In addition, the searched information

In actual business, there is often no order for the materials to be delivered or the order is not approved. According to the SAP standard process, the goods should be rejected. However, in actual business, these materials may be urgent for urgent procurement. If they are not processed in time, the production plan may be affected. In this special case, sap has a flexible processing method, that is, the order is automatically created by receiving the goods. It should be noted that this operation method is not recommended by SAP and should not be widely used in actual business.
The specific process is as follows:
1. The mobile Type 101 has been set to automatic order creation in the background. The procedure is as follows: Go to the IMG background, choose "material management"> "Total Amount Control"> "Goods receipt"> automatically create a purchase order. After you double-click it, mark the third item "automatically generated purchase order" of 101 gr receipt.
2. The factory preparing to adopt automatic order creation has been assigned to a standard procurement organization. Normally used SAP system should have been configured. If not, go to the IMG background, enterprise structure-> allocation-> Material Management-> assign standard procurement organization to the factory.
3. supplier master data has been set under the procurement organization to allow automatic creation of procurement orders. For example, in the "control data" column of the "purchase data" view of transaction xk03, the "automatically generated purchase order" is checked.
4. The factory that requires automatic order creation should be activated at the factory layer of the back-end supply list. The specific method is to go to IMG, choose "material management"> "procurement"> "supply list"> define the supply list requirement at the factory layer. After you double-click the configuration, check the "supply list" in the third column of the factory to be enabled.
5. The supply list of materials in the factory has been established. According to the actual test, as long as the supply list of materials can be established, the 4th items can be omitted.
6. The item master data has been set to allow automatic creation of purchase orders. For example, in the "procurement" view of transaction mm02, the "Automatic purchase order" is checked.
7. The corresponding material information record has been created and the price conditions are correct.

After completing the above settings, the system will automatically create a purchase order for you if you do not enter a purchase order when receiving the 101 message in mb01. The above test passed on SAP/R3 4.5b.
