Hi Venkat,
When you save a sales order that contains one or more third-party items, the system automatically creates a purchase requisition in Purchasing. Each third-party item in a sales order automatically generates a corresponding purchase requisition item. During creation of the requisition, the system automatically determines a vendor for each requisition item. If a sales order item has more than one schedule line, the system creates a purchase requisition item for each schedule line.
Purchase orders are created from purchase requisitions in the usual way. But If you want the Purchase orders to be created automatically, then you should automate the creation of purchase order by creating a job or using workflow. Other wise to create a PO from PR use ME57. A third-party order is usually created referencing a third-party item in a purchase requisition. You can create purchase orders in this way individually or collectively. For Configuring Automatic PO kINDLY PLEASE LOOK into this.
