Use
    You can assign a character to related fields. You can then use this
    character to select the fields in the application.
    Note
    SAP recommends you use only the folloiwng characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9.
Example
    You wish to obtain a quick and straightforward overview of changes
    involving the material, order quantity, and price. This information is
    particularly important to you. You therefore assign the character A to
    these fields.
Indicator: no output
    Indicates whether the field is included in the display of changes.
Use
    If this indicator is selected, the corresponding field is not included
    in the display of change documents.
Example
    You have selected the indicator for the Requester field. The content of
    this field is then changed in the purchase requisition.
    Result
    The changed field is not included among the changes that are displayed.
Indicator: No output in case of versions and buyer approval
    Specifies whether or not the field is to be included in the display of
    changes for a version.

Purchase Order Version Management / Amendment Number

Hi All,
Can anyone help with the following......
Everytime we re-print a Purchase order the amendment automatically increases.
For audit purposes we have to identify every change to a PO but we do not want to have to document hundred of re-print every year.
Is there a way of controlling what justify's a changes or what triggers the amendment number to increase?
We basically want the amendment number to increase if the Po has been changed but not if we are simply reprint the document.
Many Thanks in advance, points will be rewards immediately.
Chris

After activating version management you can see the Version tab in ME53N near to source of supply tab in PR.

SAP Enterprise Buyer provides you with version management for purchasing documents. As a first step, you can display versions of purchase orders and contracts.
The system creates a version in the background if you, as a purchaser, carry out one of the following actions:
· You change a posted purchase order
· You order a posted purchase order again
· You change a contract that has already been released
· You release an already released contract again
In contrast to the change documents that retain a change history, a version displays the status of a document at a specific point in time.
Version management provides a check for you as a purchaser, for example, if you wish to display a purchase order in the form in which you transferred it to the vendor on day X. A version provides clarity, for example, in negotiations on a contract.
Features
You can use versions as follows:
· Display
· Compare and list differences in tabular form. The comparison result has separate areas that can be displayed:
Header data (including organizational data, tax and payment data; partner data and documents)
Item data (including taxes and limits if they exist; partner data, documents; account assignment and conditions)
· Archive, if it relates to transaction data (you can archive versions of purchase orders, but not contract versions)
You cannot change or output versions. This is only possible for the active document.
Also, visit the following thread:
Hope this will help.

Naveen.

Item changed in Purchase Order version

Hi to all,
my customer needs to have the list of items of a purchase order that have changed in a version. I explain: I have a purchase order in version 0 with 10 items, for example. I create version 1 and II change quantity or price or unit of measure or other of 3 of these items. So I need to know if exist a function module with in input version number and in output these 3 items and what changed.
Can you help me please?
Thank you very much
Enrico

There is no company/purchasing/plant specific customizing for purchase order text.
The customizing copying rules for the "Texts for Purchase Orders" affects all equally .
If the text in the purchase order in ME23N is already filled different to other plants, then you either have a modification in place, or the texts are differently maintained in the referenced data (vendor, material, info record, contract)

Sales order and purchase order date management

Hi all,
I am new to SAP so please pardon the question in advance if this is a basic one.
I need a little help with purchase order and sales order dates. Our supplier runs SAP and our two systems are tied together. Currently my supplier is not updating their promise date because this is how we are tracking late shipments. However, this means ETA/ETD dates are incorrect. Is there a way for us to keep track of late shipments and still maintain accurate ETD/ETA dates? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Firstly, thank you Edgar and Rahul for taking the time to answer my question.
Apologies guys I should have provided more information in my initial post.
Our parent company is also our supplier. We cut a purchase order, notify them of the purchase order and in turn they cut a sales order. My supplier (parent company) is stating if they update the "first date" column in their sales order (which would in turn populate a correct ETA date) we will lose the ability to track late shipments.
To answer your question Edgar I am referring to the sales document. It is my understanding my supplier is only modifying the "First Date". Are there several date field in a sales document we can use to 1. track original promise date 2. maintain accurate ETA?
From a "customer" standpoint I need to be able to view both dates so that I know when I can expect to actually receive product and if that product is/was late.
Thanks!

Activating Workflow Purchase Order Material Management:

Hi:
I am working in the Workflow for Purchaser Order.
Actually I have to notify when an Order have been created.
I am using the BUS2012 and also using as basis the Workflow WS20000075.
My problem is that I pre-configured Workflow in the transaction SWU3 and everything is OK.
And I activated the WF in the transaction SWDD in the start events:
Category: Object Type: Event of the object:
BO BUS2012 RELEASESTEPCREATED
And every time that I am creating a new Purchaser Order the Workflow automatic deactivated, and I have to activate this again manually.
Is there any way to avoid the deactivating?
Or Are there any way obligate the Workflow always been active?
Thanks a lot for the help
Best Regards.
Jessica

Hi eveybody:
Thanks for your help. I have two possible solutions. Can you tell me what do you think about these?
I entered to the transaction SM21 and check the logs. I found the following:
The enqueue lock for the work item, which was set by the who has been invalidated by the execution of an application met Business Workflow. This problem only occurs when the function DEQUEUE_ALL is called within the application method. The who runtime system consequently has an inconsistent status. The symptoms can arise:Work items have the status COMPLETED although the completin received and processed. The workflow container has an undefined status Deadlocks occurs in the workflow database tables
So, We need to aplicate a note, and the basis is working on that.
While the basis is working on that I used the transaction SWEQADM, in basic data I change the information of the receiver error feedback to: Do not change linkage, and now is working, the WF is not deactivating with this.
Actually I hope that the note help me, and I can put instead of do not change linkage, the standard Deactivation of linkage.
What do you think about it?
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards

Purchase Order version issue...

Hi,
We are facing one very picular issue.
Whenver an PO is getting created with reference to the Shopping Cart or through carry out sourcing or a direct PO, system is generating the version as 2.
Actually, once the SC is approve through various stages or when we are creating a PO using carry out sourcing or we are creating an puchase order directly then the version should always be zero.
Can somebody help/guide me to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
~Abey

Whenver an PO is getting created with reference to the Shopping Cart or through carry out sourcing or a direct PO, system is generating the version as 2.
Not only PO, but all business document types that are configured to have versioning turned on have the same behavior as you described, which is standard. The reason is that when PO is first created and ordered, a historical version is generated as a copy of the active document. That historical document is given version 1. The current active document would then be 2 to begin with. There has never been a version zero concept in SRM standard.

Dear Friends,
Following are the requirements of client to make the Purchase Order Version active.

ASK

hello,
did you activated the version management in the system. if not activate it through the following menu path,
spro>material management>purchasing>version management> Set Up Version Management for External Purchasing Documents
check the box against your P.org.
once you activate it., create a po with that p.org and try changing that po through me22n. a version tab will appear in header details. make any required changes in po and save it. now go to the versions tab, select the version line and click on the "display changes" button. you'l get a detailed changes list that you have made in the po.
hope this helps,
regards,

Fields triggering Version management in POs

I see in the following path in SPRO
MM-> Purchasing ->Version Management -> Set up version management for external purchasing document:
Version Management is active for doc cat 'F ' , doc type EC , and Purchasing Org FR01. But still when I changed the price of a PO (type EC and pur org FR01 ) and set the delivery indicator in the PO , the version management was not triggered.
What is the reason for this? Is it that VM will be triggered only for a specific fields in the PO?Where are these fields set?
I have seen in the same path there is an option "Version-relevant Fields of Purchase Requisitions" , but there is nothing for PO

hi,
Check your settings properly...
You can't set the fields for the PO as you do for PR...
The whole document will be taken in to consideration for version change and if setttings done properly
then the version compleated indicator must be set before releasing the PO and then check...

Field nameEMATN(material),TableMEPO1211--material field in Item over view
Field nameMENGE(Quantity),TableMEPO1211
For Header level fields:
Field nameZTERM(payment terms field),,TableMEPO1226
Category--A or B for selection of change documents
No out put--if i tick it concern field will not included in change doc
Version--what is the purpose
Please suggest me
1) we need enter the all the field names in the item over view and item details and Header level fields as given above ,is it correct.
2) And with regard to Table, do i enter for Header level fields-EKKO or MEPO1226 which is available in F1 under techinical information,
for item level fields,shall i enter table name-EKPO or MEPO1211as dispalyed in the F1 under techinical information.
3) I need to enter all the fields existing in the purchase order
4) All these fields and data is to be entered for every document type NB and ZCO.
5) After changes are made in Purchase order,first time on saving the PO,version is creating automatically,

Please suggest.

Also tell me the use of *Display of change documents in PO*.
It will display changes made both in item & header.It will help you to audit all changes made in p.o after it is raised.
In version management not all changes can be ameneded as seperate versions
only critical changes like price revision,quantity revision.
