Creating a PO without Material master data

[Former Member]

Hello everyone,

Can anyone give me what kind of settings that are required for creating POs without material master data.I have tried out the option giving just the cost center K in acct assignment but still the system is spurting the error "Material number required".

Is any other parameter missing in this case.

Thank you

Check the item category u are using in PO.

Goto OMH4 transaction and check what is the radiobutton mentioned in "Material required".

If it is mandatory then system gives error message.

Hello Vineet

i guess that the transaction code OMH4 does not exist.

Can you suggest me different Tcode for seeing this "Material required option" against an item category.

Thank you

If your Creating the Purchase Order in absence of Material then you must fill the Following :

Account Assignement Category

Short Text

Unit of Measure

Material Group

Hi,

You can create Valuation Class in transaction code OBYC. Then assign the valuation class to your material group. After this you can create PO. In the PO you can enter account assignment, material short text, material group (to which the valuation class is assigned to), quantity, unit of measure, price, account assignment data (for example - Cost Center Number). This type of PO is called as 'Text based PO'.

For transaction code OBYC, take help of your FI consultant.
