For External Service execution based on a Sales Order you need to create a Purchase Order to the Supplier manually and account the respective Purchase Order item to the respective Sales Order item, here ABC-XX.

You need to create a goods receipt for the Purchase Order as well as a Service Confirmation from the Sales Order.*

*Ensure that the costs maintained for the Sales Order/Service Confirmation item equal the expense amount ordered in the Purchase Order.
