3rd Party Sales::Create Automatic PO in Item Cat vs. in SL Catgy

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I've a query regd the 3rd party sales order processing.

There is an indicator at item category level, we've an indicator 'Create PO Automatic'.

Also, at Schedule Line category level, for CS, we've indicators for Order Type as NB and Item category as 5(Third-party).

Can somebody explain the importance of each and the relevant settings required to configure 3rd party sales?

Also, how to configure to trigger automatic PO?

Rgds,

Raghu.

Dear Raghu,

In third Party the Goods move dorectly from your Vendor (supplier) plant to your Customer's premises. Goods dont enter your PLant at all.

Thus for every Sales Order you need to have equal & same Purchase order. So whenever you create a Third party Sales Order, the system automatically triggers a Purchase Requisition.

When you adopt this Purchase requisition, you create a Purchase Order of Equal quantity. Thus your Purchase & Sales are linked. Then you do subsequent Sales process.

Hope this Helps,

Reward if you feel like.. .

Hi

In Schedule line category we specify the default Document type. The Automatic creation happens only it it is configured in the Item Category.
