Explanation
Automatic conversion of purchase requisitions into purchase orders is a process that allows you to create purchase orders automatically from purchase requisitions without manual intervention. The prerequisites for this process are:
The Automatic Purchase Order indicator is set in the purchasing data of the business partner master record, which means that the vendor is authorized for automatic purchase order creation.
A source of supply containing valid conditions is assigned to the purchase requisition, which means that there is an agreement or an outline agreement with the vendor that specifies the price and other terms for the material.
The Automatic Purchase Order indicator is set in the plant-specific purchasing data of the material master record, which means that the material is suitable for automatic purchase order creation.
