IDOC for XML POs

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I need some help to understand the process.

We are in SRM 4.0 and using extended classic scenario. Backend system is ECC 6.0 and middleware for sending XML POs to vendor is connected to the backend system.

While creating a purchase order in SRM, if we select the output as XML then for those POs an IDOC will get immediately generated in backend system and get immediately sent to the middleware system. This is automated process. Earlier our SRM system was connected to 4.6C and now it has been connected to ECC 6.

In ECC 6.0 it is not generating the IDOC for XML POs. Message type used in this case is ORDERS.

IDOCs for GR and invoice are getting generated without any issues. Problem is only with the xml POs.

Could you please give me some hints to find the root cause?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Arun

Hi,

What is the test result when you create a PO manually in MM?

Do you see copy PO in MM after PO is created in SRM?

For Pos directly created in MM, IDocs are getting generated.

Also POs created in SRM are getting transfered to R/3 and we could able to post GR and invoice for the PO.

Could any one please suggest, where we have to make the setting for generating IDOC in backend system?

Is it get triggered from SRM system or it has been triggered by backend system itself?

Are there any setting missing?

Please advise.

Hi,

PO is sent from SRM to Supplier in Extended Classic standard.

I guess you changed somethong in R/3 4.6C but did not apply same change in ERP 6.0.

Please check this.

Masa,

Yes, you are correct. With some custom FMs we are generating IDOCs. That FM is cheking the table ADR12. If the FTP address is filled for the vendor address number, then it is generating the IDOC.

But, do you have any idea, where we are maintainig this FTP adress in backend system. I checked the address tab of XK03 in backend system, but couldn't find the FTP address field.

Please advise.

Thanks.
