Auto PR Generation based on Customer

[Former Member]

Hi, All Experts

Would like to check if it is possible to drive the PR generation by Customer?

In the sap system today, I can see that the generation of PR is via material, plant and sales order shedule lines. Is this the only option in the sap system?

Are there any other options available in the sap system which we can also use?

Please help and advise. Many thanks!

Best Regards,

Before we suggest any method can u please let us know the benefit of having PR generated by the customer & not the Purchase department.

We have a business requirement which they want to group the requirement by customer group to generate a PR document.

For example, customer 1, 2, 3 may have 3 SO requirement. The business want to group these 3 SO requirement into one PR but not other customer requirement.

Is this possible (eg. via configurations, BAPI, BADI, or etc...)?

Hi, All Experts

Would you please also advise on all possible ways which a PR can be created in the sap system?

From my understanding, the possible ways are:

1) Based on sales order schedule lines (via MD01, MD02, MD03)

2) Based on sales order item category

3) Manual via ME51N

Are there any other possible ways (manual or auto) besides the above?

Please help and advise. Many thanks!

One Scenario: Third Party. Item catgeory TAS. due to the schedule line category of this item category (CS) - A PR is created automaticlaly during order save. You can process them using ME58. And then process PO using ME59N.

ME51N to create PR by giving the material and Vendor and all details.

Hi, Sai

Thanks for your reply.

The scenario which you have mentioned refers to the creation of PR via the sales order item category. Is that right?

For ME56 and ME57, it is used to assign & process the Source of Supply to Requisitions.

Thus, we need to have the list of PR docs on hand before we can use these t-cdoes. Right?

Is there any other possible ways/methods to generate PR other than those mentioned above?

Any suggestion on how to drive the PR generation by Customer Group?

Maybe have to do it via codings, BAPI or BADI, etc... instead of configurations?

Many thanks!

Try following tcode

ME59 - RM06BB10 - Automatic Generation of POs

ME59N - RM06BB30 - Automatic generation of POs

Maintain different Document type for 3rd Party PR and provide the same in the above mention tcodes.

Thanks & Regards,
