Purchase Orders output via Email

When a buyer creates a purchase order for a vendor that is setup for email output, the email is sent to the vendor once it is saved. The vendor receives the email and it appears to be sent by the buyer.
When a buyer creates a purchase order for a vendor that is setup for email output and this PO requires approvals, the email output does not happen until the last approval is obtained. At this point the vendor receives the email and it appears to have been sent by the last person to approve the purchase order.
A vendor is receiving these purchase orders and in some cases replying to the email address from whom it was sent if they have questions, comments, etc. In cases where approvals took place the vendor is replying to the last person who approved the PO who is not necessarily the person who should be receiving these emails.
My question....is there a way to change it so that the email output always appears to come from the person (buyer) who created the purchase order and not the last person who changed (approved) it?

We are using workflow in the case of approvals, however we do not want the email output to appear to be coming from the last person who touches the order via workflow. Is there a way to customize through workflow to not use the last person who touches it as the sender?

Purchase order output error....

Hi,
Purchase order is created from a shopping cart.But PO output(via email) is not created.I am getting output error.Error log is showing message as "Incorrectly processed".
Error message description is "SUM OF PERCENTAGE EXCEEDS..." and "TABLE TEM_DEL_TO does not fit into window".
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Po is not deleted.Goods receipt is also done against that PO.Account asignment details are not changed.
For error "TEM_DEL_TO does not fit into window" below is further info attached in description.
You tried to display table TEM_DEL_TO in a window. However, the table either is too wide for the window or a horizontal shift by the specified value is impossible because the table would then no longer fit into the window. The same error occurs if a template is too high for the current subwindow. This is usually noticed in the check when the form is activated, but in some cases (with device types such as ASCIIPRI) the table measurements have to be adapted and this does not occur until runtime. With device type ASCIIPRI, for example, only integral multiples of 1/6 inches (vertical) or 1/10 inches (horizontal) can be used for positioning. The height of a line within a template therefore changes, for example, from 3mm to 4.2mm, causing the total height of the template to increase and exceed the height of the window.
System response
The system issues an error message.
Procedure
Correct the positioning of table TEM_DEL_TO or make the window bigger.

How to define a purchase order output print view as my element

Dear all :
I have created a purchase order and want to print,but i found the details of print doc is not my requirements.So,I want to change it .I don't know where the path is .THKS
Brian

Hello Jianfeng,
The purchase order layout can be changed using the SAP script/Form. You need to identify what you need to put on the purchase order output also you can include the client's logo and other standard and constant details (tax number / registration number etc).
You have to give this requirement to the technical person (ABAPer). (S)he will make the changes in the script program and you need to assign this form to the PO printing program.
In standard SAP version, Form MENDRUK is available for Purchase order printing.
Once form is developed by the developer, you need to assign this form in customization,
SPRO--> Mat Managmenet --> Purchasing --> Messages --> Forms Layouts for messages --> Assign form and output program for purchase order.
Hope this helps.

Purchase Order output to be blocked in ECC when the PO is technically Incom

Hi All,
First of all I would like to say that, I have searched the entire forum for this issue & as i could not find any thread relating to this, I am posting.
We have implemented SAP GTS & whenever a purchase order is created in ECC system and due to Business partner missing or Legal Unit missing in GTS, the document is created as Technically incomplete in GTS. Inspite of technically incomplete, the ECC users are able to print out the PO. We have implemented a SAP note for blocking the purchase order output when the customs Import document is Blocked in SAP GTS.
Could anyone let me know if we have any OSS note for blocking Technically incomplete purchase order's or is there any workaround to prevent the output from being printed.
Regards
Aravind G

Hi,
We have a requirement to block PO output as well so we implemented Note 900555. But how does it work? We do not see anything anywhere on the PO that would prevent output. We have POs that are blocked in GTS and nothing is any different on the PO. The note doesn't really explain how it works either. We assumed that the Output logs would also show a message of some sort.
In addition, when this note references blocking "output" is it only meant for blocking print? Or can it block electronic transmission as well?
If we can't get this note to work, we are thinking of adding GTS to the PO Release Strategy, in order to block transmission of anything to the supplier.
Thanks,
Jessica

Number of messages for Purchase Order output

Hi All!
I have to set the number of messages for the Purchase Order output at 2 (NAST-ANZAL). For a certain output type, in the Communication method the default value for Number of messages (original + copies) has to be 2. There is a transaction which allows me to do that but I don't remember it.
Yours answers and your time are appreciate.
Best regards.

Hi
The transaction is MN05 or

Purchase order output

Hi
I have created a new purchase order output. When I go to messages in a Purchase order, I do not see any output. The output/message screen is blank.
When I go to Determin. Analysis, I see the Output has been found. See picture below.

Sincerely,
Ketan

Hi Ketan,
Go to MN04 and select the condition type NEU if you are using the standard condition type or select the customized condition type and select the appropriate combination to maintain the output master record.
if you want to check whether you Purchase Order output has been assigned to your output or not
a) execute t-code NACE
b) Select EF -Purchase order
c) click on output types
d) here select NEU if u are using NEU or select the condition type which you have customized
e) click on the processing routines to see if the PDF/smartform is attached to the print out and fax.
hope this helps

Different interfaces for purchase order output from MM system

Dear Guru's,
We are configuring the business scenarios of service procurement classic and Plan driven procurement with supplier enablement in the MM-SUS environment for our SRM7.01/ECC6 ehp 5 combination.
These two scenarios are using different interfaces for purchase order output.
The service procurement classic is using the proxy interface PurchaseOrderERPRequest_
Out_V1 for purchase order output from ERP.
However, the plan driven procurement uses the interface ORDERS.ORDERS02 for idoc message for purchase order output from ERP.
Why are there two different interfaces for the same document output in two different business scenario? How the system will determine which interface needs to be used in the runtime for the purchase order output?
Any thoughts will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Hi Ranjan,
Please add the value 'CL' in the table SWF_CATIDS
Then it will work.

Purchase Order Output Message

Hello all,
in a purchase orderI will send out IDOC's. After creating the purchase order a proposal for an output type had been made (checked in analysis, the condition record has been found, but no proposal had been made in the purchase order. After saving the PO there is no record in NAST.
Has somebody an idea?
Regards
Norbert

hi
You need to do some configuration for this.
u2022 Goto NACE .
u2022 Select EF and click on OUTPUT TYPES.
u2022 Then select Output Type NEU and click on processing routines .
u2022 In that you have to add a new entry - medium 5 .
u2022 Then you need to assign a program, form routine and form.
u2022 You can use the standard program i.e. SAPFM06P, FORM routine is always ENTRY_NEU and standard MEDRUCK.
u2022 Then in PARTNER FUNCTION you need to add a new entry : medium - 5 and function - VN .
u2022 For subject of the mail goto Mail Title and Texts. In title give PO No. &EKKO-EBELN& .
u2022 Under General data -> Replacement of text symbols give programm as SAPMM06E and Form Routine as TEXT_SYMBOL_REPLACE .
u2022 Now the subject will be PO No. 1800004202.
u2022 You need to maintain your email id in tcode SU01 and also the vendor's email id.
u2022 Now while creating a new purchase order , change the medium to External Send .
u2022 Then goto Communication Method and select CS01 . ALSO make sure that the Cover Page Text has value PO No. &EKKO-EBELN& .
u2022 Goto tcode ME9F .
u2022 Execute.
u2022 Select the checkbox and click on Output Message.
u2022 You will get a message MAII 00000000000001 generated .
u2022 Use note no 191470

Purchase order - output type vendor different from PO vendor

Hello,
we have created a new output type that sends our purchase order as emails. The email will be sent to the vendor email address that is entered together with the output type under messages of a purchase order.
We need the emails to be sent an internal email address, so we don't send them to the vendor right away. For that reason, we have created a new vendor X that has our email address, only for that purpose.
If we now have a purchase order with vendor Y (this is the real vendor) and use our new output type along with vendor X (this is the vendor only created for sending the PO as email to us), will this affect the accounting process of how the purchase order is handled? Or does vendor X have no impact on accounting in this case?
Thanks
Anne

Hi Anne,
Vendor available (in your eg. X) in the output type messages screen for PO does not have any impact on accounting processes of main vendor (in your eg Y).

Purchase order output determination thru User exit

Hi,
We are trying to find a way to determine the output for PO while creation (me21n) or modification (me22n).
We do not want to maintain output condition records for each fax/print/email etc..cases.
Can we do below thru a user exit or any other method ?
While creating PO, an OA partner will be chosen, so instead of maintaining the output condition records,
- user exit can access to OA's vendor master record and read Standard Comm.Method in Address section.
- according to comm.method, the PO message should be determined..
i.e: if comm.method is Fax, then message should be sent to OA thru Fax.
can this be done thru an exit ?
Thanks and Regards,
Ocal

Hi Stefan,
The steps are as follows:
Output of Purchase Order
1. Condition Table
SPRO > Material Management> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control->Condition Tables->Define Condition Table for Purchase Order
Select:
Purchasing Doc. Type,
Purch. Organization,
Vendor
2. Access Sequences
SPRO -> Material Management-> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control->Access Sequences->Define Condition Table for Purchase Order
3. Message Type
SPRO -> Material Management-> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control->Message Types->Define Message Type for Purchase Order
*4. Message Determination Schemas*
4.1. Message Determination Schemas
SPRO -> Material Management-> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control->Message Schema->Define Message Schema for Purchase Order-> Maintain Message Determination Schema
4.2. Assign Schema to Purchase Order
SPRO -> Material Management-> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control->Message Schema->Define Message Schema for Purchase Order-> Assign Schema to Purchase Order
5. Partner Roles per Message Type
SPRO -> Material Management-> Purchasing -> Message -> Output Control-> Partner Roles per Message Type ->Define Partner Role for Purchase Order
6. Condition Record
Navigation Path: SAP Menu-> Logistics -> Material Management -> Purchasing-> Master data->Messages-> Purchase Order-> MN04-> Create
Now you create PO (ME21N) and save it. Go to ME22N and print the PO by giving output type.

SRM local Purchase Order output error

Hi Folks,
Please can somebody suggest any hints for the following error. Our SRM local Purchase Orders that are either emailed, faxed or printed are suddenly showing the error message 'Incorrectly processed' on the output log. The same error is also shown in the systems log at tcode slg1:
"Error Error when sending to
Error Error in address output (name not filled).
Error Action could not be successfully executed "
Any help at this stage would be welcome!
Ciao.
Mikey.

Hi Mike,
There may be many reason for this error.Once output of PO fails,you get error of this form.
See if anyone has changed anything in smartform/PDF which you are trying to output as PO.This may happen because of that changes.
Check with basis if they have changed any setting SCOT transaction.
Check the vendor master which you are using is having commucation details like E-Mail or Fax or print option set against it.
Cheers,Nishant

Repeat Purchase Order Output Type - Auto Repeat

Hi,
Currently, when we create the Purchase Order the output type will be automatically generated in the message tab once the Purcahse Order is saved. In our Purchase Order process, we have using the function Purchase Order Online Approval and Purchase Order Auto-email to vendor once the Purchase Order is approved.
For the Purchase Auto-email to vendor, we have modified the output type program to enable the Purchase Order auto-email function to vendor once the Purchase Order and it's working successfully and teh email is based on the output type status.
Now we have problem when the approved Purchase Order is revised and requires the reapproval. Once the Purchase Order is reapproved there is no new output type is genereated and therefore now email is out to vendor.Need the expert advice how to configure to repeat the output type when the Purchase Order is reapproved.
Rgds
Zahari

You have to ensure all the changes that are print relevant are included in the following configuration. Basically you have specify the PO fields that are print relevant, which means any change on this field will trigger a new print out message.
Here is the configuration path
SPRO -> Material Management -> Purchasing -> Messages -> Fields Relevant to Printouts of changes
