Hi,

PO is a committed purchasing document,you can not create in as automatic PO from MRP directly.

You can create PR from MRP and then create auto PO from MRP created PR.

As you said, as you have contract and quota, then in PO taking vendor from that conditions(source).

PO can be created from PR or from contract or you can create direct PO.

Its business requirement need to be decided from which reference document PO to be created.

Its meaningless to say/having thought PO creation from MRP run as PO is committed document,by business no business owner will accept.

NOTE: For certain specific business, you may create auto PO from GR where that PO needed in invoice process as reference.

You can search in SDN for creation of auto PO from a PR.

Hi

to pick the correct vendor during MRP either you control via Source list or Quota arrangement and make it MRP relevant.

If you have more than one vendor for a material you can use quota arangement.

You said you have contract/scheduling agreement then you Maintain Source list using ME01 and generate the source of supply then fix one source of supply then system will pick the vendor as well as the contract automatically during MRP run.

Hope it helps

Hi

As you aware to create automatic PO you need prerequisites.

Vendor Master - Auto PO enabled

Material Master - Auto PO enable

Source of supply

Use Transaction ME59 to schedule it in backround with variants and run for specfic time after MRP is carried out, all the PR created in MRP whihc meets the prerequites will be converted to PO.

Hope it helps
