Symptom
The 'Enable Automatic Creation of PO from Replicated Central PR' has been enabled cloud in solution, but a Purchase Order is not being created automatically when saving a Purchase Requisition.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition All versions
Reproducing the Issue
- Enable the 'automatic creation of Purchase Order' in customising -> App Manage your solution > configure your solution > "Enable Automatic Creation of PO from Replicated Central PR"
- Activate the flag 'Enable Automatic Creation'
- Open APP 'Create Purchase Requisition' create and save a Purchase Requisition.
- No Purchase Order is created automatically.
Cause
A direct automatic creation of a purchase order from a Purchase requisition is only possible in the S/4 HANA HUB scenario. In regular procurement, Purchase Orders can only be created 'automatically' in a separate step.
Resolution
The pre-requisites of the regular procurement functionality are:
1) In the Supplier master record the 'Automatic Purchase Order' field (LFM1-KZAUT) must be set
2) In the Material master record the 'Autom.po' field (MARC-KAUTB) must be set.
3) A valid source of supply must be assigned in the Purchase Requisition, a contract, an Info Record or a valid fixed Supplier.
It will then be possible to generate Purchase Orders from purchase Requisitions in the cloud via APP 'Schedule Purchasing Jobs - Advanced'
Note: The system carries out a check on the quantity in the reference Purchase Requisition. If there is no open quantity in the Purchase Requisition
the document will not be selected. Likewise, in a case where a reference Purchase Requisition has no quantity maintained, 'for example with Enhanced Limits'
this Purchase Requisition cannot be converted to a Purchase Order automatically in the background
