Info records pulling into purchase orders

I have created an info record for a material group only (i.e. without material master as it is for a non-stock item).  It is my understanding that this creates a vendor-material group relationship.  When creating a purchase order for this unique combination of vendor & material group, the info record information only pulls in if I physically type the info record number within ME21 (or choose it from the drop down list).  I would have thought that given that there is only 1 info record for each vendor-material group relationship, that the info record info should pull in automatically.  Is there any way of doing this? 
My ultimate aim is to automatically pull in a tax code when each purchase order is created.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

you say ME21, is this a typo or do you really work with this old transaction?
Is your PO just for a text material, or do you purchase a material that has a material number?
If material with material number, then the info record for a material group will not come in, even the material group entered in the material is the same.
usually my process starts with a requisition, and next step is assign vendor e.g. with ME57, this assignment brings the info record into the game.

  • Info records field in Purchase Order

    How can we make info-record field mandatory for selected purchasing organization when creating Purchase Order using ME21N.

    I can think of 3 options:
    1) Use field settings if you want it mandatory for all purchasing organizations.
    2) Another way would be to create 2 document types - one with info record mandatory and other with info record optional. People purchasing for the purchasing organizations where info record is required will be authorized only for the first document type (where info record is mandatory)
    3) Use user exit EXIT_SAPLEBND_002 (the one for PO Release). This can be activated even if PO release is not active.

  • Creating new DMS info record directly from purchase order transactions

    Hello Everybody,
    does anyone knows of a way to make it possible for users to Create New DMS info record directly from the purchase order transactions ?
    e.g:
    in ME22N there is a button of "Documents" for an item level in the order, but that button only allows to link an existing info record.

  • Changing fields read from info record in a Purchase Order

    Hello,
    At some point, when a PO is entered via ME21n (on each item entered), an info record is selected and its contents are read (if the info record exists).
    Is there any BADI that can help me manipulate these contents (check them and change them)? If not, is there any enhancement technology that you would recommend in order to achieve this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Joao

    Why do you have to do that?
    If the reqmnt is there than why don;t you chane the Info records itself.

  • Get Linked Document info into Purchase Order

    Hi,
    There is a popup which comes up upon pressing the attachment key in ME21N. This is currently blank.
    My requirement is to fill this popup with Linked Document Info from Material master into Purchase order at PO creation (ME21N).
    The fields that I want are
    DRAW-DOKVR (Document Version) or DRAD-DOKVR
    DRAW-DOKNR (Document Number)
    I found a BADI Document_main01 but how do I pass material number (EKPO-MATNR) to it as the OBJKEY in DRAD table.
    Is there any other way to populate the document number and version which is stored in the material master.
    Appecriate your help !

    Hi Shyam,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Could you please briefly explain your point.
    I am stuck up at some point and unable to find exactly the place to insert the specified data in the BAPI.
    Also note that I need to update data which I will take from Sales order in header text of PO. This data should automatically be picked up while Saving the PO.
    Useful replies will be definitely rewarded.

  • How to pull out Purchase Order text in ME11/ME12/ME13

    Hi,
    Kindly let me know how to extract Purchase Order text from TEXT tab in ME13.
    I have got Info Record note but I am unable to get Purchase Order text.
    I am using the following FM which is given below.It seems error.
    Please kindly let me know how to do this.
    CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

                  client                  = sy-mandt
                  id                      = 'BT'

    Your need to use READ_TEXT FM Properly:

    language : EN
    text id BT
    Object EINE
    CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
    EXPORTING
    client = sy-mandt
    id = 'BT'

  • Purchase Requisition conversion into Purchase Order

    Hi,
    We are developing an intercompany process and we have a problem with the purchase requisition conversion.
    When we convert the PURCHASE REQUISITION into PURCHASE ORDER we need to mantain purchase requisition ITEM number/s.
    For example:
    PURCHASE REQUISITION: 10015720 / 50 / 60 ---> PURCHASE ORDER: 210515 / 50 / 60   
    We are trying to do it with some enhancements but we have not found any solution. Is posible to customize this requirement ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    Hi Orion
    I suggest you to translate it to english before somebody feels awful. Orion's customer wants mantain a kind of register to trace or manage the traceability for this flow from SO to PO in a cross company scenario.
    If a understand you, you do this flow:
    SO from a customer not cross company-> request from this SO to other company cross company -> PO with ME59 (is the third part customer if I'm right)
    Do you check all flow in VBFA table? I suggest to see the SAP Note 627846 - AFS: Purchase order document flow for
    sales order incorrect, although it's so older, it gave me ideas in the past. I suggest you to avoid 'handle' the fields related with key fields (number of documents, number of items, and so on). Create reports or create customer tables and populate records for this trace. After, you can create lists for your customer to know about this traceability.
    If you are agree other possibilty is enhance SAP tables with customer fields and see them in the documents. There a lot of tools to do it (VOFM subroutines in the copy rules, BADI's and enhancemetns to see customer fields in new tabs in SO, PO and so on).
    I hope this helps you
    Regards
    Eduardo

  • INFO UPDATE in the purchase order ( ME21N)

    Why the field INFO UPDATE in the purchase order ( ME21N) is not flaged when I create a purchase order?
    I create a PO, and I flag it in ME21N, but it cancel it? WHY
    I have already tried it in spro Default values for purchasing, and all seem good!!
    Anybody could tell how can I tick this field?
    Thanks a lot
    Kari

    Hi
    Info update indictor can be set by defualt if you maintain the same in the Purchase inforecord,
    If no inforecord exists then this would not be flagged and if you flag it then the Purchase inforecord gets created with the update of with or wothout plant based on the default value assigned to the buyers.
