Check and copy existing document types for purchase orders and display the admissible item categories for each purchase order type.

The SAP system manages purchase orders as documents. You can create your own purchase order types to enable the purchasers to group the purchase orders according to your company's requirements.

In this configuration step, you can:

• Check and copy existing purchase order types

When copying document types, please note that only the following fields are editable:

• Type – New entries must start with the prefix Z*

• Document Type Description

• Field Selection*

• Display the purchase order item categories that are available for each purchase order type

You can use the customer-defined document types for purchase orders in the following applications:

• Create Purchase Order – Advanced

• Manage Purchase Orders *

You can also use the customer-defined document types for purchase orders in the followingOData service:

• API_PURCHASEORDER_PROCESS_SRV_0001*

*Please note:

In the Manage Purchase Orders app and in the OData service, you can use any customer-defined purchase order types (for example, ZNB1) that have been copied with all dependent entries from document typeNB (= standard purchase order): that is, also with the field selection key NBF assigned by default.

SAP recommends that you accept the standard assignments of field selection keys to document types even when creating custom purchase order types to use them in the Create Purchase Order – Advanced app.

How to use the purchase order type for authorization check

The Maintain Business Roles app allows you as an administrator to define custom purchaser roles that are restricted to specific document types: Use restriction Purchasing Document Type (BSART) assigned, for example, to business catalog SAP_MM_BC_PO_PROCESS_PC.

How to search for purchase orders assigned to custom document types

Using the My Purchasing Document Items app, a purchaser can filter the list of purchase orders by Order Type and restrict the search to a specific purchase order type: for example, a customer-created type.

Translation

The standard design of the self-service UI does not support translation. Change the logon language on the logon page to have the self-service UI available in another language.

In case the required language does not exist in the logon language list, you can add the language in the browser settings. Choose "Offer to translate pages in this language".

Right click the page you want to translate and select "Translate to XXX"
