Create PO with a different Confirmation Control Key

[Former Member]

Hello experts!

We are using SRM 5.0 with Extended Classic Scenario.

When creating a PO in SRM and replicating it to the ECC backend system, we would like the PO to always be created with value "0010", which is a value defined by our customer.

How can this be done real-time? We can't find this field in any of SRM's structures...

Field in ECC is EKPO-BSTAE

Let me know if any of you has made something like this...

Hi Gilberto,

The easiest way i would suggest you is to set the Ackw required indicator in the Vendor master Purchasing data view under the control data section in R/3. Then under the default data material section in the same view, you may select the type of confirmation control you would like to default & additionally you may also select a Purchasing group.

The problem is this would default in all POs & not just the EBP POs, as this cannot be controlled at the PO doc type level.

At least, this will default only for the P.Org you have selected.

Hello Akash,

Thank you very much for your reply.

We've already seen that option. However, as you mention, this would imply that the confirmation control would default in ALL PO documents, which is something we DON'T want.

Do you know of any BADI in ECC that we can use to achieve this functionality?

Hi Gilberto,

Before going in for any BADI development, lets try to see if we can keep it simple.

Try this in ECC & let me know:

1) In the vendor master for the vendor, select the confirmation control option you would want to default for this particular vendor. Do not flag the acknowledgement reqd checkbox.

2) in SPRO, under Purchase Order, click the "Define screen layout at document level"

copy the NBF field selection & rename it to the EBP PO doc type with a F as the suffix. Save it.

3) Click at the details button for new field selction. Double click the "Deadline monitoring" selection & now set the conf required as mandotory. click the back arrow & press save.

Now try to transfer a PO from SRM to R/3 for this particular vendor. But, remember that when it works, it works only for the conf control option you set in the vendor master.

Rgds,
