Copying text from carrier into PO

Former Member

I have set up the following process. I linked the standard partner role CR carrier to the vendor master and the purchase order to make carrier determination possible.

Meaning in my vendor master I added a carrier, meaning when I create a PO for that vendor the carrier will be assigned. Now I have a text on carrier level "shipping instructions" which I would like to see on my PO. But when I create my PO and I check the header text "shipping instruction", the text from the vendor is copied and not the one from the carrier.

When I check customizing I can define all kind of copying rules but I'm not able to refer or set up a copy ole based on partner roles.

Is there a way doing this without enhancement?

Thanks

Yes, i think there's a workaround.

1. Create a new text for vendor in OBT4 (like carrier vend text).

2. Then in the copying rule for the PO text (header) --> add the vendor master as source object and the "new text" as source text, then fix ind = blank, then specify in the vendor master --> extras-text-> it will adopted to PO

Thanks for your prompt answer, but the problem is that the carrier text is stored at carrier level which is only assigned with a partner role to the vendor. Creating another text on vendor level isn't a solution as I can have more than 1 carrier for a vendor. During PO creation the correct carrier will be selected from the partner role. at that moment the text from the carrier should be taken over.

Example: vendor A has carrier X and carrier Y. Carrier X has a text X and carrier Y has a text Y.

When I create a PO for vendor A when I save the system will bring me a pop-up to choose between carrier X & T. When I select X, the text X should appear on my PO but in my current set up I get the text from vendor A.

You see a solution for that

Hi

I do not think there is any solution for this in standard SAP configuration.

You have to look at the user exit / BADI for this purpose.

Dear Walter,

Seems that your carrier is flexible, and its not possible in standard for this requirement, its recommend that you custom a table to store the text for combination of vendor and carrier and insert it to PO as per you requirement.
