Purchase Order Data Transfer

Hi,
I'm a consultant working for a company that has as one of its customers, a company that has recently implemented SAP Retail.
My client receives Purchase Orders from the SAP Retail company.  Under their old system, they used to be via Excel, which we developed a program to read automatically.  Now my client gets a SAP-generated PDF.
I'm trying to find out if SAP Retail can export purchase orders in a data-transferable medium (XML, Excel, ...) rather than PDF.  We have not been able to reach anyone on their implementation team.  If necessary, we will implement a system around the PDF files, but it seems insane that a new SAP system implementation takes a step backwards in this regard.
If someone can confirm if this is possible, and any pointers on what they need to do set it up, or how we can access it, that will be much appreciated.  We can then push harder to get this happening.  If on the other hand, the PDFs are the only option then at least we know we need to concentrate on that.
Thank you for your time.

Hi Michael,
SAP is designed to send a XML file from a purchase order or any other document type (delivery, sales order, transportation, etc) with very little effort. This means, that SAP delivers already a solution for that which the customer needs to set up.
To create a PDF file actually requires quite a lot of custom development, specially to comply to the layout the customer requires. This is usually a task that goes from the testing team to the development team back and forth a few times before it is accepted.

    Hi Expert!
    Need your help.
    User could not make Could not create Purchase Order Stock Transfer Order for new plant 1075 & 1076 at P05 with error message Not posible to determine shipping data for material. Our new vendor are 510022060 for new plant 1075 and 510022061 for new plant 1076.
    The problem was caused by the missing STO setup for these two plant 1075 and 1076, as no customer code being referred.
    Now i got the customer number for these two plants but how to set it up in configuration? Please guide me step by step.

    Hi Crystal,
    The following customising need to be carried out for Inter Company Stock Transfer.
    Path : sproMaterials ManagementPurchasing-Purchase OrderSet up Stock Transport Order
    Define Shipping Data for Plants :
    For the Supplying plant (1) the Sales Org data to be maintained.
    For the Receiving plant (2) the Customer No to be maintained.
    Create Checking Rule - U can use existing one Eg : B
    Define Checking Rule : Use Standard one Eg :01 linked to B.
    Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule -- For the Supplying Plant (1) and document type NB use the delviery type NLCC and Checking Rule B.
    Assign Document Type, One-Step Procedure, Underdelivery Tolerance :
    For the supplying Plant (1) and Receving Plant (1) ; assign the document type : NB.
    Points to be noted :
    The Material should exists in both the plants ( 1 & 2 ) with the sales view maintained . Note that the Loading grp / Transporting Grp is mantaory in Sales Views.
    The Vendor is to be assigned to the supplying Plant (1 ) in Purchasing View of Vendor Master.
    For that click on Extras - Add Purchasing data in Purchasing view of Vendor Master (XK02 )

  • Copy purchase order data from inquire or quotation

    Dear experts!
    Thank you for your attention!
    when i create a sales order, i want to copy the purchase order data, such as PO no. , contact person at the customer's site, etc., from the inquire or quotation referenced.
    what should i do?
    Best regard!
    Tangdark

    First, in transaction VTAA, you have to set up copy control from the inquiry/quotation to your sales order. Then, you can create the sales order with reference to your inquiry/quotation, and the data will be copied. If needed, via transaction VOFM, you can maintain alternative data transfer routines to copy more data than the standard copy control does.

  • Doubt in uploading purchase order data using BDC

    Hi friends,
    how to upload purchase order data.
    1) In both BDC and BAPI which one is preferable?
    2) for suppose if it is through BDC,  how to use? what are the transactions that we can use(SHDB, ME21N,ME21)?
    3) To execute the job in background, is it possible for both call transaction and session method.
    Thanks in advance
    Sreenivas k

    It really depends on the number of records you have. Still for a set of 5,000 records my answer to your questions will be:
    1) In both BDC and BAPI which one is preferable?  - <b>Go with BDC</b>
    2) for suppose if it is through BDC, how to use? what are the transactions that we can use(SHDB, ME21N,ME21)? - <b>Yes, its SHDB for recording, SE38 for abap program and ME21 for PO. Avoid SAP Enjoy transactions for recording as you may end up having problems wiht it.</b>
    3) To execute the job in background, is it possible for both call transaction and session method. - <b>If you use call transaction method then you have to schedule the job to run in background or simply run it through F9 instead of F8. In case of session method you can chose to process the session in background. However  I would suggest you go with BDC Session method for this.</b>

  • Updating Purchase Order data in VBKD table

    Hello,
    We are trying to update Purchase order data in VBKD table for Sales Order at Item level. When sales Order is created, VBKD has a default record with VBELN = 'sales order number' and Item = '00000'. We want to update BSTKD_E field with Purchase order number for VBELN= 'sales order number' and Item = '00010'.
    We wrote our logic in USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE and USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELDS_TO_VBKD in MV50AFZZ to append new entries in XVBKD with VBELN= 'sales order number' and Item = '00010'. But in this case Sales order is not created with UPDATE TERMINATED message. We are not sure if we can append a new record in XVBKD.
            wa_xvbkd = xvbkd.
            wa_xvbkd-posnr = wa_xvbap-posnr.  "00010
            wa_xvbkd-bstkd_e = vbkd-bstkd.   "PO no
            wa_xvbkd-posex_e = wa_xvbap-posnr. "Purch. order item no
            wa_xvbkd-updkz = C_I.
            APPEND wa_xvbkd TO xvbkd.
            CLEAR wa_xvbkd.
    Please advice the suitable way to have a Purchase Order item level data in Sales Order.
    Thanks

  • Purchase Order date vs Invoice date

    Hi to all.
    In our system we run t-code me21n to create purchase order and later on we run t-code MIRO, MIR7 etc. to post incoming invoice. My question is how do I prevent system from letting end users enter invoice date that has earlier date than purchase order? Let's say purchase order was created on December 3-rd, but end users enter as an "invoice date" in the t-code MIRO December 2-nd and system lets it go through, not even warning message. What I want to accomplish is to create "E" message and not let end-users enter invoice date earlier than purchase order date.
    Help is sincerely appreciated.

    Thanks for your reply.
    Our R3 system is designed for government funded organizations. The issue is that government funded organizations are not supposed to have PO entered in the system until they are provided with funds which are quite often get delayed because of all the paper work that has to take place. Suppliers know about it and quite often they supply goods to budget organizations even before PO are in place. Once the budget organization receives the funds that they can spend, they enter PO details and invoice details but it turns out that invoice date is earlier than PO date. At very least we would like to have our system give a "W" message.

  • SAP renamed 'Purchase Order Data' tabs but it is not changed in menu bar

    In VA01/VA02/VA03  transactions,  SAP has renamed the "Purchase  Order Data" tabs at header and item level to "Order Data" but the Goto > Header   and    Goto > Item    menu paths still have "Purchase Order Data" as the name.  This is inconsistent.  Is there an SAP fix for it?

  • Regarding LSMW -- Purchase Order Data

    Hi Friends,
    I have one requirement i.e purchase order data need to be upload through LSMW via Direct input method.
    =============
    pls find the belwo flat file structure
    old_PO           material            price            qty
    P123              M111                  10               1
    P123              M222                  10                1
    P123              M333                  20               1
    ===============
    Normally if I upload same data into SAP, it will create three purchase orders with different SAP numbers.
    I want if old_PO number is matches with the previous record all the materials should be in single transaction and single Purchase order should be created.
    Can any body help how to resolve this issue. This is very urgent.
    pls explain in detail. I am using LSMW. I don't have no other option.
    =====
    please don't post any junk amswers.
    =====
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Raghunath,
    Don't think that this reply is junk one.I cannot explain you in detail but try like this.
    In the fifth step of LSMW,You can find Global data definitions & Processing times.
    In any of these you can just fetch the values from database with reference to flat file data like..
    select PO from ...where PO = source-PO.
    if sy-subrc EQ 0.
    skip_transaction. Using this function you can skip this record
    endif.
    Award points if useful.
    Thanks,

  • Purchase order data base

    I need help.
    I have a database that contains all purchase orders
    I'd like to be able to create a report that shows only the most recent order for each supplier
    ordered by date.  Sounds simple but I have been struggling with this for awhile.
    Thanks

    Create a group on the supplier name
    create a group on the purchase order date - ascending order
    place the output fields you want to see on the report in the footer section of the purchase order date.
    Suppress the purchase order date header, the detail section and the supplier name footer.
    You may need to do a 'top N' group sort to get it to sort by date, as the instructions I'm giving would put it in Supplier order.
    Only the last purchase order data will display on the report.  If you want to include Supplier specific information, such as address, phone or customer number you can place those fields in the Supplier group header.
    This report will pull in all the data but only display the last record for each supplier's last purchase order (assuming they only have one purchase order in a day...if you have more than one in a day you may want to include a purchase order number group and move all the data into that footer).
    If you're going to summarize, say, try to get 'total dollars for month', you'll need to use a 'running total' and specify the dates to be used in the Evaluate section formula.
