APO VMI Sales Order - Populate PO Date in ECC

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

We have implemented the VMI functionality in APO. We also Maintain Customer PO Ranges in customizing so that Purchase Order Number is populated in the TLB VMI-Sales Order and subsequently visible in the Customer PO field VBAK-

BSTKD of the Sales Order Header after the Sales Order is transferred to ECC.

My question is this: What is the best way at the time the Order is auto-created in ECC to also populate the PO Date field VBAK-BSTDK with Current Date (ie Order Create Date)?

Do we need to use BAPI ?

BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2

If s can anyone advise syntax?

Thanks for any help?
