MM closing means that you can not post materials document.
In MM area you have two open periods current and previous.
If you do not set other in MMRV - here you can check
which are the open MM periods for company code. If you check Allow posting
to previous period - it will forbid MM posting in previous period.
FI open period (ob52) allow to post FI documents. As I
know you can allow postings for some accounts - for example forbid material
accounts for previous period in order to prevent MM posting until you finish
all FI documents.

What is the difference between Blanket Purchase Order and the Framework Order?
In general the Blanket POs are used for consumable materials
such as Xerorx papers with a short text (does not need to have Master Record)
with Item Category ' B' i.e.limit, where in the PO validity period as well
as the limits are to be mentioned for the simplicity of procurement.The
doc type is 'FO' (Framework Order).
The GR or Service Entry for the PO are not necessary
in case of Blanket POs as well as one need not to mention the account assignment
category during creation of PO it can be 'U'-unknown & can be changed
at the time of IR.

I have two issues:
1) Auto P.O.: In MMR & Vendor Master Record (Control
data) I have checked 'Auto PO'....I have created the Purchase
Req for the Material.....Now I want to know how the automatic PO will come
into force...I mean what steps to do after creating PReq.
2) Source List: I have checked 'Source List' In Purchasing view of MMR...Have two vendors for this material for which source list is also maintained(ME01)....While creating PO..the system takes by default the first vendor....I tried to assign the second vendor (made sure that validity period are in range)..but couldn't do so...Can you suggest how the system will tell me to select one of the vendor I want to assign to the PO.
1. For Auto PO , yo should proceed as follows:
* Auto P.O.: In MMR & Vendor Master Record
- checked(MM02/XK02)
* Maintain Source List & select the indicator
for source list record as MRP relevent.(ME01)
* If more than one source list records are generated,
make one of them as fixed.
* Run MRP , the PR's generated will be preassigned
with the source of supply.(MD01)
* Enter T Code ME59 for automatically creating
PO's from PR's.
2.* Check if the assigned Source in PR is not fixed in
Source List.
* Check if the info record for source not
assigned, is having valid conditions.

Why system giving me only warning message instead of error message when I am trying to make GR with a material which already tick for deletion flag. Is there any configuration mistake?
Through OMCQ , set message no M7 430 for error.

When I want to settle Framework
order. On Information Text, I had a message "Invoicing plan: No message
was found for partner 100454/company code 2000" I had investigate that
error on message determination and still the
error occurs. Maybe I miss the
setting in message determination. Can you tell me how to set Framework
order Settlement message determination.
According to SAP Notes, when an invoicing plan is settled,
you can create a document/e-mail or etc to notify your supplier or internal
personnel. The IMG setting (SAP 4.7) can be set in Material Mgmt --> Logistic
Invoice Verification --> Message determination.
Another way is if the creation of these docs are not
required, turn off the message by setting the message display from 'Error'
to 'Information'. The IMG setting can be set in Material Mgmt --> Logistic
Invoice Verification --> Define Attributes of System Messages. This is
what I did on my side.

Have any one you done this in IM: Inactivating
the standard Movement Types. Say for eg. I don't want to end user
to use this MType 501- Receipt without ref to PO.
I don't want to delete this movement type, being an
SAP standard one. One option what I thought of is to control in the
authorisation profile, profile to exclued selected movement types.
Is there any other way we can do this?
You can delete the accounts assignments which are used for 501 movement type, in T030 table. Transaction code is OBYC.
or
1. Use transaction OMJJ
2. Enter movement type 501
3. Remove MB01 from allowed transactions
