PO creation from SRM

[Former Member]

Dear all,

Once the Vendor is found for SC in SRM, there is a possibility to create Purchase Order in back-end SAP ECC. BAPI_PO_CREATE1 is triggered, no PI/PO is used, just RFC.

I got requirement from a build team to highlight which fields from the set of fields from that BAPI_PO_CREATE1 are derived from Vendor Master, Material Master and directly from SRM, e.g. Payment terms from Vendor Master, Purchasing Group from Material Master and other fields that comes directly from SRM, e.g. Vendor No. Does it really needed? I am working on functional design but for SAP ECC site. Isn't it that standard BAPI_PO_CREATE1 is triggered and fill up standard fields in SAP, however the mapping must be done on SRM site which data from SRM should be input into fields of that BAPI so it creates correct PO in SAP. Is any mapping needed on SAP side? Thank you for any suggestons on that topic.

Hi,

For partner information, only vendor number itself will be replicated from SRM to ECC via BAPI_PO_CREATE1 without any other modification. I don't think it is necessary to transfer other master data of vendor since usually this vendor is existing in ECC side and already replicated to SRM side.

However if you want to replicate other kinds of partners, you may refer to the solution in KBA 2277195.
