Number ranges for purchase order in SUS- why?

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

In SPRO settings, I have seen the option for defining the number range for purchase order in supplier self service system. similarly, there is an option for defining the number range for purchase order response.

Why do we need to define the number range for purchase order and its response in SUS system? In SUS system, the purchasing documents from SRM and MM system create corresponding Sales Order and its follow-on document. So, we need to define the number range for sales order not purchase order.

In spro documents, it says you need to define the number range only if you create purchase order locally in SUS.

What does it mean?

Hi Ranjan,

Unfortunately in SUS, Sales orders are referred to as Purchase orders only. Hence any PO with a number say 450000000 that comes into SUS will have a corresponding number in SUS as 19000000.

Sam has already explained the PO response part.

Hi Rajan,

This is used for the MM-SUS scenario where PO is sent from ERP to SUS, then PO reponse is created in SUS and sent back to ERP.

For this you will need number ranges for PO and PO response maintained in SUS.

Hope this helps
