Hi,

Check in t-code T_56 or Logistics Execution-Transportation-Shipment Costs-Shipment Cost Document-Shipment Cost Types and Item Categories..

Here whether u hav maintained the Auto.PO relevancy for ur Ship.cost doc.type - select ur Shipment item category double clickon this Generate PO shuld be A or B or C...it must not be BLANK.

Hi JJ.

i checked in T_56, all my item categories are with value "B" in Generate PO.

Still it is not generating PO.

Hi,

In that case, check whether you are marking the Transfer field at the item level during the shipment cost document creation in VI01. Also check Assign purchasing data:

 Logistic Execution Transportation-Shipment Costs-Settlement- Assign Purchasing Data

Assign transportation planning point to shipping condition, purchase organization, purchasing group and to plants.

In apart from what I responded yesterday.

Check following:-

1. IMG- MM.- Purchasing - Define default Values for Document Type

Here you will have to assign the default Document Type which you are using to create the PO for transporter in the transaction ME21N.

2. IMG - LE - Transportation - Shipment Cost - Ship Cost Document - Shipment Cost Type & Item Category

Here for your Shipment Cost Type Item category activate the "Generate PO" field.

3. IMG - LE - Transportation - Shipments Cost - Settlement - Assign Purchasing Data

Assign transportation service group to Plant, Transportation planning point and Shipment cost document type, so the system can find the suitable purchase order for settling the transportation cost.

Maintain

- Transportation planning point

- Shipment cost type

- Purchasing organization

- Purchasing group

- Plant

Try to set field V_TVFTK-PRZST to "D" for your shipment document type / item category combination.

SPRO > LE > Transportation > Shipment Cost > Shipment Cost Document > Shipment Cost Types and Item Categories

Check following path:

IMG- Material Mgt. - Purchasing - Define default Values for Document Type

Thanks & Regards
