account assignment category E - no comtrol in PO

[lakshmikanthc2]

Hi All,

Our scenario is belongs to account assignment category as E (Sales order) in purchase order. We are creating purchase order with account assignment as E and we are giving saels order number and line item number. Like this way we are able to create more than one Purchase order by referring single sales order. The requirement is system shpuld not create more than one PO with same sales order.

Is it possible to do in standard SAP? Do we have any setting for this control?

Please help us to resolve this issue..this is business critical..

Hi,

1) If you are creating PR in the SALE ORDER Line item while saving, you can create as many PO's as you can with refernce to PR qty till the PR qty closes. This is no restriction as such you can create on PO. Check the IMG for Order type and Item category where system through an error if the PO qty changes wrt PR qty.

2) If you create PR using ME51N and PO using ME21N referencing to PR then you can create PO's till the PR Qty closes.

3) If you run MRP, PR will generated for material assigned as line item in sale order and process will be as mentioned in step 1.

Hi Sudhir,

Thanks fro your inputs. In our case we don't have any PR. We are not generating any PR while saving sales order. Directly we are creating PO with account assignment as E and we are giving saels order and line item while creating PO.

Do we any option to check the quantity of sales order directly.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

basically there is no check as such if you are creating PO in ME21N with sales assingment on the sale order line item.

You need to look out for exit, if you want o have better control try to create PR in Sale order itself and follow the procurement cycle.

Thank you sudhir, we are using this scenario from fast few monts in production. We have to check how far it is accaptable to change the config for PR generation by client. And one more thing is we use to create Production order with reference to sale s order based on the requireemnt.

If i change the config to PR generation, can we create produiction order based on PR?

Thanks to all...

Hi

You can create production order through Planned order or Sales order ( Assembly processing). Not possible to create based on PR.

Hi,

No, if you adopt auto PR creation in sale order, then you can not create production order from PR. you need to create reservation and run MRP of the project.

Best solution for your requirement is assign material to sale order and create reservation, then run MRP, the external procuremnt material will be converted in PR and inhouse produciton material will be converted into planned which inturn be converted in to production order, if MRP in place.

otherwise better follow the manual assignments of sale order..!
