Define purchase requisition type in APO

[Former Member]

Dear All,

We create purchase requisition in APO an transfer them to R/3. How is it possible to define the type of theses purchase requisition (in R/3) created in APO? Actually the purchase requisitions in R/3 are created with type NB, but we would like to have a special one for all PReqs from APO.

Do we need to define this type in R/3 or in APO? Do you know how it works?

Thank you.

Best regards,

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

When the PR comes from APO to R3, it looks at the configuration in R3 (stock transfer setup) and finds the document type (NB / UB / etc ...). To identify whether the PR created by APO or R3, you can check the creation indicator & created by fields in item details > contact person of the PR. You can also check this at table level EBAN.

Thank you very much for your answers.

The UserExit could be a solution, but if possible we would like to find a solution without development.

Vendak,

Could you please give me a bit more details about this "Stock transfer setup" (Customizing-Path)?

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Hi,

Request you to check whether this will help.

To influence the document type of a purchase requisition or purchase order when it is created in the ERP system,

you can use the customer exit EXIT_SAPLMEPI_007 within the enhancement CIFPUR02.

Thanks,
