?? default purchase order number generation

Hello everyone.
When a purchase order is automatically generated from a sales order, is it possible to make the new PO number the same as the SO number we've just set?
ie we need to manually overwrite the newly generated PO just like we did with the initial SO.
Any help on this would be rewarded with a front row seat in heaven =)

Groovy,
Couple of questions,
Are you creating the SO for a Drop Ship Warehouse which would automatically prompt to create PO.
OR
Are you on the SO manually checking Purchase Orders in the logistics tab and creating the PO.
Each of this scenario can be handled a bit differently.
Couple of things can be done. (1) You may create a User field (Sales Order No.) at the PO header level if the PO has a one to one relation with a SO and if the PO if for multiple SO then create a User field (Sales Order No.) at the row level. and enter the sales Order numbers in this user field.
(2) You can maintain a seperate numbering series for these kinds of SO and PO where you can maintain a Sync.
(3) When you copy a Sales Order to a Purchase Order, Create the PO as a draft and then open draft PO and select a manual numbering and enter the SO number.
NOTE: In his scenario the numbering Series of the SO should be much lower than PO and sometime this could cause ovenruns of number.
I have just given you the 3 possible scenarios. My best bet would be to try the (1) or the (2) one.
Let me know if you have any questions

Hi Anand,
When Your Goods Receipt P O Form is Active Click on form Settings in Menubar( 5ty Icon Form Right) Then one window will be opened then click on table format folder and then check the check box against base ref and base key under Visible column
If you are not adding any comments on GRPO then by default it will show as based ob purchase order XXX.

1. Where can i see this PO number ( I approved above requisition, but i can not see this PO number in PO screen)...?
2. What does this purchase order number do?
Thanks
Deepak

Hi Depak,
Please check this doc...
PO Create Documents
Workflow File Name: poxwfatc.wft
This workflow manages the automatic creation of purchasing documents. The PO Create Documents workflow starts in Oracle iProcurement when you submit a
requisition associated with an existing blanket purchase agreement, contract purchase agreement, or catalog quotation in Oracle Purchasing. Customize the attributes in this workflow to fit your business needs.
The following table shows the attributes that you must consider:
1) Is Automatic Creation Allowed?
Please change to Y
AUTOCREATE_DOC Indicator (Y for Yes or N for No) of whether this workflow is initiated for all approved requisition lines.
Default value: N
2) Is Automatic Approval Allowed?
AUTO_APPROVE_DOC Indicator of whether the purchase order approval workflow is initiated automatically after this workflow.
Default value: N
Please change to Y
3) Should Workflow Create The Release?
CONT_WF_FOR_AC_REL_GEN Indicator of whether this workflow creates, releases, or leaves them to the buyer to create using AutoCreate in Oracle Purchasing.
Default value: N
Please change to Y
You can verify the changes through below query..
select rtrim(w.name) name,
w.text_default Value,
rtrim(w.item_type) item_type
from wf_item_attributes w
where w.NAME in ('AUTO_APPROVE_DOC', 'CONT_WF_FOR_AC_REL_GEN', 'AUTOCREATE_DOC')
Hope this will help.

Another quick question to you, you mentioned UNSPENT code in your queries.. I think it should be UNSPSC code...correct me if I am wrong here..

Hi Vamsi,
Thats what!!!
Goto SE16 - EBAN - Give PR number in the iput screen.
In the output screen you will have to do field selection from Menu - Settings - formatlist - choose fields.
There you choose Purchase Order.
So the output will display for you POs for the PR that you entered.

Hello,
Could you please add field BSEG-EBELN as a special field in FBL3N (from
menu path Settings -> Special fields).
Then, select the Purchase order field again from "Change Layout"
(Ctrl+F8). Now this field is available for display variants, it has the
technical name 1-U_EBELN and the description 'Purchase Document'.
The other field has the same description but as technical name
'1-EBELN'. When you create a display variant be aware that you select
1-U_EBELN and not 1-EBELN.
*******Please also refer to attached notes 215798 and 984305.

Update Purchase order number in Sales order item level from inbound ORDCHG iDoc

Hi Gurus,
I want to update purchase order number from the iDoc 'ORDCHG' to sales order item level (sold to party purchase order number) i.e, VBAK-BSTKD.
Which exit I need to use? where to update? Can you please help.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
San

Finally Resolved the problem by writing 2 exits.
one exit 'EXIT_SAPLVEDB_007' for identify correct item in the sales order by updating the customer purchase order item number i.e., VBAP-POSEX. if we update the POSEX field then it wont create new item instead, it will update the item which it is referring to .
2nd exit for updating the purchase order number.
I have tried to pass the program name, screen number, field name, field value etc to bdcdata in the exit 'EXIT_SAPLVEDB_002'. but I observed that it is not going to that screen in the debugging.
when I try E1EDP02 with QUALF '044' it will update ship-to party's purchase order number. so to update ship-to party's purchase order number it is going to that screen.
so I have used that thing to update purchase order number in sold-to party's purchase order number.
so when it is going that screen iam changing the field name 'VBKD-BSTKD_E' to 'VBKD-BSTKD' in bdcdata. Then it is worked.
This is the solution I found in my time.
Any way it is solved. Hope it will be helpful for others who will get this problem.

Goods Receipt Screen: Purchase Order number stored

Hi all.
SRM 4.0, server 5.5.
When going into the Goods Receipt screen (BBPCF02 for example), the field Purchase Order Number is pre-filled with the latest PO, that a user has searched for. How could I make sure, that this screen is not filled out with the latest PO but just let the screen display the open POs from within the timeframe? I have too many users that have made a GR, return to the GR screen and then their previous PO number is stored, and they believe they still have not made the GR for that PO, so they do it again. I need to make sure, that the purchase order number value is never stored in this field - any ideas?

OMBT click on the groups button, select the
Material documents for goods movements and inventory diffs.

And then select the maintain icon, you need to maintain the number range
for the year 2010.

hope this helps

"In FBL5N unable to view purchase order number and the sales order number"

Hi,
Below mentioned is the problem we are facing,
In the Customer Line Item Display (FBL5N) it is vital for us to be able to view the customer's purchase order number as well as the sales order number for each billing document listed by customer.
We need to be able to extract this information for each customer and import to an excel spread sheet for analysis, specifically for our larger customers that have over 500 plus lines.
Kindly advise how to go about the same.
Regards
Harish

Dear,
Please also check note 152335. There, you will find a more detailed
explanation of the issue.
The only way to see some information regarding related PO-es in a Vendor
line items is a workaround. For example, it is possible to create
a substitution in order to fill in one of not currently used fields
like Reference, Text, etc.
I hope this helps You.

Now what we would like to know is that do how can we populate the purchase order number displayed in billing document in the invoice document.

Hello
In FNL5N, try to create a variant for report display options.
You could select the fields to form part of the report for output options.
Save the variant , execute, check.
If the PO number itself is not available in the list, then you need to worry, as it could lead to some USER exit, or some other enhancement. But, I think it is available.
Check the Sort key too. There could be a PO listing option.

Purchase order number not update in purchase requisition status tab

Purchase order is created for purchase requisition. The purchase requisition is triggered through process order. When I checked purchase requisition details in ME53N status tab, status is not edited and purchase order number also not present.
Kindly let me know the possible reason for this.
Appreciate your help..
Thanks,
SAP PQ

If the PO had been created without reference to the PR, it will not be updated in the PR.
If it has been created with reference to the PR, then the PR number gets updated in the PR status.

Problem in Shipment purchase order number

Hello Experts,
At time of shipment count number(VI02), purchase order and service entry is created automatically. But whenever created new shipment count same purchase order number is updated ie sequentially not taking, but service entry has not problem.
Pls tell why this problem is occured.

Hi,
It depends on customizing settings for the PO for shipment costing. You can set a period for validity of the PO. In standard it is set to a month (I believe). It will split up per forwarding agent.
Quote of help.sap:
The purchase order can be valid for the following periods:
Day
Week
Month
In Customizing the purchasing organization, the purchasing group and the plant must be assigned to the corresponding transportation planning point and the shipment cost type. You make these settings in the IMG. Choose Logistics Execution ® Transportation ® Shipment costs ® Settlement ® Assign purchasing data.
End quote.

Purchase order number ranges plant wise

Hi ,
Requirement is , want to have purchase order number plant wise. I know that we can have different number ranges for different document types in standard SAP. But how to achieve different number ranges for purchase order plant wise.?
Is there any user exits available for this?
regards,
abi

Hi,
it is possible through a BADI to get the separate number ranges for plant wise PR/PO,
but u need to maintain a customised table with number ranges and plants,
whenever the user try to save a PO/PR the syatem will pick the number range from the customised table,
that BADI is ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST,
it is very useful if any client has number of plants like 30 or 40 plants,
and it is easy track the PO from where it has raised.
