In VA01, how to automatically create a PO from a Sales Order

[Former Member]

In VA01, I create a sales order using item.cat. TAS; then, system generates a PR for the sales order.

Is it possible to make the system create PO instead of PR?

In item.cat. configuration, I tried to check the check box "Create PO Automatic."; however, the system still geerates a PR for me w/o generating any PO.

Any idea would be appreciated.

Hi Vitthavat

In VOV6 for schedule line category CS check wheather the following data has been maintained or not

Order Type: NB

Item Category: X

Account assignment cat: 1

In VOV7 , for item category TAS

Check the box - Automatic PO generation

Billing Relevance - F

In MM02 , in Purchasing tab , check the automatic purchasing tab

Use ME59N for Automatic PO creation

Hi

There is no possibility of creating PO directly from Sales Order, but PR can be possible. Using this PR, we can create Automatic PO from Transcation Code - "ME59N". It is simple that you have to enter the PR number only for PO creation.

But, the Pre-requisites are:

- Set "automatic PO" indicator checkbox Material Master - Purchasing View.

- Automatic PO indicator checkbox must be enabled in the Vendor master - Purchasing View.

- That particular vendor must be assigned to the "Fixed Vendor" field of the PR item.

Let me know, if it works.

Thanks Ravikumar D.

Yes, I can now generate a PR automatically using ME59.

I see so we cannot create PO directly from SO in standard system.

Thank you.

Hi Vittavat

Generally we cannot create PO directly from SO in standard. The configuration what has been given in the previous threads by all will help you to create PO directly in the sales order
