SAP Note 28533 - Adoption of sales order texts in purchase req.s

Symptom:

Via Customizing in Purchasing, text types in the purchase requisition can be linked to texts in the sales order (Transaction OMFU). Although, in the case of a certain assignment (for example: material sales text -> item text), the indicators 'Adopt' and 'Display' are not selected - that is, it is intended that the text should really be copied - the text is not copied. (In contrast, the combination Adopt = 'X', Display = ' ' works; the text is displayed in the purchase requisition with status '*' and can be adopted.) The consequence of this is that the text does not appear in a purchase order which is created from the purchase requisition.

No item texts are copied from the sales order for purchase requisitions
created via the MRP run.

Cause and prerequisites

In Releases 2.1 and 2.2, for technical reasons, the direct adoption of text in purchase requisitions created from sales orders is not possible. This generally applies to all purchase requisitions created via the function modules of the function group EBNE (that is to say, also to requisitions created from production orders, networks, maintenance orders: however, the adoption of text is not offered in Customizing in these cases). In 3.0, the function of the function modules has been enhanced so that now a table with texts can also be transferred. orders is not yet ready. The adoption of text from customer orders was carried out in Release 3.1I and can be implemented per advance correction (Note 86228).

Item texts from sales orders are not copied to purchase requisitions created by MRP - for performance reasons. The restriction described in Note 85980 generally applies to item texts in purchase requisitions.

Solution

The Customizing setting described above (Adopt = 'X', Display = ' ') ensures that the text from the sales order is displayed in the purchase requisition, and also that it can be adopted. With the corresponding setting for the adoption of the texts into the purchase order, the text is also displayed in the PO (with status '*') that is created from the requisition. If the text is to be adopted automatically in the PO, the linkage of the text types (sales order -> PO) is to be set with Adopt = ' ' and "Display = ' '.
