Question:
Hi,
I want to know how to identify different versions of a PO. e.g. I make a Purchase Order, release it and send it to a vendor.
Then this PO is changed, released and has to be resent to the supplier. The PO number remains the same. How to identify that this is the second version of this PO.

Answer:
If you click the button messages in ME23N then you will see all your messages created for this one PO. In your case you should see one with message type NEU and one with message type AEND for the changed PO.
Answer:
Hi
PO is released with the release strategy.If printout is taken then it is possible with finding the message type.
Another way if it needs to be known what changes are done, then it is possible to find the changes done at Header and item level by going thr menu path in Purchase order display or chane mode
Header - Statistics - changes
Item -Statistics - changes

Hi,
Thanks for the responses.
Is it possible to print the new version number (i.e. if the PO is changed once then lets say we call it version 2, if it is changed again then it is version 3 and so on), so that it can be sent to the vendor with due identification?

Answer:
I do not know if a version number is possible. But I think that the print date on the document can serve the same purpose
Answer:
Hi There,
This can be done via configuration.
In the PO output configuration, you can select which fields/information that are consider crucial to be communicated to the vendor.
So if you select which field and you can assigned create text and assign it to the field, so when someone change the field (for example delivery date) and you can trigger text "Delivery date change" or something like that.
Get your MM consultant to do that.

Answer:
Hi,
I was unable to locate the message type AEND. It does not appear in the drop downs. Is there any specific settings which I have to do for this?
And ergarding the specific configuration settings, can you please guide me how to go about it. I have to do it myself.
Regards.

Answer:
Have a look into IMG transaction M/34 and see if the message type AEND is there or not.
If there, then it is probably not in the message schema you use.
