Conditions Copied from Last Purchase Order

While creating a Purchase Order, If Net Price of the order is found to be zero with the calculation schema, System checks data in the last purchase orders and copies values from the last PO. 

The following conditions must be met before system copies price from the previous purchase order 

1. An Info record exists for the Vendor, Material Combination at the purchase org/ plant. 
2. The last document is not a request for quotation.
3. The calculation schema of the last document is the same as the schema for the Purchase Order being created
4. Net Price of the purchase order is zero based on the calculation schema  

A copy function is executed to copy values from the last document. No checks are made for requirements for the calculation schema.

As a exception to the above, system does not copy the condition records of the subsequent settlement (condition class "C"); instead, they are always determined again to ensure that the condition records are consistent with the field contents 

The copy control can be disabled at user level by maintained EVO parameter as described in SAP Note# 675523

Exchange Rate Based On Document Date for LIV Invoices

For LIV Invoices posted using MIRO transaction the exchange rate defaults based on the posting date, As there is no provision to change the translation date on the MIRO screen, it cannot be substituted with document date.


In order to post all invoices based on exchange rate at the document date instead of the exchange rate at the invoice date, the BADI FI_TRANS_DATE_DERIVE needs to be implemented according to the SAP Note #574583


Detailed steps to implement this BADI are :

1. Go to transaction SE18, enter implementation name as "FI_TRANS_DATE_DERIVE"  and click "Display"
2. Click Menu option, "Implementation" > "Create"
3. Enter an implementation name, for example "Z_BADI_FI_TRANS_DATE_DERIVE"
4. Add country codes where document date is required as translation date in "Attributes" tab
5. Go to "Interface" tab
6. Double click on "DERIVE_WWERT"
7. Activate the code
8. Go back to the previous screen and activate the implementation

The SAP note#574583 shows relevance only upto ECC 6.0, but it can be implemented with ECC 6.04 also.
