Answer:
I set the automatic PO flag for movement type under Goods Receipt - Automatic PO in IMG.
I try to use tcode MIGO to create automatic PO upon Goods Receipt there come the problem which said that vendor must be entered.
If I use tcode MB01 there is no problem
Thanks

Answer:
Hi,
If you are using Transaction MIGO, then you should first try to use with movement type 501 where the system will only request for the vendor number. After your entry of related information, then go to the GR Item Details and change the movement type from 501 into 101 (or other movement type for which the 'Automatic PO' indicator has been activated in Transaction OMJJ). Check it out.
Cheers,
HT

Hi HT ,
i activated auto po creation for movement type 501 ( GR w/o PO ) thru omjj as well as in IMG for goods receipt, and did a GR for a combination of material and vendor. The GR happened correctly and was saved . but when i check the ME2L report , i cannot find any purchase order.
where can i find the automatically created purchase order for the the grt that i had created .
thanks

Hi,

Go back to your MIGO Transaction (or use MB03 Transaction) and then select your GR Material Document, then click on 'Accounting Document'. When you are in the 'Document Overview' of your Accounting Document, move your cursor to your GR/IR Clearning Account (or stock account BSX), then click on 'Details' icon (F2) (the first one from the left). The related PO number will be found in the 'Purchasing Document field.
Cheers,
HT

Hi HT ,
i just now did as you said . to be more precise there were 2 accounts on the account document overview screen. i clicked on the item no 1 with posting key 89 and GL acount 300000 (inventory - raw material) it shows no details , but when i clicked on posting key 91 with gl account 400020 (rm consumption account) , it showed me more details . but the PO document number field is blank .
One more detail i missed out , after i made the MIGO i did not get any extra message of the PO getting created . it just saved the Gr document number .
when i did the same thru Mb01 , the system just gave a message on initial entry of movement type 501 that an automatic po will be created . again when i saved in MB01 , there was no message in the screen for any PO creation , it just saved GR document .
am i doing some thing wron g . i still do not understand how will a PO get created , i mean how does the system identify what vendor/rate to pick if we have more than one vendor for the same material ?
thanks

Answer:
Hi,
I would wonder if you have correctly set up your movement type in Transaction OMJJ. Besides, the brief clarification of the posting lines in your accounting document seems weird to me as you have never had any case of stock receipt posting where the cost allocation hits both stock account (BSX) and Consumption Account (which is only for the case of account assigned PO where the GBB/VBR account is taken into consideration). If you don't mind, please send your screen shot of what you have set in your config (with your movement type) as well as the problematic GR document (including the accounting document). In fact, when using MIGO transaction, it is different from MB01 whereupon the information message has popped up (after pressing 'enter') indicating that the PO is to be created automatically.
Cheers
HT

Hi HT ,
I have sent you an email at your hotmail account .
Please go thru the same and let me know if there is any thing wrong with my setting.
by the way during GR using MIGO , the system showed an error for missing entry in posting key GBB/ZOB . i added this entry for the valuation class of that material, and then the error went off .
Thanks
