hi,

U've to create the desired doc type for the PO in SPRO (MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Define Document Type), then

only can specify the desired doc type in trx ME59N

If you would like to make the automatic creation of PO from PR (frontground) then you should look at Transaction ME59. However, in this case, the following settings shall be made in advance:

OR ...................................................................

1) The automatic PO indicator shall be flagged in both material master data (purchasing view) and vendor master data.

2) The source list shall be maintained where the 'fixed' indicator is ticked.

Once PR is created via MRP running, the vendor is automatically defaulted in the 'fixed vendor' field of the 'Source of Supply' View at Item Details level.

In the event you would like to set up the periodical running of transaction ME59 in background, then in addition to the aforesaid settings, the following steps will also be taken:

1) Go to Transaction ME59, maintain the selection and save it as a variant.

2) Use Transaction SM36 to define a job and give it a name as Z_AUTO_PO.

3) Click button start condition and define when you want the program to run.

4) Click Steps. On the pop-up click ABAP program and then enter RM06BB20 as program name. Enter the name of your variant in field below. Save your step.
