3rd party process - auto PO creation

[joris_bayer]

Hi,

I want to have the PO created automatically for the third party sales order. I ticked the auto PO box in the item category TAS but still only the PR is created. any clues?

thanks

Hi Joris,

In Third Party sales Process, only PR creation will take place online.

You need to convert PR into PO afterwards. Use following T-Codes :

ME5A - See list of Purchase Requisition

ME57 - Assign vendor & convert PR into PO

ME22N - Change Purchase Order if required

ME28 - Release PO

After that you can carry out MIGO.

I hope this answer will suffice your requirement.

Revert with your feedback.

Regards,

You can create the PO in background by using t.code ME59. In order for this program to create the PO in the background, check the box Automatic PO in the material master ->purchasing tab and in the vendor master ->purchasing data view. You may need to schedule the background job to run every hour or any other frequency depending upon your business requirement.

Hi,

I know I can use ME59(N). But as far as I know it should also be possible automatically. I guess that is why the checkbox in the it. cat TAS is there.

The help for that field reads that the functionality is designed for ALE (application link enabling). If you are looking for the same, then check OSS Note 332475 - Purchase order is not generated automatically

For other scenarios, I believe ME59(N) is the simplest approach.

Dear Joris,

In cas of 3rd party, item category TAS will only create PR automatically. PO can not be created automatically through any configuration in SPRO.

PO can only be created through ME59 or you can do custom modification to create PO automatically.

Hi Joris,

In 3rd party order PR will be created automatically which can be seen in Schedle line of Sales order, If your business requirement is this then you can go for enhancement with the help of Tech team.

Thanks
