Defining Purchase Order Types in SAP S/4 HANA for Intercompany Purchasing in Integration Hub

Defining Purchase Order Types in SAP S/4 HANA for Intercompany Purchasing in Integration Hub

Order types indicate how a customer transmits an order. When processing a sales document, SAP Integration Framework 2.0 enters the purchase order type into the item level of the sales order. 

You use the purchase order type to distinguish between the sales from local stock and sales from central stock scenario variants. 

SAP Integration Framework 2.0 uses the INT and EXT purchase order types as the default during transmission from SAP Business One to SAP S/4 HANA. 

SAP Integration Framework 2.0 copies the value to the reference outbound delivery. It also comes with the shipping notification message. 

Based on the EXT or INT value, the scenario distinguishes whether to create a draft goods receipt for the Sales from Local Stock scenario variant or a goods receipt for the Sales from Central Stock scenario variant. 

Define the possible order types.

Procedure

From the IMG menu, choose Sales and Distribution →Sales → Sales Documents →Sales Document Header → Define Purchase Order Types.
Choose New Entries, and in the New Entries: Overview of Added Entries window, do the following:
  1. To support the sales from central stock scenario variant, in the Pur. ord. Type field, enter the mandatory value EXT.

The sap.B1PO2S4SO scenario step transfers this value to the sales order item during sales order document processing.

In the shipping notification message processing, the SAP Business One document is created based on this value.

For the sales from central stock scenario variant, it is the goods receipt.

  1. In the Description field enter Extern. Delv. to Cus, for example.
  2. Save your entries.
  3. To support the sales from local stock scenario variant, in the Pur. ord. Type field, enter the mandatory value INT.

The sap.B1PO2S4SO scenario step transfers this value to the sales order item during sales order document processing.

In shipping notification message processing, the SAP Business One document is created based on this value.

For the sales from local stock scenario variant, it is the draft goods receipt.

  1. In the Description field enter Intern. Delv. to Sub, for example.
  2. Save your entries.
