Use

When creating or changing quotations, scheduling agreements, contracts, and purchase orders, you can use the InfoUpdate field to specify that the info record is to be created or updated.

Activities

If this is the case, the system performs the following actions:

The order price history is updated even if the InfoUpdate indicator is not set.

The values of the InfoUpdate indicator vary according to the type of purchasing document in question.

In quotations, contracts, scheduling agreements, and in the conventional purchase order (transactions ME21, ME22, and ME23), the InfoUpdate indicator can have one of four different values:

' ' The info record is not updated.

'A' If an info record exists at plant level, it is updated. Otherwise an info record at purchasing organization level is updated.

'B' If plant conditions are allowed for the plant, an info record at plant level is updated.

'C' If plant conditions are not necessary for the plant, an info record at purchasing organization level is updated.

In the single-screen transactions for processing purchase orders (transactions ME21N, ME22N, and ME23N), the InfoUpdate indicator has only two possible values. Here it determines whether an info record is updated or newly created.

If the indicator is selected, the following cases are possible:

If just one info record exists (with or without a plant), the record is updated.

If no info record exists and "Plant condition requirement" has been specified in Customizing, an info record with a plant is created. Otherwise an info record without a plant is created.

If two info records exist, one record with a plant and one without a plant, the info record with the plant is updated.
