WF10 Collective PO - manual Vendor selection

[former_member471275]

Hi Guys,

Two questions related to WF10 and Vendor selection logic:

1. Do you know what is the logic for automatic Vendor determination in WF10 in case you have more than one Inforecord and no Vendor is selected as a Regular Vendor?

2. What customizing is required to have the Vendor field editable on the worklist? In my case Vendor is determined by the system and the field is grayed out.

Hi Piotr,

1) WF10 is calling the same Source of Supply determination logic, like used in enjoy PO creation (ME_SEARCH_SOURCE_OF_SUPPLY). If there are more than one valid vendors eg. multiple info records, the first one is taken. Literally, for example having multiple info records for the article, the entry, which was first created on DB will be chosen. There is also no explicit user exit or BADI dedicated in Collective PO creation to overrule this. But during the standard SoS determination as indicated below there is such possibility (eg. EXIT_SAPLMEQR_001) that is available for the same usage actually.

2) I believe this depends on whether do you use seasonal or classic procurement when creating the CPO. In case of seasonal I found it is grayed out, while in classic I was able to overwrite the vendor even after being determined.

Best regards,

Thank you for quick reply

Reg1 - Yes, You confirmed what I found so far: first Info record in DB is taken into account.

Reg2 - How to control in customizing whether this is seasonal or classic procurement. This is what I am looking for.

Hi Piotr,

this is on the last tab of WF10 selection screen actually, you can choose which you want.
If you use S/4 HANA, the seasonal PO is not available anymore, Enjoy PO is the default.
