Unable to create PO in backend system for a text material in Shopping cart

[Former Member]

Hi All,

When I am approving a shopping cart with text material(ie without material/product/goods), I am getting PR instead of PO. Please explain the settings for getting PO.

Hi

(1)1173815 - Purchase requisition instead of purchase order or 140846 SAP Note 140846 - BBP: No purchase order generated although data complete

(2)BBP_TARGET_OBJECTS BADi active in your system?

(3) Do you have fixed source of supply in your sc ?

update here your configuration settings -Define the Objects in the Back end system

Hi Satya,

there can be several reasons for creating PR instead of PO. Please see the FAQ note 1173815 for the possible reasons, and the guide for debugging under:

Hi,

SPRO--> SRM > SRM server> cross application basic settings --> Define objects in backend system (PR,RS,PO)

Always purchase requision

Or

PO if item data complete,other wise PR.

1. Enter the organizational unit and/or the category.

2. Enter a source system.

3. Choose the procurement type.

Reservation if stock is available, otherwise external procurement

The system creates a reservation if the material is subject to inventory management and sufficient stock quantity is available in the warehouse on the requested date.

Always reservation for materials subject to inventory management

The system creates a reservation if the material is subject to inventory management, irrespective of whether stock is available.

Always external procurement

The system does not create a reservation, but always procures the item externally. In this case, you specify the type of external procurement.

The following options are significant if the system cannot create a reservation (for example, if there is no stock available or for a non-stock item) or the system must not create a reservation (choose Always external procurement).

Purchase order if item data complete, otherwise purchase requisition

The system always tries to create a purchase order. If the item data is incomplete (for example, the vendor or price is not known), the system creates a purchase requisition from the item.

Always purchase requisition

The system always creates a purchase requisition.

Always local purchase order

The system always creates a local purchase order.

Thanks
