PO's Automatically being generated upon SC Creation.

Former Member — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 20:49:08 GMT

SC in our scenario are generated automatically upon REQ transfer from ECC. Seemingly randomly PO are being generated by the system user that creates the SC. Does anyone have any ideas as to what would cause this to happen?

The POs are generated as held with no Vendor assigned.

I can obviously fix this with security by removing POC rights from the inbound channel user, but I'd still know what the root cause is.

Thanks,

learnt that PDP - Plan driven procurement

1. PR to SC created and SC ventured to cockpit for sourcing.

but

2. currently there are some Purchase request turned to shopping cart creates PO with HELD status.

give more details of the PO.

SPRO ---> DEFINE SOURCING

You need to check what is the existing configuration.

check the product category what type of settings there..which is related to PR-SC-PO

or any thing influence the BADI

You have determined if and when the system accepts requirements for sourcing (for example, only for items without a source of supply) in Customizing for SAP Supplier Relationship Management under SRM Server Sourcing Define Sourcing for Product Categories .

NOTE

If sourcing is not activated for a product category, the system creates incomplete purchase orders in SAP SRM. The purchase orders are incomplete because the source of supply is missing.

Hello,

Check if badi BBP_SRC_BADI is active.

This badi is an additional control to send shopping carts to sourcing cockpit, by setting the SOURCE_REL_IND flag.

Kind regards,
