Generate PO from third party sale order

[Former Member]

Hi expert,

When we save a Third Party sale order, it will generate a purchase requisition to buy items for us. I wonder if there are any methods to generate Purchase Order directly (Not via PR) from sales order ?

Thanks so much.

Hi,

As you know - only PR will be automatically getting genreated in case of third party sale order or individual purchase order.

This is because of the schedule line category - CB and CS.

When the item category is TAB/TAS - it will determine the schdule line categor CB/CS which leads to generate PR automatically.

There is an item category 'ALES' (Create PO Automatic - check box in VOV7 - will be checked) - which will create both PR and PO.

I have not used that item category yet.. I think - though we use ALES item category - it won't create automatic PO.

Except ALES item category.. - I do not have idea on ALES item category..

(i.e., PO will never be automatically created without using the transaction.)

Thanks,
