We can't generate a PO from SRM (BBP_CREATE_PO_FROM_QUOT)

Question

We are in Classic Mode SRM 5,  We are moving to SRM 7.  We have a job that automatically creates POs from SRM quotes if it meets certain criteria.  The system says it is creating the PO however, we get an error and no PO number back from SAP ECC. 
In SRM 5 at some point in the logic of this function module it is going into class CL_BBP_BS_ADAPTER_PO_CRT_ERP10 method CREATE_DOCUMENT (this is where we put our enhancement point to store the PO number). However, in SRM 7 it does not appear to go into that method (and thus our enhancement is getting skipped). We need to know what in SRM 7 replaced this, or why it isn't going to it if it still should be.

Hi Nacho,
creating a PO from a Bid is part of the standard processes. Important is, that the whole process starts with a Shopping Cart or a Requisition to have the whole process. In any other case a local PO is created in SRM. Based on this information the accounting information is then available.
In order you try to create a PO from a Bid Invitation only, the PO is only created locally in SRM. There is no replication / copy possible.
