Creation of sales order from PO through idoc

[Pamela79]

Hello,

We want to map the following back to back sales order scenario all in one sap system.

Company A will create a STO manually and then an idoc will be trigerred through output type and an ORDERS idoc will go to company B and create a sales order in company B. I have identified the following config/master data settings.

1) creation of output type for STO .
2) creation of partner profile for company B as vendor partner type.
3) attaching outbound process code ME10 to company B partner profile as in step 2 above to trigger ORDERS idoc through standard FM IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDERS.

4) Now I will also create a partner profile for company A as partner type "customer "

5) I will attach inbound process code ORDE to company A partner profile as in step 4 so that sales order is trigerred through FN IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS.


But my question is once the outbound " ORDERS" idoc is created through PO, how will the sales order be created. I mean when once outbound " ORDERS" is posted, how is the inbound process code " ORDE" is activated to create sales order ?

regards

Pamela

The normal process is that the intercompany STO (truly an STO, not simply a purchase order) will create the requirement on the supplying company. There is no need for a sales order. Then the intercompany invoicing is carried out with standard EDI. May I ask why you want to create a sales order?
