Automatically create POs from all approved requisitions

I want to be able to automatically create purchase orders from all approved iProc requisitions (but wont have contract or blanket POs to use)
I can get the suggested buyer added into the iProc shopping cart but want to know best route. Most people seem to have to hack the work flows so that the POs get created.
I thought about using standard interface table to create the POs but believe that link to the requisitions wont be made (problem with reporting and encumberances)
Would be interested in recommendations as to the best way to do this
Thanks

Do you buy the same items from those 9000 suppliers over and over?
Do you want to automatically create PO or you want it to be submitted for approval as well?
You may want to consider setting up the automatic sourcing. This way, the ASL and sourcing rules are automatically created when you create the first blanket.

  • Automatic PO creation from Imported Approved Requisition

    Hi,
    Is there any setup to allow automatic PO creation from Imported Approved Requisition.
    1. Run Requisition Import to import approved Requisition with no workflow fired.
    2. Can we kick off automatic PO creation workflow without kicking off Requisition approval workflow?
    Any suggestion will be helpful.

  • Automatically create playlists from all albums

    Is there a way to do this so that I can use list view and play one album at a time? I've looked on the list and searched on the web.
    I know you can make album play lists easily, but only one at a time, by hand. I mean to simply get all them in one move.
    I know that the grid view gives you the equivalent, but the grid view consumes so much memory that it turns the computer into an expensive CD player. The cost of looking at all those little pictures runs to about 200 megs of memory for me, and that creates a difficulty for me. (Strange as it seems, I work on this machine, too.)
    In list view, iTunes does a great job, keeping memory use within 50 megs -- no problems there.
    When I moved my music from one file server to another, I lost my playlists. I had the xml file that other programs can use, but not apparently not iTunes to re-create playlists. Now I face the trouble of rebuilding them hand. It would be trivial to rewrite that xml file to change all the file paths, but I did not see a way importing the entire collection of playlists.
    It would seem to me that internally the iTunes database maintains an album by album list of songs (to show you in the grid view). One more step would loop through these and create playlists that show up in list view, eh?
    My favorite music player is Linux-only -- Rhythmbox -- which just gives automatically artist and album playlists, and keeps within 60 megs of memory. I tried the new Mozilla offering, Songbird, which is only in beta and has its own rough spots, but it, too, automatically gives you artist and album playlists. I don't know about the Windows players.

    Why don't you use the Browser, you can filter your list view right down to a single album using it. Go to View>Show Browser to make it visible. Alternatively press the Command (⌘) and B keys together.

  • Creating user defined pay items in a complex PO which will be created from an Approved requisition

    Hi,
    We want to create user defined pay items in a complex PO which will be created from an Approved Requisition.
    User will select the approved Req. through WebADI and update the pay Items which will be uploaded and a complex PO will be created with user defined Pay Items.
    Approach 1:
    The API po_interface_s.create_documents is running good but there is one issue with this API as below.
    When we add user defined pay items to the po_lines_locations interface table against a line they are also getting added to the complex PO correctly.
    But the issue is coming when the API is creating default shipment lines and distribution which we dont want.
    Is there any way to stop creating the default pay items and distributions?
    We only want the shipments we have entered in the po_lines_locations interface.
    We can delete the lines from the PO_line_locations and po_distributions base tables for the default lines but that will be the last option to do delete on base tables.
    Approach 2:
    We can also do the same with the open PO import interface but it is not linking the complex PO to the approved requisition from which it is created.
    Oracle mentioned that this is a future enhancement and this functionality is not available in standard PO import prog.
    We are trying for Approach 1 so any suggestions/solutions are appreciated to achieve the requirement.

    Sanket

    UDT cannot be created in sbo-common. You may create new db and work with table in this db (but it will be not UDT, but standard sql table), or create new company db only for this purposes and create UDT there.

  • Users are not able to create POs from PRs having Production Order (F)

    Hi Gurus
    Users are not able to create POs from PRs having Production Order (F) as creation indicator.
    Whenever we are trying to convert the PR to PO we are getting the error message "Requisition has different doc. type NB and item cat. >&<" based on the below OSS# 938154 condition for the creation indicator type F.
    Would you please investigate and advise what OSS notes are required to be able to use item category L (subcontracting) on a PO for a requisition generated from a network activity via Procurement Type = "Preliminary requisition for WBS element".
    Thanks,
    Sada.

    Hi Ajay & Andra
    Whenever we are trying to convert the PR to PO we are getting the error message "Requisition has different doc. type NB and item cat. >&<" based on the below OSS# 938154 condition for the creation indicator type  Production order (F).
    Our Business requirement as shown below.
    1).The problem - we currently have no way to "direct requisition" an item to be procured via      subcontracting - only itu2019s possible via MRP.
    2).These behaviors are inconsistent as the requisition process should not impact the procurement process.  Can we find a way to influence the creation indicator on the requisition so that it does not appear as a production order?
    Please suggest any alternate method for achieving this.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Rounding when creating POs from pruchase requisition

    Hi gurus,
    when I copy items from a purchase requisition to a PO, I would like the system to round the purchase requisition quantity UP to full packaging units.
    E.g. in material master there are three quantity units: piece, package (=10 pieces) and box (=100 pieces). Procurement quantity unit is box, i.e. I can only order full boxes of the material.
    Now, when I have a purchase requisition item for 120 pieces and I copy this item to a PO, the system automatically rounds off to 1 box. But I would like to always have it round UP to 2 boxes.
    Can this be achieved?
    Thanks in advance
    Alicia

    Hi Alicia,
    With help of PP you will have to make roud of profile  in T code - OWD1.
    Assign it in Material master MRP1 view.
    This will give desired effect.
    Also maintain purchase order unit in material master as boxes.
    Thanks and regards.

  • Automatically create WBS from Contract Position

    I need to automatically create a WBS Element when a Contract Position is created and write the WBS number back in the Contract Position. Has anyone done this and if so how. Is this best done by an Position Output to an iDoc so there is a monitoring system for failures in place? Thanks for any ideas.

  • Free items in automatically created POs

    Hello gurus,
    we would like to create POs automatically using MRP. The problem is that some of the materials are always free goods.
    So if I created the PO manually, i would tick the free item checkbox. Can this be done automatically?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    yes , it is possible to get the free goods indicator automatically,
    ask your ABAPer to develop a program to get the indicator automatically wrt to the document type,

  • Hide automatic created folder from role upload

    Hi,
    when I make a role upload to the portal, a top folder with the same name as the role is automatically created. Is it possible to disable this feature or hide the folder afterwards?
    I have created my own folder structure in the portal, which defines the first two levels of navigation, and then made a delta link from this structure to the uploaded role. The content of the uploaded role is automatically put in a folder on third level instead of directly under the second level folder. This way the user has to click first on the role and then on the folder to get to the content. This is not very user friendly.
    Hope someone can help.
    Regards Morten

    Have you tried changing the 'Entry Point'  property within the uploaded roles ?
    When you do a role upload, you have the chance to automatically create the roles as worksets (rather than portal roles).  Have you tried doing this?  I think you get fewer levels (from memory)
    Also,  is your composite (backend) role design already in place and finished?  It is worth trying to consider the portal when doing the backend composite role design in order to prevent issues like this.
    Award points if this helps

  • PO CNV: Auto-Create POs from PUR Reqs generated by OM

    Objective: Convert open sales orders and maintain the link to the purchase order for back to back and drop shipment sales orders? 
    Question: Is it possible to convert the sales orders first.  Then run requisition import to create the purchase requisitions in the PO module.  After the requisition lines are created, convert the purchase orders through the open interface table or an API by auto-creating the PO from the requisition lines?  This would maintain the link between purchasing and order management.
    If this is not possible, does anyone have any suggestions?  Someone mentioned using BPAs (this assumes I can assign items to specific suppliers).
    Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    After creating a PR, why you want to go thru open interface.
    There is a standard functionality : AUTOCREATE, available , which will convert the PR to PO.
    On PO Shipment level, you can view the SO number & Line Number also.

  • Create String from all Collection Items

    Hi all, I've been using Project Siena for the last week and I'm having a lot of fun with it.
    Right now, I'm having a problem creating a string comprised of all the rows of a particular collection.
    I am trying to generate the string for an email body. So far I have a 1 column collection called EmailCollection. It consists of rows of text with the appropriate URL Encoded characters. I would like to be able to export all the rows of this
    collection to a string, and then add this string into the Launch(mailto:) body variable.
    Let me know if I'm not being clear with this, and thanks for any help in advance!
    Elliot

    Thanks for the reply, StonyArc. I actually used your original thread to get me started until I ran into problems with exporting the entire single column collection to a concatenated string. I found a way to get it working, though it's not an elegant solution
    and it wont work if the number of rows in the collection changes.
    I'll try to explain it here, and if anyone else can think of a better way, I'd like to try it :)
    I needed to create an URL encoded string for my emails which consisted of the relevant pricing information from a Collection with 8 rows called NewPricingCollection. 
    Collect(EmailPricing, Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Concatenate(NewPricingCollection!SetupItem,": ", NewPricingCollection!NewAmount, " ", NewPricingCollection!UnitType, "s ($", NewPricingCollection!TotalPrice, ")"), " ", "%20"), "$", "%24"), ":", "%3A"));
    This created a single column collection with 8 rows which looked like this: SetupItem: 5 Units ($TotalPrice). I used the substitute function to replace the non-URL friendly characters with their encoded equivalents. I'm not sure if this is the best
    practice use of the Substitute function by the way.
    Once I had the Single Column Collection, I couldn't find a way to concatenate the contents of each row into a single string. I was able to use the Lookup function to retrieve the first row of the collection, but that was it. Note that I may be using the
    lookup function incorrectly too :)
    I ended up using Last and LastN Functions to retrieve the specified number of rows from the end of the collection. Then I used the Lookup function to retrieve the string from the first row of each retrieved collection, then concatenated it together as a
    single string - along with the rest of the email body.
    LookUp(EmailPricing, Result in EmailPricing, Result) & "%0A" & LookUp(LastN(EmailPricing,7), Result in EmailPricing, Result) & "%0A" & LookUp(LastN(EmailPricing,6), Result in EmailPricing, Result) & "%0A" & LookUp(LastN(EmailPricing,5), Result in EmailPricing, Result) & "%0A" & LookUp(LastN(EmailPricing,4), Result in EmailPricing, Result) & "%0A" & LookUp(LastN(EmailPricing,3), Result in EmailPricing, Result) & "%0A" & LookUp(LastN(EmailPricing,2), Result in EmailPricing, Result) & "%0A" & LookUp(LastN(EmailPricing,1), Result in EmailPricing, Result)
    This created a string that looked like this inside of an email body:
    SetupItem1: 5 Units ($TotalPrice)
    SetupItem2: 5 Units ($TotalPrice)
    SetupItem3: 5 Units ($TotalPrice)
    SetupItem4: 5 Units ($TotalPrice)
    SetupItem5: 5 Units ($TotalPrice)
    SetupItem6: 5 Units ($TotalPrice)
    SetupItem7: 5 Units ($TotalPrice)
    SetupItem8: 5 Units ($TotalPrice)
    As you can see it will only work correctly with a collection of 8 rows, so if the number of items changes, then I'll need to find a better solution. 

  • Automatically create ToDos from Events

    Hello,
    I would like to have a todo item automatically added for an event that is entered in iCal. Does anyone know how to do this?
    Thanks!

    Greetings,
    (Dear Apple,)
    This is a User Discussion Forum as indicated in the Terms of Service (http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa) which means when you post here you are posting to other users, not to Apple. If you wish to submit feedback to Apple go to this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ical.html
    Or have I missed something here?
    Nope you are correct.
    To Do items are 1 type of entry in iCal. Events are another kind of entry.
    To Do items are not visually associated with a specific day entry in the calendar (grid) so that even if you go forwards or backwards in your calendar, you can still keep your list of To Do items at hand.
    Events on the other hand are locked to a specific date(s) and change based on your location in the calendar (month/week/day view).
    Cheers.

    Thank you so much for your reply.
    So you mean to say that it all depends upon the Sourcing Rule and ASL based upon that system would automatically create a Blanket Release or If its Automatic Release/Review then we have to manually create release through autocreate.
    The reason why i am asking this query is now when i tested it, system is automatically creating release and starngely there is no Sourcing Rule and ASL has been defined.
    But we are looking for a Manual Release through autocreate window.
    It would be great if you could please suggest.

    When you say system is automatically creating release..as far as i know...it should be referencing a PO..correct...in the releases window..
    can you pull that up..and see if you can get any clue..bcz that PO would BPA...
