Automatic PO isnt working from TAB item category

[former_member666941]

Hello

I have a TAB item category and I want to automatically generate a Purchase order. When I save the SO, I get a PR automatically generated, but thats it.

In configuration, I have setup the following

1) Check off auto PO in item category TAB (VOV7)

2) In Sales Organization, enabled ALE (Define Purch Org/Plant/Vendor/Purch Group)

3) Create info record

4) create Vendor (Auto PO check)

5) create material (auto PO check)

I've checked schedule lines, item categories, all sorts of things but still cant find the cause.

In another client, it works perfectly.....

Does the ALE function need to be activated or something?

The PR is generating, so i know the transfer is working.

If anyone can give me any advice on how I can check the ALE function, I would appreciate it.We are on ECC 6.0

Regards

Ken

Hi,

As per the standard, whatever you have done and the behaviour of the system is fine. PO will not be created automatically. You have to create it through ME59 with the automatically generated PRs.

Thanks

Hi thanks for responding

Within SPRO- Enterprise Structure -> Definition -> SD -> Define Sales Organization

There is a location where you can enter ALE: Data for Purchase Order

You enter the Purch Org/Purch Group/Plant/Stor location/Vendor

In another client I have, This will automatically convert the PR into a PO, so when you save the SO, A PO number can be seen in the SD document flow.

But I cannot get it to work in my current client.....

Hi Ken

That has to through an enhancement then.

The client where the same scenario is working just check if they have some enhancement that converts a PR into PO automatically.
