Convert A Purchase Requisition (AG) to Planned Order (AI)

[former_member568621]

Dears,

I have a purchase requisition with a source of supply (external vendor loc type 1011) in APO and also in ECC.

I want to convert this Purchase Requisition to Planned Order in APO and in the process clear the Purchase Requisitions in ECC and send planned orders to ECC. User will decide to convert this to Purchase Requisitions if and when he/she feels the need for it.

How do I accomplish this

What are the Pre-requisities other than int models and distribution definition for external procurement ?

Thanks

Amit

Hello,

I have not yet seen that Purchase Requisition conversion to Planned Order. It's new to me as source of supply is different for in-house and external orders.

Refer SAP help document on it.

Conversion of Planned Orders

However, planned order can be converted to Purchase Requisition.

You should have distribution definition for 21 for external procurement and 31 for In-house production.

Dont you think planned orders and purchase requisitions without any supply source are the same? For simplicity sake lets assume the material is not a BOM. In which case they should be freely convertible between them. Like I planned to procure from someone a 1 month ahead. Though the supplier only needs a week's notice but somewhere in between I realize I have enough in house capacity during a planning run. I 'discover' this by changing source of supply manually in APO.

Does that sound like a reasonable business scenario?

Thanks

Hello,

Make sense, however think other way around, if I have a capacity available will produce in-house and if not then external.

So my planning output should be planned order which can be converted to in-house production or external purchase.

I think your scenario also fit in that.
