PR to PO Vendor Master Setting

[Former Member]

If i need using ME59N to convert PR to PO one of the requirement is set the auto PO in Vendor purchasing view.

I have an question is how about

I don;t set the auto PO in the Vendor Purchasing View but set under Vendor Purchasing view DC veiw auto ordering

Is it ok ?

Because I want the Auto PO function can down to Purchasing View -> DC level, but it's seems not work

OSS Note 335079 - ME59/ME59N: "Automatic purchase order" ind. in vendor master

explains a missing functionality

If a purchase requisition (PReq) is automatically converted to a purchase order using transaction ME59 or ME59N, the "Automatic purchase order" indicator must be set in the vendor master record of the source of supply. In this case, note that it is not sufficient to maintain this indicator under the alternative vendor data (plant level or vendor subrange (VSR) level). In the program, only the indicator for the general vendor data is checked even though the field is also available under the alternative vendor data.
Reason and Prerequisites
A function is missing.
Solution
There are none.

Hi,

Wasn't auto P.O check box to be maintained in the purchasing view of the vendor master, and the material master, I am not able to understand what is this DC level, that you have maintained.

Hi All,

Please see my following link for my setting

In Vendor Purchasing View i have set the Auto PO ** Ref to VN1.JPG

In Vendor Purchasing View -> Site (DC) Level I have set the Auto PO ** Ref to VN2.JPG

When i convert the the PR to PO, it will show no data find, But if i also check the Auto PO in VN1.JPG then it is ok.

So do you all have this experience before ? cause i want to set the auto PO function down to purchasing view site level.

Thanks a lots

If you have check auto PO in material master purchasin view and DC level in vendor master than it should work. only thing remeber when you run ME59/ME59N make sure the release date from PR you have selected correctly or PR is released

Thanks Charlie

I have double check the setting it seems correct . but PR is still can't convert to PO

My case is

Material Master already set the Auto PO

Have Info Record and Source List

Vendor Auto PO is set under Purchasing DC view not under Purchasing View

but seems can't convert the PR to PO

On the other hand i do another testing, i go back to the vendor master and check the Auto PO under Vendor Purchasing View.

Then it is able to convert the PR to PO, so it seems the Auto PO function can;t break down to DC level.

Do you know what wrong for my setting ?

Hello,

Please check whether you were trying to convert PR to PO for the same DC for which you maintained the Vendor Purchasing View at plant level. For other plants, it will not work.

Thanks,
