Use of field Ship to party PO number in order data

[Former Member]

Hi,

In sales order header there is field for PO number sold to party as well as ship to party in sales order order data, on VA01 main screen we enter the sold and ship to party and PO number and date this is then copy of sold to party PO

now at present the Purchase order number in ship to party is always blank so if we use this field to enter the some other internal ref. number is there any effect of this.

Hi,

Sold to party PO field is BSTKD

And ship to party field is BSTKD_E

So both fields are different so you can use it for any other purpose

But if you tell us for what purpose you want to use then we can able to suggest any other field which is easily accessible to user and have no conflict with any other field.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

When we create the sales order after that we create the Purchase order on our vendor but we are not using third party processing or we are not running MRP so that after SO we can get the PR by MRP RUN with MD50 then ref to that PR create the PO Sales order and PO both are independent in system but for ref. we want to add the PO which is created for that Sales order.
