How to convert Purchase Order to Sales Order in the Target system of Vendor

[Former Member]

Hi all,

My sender system and receiver system both are ECC6.00 . We are not using any Xi/PI or EDI tool ., but using ALE to tranfer purchase order to the Vendor System . The PO IDoc is getting tranfered to Target System, but the Corresponding Sales order is not being generated .

My query is how the inbound process in the trarget system determines what are the master data will be used to create the Sales Order . as the transfered IDOC will not have sales area, distribution channel or division .

Your Vendor System (Target System) SD configuration should be setup to accept & process your PO's. You (as a Customer) have to be setup in their systems, allowing the IDOC to Create a Sales Order.

Your Vendor will have their own SalesOrg, Division, Distribution channels of their own. This data is company specific & will never be sent in IDOC.

As suggested by you, if your Target system can accept IDOC's, you don't need PI. (It is optional)

I think we need to create a customer master record in table KNA1 ..

Apart from this also we need to maintain entries related to sales org ,distribution channel and so on in tables

EDPAR, EDSDC ....

from here the inbound process will pick the data ....

Hi,

Here u need to use PI or any middleware.

For PI , it will be IDOC to RFC scenario :

Sender side - IDOC - Orders05 or whichever u want

Receiver side - RFC -Import the BAPI you want to use , for your case most probably it will be 'BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2'.

Pass the mandatory fields required to bapi .

You can refer IDOC to RFC scenarios in forum from search.
