ORDERS.ORDERS05 creation per PO

Question

Hi guys,
There is certain coding which creates purchase order via "BAPI_PO_CREATE1", however I am still interested in getting ORDERS.ORDERS05 IDOC created out of the freshly created order. I know there is a "ALE_PO_CREATE1", but it use to trigger PORDCR.PORDCRx IDOCs which does not suit our needs. Any hints ?
Thanks in advance,
Lalo

The functionality you require is not included in the
standard system. It is not possible through customizing to change the
field selection of BEDAT (Document date) for a PO. This field is
optional entry in tr. ME21N and display only in ME22N and ME23N.
There is no configuration for Field MEPO_TOPLINE-BEDAT in OMF4, which
is the transaction where Field Selection possibilities are set in 46
releases. ME21N gives the possibility to create a PO dated in the past
or in the future. Future dates are allowed to facilitate Hold and Park
functionality.
Message 06 028 is raised to advise "Purchase order date is in the past"
this message can be set to an Error message.
Go to OLME trxn code and Select Environment Data- Define attributes for system messages and set the message 06 028 Purchase order date is in the past
and also Try this
1. Goto SHD0 transaction, create a screen variant for t-code ME21N with PO date as "Output Only" option
2. Assign this screen variant to a new transaction variant for the t-code ME21N.
3. Specify the same transaction variant name in the standard variant
4. Activate the standard variant
Next time, when ME21N is executed, the PO date field will be of display mode and user cannot change date.
