This article will explain in detail what is the idea of Open PO migration in the SAP MM implementation project, and the content of the article is of high quality, so the editor will share it with you for reference. I hope you will have a certain understanding of the relevant knowledge after reading this article.

. A preface.

On the eve of the launch of the SAP project, in addition to the static master data needs to be imported, there may also be some dynamic data, such as open purchase orders, open sales orders and other documents to be migrated to the SAP system.

In the author's project, the migration of Open PO is a very important task in the MM module. By participating in this project, the author learned about the migration strategy of Open PO in customer global template, which is very enlightening.

The definition of .Open PO.

In actual business, Open PO generally needs to consider two indicators: GR and IR. As long as there is no full number of GR, or there is no full number of IR, the PO is considered to be the PO of Open. The author's project also uses this standard to determine whether an PO is an open PO.

.Open PO processing strategy.

In the project practice, the special treatment method is adopted to deal with the open PO on the eve of the launch.

For example, define a special PO type, this type of PO may allow external number giving, after all, the previous PO number has been sent to the supplier, because the SAP system within the enterprise is switched, if the legacy PO number changes, the purchasing department needs to do more business communication with the supplier. If external numbering is allowed, the business staff can input the old PO number directly into the SAP system, so that the supplier can connect seamlessly in the subsequent delivery and invoice, without additional communication costs.

In addition, the PO release strategy defined at the time of project implementation does not take effect for this type of PO. After all, Open PO has already been approved within the enterprise, and after being migrated to the SAP system, there is no need to approve it again. By defining a special document type, you can block the release strategy on the BAU purchase order.

The processing strategy is roughly as follows:

Open GR: create a new special type of PO, and the number of PO migrated to the SAP system is the number of OPEN GR.

Open IR: create a new special type of PO, and migrate to the PO ITEM in the SAP system to set a tag such as Y (to be customized), with a temporary assessment account, and no need to receive goods (uncheck GR Indicator).

However, the specific business scenarios may be complex, and the above strategies need to be handled flexibly when they are applicable to specific business scenarios.

. Examples of complex scene analysis.

Example analysis: for example, an old purchase order has 4 Line Item.

Line 1, PO 100, GR 20, IR 20. How to migrate?

The quantity of Line1 for creating PO in SAP is 80, and the goods will be received and invoice checked normally under SAP PO.

Line2, PO 100, no GR, there is IR. How to migrate?

In the purchase order in SAP, the purchase quantity is still 100; the business staff write off the IR that the PO has already accounted for in the old system, and then re-check the invoice in SAP PO.

Line3, PO paid 100, GR charged 80, no invoice. How to migrate?

After entering the SAP system, LINE3 is divided into two line items:

The first line item, quantity is 80, Account Assignment is set to Y, with interim assessment account (financial provision account), later receive invoices, use this interim assessment account, loan accounts payable; GR indicator removed, because there will be no more receipt.

The second line item, the quantity is 20, the normal PO line.

Line4 and PO charge 80 for 100m gr and 30 for IR. How to migrate?

After entering the SAP system, LINE4 is divided into two line items:

The first line item, the quantity is 50 minutes account Assignment is set to Y, with temporary valuation account (financial provision account), later receive invoices, use this interim assessment account, loan accounts payable; GR indicator removed, because there will be no more receipt.

The second line item, the quantity is 20, the normal PO line.

We can see that the more complex the business scenario is, when preparing to migrate data and determine the number of each ITEM migration, we need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources on statistics and analysis, which is a lot of work.

On the implementation of SAP MM project Open PO migration ideas are shared here, I hope that the above content can be of some help to you, can learn more knowledge. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see.
