- Choose template template 'Automatic Creation of Purchase Orders from Requisitions'
- Fill the selection criteria and Execute the job.
- 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).
