#CoE#HP01 How to create a sales order based on the purchase order?

[former_member778497]

My client implements SAP S/4HANA system.A large proportion of the customer’s business is how much they purchase and how much they sell. They sell according to a "set". There are many materials in the "set". My customer wants to create a sales order based on the purchase order, which can be avoided. The manual input of the sales order is cumbersome and reduces the error rate

Hi jin. - The process does not work in this way. Normally we procure when there is a requirement. That means, in your case when you receive the sales order you procure and you sell.

The other scenario can be that you procure and out your material in stock and sell from stock. So i would suggest to use MRP and maintain stock levels in your material master. In this way you can avoid high inventory and also will be able to fulfill the sales requirements.\

The customer’s product is imported frozen meat, and the purchase cycle is very long. After the market demand is estimated, it is purchased first and then sold separately. Customers want to produce sales orders quickly and accurately, so they hope to generate sales orders through purchase orders. Or you can retrieve the corresponding stock materials through the batch number, and quickly fill in the sales order line items.

Hi jin. - The question here is what is the source of the the requirement to procure Material A, B, C, D and E. I assume you are in trading business where you procure the Material A and sell the material A to the customer. If this is the case then you should have PTO ( Purchase to order) or PTS ( Purchase to Stock) scenario.

As I mentioned earlier, it always work the other way round, the requirements first gets generated to purchase and these requirements can be from MRP, sales orders or planning, after that the procurement takes place. Normally business do not procure if there is not requirement.

Please revert back for any clarification.

If I have PTO ( Purchase to order) or PTS ( Purchase to Stock) scenario.Is it possible to directly enter one item and automatically bring out all materials? This can reduce the amount of input and the probability of error

Hi jin. - Can you please provide some more details that why from Purchase order you want to create a sales order. Normally in the sales scenario the procurement comes after we booked the sales order. So in sales scenarios, whether you buy for stock or you buy for particular sales order. We would like to know the scenarios where you would like to create the Sales order from Purchase order.

Generally its works the other way, the Purchase orders can be created with reference to the sales orders. You can check the scope items BDK or BD3.

Thank you for your reply. My demand is this: A large part of the customer's business model is to sell as many materials as they purchase. For example, if you purchase five materials A, B, C, D, and E, you will sell five materials A, B, C, D, and E, even the quantity is the same. Therefore, in order to reduce the amount of input and reduce the error rate, I hope to create a sales order with reference to the purchase order.
