vendor material number in purchase order

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have the following problem :

When i create a purchase order (transaction ME21N), the vendor material number (field IDNLF) will be suggested from the purchasing info record.

It isn't the case, the vendor material number is empty.

I don't understand why.

Do you have an idea ?

Thank you

info records are not purchase order document type specific, info records are related to PO items

the key fields are vendor, material, purchasing org, plant, info record category.

if this info is available in your PO and equals the info record, then the values are taken over.

Hence check those values, maybe add some evidence with screenshots from info record and PO.

Can it be that you reference a contract too? in that case the info from contract has precedence over the info record, which means you have to check if the vendor material number is maintained in the contract.

Hi,

I agree with you about the fact that info records are related to PO items.

In the purchase order (type Zxxx), the purchasing info record is well recovered and the vendor material number should be fill. But it is empty.

I test with a standard purchase order and it works, the vendor material number appears.

I don't understand where is the problem.

Unfortunately we have no glass bowl  and no access to your system.

to give you the best help, you have to explain more details. what is the reason for a Z document type, from which other document type was it copied? are there any exits or BAdIs that may control some fields?

Have your tests been under the same conditions? e..g. same number of items in the PO, same item category, account assignment, same user...

Are other fields taken over from the info record?

If it works for standard purchase order, then it works in general.

I found where is the problem, an exit has been implemented for this specific purchase order.

Thanks for you help.

An exit cannot be for specific PO , it can be active for specific function , values or for any wrong posting.

Hello,

Vendor Material Number;  Material number used by the vendor, Usually we saw this field in Info records.

We can see the same field in ME21N in Material data tab ( Item level of the PO), If Vendor and Material combination have correct info record and if suppose user has maintained  Vendor Material number field,  then while creation of PO for the combination of particular material and vendor system will get Inforecord price in PO and  system will populated Vendor Material number in Material data tab of the PO in item level.

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

Vendor Material number is required to identify the material number maintained in vendors ERP. it will appear in you PO if you maintain vendor and material combination info record in T-Code:ME11

Hi,

I created a purchasing info record for the combination material/vendor and inside the vendor material number has been filled .

But it isn't appear in the purchase order.

I forgot to mention that is specific purchase order (Zxxx).

Thanks.

Please compare the info record plant and purchase organization to PO..
