Answer 1

Hi,
Prerequisites in Customizing
-Automatic PO Generation must be activated for the movement type.
(In Customizing for Materials Management, choose Inventory Management and Physical Inventory u2192 Goods Receipt u2192 Create Purchase Order Automatically.)
Hint: The automatic generation of POs is only possible for movement types for which goods receipts can be entered with
reference to purchase orders (101 and 161).
-The plant for which the goods receipt is entered must be assigned to a standard purchasing organization.
(In Customizing for the Enterprise Structure, choose Assignment u2192Materials Management u2192 Assign standard purchasing organization to plant.)
-A default document type for the purchase order must be specified for the goods receipt.
-A document type must be maintained for transaction MB01 in Customizing for Materials Management under Purchasing u2192 Define Default Values for Document Type.
Prerequisites in the Application
The material delivered must be managed as a valuated material.
A purchasing info record must exist for the vendor, the material, and the standard purchasing organization of the plant receiving the deliveries. The conditions of the purchasing info record must be valid or a link to the last purchasing document must exist in the purchasing info record.
The automatic generation of purchase orders is only possible for receipts in the warehouse, not for consumption. Similarly, you cannot book any movements into GR blocked stock with this function.
The system determines the data necessary for the automatic generation of a purchase order as follows:
•Vendor, material, quantity, plant, and storage location = manual entry by entry clerk at time of goods receipt
•Purchasing organization = standard purchasing organization of plant
•Purchasing group = purchasing group from the material master record
•Delivery date = posting date of goods receipt
•Price = price from purchasing info record
Hope this helps!!
