Hi,
We can do IV for a GR with out PO.
Here is the process flow:
<b>Automatic Generation of PO at the time of goods receipt:</b>
If we receive a delivery for which there is no PO in the system, we can enter it as an other goods receipt, which is a goods receipt without reference to a PO. The invoice for this delivery cannot be entered and checked with reference to the PO.
Alternatively, the SAP system provides the option of having a PO generated automatically by the system at the time of goods receipt. For this to occur, the following prerequisites must be filled:
<b>In Customizing:</b>
Automatic PO generation must be activated for the movement type.
The plant for which the goods receipt is entered must be assigned to a standard purchasing organization
A default document type for the PO must be specified for the goods receipt.
<b>In the Application:</b>
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 link to the last purchasing document must exist in the purchasing info record).
The automatic generation of POs is only possible for receipts in the warehouse, not for consumption.
The system determines the data necessary for the automatic generation of a PO as follows:
Vendor, material, quantity, plant and storage location - manual entry by entry clerk at the time of GR
Purchase organization - Standard purchase organization of plant
Purchasing group - Purchasing group from material master
Delivery date - Posting date of GR
Price - Price from purchase info record.
Upon posting the GR, the system generates a material document, an accounting document, and a PO. Then we can enter an invoice against this PO during invoice verification process.
Hope this will clear her doubt.
