Custom Account assignment Category not displayed while creating PO via Manage Supplier Quotation

[former_member742191]

Hi, 

We have created custom account assignment category "Z". While creating Purchase Order with reference to RFQ, the account assignment category is not displayed in the list of dropdpwn menu. Please note that this is free text material and hence it is necessary for us to create a PO with account assignment category.

Please note that there is no account assignment category "Z" dsiplayign here. Whereas, when we try to create PO using Create Purchase Order Advanced app, it is dispalyed in the dropdown menu. Could you please let us know how can add the cutsom account assignment category in this dropdown list in app "Manage supplier quotations"?

Thanks and Regards,

Roshni

Hi,

Could you please let me know how can i create a PO with custom account assignment category, with reference to RFQ?

Hi Roshni,

When you initiate a PO creation in the manage supplier quotations app, you are taken to manage purchase orders to create the PO. Here, custom account assignment categories are not supported, please check KBA 2788222 - New Account Assignment Category missing

As you mentioned, you can create these from the advanced app, please use that one as a workaround.

Best regards,

Istvan

Hi Istvan,

Yes, i had already tried creating PO using advanced app, but we cannot create a PO with reference to RFQ. In the document Overview On screen, the RFQ which we had created using app Manage RFQ is not displayed.

Could you please help here?

Thanks and Regards,

Roshni

Hi Roshni,

in the advanced app please use supplier quotations instead of RFQs, that way you will be able to create the PO.

Best regards,

istvankis Hi Istvan,

Thank you, Now I am able to pick the supplier quotations from General Purch documents with document category "O".

But the details are not getting adopted from the quotations, not even the vendor. It is like creating fresh PO.

Could you please help?

In Istvan, We have only the below options for creating PO "with reference to". In the document overview on list we have RFQ. Screenshot attached.

But when we click on Request for Quotations, in the next screen of Purcashign documents Document Category "A" is default. When we click on execute, "No data satisfying selection criteria exists" is displayed.

Hence, when we click on RFQ from document over On, neither RFQ number nor supplier quotation number is displayed.

May I know how can we create PO with reference to Supplier quotation?

Thanks and Regards,

Roshni

Hi Roshni,

under document overview, choose selection variant/general purchasing documents, and on the next screen select document category „O” to display the list of quotations

[former_member635301]

Hi Roshni,

please enter the quotation number into the RFQ field of the line item, that way the data gets adopted

[former_member742191]

Hi Istvan,

I had already tried creating the PO by providing the supplier quotation in the RFQ field. But in this case, the process flow in RFQ does not show the PO number. Please find the screenshot attached herewith.

[former_member742191]

Is there any way we can have the process flow as well? Our client wants to see the process flow.

[former_member635301]

Ideally after you create an RFQ and the subsequent quotation, then you use the Mange supplier quotations app to create the PO as well, this is the intended process. Using the Create PO advanced app is only a workaround since custom account assignment categories are not available in the Manage PO app. So that is why you see the process flow only in case the fiori apps were used.
