what is purchase order flow ? plz explain me clearly?
Hi Naga,
A purchase order is a formal request or instruction from a purchasing organization to a vendor or a plant to supply or provide a certain quantity of goods or services at or by a certain point in time.
A purchase order (PO) consists of a document header and a number of items.
Steps :
1. Account Assignment - Costs can be apportioned among various Controlling objects
via the account assignment.
2. Vendor Confirmations - Vendors can issue confirmations to the relevant purchasing
organization indicating their compliance or non-compliance with scheduled delivery
dates.
3. PO History - The transactions following on from a purchase order are documented in
the PO history on an item-specific basis.
4. Partner Roles - Instead of the vendor as the order recipient, other business partners
can appear in various partner roles (e.g. goods supplier or invoicing party).
5. Plant - In the purchase order, each item is destined for a certain plant. Each plant
belongs to a company code, to which the vendors (creditors) invoice is directed.
6. Texts - You can enter text in a purchase order directly or change texts that are
suggested by the system. There are two kinds of text:
a) Header text: applies to the entire document
b) Item text: applies only to the relevant item.
Transaction Code for Po creation is ME21N.
In ME21N, You must Enter the Item, Material, Quantity, Delivery date, order unit, currency, vendor and pur. Group and so on.
Thanks.

hi Mrudula
You can also create a return PO using the normal transaction ME21N, but, at item level, setting the 'returns item' indicator (EKPO-RETPO).
Then you can post a normal goods receipt in MIGO for this purchase order. Just use the movement 101 as always in the first line (MIGO - Goods receipt - Purchase Order - PO number - Movement 101). Then the system will automatically convert this movement 101 + into the 161 - under the "Where" tab.
You will be able to create a Purchase order with several positions, some of them flagged as "returns" and some others not. When posting the goods receipt you will post a 101 for the normal items and a 161 for the return items.
This is to reflect an scenario in which your vendor delivers some goods and you take advantage of the fact that the truck is there to load into it the materials that you want to return. You post at the same time the 101 for the goods you receive from your vendor and a 161 for the goods you send back to your vendor.
