Framework PO

[Former Member]

Hi

Am new to SRM 7 i would like to confirm the following behavior.

We are creating a framework Order that contains services...

We have 2 service header and each header has 2 lines items.

Am creating this PO from a PR, when using the sourcing cockpit it creates 2 separate  PO's this in turn leaves the PO's created in SAVED status.

When I do a check on the PO 's in error .

Example.

Back End Error:Purchase req. 10011877 00020: follow-on document from external system not allowed.

Is it supposed to split the items how can I prevent this from happening or is this how its supposed to behave.

Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Dear Thobile,

Please check the customizing "Define Sourcing for Product Categories" in SRM.

If it is set as 'Automatic requirement grouping' then sourcing for items without assigned source of supply:
If a source of supply is assigned to a requirement, the report Automatic Grouping of Requirements for POs and Bid Invitations automatically attempts to create a PO from several requirements. If it is unable to do this, the requirement is displayed so that you can assign it manually in the sourcing application.
Once you have assigned a source of supply, you can submit the requirement to the Report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED

Regards,
Hari
