Summary :
The SAP Note discusses the automatic generation of service orders starting from Release 4.6C, where the capability lacks documentation in release notes and online sources. It primarily involves the report RV54POCR, which handles the auto-generation of purchase orders, utilizing function modules like ME_CREATE_PO_HEADER and ME_CREATE_PO_ITEM. Customizing settings in the shipment cost item category allow users to determine if and when a purchase event automatically triggers, offering various validity durations. Detailed information is provided about customization options, default values, and data transfer intricacies from shipment cost documents to purchase orders, including different fields like currency, vendor, and invoicing party, among others.
