Knowledge Management

Question:
Hi Gurus,
We have a strange situation here . We're on SAP version 4.0B. In PIR for a specific Vendor material, The Valuation type has been maintained. The first time I create a PO for this Vendor / Material combination, the Valuation type is not copied in the PO. I have to insert it manually. Once I complete the Purchasing cycle for this Vendor / material and I create another order, the Valuation type starts getting copied onto PO from PIR.
As Result we face a problem, as we have a routine in place to copy the Valuation Type from PO into the Batch in GR. Hence for the very first transaction for a vendor / material, Batch will not be picked up in goods receipt unless entered manually in PO or GR.
Any help in resolving the above situation ASAP would be highly appreciated.
Regards
Joe
Answer:
If in IMG for purchase order history price has ticked then system will pucked up all teh relevent data from last po history.
If u created info record for material and vendor where u mention valuation type and price and oter parameter. during creation of purchase order ofr same vendor and material....sytem will pick price (net) and valuation type, under/over del tolernce from inforecord.
But during time of goods receipts for same po....in batch u have to mention batch....may be same as vaualtion type or diffrent batch no....let me know wheter material is alloed for batch management if what is number assignement like external or internal.
