AUtomatically populate APO VMI Purchase Order Ranges

[former_member183575]

Hi Friends,

We have implemented the VMI functionality in APO. We also Maintain Customer PO Ranges in customizing so that Purchase Order Number is populated in the TLB VMI-Sales Order and subsequently visible in the Customer PO field VBAK-

BSTKD of the Sales Order Header after the Sales Order is transferred to ECC.

My question is this: Our Customers supply a new range of Purchase Orders every week and we are steadily increasing the number of VMI customers. Having to manually maintain the PO Number ranges every week will quickly become a massive data effort.. Is there a standard method of uploading this data from a flat file? Or do we have to develop custom programs to do this. It appears the tables that this data is stored in are:

/SAPAPO/VMIPO2_A

/SAPAPO/VMIPO4_A

/SAPAPO/VMIPO1

Thanks for any suggestions.
