GTIN/EAN in purchase requisitions

[former_member504446]

Dear gurus,

we would like to use GTINs and similar barcodes for our employees to specify the exact product they need in purchase requisitions without material master (!).

There is a field in POs for that (EKPO-EAN11), but it seems to be missing in EBAN. Is there any standard way to document the GTIN in any other field than a text?

Cheers

Hello Alicia,

We have exactly the same question in our organisation.

Did you already found a solution for it?

Thanks,

Hi Joost,

in fact, I opened a OSS ticket for this and got the reply that there is no such field in EBAN, but we could create a Z-field for the information and use a user exit to copy the contents into EKPO-EAN11.

Not quite satisfactory but at least now we now that there won't be enay help from SAP on this issue...

Hi Alicia,

Thanks for your answer.

Which user exit did you use to copy the EAN-code from the purchase requisition to a PO ?

Thanks again,

Joost

Hi Alicia,

We also made a change in the system but after copying the preq to a PO and assign a supplier to the PO, the EAN-code (copied from the preq) dissapears from the field EKPO-EAN11.

Can you inquire how you solved the problem (e.g. which user exit is used)?

Thanks,

Joost
