Link between Picking List items & Purchase Order No. (URGENT)

Former Member

Hi All,

I have a interesting issue at hand. I would like to know if i can maintain the link of a material with the Purchase Order No. with which it was procured from. I know once the MRP run is done, the Materials create a requirement & this then is converted to a PO, then the PO is received (Mvt - 101).

The challenging part is once the Picking List (CO27) is generated & the items are kitted to the shop floor (Mvt 261), the link between the material & its PO No. is lost. Is there anyway i can continue this link. In the picking list, can i enter the PO No.? I see a column titled Purchasing Document, but not sure from where the data to this field is being read. If someone can map this link for me, would be highly appreciated. Look forward to your ideas on this issue.

Vivek,

If you are using batch management then you could enter the PO number in the Vendor Batch/ vendor in MSC1N in Basic data (Trading data).

Or you can create a charactristic in batch for PO number.

May be useful...I hope..

I am sure abot PO number in pick list..

Hi Ram,

I wish to inform you, we are not using Batches. So need to find out some other solution to maintain this link. Any ideas?

Vivek,

It is not possible without batch management.

Reason:

Requirements in the pick list is for say 1000 Nos.

You receive the material from different vendors. Now all the stock goes into the same heap. There is no distiction. When you check the material availability it is done at Plant/ stg loc/ Material level - not at vendor GR. The reservation in your pick list is created at Plant/stg loc/mat level.

You could have done this if you receive separate batches for different POs. then by batch determination you could have got individual pick list items which can be linked to the vendor/ po.

Hope useful.

Hi Ram,

Thank you very much for giving a clear picture on this issue. I just thought if there was anyway for the store to enter the PO No. into the Pick List of the material while they issue that material , then we could have maintained the link. The reason i thought so is, up until the time the store issues the material out, a label is put on the item, which contains the PO No. & that label is stripped off only at the time of material issue. If i can enter the no. even in a text field or something i would still have the reference. Just give it a thought, if something like this can be done, if not then i guess we will adopt the batch management system to maintain the link. Thanks once again.

Hi Ram

Please let me know Is there any possibility of linking Purchase Orders with Production order components if there is only one fixed vendor without batch management.When I execute CO27 tcode by passing production order, the components of production order and purchase order numbers against that components should be generated in picklist to issue for that production order.

Please let me as it is very urgent.
