Automatic PO from PR from MRP for transfer between plants

[former_member223894]

Hi,

We want to use the automatic creation PO with tcode ME59. this scenario is clear when the purchase is from a supplier. but ¿this can be used also for transfer between plants?

• For example we don´t have info records for transfer this material to one plant to another and this is a requirement in automatic po
• The PO type is also different when transfering the materials between plants
• The PO does not relate a supplier in header, instead it has the plant code.

However I tried to execute the automatic creation of PO with ME59 and I obtain the error below

Thanks

Use ME59N,

But before using ME59N, you have to configure something, we know in ME59N, system will take default document type as NB automatically. (Check the sap note 924105, 114213, 994209)

You have to set the control T for the document type, so system will take the supplying plant instead of vendor.

Only then you can create automatic PO from ME59N.

I've tested that and I've done it successfully.

Hi Dev,

We actually use the NB docuemnt for purchasing natioanl materials, if I set as "T" it would affect this scenario.

¿Can I set the system to use the UB document which is the one use actually for tranfer the goods between plants?

There are many threads related to this topic. Default document type in ME59N.

You can find the answer by little searching SCN Search

Additionally check the sap note 994209.

Also check these note which I've referred in my previous comment.

Hi,

   Maintain the settings mentioned in the KBA: 1779854 - Error 06674 in ME59N for STO Purchase Orders and use the transaction ME59N instead of ME59

   Check the scenario again and revert back.

Hi AKTP, I have done and it helps to move forward in the scenario. Now the suystem is trying to do the transfer with NB document but I need to do it with UB document which is the one with the seetings for tranfer the goods.

Thanks

Hi Jorge

You need to specify the purchase order document type you require in configuration.  In SPRO you need to follow the path Materials Management --> Purchasing --> Purchase Order --> Set up Stock Transport Order --> Assign Document Type, One-Step Procedure, Underdelivery Tolerance

To use the UB document type your plants will need to be in the same company code.

Hi,

   Refer the note: 114213 - ME59: Determining the order document type which explains the system design. You can find the design for STO case also in the same note. Please check and maintain the settings as mentioned and test the scenario again. Revert back if its not solved.

You will need to mark your Z document type as T-Transfer in control to distinguish it as a stock transfer order. You will also need to mark the 'Trnsfr Vendor' tick to use any pricing agreement/contract that you have with the supplying plant to allow it to be automatically used.
