Purchase Order sending through EDI

Dear Experts,
I got a requirement recently for sending PO from SAP to vendor system (non SAP) through EDI interface.
Clients all purchasing and inventory is handling an out side vendor.
Anybody can help me with how SAP can link other system throuh EDI and make data transfers.
Thanks for your help
John K.

Hi,
As you are saying that the vendor is interested in reciving the PO through EDI, then you need to check all the below mentioned aspets when you are going to construct an interface:-
1. Which EDI message format (TRADACOM, ANSI or EDIFACT)
2. how are they going to receive it?
3. What fields needs to be mapped into the EDI message
4. Which version are they expecting.
5. What type of message are they expecting (like PO, GR or IR)
First check out on all the above questions, setting up an interface from SAP is easy the only thing which you need to do is going to on the EDI front.
I have used TLE, Harbinger, Gentran, XI and Pathfinder EDI sub systems to transmit the purchase and sales related information.
Thanks,
Mahesh.

Dear,
For SCOT settings check with BASIS team..
OR
Use SCOT, double-click the INT node.
Use the 'Set' button in the supported address types section.
In the 'address area' enter the pattern you want, like email@removed as per
your example. "*" is a wildcard.
Any email sent which does not match the pattern will fail with a "no
route" error (seen in SOST).
Have you checked WE02 Tcode...??

Purchase order distrubution using EDI

Hi, SAP gurus!
I am trying to set up Purchase order distrubution using EDI. ORDERS idocs will be sent through middleware message broker. I added ORDERS idoc in LS partner profile outbound data and set up medium type 6 for PO output. Something else is missing since I can't add manually output to a purchase order - error message VN032: "Maintain outgoing EDI-connection data for partner"
"Short Text
Maintain outgoing EDI-connection data for partner &
Diagnosis
The system could not locate the EDI partner agreements (outbound) for partner .
System Response
You cannot use transmission medium 'EDI' with this partner.
Procedure
Maintain the EDI partner agreements for partner . Make sure to create entries for output control as well as for outbound parameters."
What else is needed besides outbound idoc data in partner profiles?
Maybe I have to do everything completely different?
Thanks!

If it's an EDI interface, you should be using a trading partner partner profile type (KU or LF) ... a customer or vendor ... not a logical system, although you can use LS it's not really an optimal solution and you need to create more generic configuration to generate your IDocs from your business documents.
I cover configuration of output control for outbound EDI invoices in a series of blog postings at:

I also cover it extensively in my new book from SAP Press "Architecting EDI with SAP IDocs". All steps are covered in the blog postings and the book.
Good luck.

Idoc Generation after Purchase Order Creation through trading contract.

Hi All,
When a Purchase Order is created via trading contract, I need to generate an Idoc and pass details of the Purchase Order created to the Partner System.
Can anyone suggest any Function module or user exit which gets called while Purchase Order creation through trading contract, so that I can fill the Idoc with necessary details of the Purchase Order and send that to the Partner System?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Tejas,
I do not know about Trading Contract but what all I can say it that Check if Change pointers are getting written Once the PO has been created, If "Yes" then probably you do not have to do anything for craetion of Purchanse Order. You can use RBDMIDOC Program to create IDOCs from change pointers.
Refer [this|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/12/83e03c19758e71e10000000a114084/content.htm] for more information on change pointers.

Incorrect message type in IDOC for Purchase order change

Hi Gurus.
Please advise on below.
We have several purchase orders that are configured to trigger IDOC upon change. But accidentally, someone has deactiveted the automatic proposal of EDI message type for these Purchase orders which resulted to not transmitting purchase order change documents automatically.
As a workaround, we have proposed to create EDI message manually during Purchase order change. But upon checking in tcode WE09, message type is ORDERS which is PO create instead if ORDCHG for purchase order change.
Please kindly advice on why it is behaving like this for purchase orders with EDI message previously deactivated.
Thanks in advance.
Acel.
To simulate.
Create PO. go to messages, select EDI message then deactivate permanently. Save PO. Release PO if needed. Change PO. go to messages, EDI is not automatically proposed. create EDI message mamanually. Save PO. Release PO id needed. check tcode WE09, for PO create, no IDOC since it was deactivated permanently. For PO change, IDOC was triggered but with incorrect message type ORDERS instead of ORDCHG.

Hi Acel,
You will need to check the settings in transaction WE20 - You will be using a Partner Profile to determine the outbound message, either for each vendor or a generic one.
on the outbound parameters, you will need to ensure that ORDCHG is set up as a message type. If not, add it, ensuring that you use the message ORDCHG, the basic type (or extension) that you are using, usually ORDERS05 and make sure that in message control, you have process code ME02 set up. This should enable the correct message type to be determined.

Rob

Purchase Order Approval through Mobile Phone / BlackBerry

Dear fellows i am interested in Purchase Order Approval through Mobile Phone / BlackBerry. I have seen MSCA Mobile Supply Chain Application Guide but that is for telnet only devices and specific to supply chain. What are setup requirements to make PO approve though "Web App" or "Mobile App" as show in below image URL. We need to work it primarly on BlackBerry.
http://www.exforsys.com/images/OracleApps/t10_files/image010.gif
That will require logging in to EBS through Mobile and Making EBS available on Public IP !?! If this all fuss needs to be done then is there some Notification Alert type mechanism which sends email, but here a user could also reply that email with keywords to Approve or Reject that PO !?!
Thank you.

Dear Hussein, ur links are iPhone specific and also BPEL Connector specific ("Oracle Buisness Approvals for Managers" BPEL Connector). The links for Blackberry assume that i am atleast already getting emails on blackberry through EBS. Our env is through MS Exchange Server. Where as i believe from ur suggected docs that the EBS needs to have its own direct setup with blackberry
In our current env we are using Oracle Alerts to Just send an email to user that PO for approval is waiting. We are NOT using "Oracle WorkFlow Notification Mailer". For blackberry will we be locked to use Workflow Mailer (i see patch 6802716 pre req also)!?! or we can still use simple Alerts!?!
following thread says type "approve" in reply whereas metalink guides tell a URL to click in email. will it be a ...
href="mailto:[email protected]?body=approve"
type URL!?!
http://oracle.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/oracle-apps-l/po-approval-through-mail-3077383
===============================================================
There are a couple of steps that need to be complete before this will work.
Pre- Req's
1. Associate all apps users / approvers with email addresses
2. sync apps users with workflow
3. Check workflow users to make sure email is set to HTML.
4. Configure and enable workflow mailer. You will need configuration information for the email service being used and a mailbox on the email service.
5. Send a test message from workflow mailer to an apps user.
If this is successful, then email based approval will work. If the user tries to approve using a smart phone (blackberry, etc.) they will have to hit reply and type approve as the message for approval to work.
this guy also points to this idea.

Approving Requisitions/PO’s in Oracle E-Business Using Blackberry Devices
Presentation of a solution using Blackberry Devices to approve requisitions and purchase orders in Oracle E-Business Suite. This solution required creating a text message to send to Blackberry users, and modifying the Workflow Java Mailer to be able to correctly read the default messages being sent back from blackberry devices.

Purchase Requisition to Purchase Order conversion through workflow

Hello Experts,
My requirement is to create purchase requisition to purchase order automatically through workflow. How to proceed with these conversion, since am new to workflow please help me with the valuable inputs.
Thanks,
Naveen

How does the senior person approve? using workflow or using transaction ME54N?
if it's the standrad transaction then again, use a user exit or the released event.
even if the approval is done in the workflow I would not recomend using creating the purchase order as part of the workflow since this is not a workflow issue, but if there is no other option create a new method in BUS2105 (use delegation) and call the BAPI in it.

Tcode for Purchase order Changes

Hello Expert
I Know there is one Tcode from which we could find changes happen in Purchase order at item level . Can any one let me know on the same which Tcode.
I know the regular option by selecting the line item Environment->Item changes
thanks
Abhi

Hi,
You have to develope an own ABAP report for this, based on the change tables CDHDR and CDPOS
CDHDR - Header Change
CDPOS - Item Change
EREV - Version Change
Go to SE11 / SE16 / SE16N, here enter Object value as "PO No" in Table CDHDR and get the Document No and then input this in CDPOS and get the changes details. You can also enter EKKO and EKPO tables and see the whole list.

What Message type and Process Code to use for Purchase Order Change in 4.6C

I like to implement in SAP R/3 4.6C a scenario for Purchase Order Change, via inbound IDoc.
I have been searching, but could not find what Message Type, Idoc Basic Type and Process Code to use.
I can not imagine this functionality does not exist in 4.6C.
Any suggestions for my problem are welcome.

Hello,
In this case you should use the message PORDCH and BAPI method BAPI_PO_CHANGE but only exist as of release 4.7.
Function module    BAPI_IDOC_INPUT1
Idoc Type              PORDCH01
Message Type      PORDCH
So check carefully the following OSS notes:
[Notes 589066 - BAPI_PO_CHANGE: Incorrect account assignment to network |https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/589066] (not be fooled by the description)
[ Notes 197958 - BAPIs for purchase orders - Missing Functions|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/197958]
