Purchase Order to Sales Order Automation

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Suppose I created a Purchase Order '123' and an IDOC has also been created for this PO. I would like the system to create a Sales Order for the same Purchase order I created in the same system. Can you all let me know the different solutions for this?

Thanks,

Hi;

Step 1: PO 123 is created thru EDI.

Step 2: SO is created thru EDI referring the PO#. We cannot do a PO-SO conversion as there is no Copy control for this. This is not possible. In the ORDERS04 idoc type in the segment E1EDKA1-IHREZ you can send the PO# and this would populated in the PO# field in the Sales Order.

Step 3: Update the SO# in the PO. Once the SO is created send the information back to the Source system and update the PO with the SO#.

I can think of using EDI and workflow to accomplish this requirement. EDI will ensure in creation of idoc with the creation of PO and workflow should be in place to trigger the order creation.

But we might have to get in to specifics to understand the complexity of this development.

Thanks & regards,
