PO Text link for diff. freights

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

I have a quite specific query. Is it possible to link for a desired vendor two different text meesages depending on the freight used?

For instance, in case I need to set a PO to be shipped via air freight, I would like automatically to have a text filed with a specific forwarder contact information, but if I set it as an Ocean freight, that text should change to a different contact.

I couldn't find it in previous threads so I placed a new question.

Best regards,

In standard, text will be copied as per text linkage settings.

You can see the text linkage for sequence no from the path OLME-Purchase Order-Texts for Purchase Orders-Define Copying Rules for Header Texts or Define Copying Rules for Item Texts.

Here you will find the standard possible source object and source text.

As per your requirement, as of my knowledge, there are no standard workaround. You have to do it via your own development. Maintain these texts as per your requirement in a Z table and find a suitable to trigger the text as per your logic.

Hi,

   There is no standard functionality for the requirement as of my knowledge. You may go for development - please check the BAdI: ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST.   You may maintain the text in vendor master or in a ztable and then pull the text in PO based on your own logic.

PO header text can be copied from vendor master. But to get it copied based on mode of transport is not possible in standard. You can of course use a suitable exit or BAdI.

The other way would be to use partner function. You can define Freight service agt or Forwarding Agent as the partners of the main vendor. There would be 2 different vendors based on the mode of transport. You can always pull the address in your output based on the Partner.
