Hello everyone,
Is there a way to add MRP controller number for example 208 to the actual purchase order number generated during PO creation? It does not need to be the whole MRP controller number, only last digit can be used for example placed at the very end of PO number, or MRP controller initials can be used if letters are allowed.
Thanks for any help.
Request clarification before answering.
I would not recommend adding the MRP Controller as PO Number using any method -- what if you have different materials with different MRP controllers all belong to the same vendor ?-- Here my reasons not to do it
I do not understand the value or effort you will get into doing this enhancement instead of thinking standard solution.
1. You will be confusing 3 numbers on the PO screen-- PO numbers are important for Vendor's point of view
2. If you doing it for any reporting reason -- or any identification reason -- then you easily use material value and PO EKPO with MARC
3. if MRP controllers are so important for you --why not you have same number as purchasing group and use that on material master -- then when PO get created you can use PO header data for easy identification

The reason I would like to add identification of MRP controller to the PO number itself is that when we recieve PO confirmations from vendors it arrives to our group email adress, the PO number is visible right away in the email without going into PDF/excel confirmation to find out the material group or specific MRP controller who made the PO initially.
Therefore multiple controllers don't have to interact with the confirmation, because they know it is not theirs.
EDI would be solution, but we will not have it for a while.
