How I can automatically generate purchase orders in SRM?

[alonso_valenzue]

Hi Gurus,

When I create a Shopping Cart (SC), in "Source of Supply" tab I can select a contract as source of supply.

How I can automatically generate a purchase order (PO) with contract data (vendor, price, etc.)? So that the operational purchaser does not have to enter the system to generate the PO.

In ERP (ECC 6.0) exists ME59N transaction, is there something similar in SRM?

The system is:

Component software: SRM_SERVER

Release: 700

Level: 0008

Support package: SAPKIBKV08

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Alonso Valenzuela

Hi,

In SPRO under Sourcing, you can set 'Souring never carried out' for all your product categories to ensure that purchaser never intervenes.

Hi,

Like ME59, there is no option available to create a PO automatically in SRM. If you want you can achieve this in 3 ways.

1. Creating SC Via CATALOGS ( In this case after approval PO will be created directly and most of the cases PO will be transferred to ECC i.e in SRM that will be in ordered status.

2. You can select the sourcing relevant indication as 'Never Carried out' (Here if you created a SC without source of supply then all such SC's will be converted into Save status PO's.

3. Do the modification in DOC_CHECK_BADI to force all SC converting to PO.

However in Case 2 & 3, still buyer's team manual intervention will be more, then need to update the PO with source of supply.

Hello,

If sourcing is not involved, PO will be created in save (if some data is missing) or in ordered status (if PO is completed).

Completed means with all mandatory data (vendor, plant, account).

if you can force in SC that you have to fill SoS (do_check badi) , you dont need anything else to get the PO created if all required data is filled.

on approval of SC, it will automatically create POs.

ya, you need to have some configuration like: activate extended classic(if you want local POs)
