Info records field in Purchase Order

How can we make info-record field mandatory for selected purchasing organization when creating Purchase Order using ME21N.

I can think of 3 options:
1) Use field settings if you want it mandatory for all purchasing organizations.
2) Another way would be to create 2 document types - one with info record mandatory and other with info record optional. People purchasing for the purchasing organizations where info record is required will be authorized only for the first document type (where info record is mandatory)
3) Use user exit EXIT_SAPLEBND_002 (the one for PO Release). This can be activated even if PO release is not active.

Changing fields read from info record in a Purchase Order

Hello,
At some point, when a PO is entered via ME21n (on each item entered), an info record is selected and its contents are read (if the info record exists).
Is there any BADI that can help me manipulate these contents (check them and change them)? If not, is there any enhancement technology that you would recommend in order to achieve this?
Thanks in advance,
Joao

Why do you have to do that?
If the reqmnt is there than why don;t you chane the Info records itself.

Info records pulling into purchase orders

I have created an info record for a material group only (i.e. without material master as it is for a non-stock item). It is my understanding that this creates a vendor-material group relationship. When creating a purchase order for this unique combination of vendor & material group, the info record information only pulls in if I physically type the info record number within ME21 (or choose it from the drop down list). I would have thought that given that there is only 1 info record for each vendor-material group relationship, that the info record info should pull in automatically. Is there any way of doing this?
My ultimate aim is to automatically pull in a tax code when each purchase order is created.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

you say ME21, is this a typo or do you really work with this old transaction?
Is your PO just for a text material, or do you purchase a material that has a material number?
If material with material number, then the info record for a material group will not come in, even the material group entered in the material is the same.
usually my process starts with a requisition, and next step is assign vendor e.g. with ME57, this assignment brings the info record into the game.

Creating new DMS info record directly from purchase order transactions

Hello Everybody,
does anyone knows of a way to make it possible for users to Create New DMS info record directly from the purchase order transactions ?
e.g:
in ME22N there is a button of "Documents" for an item level in the order, but that button only allows to link an existing info record.

ERS field in Purchase Order Line detail (Invoice Tab)

Hi ... I was trying to figure out the priorities for ERS field in Purchase order ...
What i could simulate is ...
Case 1
In case Vendor master has ERS = YES but in info record ( for vendor and material) NO ERS is defined.
Then ERS field will get appeared in PO LINE detail with value NO (not set)
Case 2
In case Vendor master has ERS = No but in info record (for vendor and material) ERS is set.( NO ERS = not set)
Then ERS field will not get appeared in PO LINE detail
Case 3
In case Vendor master has ERS = YES and in info record (for vendor and material) ERS is set.( NO ERS = not set)
Then ERS field will get appeared in PO LINE detail with ERS = YES
Here I am doubtful about case 2 .... I believe info record should always have priority over vendor , but system is not behaving as per expectation.
Could u pls tell me the exact conditions when ERS field will not appeared and if appeared from where it will pick the default values in PO LINE details
Regards
SANDEEP

the info record has precedence.
The bad thing is, that this field is , contrary to other field that appear in vendor and info record, has a negative meaning.
ERS field name in vendor is auto eval GR settlement,
while in info record it is : No ERS.
lets do an example:
V=vendor
I = Info record
P = purchase order
X = box selected
N = box not selected
so we can have this 4 cases:
VIP
XNX
XXN
NXN
NNN
The 3rd case NXN does not really make any sense.

INFO UPDATE in the purchase order ( ME21N)

Why the field INFO UPDATE in the purchase order ( ME21N) is not flaged when I create a purchase order?
I create a PO, and I flag it in ME21N, but it cancel it? WHY
I have already tried it in spro Default values for purchasing, and all seem good!!
Anybody could tell how can I tick this field?
Thanks a lot
Kari

Hi
Info update indictor can be set by defualt if you maintain the same in the Purchase inforecord,
If no inforecord exists then this would not be flagged and if you flag it then the Purchase inforecord gets created with the update of with or wothout plant based on the default value assigned to the buyers.
Thanks & Regards

Prevent unauthorised changing of 'Ship to' field of Purchase order

Hi experts
I am trying to prevent users from changing 'Ship to' field of Purchase Order without authorisation. OPOR.Address2
I am thinking to do this I should use a Stored Procedure which cause error if a condition is not met?
First I am trying to prevent any change of this field:
SP attempt:
--No changing of ship to address on PO
IF @object_type = '22' AND @transaction_type IN ('U','A')
BEGIN
IF EXISTS (SELECT T0.Address2 FROM dbo.OPOR T0 WHERE T0.Address2 <> (SELECT T1.CompnyAddr FROM dbo.OADM T1) AND T0.Address2 = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
SELECT @error = 1, @error_message = N'Direct shipment requires authorisation'
END
The above does not work - please can someone assist?
If there is better way to achieve my required outcome please advise me.
Thanks
Karen

Hi,
Try this:
IF @object_type = '22' AND @transaction_type IN ('U','A')
BEGIN
IF EXISTS (SELECT T0.[Docentry] FROM OPOR T0 WHERE T0.[Address2] <> ( select T0.[CompnyAddr] from OADM T0) AND T0.docentry = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
SELECT @error = 1, @error_message = N'Direct shipment requires authorisation'
END

Force buyers to create Purchase Order with ref. to a Pur. Req., Quotation or Pur. Ord.
Transaction OMET
Create a new entry, give it a name and tick :-
Ref. to PReq
Ref. to P.O.
Ref. to quotation
Next, you've got to associate via SU01
Click Parameters, insert a new parameter id EFB to the authorization code.
Type in Parameters value you want e.g. XX
You have to assign the control for ALL the SAP buyers via thier SAP users id.
Logoff and login again. Then try to create a Purchase Order without a reference.
