Auto PR/PO creation during sales Order save

[Former Member]

Hi SD experts,

I have a requirement to create Auto PR/PO in a different plant upon saving the sale Orders.

Sales Order will be entered in plant 1000 (Sales) but PO should be created in plant 2000(Receiving) with reference to the Sales Order Items.

Please let us know if that is possible.

I already checked item category to Automatic PO and Sch, line category to create PR  But the system is creating PR in the sales plant but I need to override this to create it in a receiving plant which is 2000.

Thanks!

Hi,

In standard system it will not be possible. For this requirement you need to go with a z development where in you need to replace the plant at sales order line item on run time basis on some criteria (example maintaining the supplying and corresponding receiving plant in a Z table) so that system can consider at sales order save point and the same can flow in PR. for this you need to find a enhancement point, probably sit with ABAPer and in debug mode try to find the enhancement point.

But really curious to know why this requirement come up where in sales order one plant is there and in PR & PO other plant is required. Please help us to understand the same.

Thanks.

Hi Sumeet,

Thanks for the reply. Here is the requirement.

It is a global system with multiple company codes.

Company Code "A" procures Raw Materials from Company code "B".

So "A" requests parts from "B" by email . When "B" is ready with the stock,

They will enter sales Order against "A" 's customer account and they will ship products and Invoice.

But "B" as of now tracking inventory on spreadsheets and now wants to utilize SAP functionality to track inventory by system .

This is the As -IS Process.

We wanted to extend the same process to automate it.

Now company code "A" wants to track inventory in the system. So the requirement is to auto generate the PO against Sales Order created by B with the promised stock.

When A receives stock - they will do physical count and issue MIGO against PO.

Hi,

Then why you want to map this as sales and purchases?

For this kind of process SAP has STO - Inter company, explore the same and map it it will solve your issue in standard SAP.

Thanks.
