hi shiva

you might have seen that while creating sales order (va01) there is field for purchse order, In business sales order followed by purchse order:

Enter Purchase Order number - This indicator checks for the purchase order number and if you dont enter the purchase order number then system will consider the sales document number as purchase order number.

Check Purchase order number - If you check then system will check wheather the purchase order number existed or not for this sales document type

Hi

The purpose of maintaining this field in the sales order screen is to maintain the reference for creating this order. This purchase order number is regarding the order document sent by the customer while placing this order. In some cases the customer POs are scanned and attached to the sales order also.

The second field helps us not to create sales orders repeatedly(by mistake) with the same purchase order of the customer. The system checks if the same PO number is referenced earlier or not.

Thanks,

Hi,

Even if you have included your purcase order no in incompletion log and you don't enter a value while creating a sales order , it will take the same value as of your order number after you save it , and the other entry will prevent the duplicacy of purchase order number.

Hi

In VOV8 as far as i understood by your query you are asking about the following :

Enter Purchase Order number - This indicator checks for the purchase order number and if you dont enter the purchase order number then system will consider the sales document number as purchase order number

Check Purchase order number - If you check then system will check wheather the purchase order number existed or not for this sales document type
