Hello Mitesh,

Need some basic information.

Are you managing purchase requisition in external system otehr then your main SAP system? Please explain the business scenario.

If you are managing your Purchasing requisition in the same SAP systems then there are standard procedures available to create the PO/contract with reference to PR.

Hope this helps.

Hi Aarif,

Thanks for taking time to reply .

We are palnning to integrate SAP and non SAP systems.

The business Process is as under .

(1) PR will be generated in ERP (Manaul/MRP)

(2) PR will be coverted into RFQ (for which there is no appropriate source of supply

in ERP)

(3) Sourcing will be done in non SAP system. RFQ will be created with dummy vednro (for example say "source") to identify RFQs to be sent to another system.

These RFQs needs to be sent using IDOC alonwith reference PR numbers and line item numbers.

Multiple PRs will be combined into one RFQ as multiple line items.

(4) Non SAP system will do sourcing and generates either PO or master outline agreement and have reference PR/RFQ numbers and line item numbers.

No SAP system will send PO/outline agreement information to SAP system in XML file format to generate inbound IDOC in SAP .

(5) This inbound idoc will generate PO/outline agreement in SAP.

From SAP functionality point of view, I ca createPO/outline agreement with reference to PR but <b>My Question is how I can generate PO/outline agreement in SAP through IDOC and using "Reference PR or RFQ numbers".</b>

Looking forward to help ASAP.

Hello Mitesh,

Thanks for detailed explaination.

I think the functional module BAPI_PO_CREATE will help you to achieve your objective. You can find detailed documentation in SE37 tran code under documentation.

You can take some idea from the following link on how to use this BAPI.
