How system copy ship to address in third party case

[prashant_sharma21]

Hello Experts,

My query is regarding the delivery address.

There are two business process Third party and Individual purchase order. in which Po is created with reference to SO through PR (SO >> PR >> PO). I see Delivery tab at item level of both process.

Third party process SO >> PR >> PO delivery address tab - system copy ship to party address from Sales order.

Individual Purchase order SO >> PR >> PO delivery address tab - system copy receiving plant address.

I want to know how delivery address tab work ? how system copy ship to address in third party case whereas in case of individual purchase order it copy receiving plant address only.

Thanks

Dear Prashant,

ALE function is used for auto PO creation through PR in Third party process.

If it is automatic purchase order creation then the indicator of auto PO need to be marked in item category then source of supply needs to be exist for third party items.

Finally the document type for the purchase order should be assigned for sales org under Enterprise structure definition.

There is an field Address text name (ADRS) to find the shipping address.

hope you clear...

Hello Karna,

It does not matter of auto PO creation. If I create the purchase Order  from PR (which was created through SO) I see address is copied from ship to party to Delivery address tab of PO.

In simple words I write down my issue.

The PR which was created from Third party sales order has Ship to party address in Delivery Address Tab of PO whereas the PR which was created from Individual Purchase Order (Individual Purchase Order is same as third party order but in Individual Purchase Order vendor deliver the goods to receiving plant not directly to customer) has Receiving Plant Address in Delivery Address Tab. I want to know how It happens??

Thanks

It is a hardcoded logic in SAP programs.
