Creating a PO from SO

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a request to deploy the below scenario.

A purchase order should be created from a sales order with blank account assigment category and item category at the line item. This is to enable us to ship the goods from Vendor 1 to vendor 2.

Many Thanks

Kumar

Dear Kumar,

It is call Third Party Processing. The Item Category TAS in the Sales Order will create a Purchase Requisition with the Customer Delivery Address. You create a PO from the Purchase Req.

Config-Details:

T. Code: VOV6

Maintain Schedule Line Category (Type: "CS").

Also, maintain Field-entries as:

Order Type: NB

Item Category: 5

Account assignment cat: 1

T. Code: VOV7

Checking the Box: "Automatic PO Creation" in Item Category "TAS"; will help you to generate P.O. and not the Purchase Requisition, for third Party.

As soon as we enter third party item category in the sales order it will trigger the third party process. First item category will be determined.Basing on this schedule line category will be determined.Once it was done,as and when you save the document it will determine PR automatically.

Best Regards,

Amit

Note: Also check with:

T. Code: ME59N - Automatic PO creation

Pre-condition

1) The automatic PO indicator checkbox must be activated in the purchasing view of the material master.

2) The automatic purchase order indicator checkbox must be flagged in the vendor master

3) The vendor must be assigned to the 'fixed vendor' field of the PR item.

Reference: OSS Note 114213.

Hi

From SD settings i dont think a purchase order can be directly created based on sales order thro standards

You can trigger only purchase requestion

In VOV6 if you mention order type NB for your schedule line category then a Purchase requestion is only created up on saving your sales order

This is third party sales settings

In MM01 also in the purchasing tab of that material create automatic PO check box is there

If you tick that also it generates purchase requestion only not purchase order

In VOV7 create automatic PO check box is there

If you tick that also it generates purchase requestion only not purchase order

Involve your MM people also for this requirement

In MM people can create automatically PO from PR and there are a lot of threads in MM forum regarding that
