System picking up same PO while transferring the cost item in Shipment Cost Document

[former_member404428]

Hello Experts

While creating Shipment cost document when I select the transfer option for the shipment cost item system picks the same Purchase order.

I have a requirement to always create a new Purchase order instead of picking the open PO. Could you please suggest what settings would be require to achieve this. I look forward to your valuable inputs.

According to the help documentation you always have to have a PO created before you can get a service entry from freight cost settlement.  Shipment Cost Settlement with Service Agent - Transportation (LE-TRA) - SAP Library - see the section "Purchase order determination"

Did you read somewhere else that you can auto create POs from freight cost settlement?

Thanks for your inputs Jurgen

Yes you rightly said that during freight cost settlement PO is created, and I believe the same is initiated while we select the "transfer" check box for the cost item. At this very moment the PO is created for the cost item.

I have a requirement wherein when I am working with another shipment cost document and at the time of "transfer" a new PO (same Purchase org, vendor & plant) should be created instead of system proposing the same PO.

Looking forward to your valuable inputs.

I am not sure if you can make your desire happen.

There is an OSS note (bug fix) that removed this creation of new purchase orders: 740295 - RV54POCR: Transfer creates new purchase order in each case

Thanks Jurgen for your inputs,

The note is already covered in current release of the system I am working.
