How To Create Purchase Order With Reference - Purchase

Purchase order with reference

Purchase orders can be created with reference to a purchase requisition, RFQ, quotation, another purchase order, contract, sales order etc. To reference a PO to a previous document you can use the appropriate function.
You can create a PO referencing a previous document in 2 ways
  1. Using ME58
  2. Using ME21N

Referencing through ME58

In our case if we want to create a PO for a purchase requisition, we can use the transaction code ME58.
I will demonstrate the process starting from ME58 as it calls the ME21N and you can see that actually we create a PO in ME21N anyway.
Step 1)
  1. Enter t-code ME58.
  2. Choose Vendor and purchasing organization and
  3. Select document types.
  4. Execute.
