Free items in a catalog

[beat_fuchs]

Hello

We are using a external catalog. There are free items (price = 0) in this catalog.

For this free items the system is generating a PR in the backend system. We want

to have a PO even if the price is 0.

Were i can do this configuration?

Thanks for answers

Hi,

In standard, price will never determine the follow-on document type.
The determination can be done via customizing or BADIs as below:

SAP Supplier Relationship Management
SRM Server
   Cross-Application Basic Settings
     Define Objects in Backend System (Purch. Reqs, Reservations, Purch. Orders)

BADIs:
BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW
BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW
BBP_CREATE_BE_RS_NEW

For your case, you have to check if you have implemented any BADI to use price to determine document type, such as doc_change badi, etc.

Hi Ivy

Thanks for your answer.

We don't have implemented a BADI. I think the reaction to create a RQ is caused in the zero price. The system declarete a position without price as "uncomplete".

Hi,

I think wiki https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/x/doNwAg already documented how you can find the coding where this is determined, and you may consider using enhancement or BADI to realize your expectation.

Hello,

to have a whole process overview, have a look at wiki Determination of the follow-on document type

Concerning your issue, read Define Objects in Backend System customizing.

I guess, for external procurement, you use Purchase order if item data is complete, otherwise purch. req

In your case, as PO item is incomplete (No price), a PR is created.
