Vendor assignment for multiple line tiems

[Former Member]

All,

We are with SRM 5.0, Classic Scenario.

I have created SC with 2 line items and given different vendors for two line items of the same SC.

It should generate two POs for this, right ?

Bt, only one Purchase Req. and PO is created and showing in R/3.

Any inputs please ?

Thanks

Goto SPRO and check the Backend document that has to be created for the Product category of that line.

SPRO->SRM Server->Cross-Application Basic settings--->Define Objects in Backend System(Purch.Reqs,Reservations,Purch. Orders).

Based on this settings the Backend Documents are determined.

what about the vendor for the purchase request item? is it fixed vendor ? any data incomplete ?

Muthu,

In PR, yes fixed vendor & data is not incomplete also...everything seems fine. But why it has not created two POs in this case ?

Thanks

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:

TRY TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND POST it to SAP message.

Muthu :

The link you provided is useful interms of finding of how the follow on document creates and selection of document type ( thru debug ). Thanks for it.

But my question here is : When i assign differnt vendors for two line items of my Shopping Cart, it is creating only one PR/PO in ECC, but it should create two POs, right ?

am with Classic Scenario, SRM 5.0

Thanks for your help.

Yes.

ONE PO , ONE vendor .

in your case some incomplete data in the item .

if you have a fixed vendor for both item refere to same vendor it would have create a one PO .

however you need to see what are the PO split criteria in your business .

like header data . purchase group it must be same for all item

you have to see what is the data inside of eachitem
