Hello friend,

Both are same and will have the same characteristics.

The difference is the ME21 is the older one and ME21n is the new one, that we can call as enjoy transaction.

Reward if found helpfull,

Hi,

yes there are differences. If you plan to pass dynpro values to the transaction (using OK codes like "*ME21N KNA1-BEGRU=abcd") you will fail for ME21N as parameter passing only works if the transction features a classical selection screen beforehand. For ME21 this works perfectly fine.

For cretaing transaction iview do refer the following link.

ME21 is the Old Transaction for Purchase order in which the program is coompletely written in core ABAP.

ME21N is the Enjoy transaction for Purchase Order in which the Program code is completely written in ABAP objects using Classes and methods.

Screens also changed completely from ME21 to ME21N.

Reward points
