You need to configure Output determination on the Sales order type, so that a Order response output type (like BA00) with email is triggered once the order is saved in the system.

  • SUS Purchase Order Confirmation notification (or alert) is possible ?

    Hello,
    We work on a SRM 5 release with a classic scenario.
    We use the EBP-SUS supplier collaboration scenario (clients are different for SRM and SUS).
    The purchasing document flow is describe below:
    1- SRM Shopping Cart
    2- R/3 Purchase Request (then, SRM SC history is updated with the PR number)
    3- R/3 Purchase Order (then, an IDoc is sent to XI which generates a XML document sent to EBP-SUS in order to create the corresponding sales order - SRM SC history is updated with the PO number).
    4- Then, supplier can confirm or reject the PO received. So, the SUS Purchase Order Confirmation is generated and sent back to R/3 ( via XI)
    5- R/3 PO is updated with the posted PO confirmation (you can see the confirmation control key AB in the 'Confirmation' tab of the PO item concerned).
    My request is to send a notification to the requester's mail client in order to inform him that supplier confirmed or rejected the PO.
    I noticed that notification receivers definition is possible in SPRO, but only for "Process Purchase Order Response". I guess this notification is for BUS2209 (SRM POR) and not for BUS2232 (PO confirmation for SUS).
    That's why i cannot use it: can anyone confirm this ?
    As alternative, i tried to use alert management in SPRO (in the SUS client) for BUS2232 with sub-category of event SRM_SUS_PO_CONF in ALRTCATDEF transaction for SRM Alerts, but it does not work (even if i schedule report RSALERTPROC ).
    Does anyone have a suggestion regarding my customizing ?
    Finally, when PO confirmation is posted in R/3 (step 5 seen above), the SRM SC history is not updated with the PO confirmation number: is this the standard way ?
    If yes and that the described notification (alert) customizing i indicated above are not possible, does it seem i will have to develop a specific notification process in R/3 when R/3 PO is updated with its PO confirmation coming from SRM-SUS ?
    Thank you for your help.
    Regards.
    Laurent.

    Hello Nagarajan,

    >  Looks like your intent is to notify the  Shopping Cart requestor about the PO response that happens in the Back end system!
    > This looks strange but then it is really required if you have a common buyer in SRM and MM.
    >(...)
    Requester being the initiator of purchasing document flow, custumer request is to alert him about supplier POR.
    If i send my notification from R/3, i will get Requester name at R/3 PO item. Then, by a RFC call to SRM, i will get his data to generate my e-mail.

    > The following approach can be adopted:
    > 1.Purchase Oder  Response Message can be pulled out of the XI thro a technical routing into the SRM which will post the Purchase Oder response in the SRM ( SRM PO will be updated)..There could be some issues with the variance POR and the status of the POR but that can be handled..
    >(...)
    I cannot do this: PO does not exist in SRM as we are in classic scenario.

    > I am unsure of the Alert Management.. but I heard there should be a way for that also..

    I carry on checking this solution

    >(...)
    Don't have time for this and SAP will answer that this is consulting and not support
    I will also verify if i can find a BAdI dedicated to SUS Purchase Order Response and use it to generate my e-mail from SUS client (or maybe some enhancements).
    Regards.

  • Fast entry transaction for entering purchase order confirmations

    Does anyone know of fast entry transaction for entering purchase order confirmations similar to VL31N for inbound deliveries?
    Thanks

    dear John,
    if i m not mistaken you want to give confirmation control to your existing POs.
    If the case is this you can opt for a BDC to be run for updation.
    Ask your abaper to do this thing.
    revert back if this is not the the case.

  • No order confirmation email / no items in order staus,

    I placed an order this morning have not received confirmation email yet. I cannot see any items in the order status, either. Could you check if the order has processed? Thank you.

    Hi there hyongju, 
    Welcome to the forum and thank you for shopping with us! When placing any order, receiving an order confirmation is crucial in your reassurance that your order has been received and is being processed. I'm truly sorry you may not have yet received an order confirmation for a recent order, and if this has caused you any concern. 
    Due to some maintenance on BestBuy.com last night, some order confirmation emails were delayed. We do fully expect these confirmation emails to push through our systems this afternoon. With that said, I was unable to locate your order in our systems, so I would like to look further into this. You may check your private messages by signing into the forum then clicking the envelope icon in the top right corner of the page. 
    Sincerely,

  • Sending Purchase Order by Email

    Hi, I need to send the purchase order by email, I've done that, but the vendor has multiple email address, let's say one for their financial dept, and another for the sales dept, I need to send the PO to the sales dept, but the PO is being sent to the vendor's financial dept.

    Other wise you can create the custom table where you can maintain the email morethan one and define the code in the program of email to determine the appropriate email for vendor based on your logic

  • VMI scenario: purchase order confirmation send to vendor

    Hello Dear Sappers,
    I'm using message type ORDRSP (Idoc ORDERS05) for inbound idoc  for Vendor Managed Inventory, and it works. Then, once the PO is created in our SAP, the system automatically send a PO confimattion message to our vendor through message variant VMI in the partner profile for the EDI message category ORDCHG.
    The system, once the PO is created, send an automatically ORDCHG Idoc to the vendor. The problem is that the system send the PO confirmation before the PO is release/aproved. That is a problem. My requeriment is to send the PO confirmation Idoc to the vendor after the PO is release.
    This is my configuration:
    Partner profile:
    When a message of the ORDRSP type is processed, a purchase order is created for the vendor who sent the purchase order confirmation.
    When a message of the ORDRSP type is processed, a purchase order is created for the vendor who sent the purchase order confirmation.
    Partner no.          VENDOR_AG
    Description:          VENDOR AG
    Partner Type:     LI
    Message Type:     ORDRSP
    Message Code:     VMI
    Process Code:     ORDV
    Processing:          Trigger immediately
    Send Purchase Order confirmation number to VENDOR AG:
    Partner no.          VENDOR_AG
    Description:          VENDOR AG
    Partner Type:     LI
    Partner Function     VN
    Message Type:     ORDCHG
    Idoc Type:          ORDERS05
    Message Code:     VMI
    Receiver Port:     CI.SPARES
    Pack Size:          1
    Output Mode:     Transfer Idoc immediately
    Message Control     Application: EF; Message type ZPOC; Process code ME11 and Change message indicator set.
    I created the Output Type ZPOC but when I tried to added manually to the PO "Maintain outgoing EDI-connection data for partner VENDOR_AG.
    However the strange thing is that the system send the PO confimation IDoc ORDCHG anyway (without any Output Type). But send the Idoc inmediatly the PO is created (not yet release).
    My question here is: how can I only send to the vendor the IDoc ORDCHG only when the PO is release?
    Thanks a lot to all
    Fred

    Hi,
    This problem was solved. I had to remove the message variant VMI from the partner profile. Keep the message type ORDCHG but without VMI variant. And with that way, the system do not send the Idoc after the PO is created. SAP send the Idoc after the PO is release and do it by Output Type determination.
    The key was to remove the message variant! Unbelievable!
    Thanks to all.
    Fred.-
