Extended Classic PO output pass to R3 ?

[Former Member]

1. Extended classic Purchase Orders are fully approved (no approval required workflow) in SRM - status "HELD"

2. When we process PO and "order" - the PO is transmitted to R/3 (great, everything seems to be there).

3. There are no messages associated with the SRM (ECPO) purchase order in R3.

Do we need additional configuration to associate a new message type with the SRM ECPO? Should a "message" come along with the extended classic PO as it is transferred to R3?

Hope everyone out there is doing well - !

For extended classic it is not possible without tweaking to get output from R/3. Check thread for more information.

Hi Jim,

We faced the same problem, but since we are in NetWeaver2004s & ECC 6.0 the new enhancement framework provided by SAP helped us a lot.

Please follow these steps:

1) Maintain the output determination config in R/3

2) In the FM BBP_PO_INBOUND just do a souce code enhancement at the first line. and add the below code which will make R/3 to perform output determination

 CLEAR NO_MESSAGING. 

This just solved our problem. Since this is an source code enhancement you have no need to modify the std program as well.

Jim,

If I understood correctly,

You are on Extended classic scenario. You want to give out puts from R/3 backend.

In such a case, you have to maintain the condition records for the ECPO type purchase orders, and you need to have a message type, include this message type in the message schema. All this configuration has to be done in R/3 side.

If I did not understand your question properly, please explain.

Of course, our goal is to have messages / output associated with the R/3 PO so that we can print the PO, fax it, etc.

Thank you for any ideas - Best, Jim
