Shipment COst Module

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I created a shipment cost document for a vendor A, when I click transfer for one line item , there are 4 POs generated at one go.

But it works differently for another vendor B. When I click transfer for a line item,  only 1 PO generated.

What Configuration went wrong that causes this impact?

Please advise.

Once you execute T_56, Double click on "Define item categories" tab select your item category and click on blue lens so that a small screen will open.

There check what is maintained for the field "Generate PO"

Hi Bojja,

You do ot understand, see my screen shot ME2n, before i week a nother PO is generated. By right, a Po should be generated after 1 week. E.g u see on 28.03.2012, there are 3 POs created on the same day. Why?

hi

normally purchase organisation settings done with in at shipping cost item category level ,here you assign the this item is relevant  for purchase order creation or not ,

please check the t code T_56  , Here at item details check at the field of purchase organisation .

and check the vendor details at XK02 for purchasing data tab details

in shipment cost ,at service procurement tab will check like below screen

Actually the settiings shows that PO validity is 1 week but I'm not sure why it creates a new PO before the 1 week validity.

POssible reason for this to happen
