 Creation of Purchase Requisitions and Purchase Orders from a Template

Use

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.

Prerequisites

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 Note

When you copy a user, the user-specific templates of the user you are copying are copied to the new user master record.

End of the note.

Features

You can create, reuse, and delete public templates and user-specific templates.

Activities

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.
