Question:
When converting MRP Requisitions to purchase Orders, when you go to the create Po screen ME21N, the [b]Today's Purchase Orders [/b]option has disapeared.
Looking at SAP Note 329437 point 9. this gives some indication that is to do with the Document overview set up. I have played around with this but cannot get it to work.
Any ideas anyone???

Answer:
Hi MJT
You need to set the time frame for displaying the My docs in document overview in personal settings.
Check in personal settings "Basic setting" selection timeframe for mydocs.
select it as today & save it.
Now in document overview selct the varient My Purchase orders.
Change the layout to select the fields of your choice in document overview.
Thanx

Answer:
I am on about "Today's Purchase Orders" not "My Purchase Orders"
This is a standard thing that appears in the document overview when converting Req's to Po's via MRP collective display. This enables users to build up a PO over the day regardless who created the original PO, but is related to the same vendor.
However it is missing???
anyone know anything.

Answer:
You have to create a variant for the Purchase order selection in the document overview.
Go ME21N, open document overview, select purchase orders.
A selection screen for purchasing documents opens.
Click save.
Enter a name and a description of your choice.
flag the boxes beneath L for fields vendor and document date.
click button selection variables.
Next screen shows the 2 variable fields.
Click the traffic light in colomn B for vendor, it should change to green and the empty field below vendor should dissapear.
Now enter TODAY as variable for document date. (you can select the value as well from F4 list). The green light for document date should stay under T colomn.
click save.
Pop appears telling you that variables are not supplied with values. Save anyway.
Click yes on the popup.
Save the variant.
Now the vendor field is populated with the vendor number entered in ME21N and the date field is calculated with todays date.
Answer:
Thank you for your reply, however I am not looking to set up a new variant for Today's PO's.
When you create PO's from requisitions via MRP the Default standard SAP variant "Convert purchase requisitions" is used this shows the requisition from the MRP element and below it "Today's purchase orders" created for that vendor. This is so the user can select this PO shown here and add to it over the day.
It has disapeared how do I get it back.
Answer:
Hi, I am not sure what SAP really meant here.
I Think they only want to say that you can display todays documents in the overview. You are able to drag and drop from the document overview into the shopping cart. And then add new items with reference to open requisition coming from the document overview again.
In this OSS note they refer to other OSS notes, one is an ME21N FAQ note 491789, and in there is again a reference to OSS note 327462 which clearly says:
When you create a purchase order with the new EnjoySAP Purchase Order Transaction ME21N and there is already a purchase order of the same day for the same vendor, no enhancement of the existing purchase order is provided on the dialog box (SAPMM06E0510).
Cause and prerequisites
The function is not provided in the new EnjoySAP Purchase Order Transaction. Reasons: you can still change parameters which influence the enhancement proposal (vendor, purchasing group ..). You may have entered (many) items up to now. If you decide for the enhancement of the existing purchase order, you must transfer them to the existing purchase order. However, this does not work.
You are supported in Transaction ME57: if the purchase requisitions are converted into purchase orders, they are put into the document overview. In addition, you can display your current purchase orders which you can enhance.
Solution
None
