialgoods receipt, not for the whole open purchase order quantity.

LOG_MMFI_P2P: Business Add-In for Displaying Reporting Data (New)Use

As of SAP ECC 6.0, Enhancement Package 4 (SAP_APPL 604), Business FunctionMM, Integration of Materials Management and Financial Accounting(LOG_MMFI_P2P), you can use the new Business Add-In (BAdI) Enrich ALVOutput Tables in Reporting (ME_CHANGE_OUTTAB_CUS).

You can use this BAdI to influence the data displayed from different reportingtransactions in the Purchasing (MM-PUR) and Services (MM-SRV) components. Beforeyou can do this, data must be displayed using ALV grid control.


To implement the BAdI, in Customizing for Materials Management choose Purchasing --> Business Add-Ins for Purchasing.

LOG_MMFI_P2P: Stock Removal of Scheduling Agreement Releases(New)

Use

As of SAP ECC 6.0, Enhancement Package 4 (SAP_APPL 604), Business FunctionMM, Integration of Materials Management and Financial Accounting(LOG_MMFI_P2P), you can remove scheduling agreement releases (forecast deliveryschedules and JIT delivery schedules) from stock, thereby preventing a high number ofolder releases from adversely affecting the performance of your application.

In the new transaction Removal/Relocation of Scheduling Agreement Releases(ME83), you can use various criteria to select forecast delivery schedules and JITdelivery schedules, and define how many releases should still be available for ascheduling agreement item. By removing older scheduling agreement releases, youimprove the performance of downstream processes, such as the display and editing ofdelivery schedule lines, the creation of releases, and goods receipt. The systemstipulates that you cannot remove the five most recent forecast delivery schedules andJIT delivery schedules.

To remove scheduling agreement releases, on the SAP Easy Access screen chooseLogistics --> Materials Management --> Purchasing --> Outline Agreement -->Scheduling Agreement --> Administer --> Remove Scheduling Agreement Releases.

Note:

You cannot reverse the removal of scheduling agreement releases. The system writesall removed releases to the corresponding removal tables (EKEKH, EKEHH, and, ifappropriate, ISAUTOEKLWESH), which you can display only in the Data Browser(transaction SE16).
