Shipment Cost settlement: Generate PO

[Former Member]

Hi,

I set the value for the field Generate PO to 'A - Generate purchase order for validity period of 1 day' in transaction code T_56 for the shipment cost type and item category of the Shipment Cost document. But somehow, the PO kept on being used repeatedly whenever I transfer cost of Shipment cost document in VI02 even though its been more than a month old. Was my understanding on the effect of the field setup flawed? Or is there anything else that I am missing?

I tried searching for solutions here in the forum but no post seems to answer my query. Many thanks in advance for your replies.

Hi ,

You can try to check again Item category, settlement part

Cost dist. is C : Delivery item

Acct Assgt Cat. is Y : Shipment Cost

Settlement date is 0002 : Stage End (Actual)/Current Date

Origin CO is A : General ledger account

Settlement rel. is X : relevant for settlement (G/L account)

Generate PO is A : Generate purchase order for validity period of 1 day

my client is set up like that is OK, PO number create per day

Hi,

Well, we differ only on 2 config field values as these are the required setup here. But still, a new PO is not generated as expected.

based on shipment cost item --> Cost dist. is C : Delivery item

cost center settlement --> Acct Assgt Cat. is Y : Shipment Cost

Settlement date is 0002 : Stage End (Actual)/Current Date

Origin CO is A : General ledger account

Settlement rel. is X : relevant for settlement (G/L account)

Generate PO is A : Generate purchase order for validity period of 1 day
