Symptom
When creating a Purchase Order, the Document Overview shows “Request for Quotation (RFQ)” in Selection Criteria, but after selecting it there is no field to enter an RFQ number.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open app ME21N (Create Purchase Order).
- Choose Document Overview.
- In Selection Criteria, choose RFQ.
- Observe that there is no input field for RFQ or Supplier Quotation number.
Cause
Direct RFQ/Supplier Quotation input in the Purchase Order Document Overview is not supported in the current design, which is purchase requisition–centric (missing functionality).
Resolution
- In the current cloud environment this functionality is not available to create a PO from RFQ using ME21N App because Document Overview is a Purchase Requisition-Centric Design.
- In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition the Document Overview (Advanced PO screen) is primarily designed for Purchase Requisitions RFQs / Supplier Quotations (direct selection not supported).
- Even though “RFQ” appears in selection criteria but It does NOT provide direct input field for RFQ number.
- If you feel that the SAP S/4Hana public cloud customer base would benefit from an enhancement of these functionalities you can raise a feature request via http://influence.sap.com
