Standard SAP Document Type DB (Dummy Purchase Order)

Hello fellow experts!
I have seen this PO document type at previous clients and was wondering what the intended use is?  I know this was not customer-specific because I had seen it at several client sites (using 4.6c and 4.7).  It looks like my current client has deleted it from their list of document types so I can't research it myself.
I first asked about it when I was attending SAP's MM Configuration course SCM550 several years ago.  This document type was not mentioned in any training materials but was clearly visible in the training system.  The instructor asked his colleagues at the end of the day but was never able to provide an answer.  I see no reference to it on help.sap.com or by doing a Google search.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.  There may be some great functionality I've never known of!
Regards,
Jason

In ECC 6.0 It is blanket PO
Dummy PO and Blanket PO are same
In general the Blanket POs are used for consumable materials such as Xerox papers with a short text (does not need to have Master Record) with Item Category ' B' i.e.limit, where in the PO validity period as well as the limits are to be mentioned for the simplicity of procurement.
In SAP, Blanket Purchase Orders refer to the business process where you have a Purchase Order with a validity period (start / end date) and a limit on the item. No Goods Receipt takes place. Payment is triggered by Invoice.

  • Deleted standard SAP document types

    Hello Gurus,
    By mistake i have deleted standard SAP document types and the request also get released. I want to know what is the effect of such document types on system while using DMS?
    Will appreciate for the quick reply.
    Regards,
    Bhushan

    Hello Bhusan,
    Rollback option is ruled out since the request has already been released!! The immediate impact is that all the DIR's created so far using those deleted Document Types will not be available neither will the users be able to create new DIR's for those Document Types.
    However,the assuring part is that if you re-create those Document Types again in SPRO using exactly the same parameters defined earlier,the system will make the DIR's created earlier available as well as permit creation of new ones using those Document Tyes.

    Thanks,

  • Linking document info record and purchase order

    Hi all,
    I hope that someone can help me because I'm having a problem with creating links between document info records and purchase orders.
    By default in SAP I can create links between document info record and purchase order ITEMS! When I create that link, I can see it in document info record under Object links tab, but when I double click on the number of purchase order nothing happens (I expected that this purchase order will open).
    Why is that so?
    Why can't I access purchase order from document info record even though the link exists?
    The other question is about creating object links to purchase orders, not purchase order items! Is it possible to link document info record with purchase order?
    I would appreciate quick answer because we're in the middle of a project and we're stuck with that problem.
    Thanks!

    Hi Karlo,
             As you mentioned, object links could be linked to Purchase order items. In customisation you maintain these entries under the node SPRO > Cross Application Components> Document Management--> Control Data --> Define Document Types --> Define Object Links.
    There are many links in the standard system (possible entries).
    The system automatically determines the screen number (dialog box) where the key data for the object is maintained for document maintenance.
    You can check the screens when the screen entry is missing or contains errors by doing the following:
    Start the Object Navigator and display the objects for the development class  CV.
    Expand the function group 130. The structure nodescreens lista all screens that can be used for object links.
    You can make an object link to SAP objects that are not shown in the possible entries list. To do this, proceed as follows:
    In the standard system, there are already two special screens for the module pools SAPLCV130 and SAPLCV140 for the linked SAP object.
    You must create two new screens with the same number for the module pools SAPLCV130 and SAPLCV140 .
    The processing logic must follow that of screen 1204 in program SAPLVC130.
    Create function module OBJECT_CHECK_XXXX (XXXX = object name)
    If the object can be classified, this function module already exists .
    Otherwise copy the function module for linking equipment DOCUMENT_CHECK_EQUI and change it as required for the new object.
    Hope the above instruction helps in solving your problem,

    Regards
    Pandari

    Hi
      Dummy Purchase Order is not a SAP functionality but some times used because of the business requirement.
    Dummy purchase order is usally used to have the legal document. Its used for pretty Items, where there is no need of GR/Invoice.
    In general the Dummy POs are same as Blanket POs that are used for consumable materials that does not need to have Master Record with Item Category ' B' i.e.limit, where in the PO validity period as well as the limits are to be mentioned for the simplicity of procurement.

  • New order type for a purchase order similar tu UB.

    Hi,
    I would like to know if it is possible to create a new order type for a purchase order. This new order type should work as a UB order type but "plant" and "storage location" should be indicated by default and shouldn't be changed.
    How should I proceed?
    Thanks in advance.
    Luis.

    The problem is that If I specify default values for each user (plant and storage location) It will always propose these values when using different order types. This can't be.
    Isn't there any other solution in standard sap?

    It could also be authorization issue, which needs to be assigned to the user. Check with your basis consultant.

  • Accounting document number display in purchase order history tab

    Is it possible to display the accounting document number in the purchase order history tab?  Currently it is displaying material document number for Good receipts and LIV (logistic invoice verification) document number for Invoice receipts against material document number colmn.  We can get to the accounting document number by drilling into the LIV document number.  We are looking for a way to display the accounting document number in the display screen of purchase order history tab instead of drilling down. 
    Is there an option to display accounting document number of the MIRO posting in ME23N , purchase order history tab?
    Truly appreciate any help in this regard.

  • Document in transfer for purchase order - creation not possible

    Hi Experts,
    we get this error when we do confirmation"'document in transfer for purchase order - creation not possible'"
    any inputs are appreciated
    Rg
    sam

    Hi All,
    We have resolved the above problem.
    When user does confirmation ,if it sucessfully  created then there will be  no entry in BBP_Document_tab table.If it's in error in process and next time when user tries to do GR then he will encounter a pop up message "Document in transfer for PO, creation not possible".
    So we need to delete the entries from table BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB using FM BBP_DELETE_FROM_DOCUMENT_TAB.
    Then check again in BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB now there will be noentry there...so now user can do the confirmation from SRM,he will not encounter this error now.
    Thanks to all the ppl who has replied

  • Account Document Number Against the Purchase Order No.

    Hi,
    I have 2 queries in my report...
    1..i want Account Document Number Against the Purchase Order No.
    2..and Account Document Number Against the Invoice No.
    Note:.. Account Document Number have the 55... series. foe ex. 5500017019...
    Plz let me know in which table i can get it...
    Thanks...

    Hello Prince,
    To find the GR no. against the FI doc number the tables involved will be BKPF, RSEG, EKBE.
    Plz see the algorithm below for details:
    1. Select the A/C'ing docno. from BKPF. For the FI docs selected, get the incoming invoice details from RSEG.
    RSEG-BELNR = BKPF-AWKEY+0(10)
    RSEG-GJAHR = BKPF-AWKEY+10(4)
    Please note you can restrict the FI docs selections by using BKPF-AWTYP = 'RMRP'.
    2. From RSEG you get the PO number (RSEG-EBELN) & then go to the PO History Table EKBE to get the GR number (EKBE-BELNR).
    EKBE-EBELN = RSEG-EBELN
    EKBE-EBELP = RSEG-EBELP.
    Hope this is clear.

  • Standard report - Gross Weight sum by Purchase Order document

    Hello,
    Is there a standard SAP report that will give me the total Gross Weight for a Purchase Order?
    I can find this information by going to SE16 - table EKPO - and doing a sum of Gross Weight (field BRGEW).  However, I'm looking for a standard report that will give me this information as the user does not have SE16 access.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for the information, however, I cannot specify a specific Purchasing Document in that transaction, nor does the transaction tell me what specific PO the weight is tied to.

  • Standard n-step approval workflow for Purchase Order in sap 4.7?

    Hello friend,
                 In SAP 4.7 there is any standard template for  n-step approval workflow for Purchase Order.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi AM,
    there is no std template for n-step approvals but for Single Release.
    What you could do is create a custom one as per the number of approvals for PO.
    Also note a PO Release Strategy can handle only 8 levels of approval.
    Hope it helps.
