Sales order from PO

[govind_ramesh]

Hi,

Is there any way to create a sales order by referencing a Purchase order ?

We would like to avoid the manual work of creating a sales order by recalling a Purchase order which would contain 100 items on an average.

It is possible to do the mirror image of what you are asking for - i.e., create a PO (via a requisition) from the sales order.

Would that work for you?

If so, look at using item category TAB or TAS in your sales order. One of these initiates procurement for delivery direct to your customer (from your vendor), the other initiates procurement for delivery to your plant, so that you can deliver to your customer.

Hi,

Would like to know that whether you are referring to a customer PO ( which customer creates for his requirement in his system) or vendor PO ( which the selling company creates in its system for procuring).

Hi,

For what scenario are you trying to do that. Can you please elaborate?

BTW, you can create a sales order as soon as the PO is saved. It can be done by using an output type in PO (Say NEU), and issuing the output to EDI. The IDoc gets created and then the SO can be created. However, this needs a few configurations to be done in WE20, partner profile and perhaps a few modifications in the function module that creates order from idoc. You may have to take the help of Basis, MM and ABAP to achieve it.

Hope this helps

Thanks

Could you explain in details . Generally the sales order will be created in the supplier system against customer . In the customer system PO will be created against supplier.
