How to identify a PO as a manually created PO

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I am newbie for SRM.

As you know, the PO was created manually (a buyer creates a new purchase order via full-buyer process) vs. automatically (PO was created and ordered automatically after approval of a catalog based shopping cart).

now, when I take a look a PO, I how to know this is created manually?

and I want to make a identify ON SRM system. what must I do?

and now I find a FM BBP_PD_PO_GETDETAIL. I think it can be done.

if FM is okay, what should I do? where call this FM? BAdi? BAPI?

perhaps you can give me a detail info. thanks.

Hi

You can check this in Tx BBP_PD with object type BUS2201.

Look at the field CREATED_BY in table CRMD_ORDERADM_H.

If the value in that field is WF-BATCH, PO is created automatically by workflow after approval of Shopping Cart.

If you find any user ID in that field, means PO created manually (buyer manually creates this through SOCO, purchaser worklist).

Oh, business requirement is <b>PO Creation & PO Response in SRM</b> and ask me to do:

The system shall identify this PO as a manually created PO (not an auto PO).

Maybe I add something on SRM PO Screen? if use BAPI who can tell me the BAPI name, thanks.

Hi Alice,

I do not understand why you need to identify if Po was created manually or not ...

What for ?

Do you have a different process if PO is created manually ?

Do you need it for reporting purpose ?

...

Kind regards,

Hi

Until and unless there is a link to previous doucment, you can get the details of the PO created in R/3 or SRM, using BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL / BBP_PD_PO_GETDETAIL (Incase of SRM Local PO) / META_POGETDETAIL (incase of R/3 PO).

Thanks all

Your mean is two way:

1. table CRMD_ORDERADM_H: CREATED_BY field value is WF-BATCH or other to distinguish it.

2. use this FM.

Where I do the coding?

thanks a lot.

Hi

Are you creating a new report in SRM system or where you will use this FM / BAPI ?

What's your detailed business requirement ?

Hello,

when using the function BBP_PD_PO_GETDETAIL, you have the detail on the linked object. You can identify with it if the po comes from a shopping cart or from nothing.

Hi,

As Pierre said, just check if there was a previous document (such as shopping cart) before the PO creation.

Kind regards,

Yann
