Issue when converting PR’s to PO’s using ME59

[SAPSupport]

Hi Team,

In summary the issue is that the PO’s automatically created by ME59 is not getting “Invoice Receipt Indicator” on Invoice tab automatically populated, which leads to “Free of Charge” indicator set and PO has 0 price.

When I use another PR with the same settings and convert it via ME57 (and ME21N), the “Invoice Receipt Indicator” is automatically populated during conversion and PO get the correct price from Info Record.

This program is running without issues in Production, but with slightly different dataset up.

What you are seeing is standard behaviour in the (legacy) transaction ME59 (not the Enjoy / N variant) -

If you are seeing this in ME59 as well as other tcodes, the data in the materials used needs to set "Price Transfer" as they are not set with this by default (in either ME59 or ME59N).

(If this is the case, ensure that the PIRs have not been altered or modified in the period between amending PR to PO)

To have the checkbox transferred, refer to KBA 1872221

(I've included the text here for your convenience):

This is standard design.
As of release 4.6C, the indicator 'Invoice receipt' is transferred from the purchase requisition ***only if the indicator 'Price transfer' is set simultaneously***.

Resolution

There are two options to transfer Invoice Receipt indicator from PR to PO:

Use T-code ME59 to create PO in stead of ME59N.
OR set 'Price transfer' in PR and keep using ME59N to create PO. SAP Note 393367 contains details of setting 'Price transfer'.

To transfer the indicator to PO, just ensure these settings are done as above - but again, if this does not work, ensure the PIRs are correct and up to date with copies transferred from live / production.

Hope this helps!
