Loading Existing Purchase Orders from Legacy System

[Former Member]

Hello -

We are moving to SRM 5.0 extended classis from an existing legacy system and we would like to load our open purchase orders into SRM. Has anyone done this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

This is very much possible. You can use the below FM's to achieve the same.

BBP_PD_PO_CREATE
BBP_PD_PO_SAVE
BBP_PD_PO_UPDATE

BAPI_POEC_CREATE

Would I have to write an abap program to use the functionl modules to load the data? Has anyone ever used LSMW to do this? Will it still send the POs to the backend?

Thanks

-> Yes.

Has anyone ever used LSMW to do this?

-> Yes, you can use LSMW and call these FM's for data upload

Will it still send the POs to the backend?

-> Yes, provided the PO is complete and ordered.

Jane,

Agree with Kathir, you can use the BAPI_POEC_CREATE and additional records through by using BBP_PO_APP_UPDATE_PO.

Custom ABAP program which you can upload the excel sheet data and pass it to the above function module (like BDC).

Hi,

I am new to SRM - I have a requirement from my client.

How to create PO's and PO Contracts in SRM by getting the data from and excel sheet?

Is it possible for you to provide the LSMW for this and how to call a FM for data load.

OR

Have you done any abap program to use the functionl modules to load the data? If so, can you provide me.

Please do reply ASAP.

Thanks in advance.
