Purchasing: Creation of Purchase Orders with Unknown Vendor: Changing Document Type when Saving as Purchase Requisition

As of Release 3.0, when creating POs with unknown vendor, you can subsequently change the document type you started with if you wish to save certain items as a requisition.

Example

Items that cannot be saved as a PO because they are subject to a release (approval) procedure, for example, are to be saved as purchase requisitions so that already-entered data is not lost. If you have defined different document types for requisitions than those you defined for purchase orders, you are now able to change the document type using a new dialog box. This box only appears if you have maintained your user settings accordingly.

Change system parameters in customizing

If desired, you can activate the dialog box for changing the document type in the default data.
