Automatic PO Creation thru assign PR to source of supply (me57)

Hello,
I'd like to have an automatically created PO out of my PR thru ME57. I assign the PR to a source. and press the nice button for generate PO.
But then it doesn't generate the PO, it just shows me the me21n with the PR in the document overview in the left.
I found a setting in customizing: mm/consumption based planning( procurement proposals/ Define Conversion of PR into PO.
There i set the tick for auto 'save PO when assigning' which says: Indicates whether purchase order items, RFQ items or scheduling agreement delivery schedule lines are to be generated automatically from the assigned purchase requisition items.
But it didn't work.
In a nutshell, can you tell how to configure automatic po generation thru me57?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards, Paul.

ME57 will drive you through the screen where you have to select the reqs from document overview and drop in the Po basket to create the PO
it will not generate automatically in one click
if you want this functionality then you have to use transction ME59N.
ME57 will assist you from assginment list to PO creation but not in one click
use ME59N for generating automatic PO
to do that in your vandor master check auto PO on purchasing screen and check auto PO in materil master purchasing view as well as the source list should be maintained (info record should exist or contract should have assigned in the source list)

  • Automatic PO Creation Thru RFQ

    Dear Experts,
    Is there any way to create automatic po thru RFQ. If yes, what should be prerequisite and T-Code, procedure.
    Regards
    GR

    Hi,
    RFQ is the the Process to select one Vendor from the set of vendors who can supply same material.
    Auto PO creation is a process to convert the PR in to PO.
    Both are 2 diff process..
    manually you can create Po wrt to RFQ..
    But the auto Po concept has 2 steps:
    1. selection of soure/vendor.
    2. converting to PO.
    during the the first process you have select the vendor based on the RFQ result and assign the vendor to that PR
    During the second step system will automatically create the PO.
    If it is fixed vendor , step 1 is not required.
    Hope this will help you..
    Thanks,

  • Automatic PO creation from SC

    Hi Experts,
    I am using SRM 7.0 with extended classic scenario and I have issue in the automatic po creation. For some Shopping Carts the PO is not automatically created. The SC is having Source of Supply Assigned and all the approves have completely approved the SC.  The latest status is  I1111          Item in Transfer Process.
    I checked in RZ20, ST22 and could not find any error or dumps.
    For the SC item under BBP_PDBEI the BE_OBJECT_TYPE is BUS2201 and BE_OBJECT_ID 1, once I trigger the PO creation manually the PO object id is reflected here.
    For such SC I am running the report BBP_ALERT_SB_NOTTRANSFERED manually which puts the SC in I1112 Error in Transmission Status and later I can trigger the SC creation from the alert monitor.
    For POs created in this manner the PO is created in Held Status without any line items, is this normal?
    I have two questions which I want to understand, how is the automatic po creation from SC setup, is there any customizing involved for the po creation from SC to happen automatically?
    What else should I check to find the reason why the the SC was stuck in I1111 status and PO was not created?

    You need to configure the Purchasing group and this will take care of automatic transfer of Doc to sourcing cockpit. Make sure you also maintain the customization for sourcing always carried out for Prod categories.

  • Source of Supply

    Hi everybody,
    We are on SRM 5.0 (classic mode). When we create a described requirement the system gets all the sources of supply from the backend system. If there are many sources of supply the system does not assign any one source of supply automatically. However if there is only one source of supply the system automatically assigns the source of supply. Is there a way to not have the system assign the souce of supply to the shopping basket (when there is only one source of supply available)? This should happen only for described requirements shopping basket.
    Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Venkat,
    <b>Currently we are using punchout. Unless we create a info record it does not create a PO in the backend system. Is there some thing we have to do for punchouts?</b>
    You dont need to get PIR and contracts for the creation of PO's from punchout catalogs. The configuration step SPRO>SRM SERVER> MASTER DATA> DEFINE EXTERNAL WEB SERVICES will let you assign the BP number for the catalog. This will be transferred to SRM shopping cart as a partner function 19 from the OCI.
    Select a business type product catalog for the new Web Service and confirm your selection with Enter. Once you do that the next page will ask you for additional info liek teh BP number for source of supply. This step will automatically ensure the transfer of the source of supply to SRM as a fixed vendor and enable the PO creation.
    If this is satisfied with this step, then you can suppress the source of supply with my workaround solution only for describe requirement. '
    Also i have a business question for you. If you want to suppress the source of supply of a product category only in the describe requirement, it really doesnt make sense as in the internal goods you use the source of supply for the same product category.
    If your business driver is creation of the follow on document on the basis of the shopping cart (describe requirement or internal goods/services), then i guess for the same product category you need to find a distinguishing criteria between the two and use a BADI to force changing the partner function from 19 to 39 (preferred vendor). This will create a PR for describe requirement.
    Hope info helps !!
    Please assign points if answer is usefull !!

  • Source of Supply Error?

    Hi,
    I am currently experiencing the following problem: (We are running SRM 5)
    I replicate vendors from the R/3 system to SRM via BBPGETVD trans code.
    I select the correct Object ID (for the Vendor Org structure I created in PPOCV_BBP)
    I check that the Vendors have been replicated (They appear in Vendor Org structure – PPOMV_BBP)
    BUT these newly replicated Vendors do not appear in the Source of Supplier when I try to assign them when creating a Shopping Cart?? It’s strange cos the previous batch of vendors I replicated worked fine and appear in the Source of Supply??
    I’ve also run the business partner check transaction: BBP_BP_OM_INTEGRATE and checked that the Org units are synchronized. I have green lights for everything.
    I’ve checked that the replicated vendor is mapped to the correct Purchasing Org, Manually in the Frontend (with Admin user via “Manage Business Partners”) and
    via the Backend with trans code BBP_UPDATE PORG. The vendor is assigned to the correct Purch Org.
    What am I missing here? Any help would be appreciated.

  • SRM 7 automatically assign source of supply in SOCO

    Hi guru,
    I'm working with SRM 7.0 extended classic scenario and i have to transfer external requirements from backend SAP into SRM Sourcing Cockpit. In the SOCO I have to determine automatically the source of supply and the price.
    I read that in the SOCo the sources relevant are:
    1. contract
    2. interlinkage
    3. vendor list ( there isn't information of price)
    Could you please explain me how it works this functionality, and the priority in the determination of supply and price?
    Have you documentation about ?
    Thank in advance
    L.

    Hello,
    If there is only one source of supply available (it does not matter if it is contract or info record), system will assign it automatically.
    If there is more than one, you can press "proposed sources of supply" button and SRM will show all available sources of supply.
    Price will be taken from sources of supply in any case.

    Ricardo

    Hi,
    1) source list and purchase info records both are mandatory for automatic PO creation ? with missing data in either of one, can I proceed ME59
    2) if i have mentioned one material for two or more vendors in ME01 and ME11, which vendor will be assigned to PO

    Just to add make sure your material master IS TICKED for automatic PO creation and vendor record is also ticked.

  • Automatic PO creation from PR ME59N

    HI,
    We are creating PO's after the PR is duly approved as per the relaese strategy.
    Can we use automatic creation functionality to reduce the manula inputs and errors.
    regards,
    ab

    Hi,
    Yes you can create Automatic PO from PR Via ME59N.
    but for this you have to check Automatic PO in both purchasing View of Material Master and Vender master .
    also maintian Purchse Info Record with T code ME11 for value and tax code and
    source of Supply in ME01 and assign source of Suppy in PR and release  PR and
    go to ME59N to create automatic PO with that PR.
    But remember that you can not put additional Conditions in PO for E.g. ur fright charges and Packaging and forwarding charges via automatic PO.

  • Contract automatically set as source of supply for PR/PO

    Hello MM experts,
    I am thinking about implementing the following scenario and I have 4 questions
    PM service order  that creates a Purchase requisition automatically.
    I will have in the system a MM contract for that material / vendor / plant
    It is possible in SAP that the contract is set automatically as a source of supply in the automatically created purchase requisition?
    If it’s not possible in the PR it’s is possible at the time of PO creation?
    What configuration is needed in the system for this?
    It is possible to automatically create a PO from a PR with no steps for the  user?
    Thanks a lot for your valuable help and regards.

    Dear,
    Here you need to consider two parameters.
    Contract  : Its an yearly or monthly contract with a desired vendor on Quantity(Quantity Contract) or Value(Value contract) based.
    But if you are creating a service P.R using maintenance order for that particular maintenance service.Here system considers the account assignment as "F".
    If you want to capture the service cost of contract,
    Create an AMC for the services of that vendor and create P.O with account assignment as "U-Unknown". At the time of service required by maintenance department, They will create a maintenance order and do service entry with respect to "Maintenance Order". So actual cost will update in maintenance order.
    You can create a "Automatic P.O "with respect to P.R as our friend Jurgen said for supply.This can be done by activating the check box in material master of "Purchasing" view.
    You have an option of assigning the agreement in 'Maintenance Order"At the time of creating a P.R through it.But If your contract "Account assignment" and P.R "Account assignment" Creating through maintenance order will be different.So system will populate an error message as" Account assignment in agreement and Requisition incompatible"

  • PO not created automatically after creation and approval of SC

    Hi all,
    We are using SRM7.0 Extended Classic Scenario.
    We are able to create Shopping Cart successfully.
    For items where a source of supply is not supplied, the Shopping Cart goes through the approval process and then into the sourcing Cockpit.
    But for the other Shopping Carts, PO is not getting created automatically after the approval of SC.
    Any ideas/suggestions on this issue would be highly helpful.
    Thanks,
    Priya

    Priya,
    Can you check this configuration in Sourcing  for particular PCat?
    *Automatic requirement grouping; sourcing for items without assigned*
    source of supply:
    Then run the report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED which will  automatically group requirements together for
    the creation of a PO.
    And,  If the requirement does not have a source of supply, it appears in the work list of the sourcing application for manual assignment. Once you have assigned a source of supply, you can submit the requirement to the report.
    Let us know if it works, and should help you this one.
    Thanks,

  • Automatic PO creation of free text PR

    Hi!
    We have all our PRs in free text since we are not yet using material master. One of our purchase organization will only order from one vendor and they will enter that vendor and price in the PR. Is it possible to create a PO automatically from that PR without a material or source list?
    Sincerely
    Anders

    Hi
    Thank you very much. Is it possible to restrict the automatic creation to a certain purchase organization?
    If I understand you right:
    1) Create PR with item category D Service
    2) Activate automatic PO creation in ML91
    That will create POs for all PRs created as a service?
    Sincerely
