3307649 - Automatic creation of Purchase Orders not considering STR/STO Purchase Requisitions

Symptom

When running the background job template 'Automatic Creation of Purchase Orders from Requisitions' 
via the APP Purchasing Scheduling Jobs - Advanced processing STR Purchase Requisitions. The job fails 
with errors like 'Item Category U not allowed with document type NB', 'Requisition could not be converted'   

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the App: Schedule Purchasing Jobs - Advanced
  2. Choose template template 'Automatic Creation of Purchase Orders from Requisitions' 
  3. Fill the selection criteria and Execute the job.
  4. Check the job log, noi purchase orders were created.

Cause

Missing Configuration.
During the background processing the system searches for a default PO type. If none is found, the standard purchase order type 'NB' is defaulted which is not compatible with the STR Requisition type UB or UD. 

Resolution

Configure your default STO Purchase Order type for the supplying plant and receiving plant combination via the configuration node
'Assign Document Type, One-Step Procedure, Underdelivery Tolerance' (SSCUI 103426).
