Creation indicator for requisition and feeder
Creating a requisition from a feeder
Purchase requisitions that are generated automatically from the feeder within the workflow using the function module BAPI_PR_CREATE are now assigned the creation indicator "D" (direct procurement). This makes it possible to differentiate them in subsequent reporting from manually created requisitions that have the creation indicator "R" (real-time [manual]).
SAP Note 1777106 must be implemented for this to work. The SAP Note is implemented automatically with certain Support Packages (for example, SAPKH60023). The ability to process the creation indicator is checked beforehand using method /WMD/CL_XF_PU_UTIL → IS_PR_CREATE_IND_VALID. If the prerequisites are not fulfilled, the creation indicator will remain empty. For more information, see the source code of the method.
Creating a purchase order from a purchase requisition
Purchase orders that are generated automatically from a requisition within the workflow using the function module BAPI_PO_CREATE1 are now assigned the status indicator "I" (purchase order from BAPI). As a result, in the subsequent reporting, they can be differentiated from manually created purchase orders that are assigned the status indicator "9" (Enjoy purchase order).
