Hi,

Both of above suggestions are right, but having some drawbacks for your case. In Carlos
suggestion, you would not be able to show actual cost incurred. In Sameer's suggestion, what if
actual visits exceeds plan visits? (and in your case you can call the vendor n no. of times). You
either wont show extra visits, or will post additional cost than incurred (this, however, you can't do
as you will not be able to create SES for more qty than mentioned in PO) .
I think you should make use of both. Create order with PM03 control key, mention qty 1 & unit lump
sum. This will create PR & through service entry sheet you can post the cost on order & by
settlement, you can transfer this cost to the cost center where it has actually been occurred.
Now create external work center. Whenever vendor visits, create an order using this work center
with PM01 control key, qty 1 & unit as visit. Make sure that you don't do activity planning for this
work center, so actual cost in the order would be zero (though you can have cost other than
vendor's visit). Hence no additional cost flows to the cost center.
