I have a requirement which is creating a purchase order with ORDERS05 inbound idoc.

Any idea?

Best regards!

First read some online help (IDoc Interface / Electronic Data Interchange (BC-SRV-EDI)) e.g. Processing IDocs, Inbound Processing or use search tool to understand required configuration and how to use transactions as WE21 ports, WE20 Partner Profiles, etc.

Thanks for your tips, but I have already done that...Sorry but your reply didn't help me.

Inbound ORDERS05 always creates a Sales Order ( VA01 ) in SAP. From Business Perspective also it is right thing.

Please clarify if you actually mean while saving the SO you want to create a PO ( ME21N ) ?

Hi Rudra,

Thanks for your reply, but I create a SO if the transport is between a SAP system and a NON-SAP system.

If the transport is between two SAP systems, I would need a PO, I mean an STO.

Hiya,

Then AFAIK you would need a total custom solution and can use some BAPI like BAPI_PO_CREATE1 . Standard inbound posting FM is not going to help.

So the logic should be

1. Create a new Inbound Posting FM and Inside the FM you can use the following logic

2. If between SAP and NON SAP call standard FM IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS( It will create SO )

3. If between SAP to SAP call BAPI_PO_CREATE1 ( It will create PO )

Obviously you have to do some ALE configurations in order to make it work and write some custom code.

Before asking for help, I had taken into account this solution if there wasn't any standard solution.
