Question

Creating material with Automatic PO

SAP, MySAP, mySAP Supplier Relationship Management, R/3, SAP development

I need to create purchase requisition from sales order. In the material master, it is required that 'Automatic PO' be checked, right ? If this is checked and the material is used for regular purchase order (no requisition), would the material be applicable to both scenario ? I do not use MRP. On version 46B.
Any comments, pls ? Thank you in advance.

It is not necessary to check the "Automatic PO" in the material master. The settings you're looking for are in the configuration of the schedule line category for the sales document item. In the schedule line config, you can assign an "order type" which is basically the purchase requisition document type that will be created from the sales order schedule line quantity.
