you can get ebeln from EKKO and based on that you can get MATNR and EBELP from EKPO

It means that you need to create vendor before creating purchase order and purchase order before creating post.

EKPO is sufficient, you need no fields of EKKO and the database insure that it exists. (look at external key on table EKPO)

Hi

"without master data there is no header data and without header data there is no item data"

This means Master data means the data which will not be changed frequently. So header data like material data will not be changed frequently.

The data of the item data is dependent on the header data. What ever data you will have in header data, other data corresponding to that data only will be there in the item data which will be changing frequently. In order to enter any data in to the item data table first you need to maintain header data in the header table then only you can enter data into the item data table.

Hope this will help you.
