Personnel Number @ PO Item level

[Former Member]

Hi,

I would like to know is there any Personnel Number at PO item level?

I could not find such field in ME21N.

However, when I run MIRO to enter incoming Invoice for PO.

I can find a personnel number available at the grid, although it is just a '0' now.

I would to know where this personnel number come from?

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,

Chris

HI,

Currently in the standard, it is not possible to save the "Personnel

number" in the Purchase Document. So Purchasing document

customizing screens do not allow you to maintain this field.

You have to select another account which does not require the Personne

number field or change the attributes of this field for the field

status group of the account code.

Sunitha.

Hi,

What would you want to use this field for?

If you have a use for this filed it may be that there is a way to populate it, but we would need to know why the personnel number would be relevant on the PO?

Would it be the personnel number of the person entering? Buying? Requesting? the PO?

Thanks Steve for answering.

It is not the personnel number of the person entering. It should be the personnel number of the person requesting.

The relationship between PO and the personnel number is that, for some important person like people in the board of director of the company, which has a account in the chat of account, we could like to keep track what they requested, what they bought.

If possible, to have a accounting entry to their respective account.

Moreover, for the case that some internal staff buy things, we would like to keep track this information too.

Then is it possible to tell me how to activate this field in PO?

Or it is not possible? If so, then where that personnel number in MIRO come from???

Many Thanks!

Hi,

I have always used the "requisitioner" field on the PO for this. By using their SAP user id instead of the personnel number, the reports are easier to read (that is if you use meaningful SAP userids such as as initial and surname)
