Message: This customer requires a Purchase Order Number

Hi all
I need some help with above pop-up message.
The pop up appears in trcode VA02 (have no access to VA01 so cannot test it) but where in SPRO is it set up so as to link customer number to message?
Once I type the order number and press enter/return then the message appears.
I do not have access to SPRO or ABAP at this client site so I cannot check program code either.
Thanks
RM

Hi,
Check the message number and id. You will probably find this by clicking on the button with a question mark icon after the pop-up message is displayed.
Once you discover the message number and id, goto se93 give the message id and number in the respective input fields and press the display button.
Select the message and do a where used list on it. You will know in which programs this message is used and what is the condition to trigger this message.

Inspection Type 05 require input purchase order number for rejection

Hi Experts,
I have inspection and needed to reject in QA12.
When inputting the stock posting quantity to return, it prompts the reason for rejection, and required to input purchase order number also.
Since that is material return from production(inspection type 05) with no purchase order number, where in SPRO I can check the setting of this and disable this?
Please kindly advise, thanks!
Regards,
Daniel

When inputting the qualtity field RETURN DELIVERY, system forced me to input Purchase Order number which is not available.

VMI scenario: purchase order number created by supplier

Hi,
in a VMI scenario is there a way to let the supplier create the purchase order number which is then sent in the ORDRSP IDoc to the customer? And in the customer system the purchase order number from the ORDRSP is used when the purchase order is created from the ORDRSP IDoc.
Is this possible? What needs to be done for it? Any ideas?
Regards,
Robert

Hi Anand,
I'm sorry but I didn't understand it.
The vendor creates a sales order in his system and sends the order rensponse (IDoc ORDRSP) to the customer system. There a purchase order will be created out of the ORDRSP. That's the standard process. But as far as I know in the purchase order there will be no external purchase order number used from the vendor system but a purchase order number from the customer system instead. This purchase order number from the customer system could be sent to the vendor system in an ORDCHG IDoc if needed. I want to know whether or not it's possible to send an external purchase order number from the vendor system to the customer system and create a purchase order with this external purchase order number.

   You may define external number range as shown below, for example:
   Assign the same as external number range for the PO Doc type:
   While creating the PO, maintain the number range externally with the required prefix + old PO number.
Test the same and revert back.

Procedure:
Choose Logistics ® Sales/distribution ® Master data ® Business partners ® Sold-to party ® Change ® Change.
Enter the customer and select the Control data view in the General data area of the screen and choose Enter.
The system now displays the Customer Change: Control Data screen. In the Reference data/area section, select the Purchase order req. checkbox. Save the customer master.
Result:
You will have to enter the purchase order number on the Order Entry screen for this customer in all future orders.

Hi
TRy transaction VOV8
select sales document type and go to general control and select Enter PO number check box.
Otherwise you can create your own incompletion procedure in OVA2 and maintain whatever field you want mandatory and asign this procedure to sales document type with transaction VUA2 and mark IC dialog.

Customer purchase order number at schedule line level in scheduling agreeme

Hi,
We have one typical requirement from scheduling agreement functionality. The scenario is we receive the schedule lines from Idocs from customer with purchase order number for each schedule line. We need to print that PO number on packing slip and ASN. How do we capture the schedule line po number in SAP SA?
Please share your ideas on this.
Regards, Lakshmikanth

Hi Chandrasekhar,
Thanks for your reply, here we create one delivery for each schedule line quantity, we need to copy the respective purchase order number into delivery. There is no Corelation between schedule line number and additional data field, so we can not use very freely. Do we have any other option?

Purchase order number of the customer equals to the batch number

At our case, purchase order number of the customer equals to the batch number. Purchase order number will be written on the sales document (VBKD - BSTKD).
1. How can the production department can see what is written in this field (on md04 or etc...)? The batches will be created by the PP module so they have to see what is written on this field to give the right number to the batch externally (when creating the batch manually).
2. If batches are automatically created, how can we make the batch number to be equal to the purchase order number which is written on the sales document (VBKD - BSTKD)?
I'll be happy for the answers and I'll also be happy if you can give me the names of the user exits for the above questions. Thanks in advance for the answers....

Hi Yasar?
Did you evaluate working with valuated sales order stock?
This way your PP people could use Make to Order style manufacturing and produce for a special "batch" => The sales order special stock.
Can be used in Repetitive Manufacturing and has no impact in costing, therefore a nice option for the situation you are describing.
In MD04 a special segment will appear for the the Sales Order stock and this stock will only be able to be shipped for this special order.
Best Regards,
Franck

Customer purchase order number in Billing document

Hi Experts
Billing documen --> Item double click --> Last Tab is PO Data
Table (VBKD) --Field (BSTKD) -- Customer purchase order number
How do I get populated my PO here in this field. I am not using the sales order. Only P.O --> D.O --> Billing.(inter Co. STO)
Any help can be appreciated
regards
RG.

Hi,
You have the PO number in the delivery (in items, LIPS-VGBEL) or in VBFA table.So, you can achieve it in the copy rules from delivery to invoice (in a VOFM in VTFL). Check so the splitting of invoice (structure ZUK or field ZUKRI), so, see SAP Note 11162 - Invoice split criteria in billing document.
I hope it helps you

The requirement is to populate customer purchase order number in customer statement (F.27) which is sent to the customer at month end.
Is there a some other better way to do, please advice.
Thanks in advance
Best Regards

Based on my experience std feature from SD-FI . Depending on the SD Billing config which can be by delivery(VTFL) or sales order(VTFA). You can assign options of A: Cust PO No. B Sales order no. C Delivery no. D External delivery no. E Actual invoice number to available header fields of Assignment No. or Reference No. Try it out

Regarding purchase order number

Hi
Just basic question in Sales document.
While creating Sales order, we are giving purchase order number in header.
why its required.
Can somebody explain me...
Regards
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
It is customer's reference number. Using this reference customer order can be tracked. For example if customer has any query regarding the order he placed, he can just refer the PO number and based on which customer service track the order of customer.
If you look an EDI order, Order is created in some legacy system and Data flows to SAP and an SAP order is created through an inbound IDOC. Then wat is the way to track the legacy system's order? It is through the purchase order number,based on which customer service can track the order information. This is just an example for your understanding of the field of order.
Hope this explains.

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.

"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.

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.
