Automatic Purchase Order Creation

[vineet_dhawan]

Dear All,

I would like to test the scenario of automatic creation of PO. I have already checked the Auto PO indicator in material master and vendor master record. Info Record and Source list also exist. In MRP view i have maintained manual reorder point planning.

When I run the MD02, system creates the Pur. Req. but automatic PO generation doesn't exist. Please let me know what else I need to check or there is any more setting, which I have to do.

Thanks and Regards,

Dear Vineet,

In SAP, the automatic Purchase Order(PO) creation is possible via ME59- which via Purchase Requisitions. I would like to remind you, the automatic PO creation is possible only if Purchase requisition exists with required pre-requisites.

Not possible to create the PO from Requirements. I mean to say not possible thru MRP. Where MRP is a requirement planning, order proposal. Order placement is an another process, which can be automated thru ME59- when PR exists.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

System won't create auto PO with its own. You need to process the PR through ME59N
