Posting Purchase Orders (IDOC Adapter) according to Vendor using BPM's

[ravi_sirigiri]

Hi,

My requirement is to post purchase orders into SAP r/3 according to vendor wise using IDOC adapter using BPM's.

Input is a FLAT File which contains all the Purchase order items/records for various vendors.

We need to process these items/records according to vendor and post it into SAP r/3 using IDOC Adapter within 8hrs processing time(Time Bound).

What i mean is: the process should collect all respective vendor related items/records from the flat file and post respective purchase orders in SAP. That means if 5 items out of 20 are from one vendor, we shud create a PO in SAP with 5 items for that vendor and likewise for the rest of the items.

Please explain the procedure and detail Mapping in step by step procedure... how to send 'n' items for a PO.

Regards,

Ravi

Source WIKI. As far as BPM is concerned, set the correlation based on vendor number. this will ensure u collect the message according to vendor number.

there are two option set for ur for posting the PO WRT vendor number:

1. using BAPI

2. using idocs

The mapping for both the methods are straight forward except care need to be taken for mapping the data segment esp WRT the vendor number.
