Purchase Order (SAP Library - EH&S Waste Management)

Purchase Order

Use

You use this function to create a purchase order from Waste Management in the SAP Materials Management component. This purchase order has items assigned to an account for disposing of wastes.

Note

If you use inventory management in Materials Management and have already posted the waste quantities, you can also execute the operation type clear. This clears the waste quantities from inventory management and, if required, from warehouse management too, in addition to the purchase order created.

Integration

For the purchase order created, you can use the corresponding functions in the SAP components Purchasing and Controlling as for any other purchase order.

Prerequisites

In Customizing for Waste Management, you have processed the IMG activity Purchasing.

You have created entry documents for the waste quantities, which contain the following data:

Waste

Waste generator

Waste quantity with unit of measure

Plant for disposal processing

You have entered the required data for the plant in the waste material master. At least the Purchasing view must have been created for the plant, for example.

In the entry document, you have assigned a waste disposer using the input help (Hierarchical) Search for Disposers from Disposal Channels, in other words the Disp. ch. assgd indicator has been set in the entry document (see Assigning Additional Waste Management Business Partners).

The assigned waste disposer is a vendor in the system, in other words a vendor has been assigned to this waste disposer as an integration object in the master data (see Assigning Integration Objects).

You have entered an account assignment object, a G/L account, and an account assignment category in the entry document (see Assignment of Account Assignment Objects).

Note

The account assignment category controls, among other things, whether the goods receipt indicator is set when the purchase order is created. This indicator cannot be set in the purchase order for the disposal since no goods receipt is expected. You must therefore specify an account assignment category in the entry document that does not set this indicator.

All the data required is available in the system so that a contract or purchasing info record can be determined for creating the purchase order (see Determination of a Valid Contract from the Master Data and Notes on Assigning Contracts).

Features

The purchase order for the disposal is created with a reference to the waste. The system uses the date that you entered in the F-on doc. date field on the Purchasing tab page in the entry tool.

Note

Waste Management does not use the SAP MM external services management functions since no reference to a material, and therefore no reference to a waste, can be produced in a purchase order for an external service.

If a contract with an item has been determined, this contract is called when the purchase order is created.

A follow-on document record is created (see Automatic Creation of Follow-On Document Records).

Activities

Proceed as follows if you want to order the disposal for the waste quantities in one or more entry documents:

In the Waste Management menu, choose Disposal processing ® Display.

The Choose Entry Document Category dialog box appears.

Note

This dialog box only appears the first time that you access disposal processing after you have logged on to the SAP System. The next time you access disposal processing, the system automatically uses the entry document category that you chose last time.

Note

If you mainly display and edit entry documents of one entry document category, you can predefine this entry document category in your user profile.

Choose the entry document category of the entry documents for whose waste quantities you want to order the disposal and confirm your entry.

The Disposal Processing Display screen appears.

Specify the search criteria for the entry documents (see Searching for Entry Documents), and choose and .

The Disposal Processing Change screen appears.

Select the required entry documents and choose Purchase order.
