Regarding purchase order number

Hi
Just basic question in Sales document.
While creating Sales order, we are giving purchase order number in header.
why its required.
Can somebody explain me...
Regards
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
It is customer's reference number. Using this reference customer order can be tracked. For example if customer has any query regarding the order he placed, he can just refer the PO number and based on which customer service track the order of customer.
If you look an EDI order, Order is created in some legacy system and Data flows to SAP and an SAP order is created through an inbound IDOC. Then wat is the way to track the legacy system's order? It is through the purchase order number,based on which customer service can track the order information.  This is just an example for your understanding of the field of order.
Hope this explains.

  • How to trace purchase order number with respect to Purchase requestion numb

    Hi friends,
    Can u please help me how to Trace purchase order number with respect to purchase Requetuion  number. Is there any standard report  available in R/3

    Hi Vamsi,
    Thats what!!!
    Goto SE16 - EBAN - Give PR number in the iput screen.
    In the output screen you will have to do field selection from Menu - Settings - formatlist - choose fields.
    There you choose Purchase Order.
    So the output will display for you POs for the PR that you entered.

  • Purchase order number for each postings with FBL3N

    Hello
    With tcode FBL3N, I need to get all the postings on expenses accounts. Additionally it is possible to get more information on the postings from the orginal paper invoice. It shall be also more convenient to get the purchase order number walk trhough SAP with it. Then is it possible to get the purchase order number for each postings with FBL3N?
    thanks for inputs
    sb

    Hello,
    Could you please add field BSEG-EBELN as a special field in FBL3N (from
    menu path Settings -> Special fields).
    Then, select the Purchase order field again from "Change Layout"
    (Ctrl+F8). Now this field is available for display variants, it has the
    technical name 1-U_EBELN and the description 'Purchase Document'.
    The other field has the same description but as technical name
    '1-EBELN'. When you create a display variant be aware that you select
    1-U_EBELN and not 1-EBELN.
    *******Please also refer to attached notes 215798 and 984305.

  • Update Purchase order number in Sales order item level from inbound ORDCHG iDoc

    Hi Gurus,
    I want to update purchase order number from the iDoc 'ORDCHG' to sales order item level (sold to party purchase order number) i.e, VBAK-BSTKD.
    Which exit I need to use?  where to update?  Can you please help.
    Thank you in advance.
    Regards,
    San

    Finally Resolved the problem by writing 2 exits.
    one exit 'EXIT_SAPLVEDB_007'  for identify correct item in the sales order by updating the customer purchase order item number i.e., VBAP-POSEX.  if we update the POSEX field then it wont create new item instead, it will update the item which it is referring to .
    2nd exit for updating the purchase order number. 
    I have tried to pass the program name, screen number, field name, field value etc to bdcdata in the exit 'EXIT_SAPLVEDB_002'. but I observed that it is not going to that screen in the debugging.
    when I try E1EDP02 with QUALF '044' it will update ship-to party's purchase order number.  so to update ship-to party's purchase order number it is going to that screen. 
    so I have used that thing to update purchase order number in sold-to party's purchase order number.
    so when it is going that screen iam changing the field name 'VBKD-BSTKD_E' to 'VBKD-BSTKD' in bdcdata.  Then it is worked.
    This is the solution I found in my time.
    Any way it is solved.  Hope it will be helpful for others who will get this problem.

  • "In FBL5N unable to view purchase order number and the sales order number"

    Hi,
    Below mentioned is the problem we are facing,
    In the Customer Line Item Display (FBL5N) it is vital for us to be able to view the customer's purchase order number as well as the sales order number for each billing document listed by customer.
    We need to be able to extract this information for each customer and import to an excel spread sheet for analysis, specifically for our larger customers that have over 500 plus lines.
    Kindly advise how to go about the same.
    Regards
    Harish

    Dear,
    Please also check note 152335. There, you will find a more detailed            
    explanation of the issue.                                                                               
    The only way to see some information regarding related PO-es in a Vendor       
    line items is a workaround. For example, it is possible to create              
    a substitution in order to fill in one of not currently used fields            
    like Reference, Text, etc.    
    I hope this helps You.

  • Purchase order number ranges plant wise

    Hi ,
    Requirement is , want to have purchase order number  plant wise. I know that we can have different number ranges for different document types in standard SAP. But how to achieve different number ranges for purchase order plant  wise.?
    Is there any user exits available for this?
    regards,
    abi

    Hi,
    it is possible through a BADI to get the separate number ranges for plant wise PR/PO,
    but u need to maintain a customised table with number ranges and plants,
    whenever the user try to save a PO/PR the syatem will pick the number range from the customised table,
    that BADI is ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST,
    it is very useful if any client has number of plants like 30 or 40 plants,
    and it is easy track the PO from where it has raised.

  • Defining Purchase Order Number as a Required Entry

    Dear All,
    I've cut and pasted the contents of sap.help.com below, I'm trying to make the Purchase order Number in sales order document a required entry but I'm unable to locate the checkbox in VD02 as mentioned in help text. can some one help me out.
    Defining Purchase Order Number as a Required Entry:
    Use:
    If a customer order number appears on the order for that customer, you can define the PO number (purchase order number) field as a required entry.
    Procedure:
    Choose Logistics ® Sales/distribution ® Master data ® Business partners ® Sold-to party ® Change ® Change.
    Enter the customer and select the Control data view in the General data area of the screen and choose Enter.
    The system now displays the Customer Change: Control Data screen. In the Reference data/area section, select the Purchase order req. checkbox. Save the customer master.
    Result:
    You will have to enter the purchase order number on the Order Entry screen for this customer in all future orders.

    Hi
    TRy transaction VOV8
    select sales document type and go to general control and select Enter PO number check box.
    Otherwise you can create your own incompletion procedure in OVA2 and maintain whatever field you want mandatory and asign this procedure to  sales document type with transaction VUA2 and mark IC dialog.

  • Purchase Order : function to determine the purchase order number

    Hi,
    I'm working on data migration to create purchase order. I must use the internally range number. Does anybody knows which function must i use to create the purchase order number before calling the bapi bapi_po_create ?
    with regards
    Jean-Luc Ledoux

    Hi,
    The BAPI is designed to generate the next free number that is defined by the company and allocate it in series.
    This is taken care internally.
    explain the scenario like as from what data ur creating the PO and wht exactly do u mean by having ur own internal number range.....
    No body will have 2 number ranges to define PO....
    if ur uploading data from legacy system then u can have 2 fields called as old purchase order number and purchase order number in new erp system.
    if this is ur scenario ask how the functional mapping is done in the company to accomadate legacy purchase order numbers.

  • Purchase order number in FBL1N

    Dear all,
    Please suggest how we can fetch purchase order number in fbl1n report even by putting sort key 014 (purchase order number) in vendor master and G/L master it is not fetching
    Thanks and Regards
    Priya

    Hello Priya,
    You should get PO number on vendor account with using FBL1N. But you must do some developments for it.
    I wrote message how can you add additional field in FBL1N before message below.
    Re: Vendor & Customers in FBL3N
    But you can update PO field on vendor line items display.
    You can skip adding field section on message which I gave you above.
    You must copy from SAMPLE_INTERFACE_00001650 to ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650 FM and some customizing for updation BTE. I specified it on message.
    Then you'll write some ABAP for PO number update in vendor line items.
    I'm giving to you some examples below.
      TABLES : bkpf, bseg.
      e_postab = i_postab.
      IF sy-tcode EQ 'FBL1N'.
        SELECT SINGLE *
          FROM bkpf
          WHERE bukrs = i_postab-bukrs
            AND belnr = i_postab-belnr
            AND gjahr = i_postab-gjahr.
        IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
          IF bkpf-awtyp EQ 'RMRP'.
            SELECT SINGLE *
              FROM bseg
              WHERE bukrs = i_postab-bukrs
                AND belnr = i_postab-belnr
                AND gjahr = i_postab-gjahr
                AND ebeln NE space.
            IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
              e_postab-ebeln = bseg-ebeln.
            ENDIF.

    hi,
    In the SAP Order Transactions ME21N, ME22N and ME23N, you can select by purchase requisitions in the document overview (selection variant -purchase requisitions).If you do so, it is possible to select explicitly by open and released purchase requisitions...
    OR
    In Transaction MEPO, in the document overview you can select by purchase requisitions. Here you can select only open purchase requisitions and execute...
