"Creating many PO's using same Purchasing Requisition"

Hi Gurus,

How do one configure the system that when once a Purchase Requistion has been used to create a PO, u dont use it anymore, unless u delete the order i know it will be opened for use again, i know when i was still working at Transnet they had it that way. Now here you can create 2PO using one Purchase Requisition.

Secondly, how do you configure the system that it gives you an Error message if you want to create a Standard PO using a Purchase Requisition of Document Type PA(Pojects). Currently it just gives a warning and some people just bypass that warning and eventually we have a wrong PO Number.

I put all my TRUST to The Forum for this Problems.

Regards

Charles

Hi,

You just need to set the error message to an E for error instead of a W for warning.

It is message (version 00) 06 076

(not 050) Now corrected (thanks RiTiG)

Set it in SPRO

MM > Purchasing > Environment data > Define attributes of system messages

HI,

As for your second problem,

This is controlled by the config of PO document types. Against eeach PO document type you specify the PR document types (and item categories)) that can be converted into this document type (and item category)

Just make sure that the only entries in the config of the PO document type are the ones that you want to be allowed. (On the "link P req to document type settings on the PO doc type config)

So in your case go to config of PO doc types and select the standard PO doc type (NB?). Then click on the P req link and make sure that you remove the PA req types from the table.

Hi Steve,

If i am not wrong, is the Message no is 00-06-076 or 00-06-050.

Please confirm.

Hi RiTiG,

You are not wrong,

the 076 message is the one that I should have quoted.

The 050 one stops Deleted requisitions from being used (and also should be set to an E).

Thank you so much for correcting me on this, it will save some confusion.

Hi Respected Steve,

With a Great difficulty, i had got the Book " Invoice Verification " ( A treasury for MM consultants ) written by you and it is really excellent to expertise our Skills in IR.

I had seen the author profile and really surprised that i am doing my conversations with such a great person, and i am very much thankful for this forum to give this opportunity.

Also i am trying to get your one more book " SAP - A study of minefield ".

You can also quote some other books which have been written by you.

Sir, To be frank " YOU ARE MY ROLE MODEL " in this field.

Regards,

Hi RiTiG,

Thank you for the kind words, they are always welcome especially from other people that I respect such as yourself.

Thank you for buying a copy of my book, I have heard that it is not easy to get hold of books such as this where you are (I have never found out why though?)

As for my other book, it is called "SAP - A Map of the minefield" and if you liked the Invoice Veriifcation book then I beleive that you will enjoy this one even more. It has no screen shots, but it does cover a broad range of information about getting the most out of SAP and it has many sections (most in fact) that are some of the tricky parts of MM in full detail.

I am not a great person (but thank you for that), I am just a person who has had chance to dig deep into the SAP functionality and see how great the system can be if used correctly, and I enjoy helping others to find out just how good the system can be also.

Once again thank you for making my day with your comments, I wish you good luck, good health and a happy life.
