You can create purchase requisitions and purchase orders more quickly by using user-specific templates or public templates. Public templates are available to all users.
You can use templates in the following transactions:
Create Purchase Order
(ME21N) and
Change Purchase Order
(ME22N)
Create Purchase Requisition
(ME51N) and
Change Purchase Requisition
(ME52N)
To save and delete public templates that are available to all users, you need the appropriate authorizations (authorization object
Create/Change/Delete Public Templates
M_TEMPLATE).
Note
When you copy a user, the user-specific templates of the user you are copying are copied to the new user master record.
You can create, reuse, and delete public templates and user-specific templates.
In the transaction, choose the
Save As Template
or
Load from Template
pushbutton. You see a dialog box in which you can save, load, or delete templates.
When you save a template, you can define the template as a public template.
When you load a template, you can decide whether you want to copy header and item data to the new purchasing document, or only the item data.
