Re: Limit Document type in Purchase Order entry

Hi,

Why user will do mistake - you should design your Purchase Order Document Types and restrict "Allowed Item Category" for each Purchase Order Document Type.

You can define PO Document Type in following path:

SPRO  -> Materials Management  -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Define Document Types

&

Restrict  each Purchase Order Document Type by allowing item category in each process in "Allowed Item Category" segment

For example:

PO Document Type------------"Allowed Item Catagory"-----------------Result

NB----------------------------------------BLANK-------------------------------------Only use for material procurement

ZKNB------------------------------------ ONLY allow K---------------------------Only use fro Consignment

ZSTO-------------------------------------ONLY allow U---------------------------Only used for Stock Tran.Order

ZZUB-------------------------------------ONLY allow L----------------------------Only use for Subcontracting

Also,talk to Basis Consultant and with help of authorization,you can control Purchase Order creation based on Purchase Order Document Type.
