create sales order (return) with reference - PO number not copied

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I have a question regarding creating a sales order (return, VA01) with the option "create with reference" where a sales order number can be added as reference.

The system will copy values from the sales order into the return document like the item, the sold-to-party etc.

The PO Number (customer PO number) is not being copied in our system, so I was wondering if there is a way to tell the system to copy the PO number from the sales order?

Thanks,

Anne

Hi,

In the transaction code VTAA, select the target and source document types (return order <- sales order) and click on the details button. Check the data transfer routine (the first one for VBAK) assigned here. You may need to clone this routine (in transaction VOFM -> Data transfers -> orders) and create a new routine to add field VBAK-BSTNK into it.

Check with an ABAP'er for further details.

Regards,
