Hi Bobby,

1. Is there any way we can set n number of item we purchase from this vendor it create automatic Purchase order?

-> Yes.Using Automatic PO functionality. Refer http://scn.sap.com/message/5402251

2. no one can buy material from this vendor without creating Purchase order.

->  If you remove setting for Automatic PO creation, ( which is nothing but default/standard process) no one can purchase material from this vendor without creating PO manually.

Hi,

I am not able to understand the requirement. please elaborate how can a material is purchased without creating a purchase order? It is possible only if the purchase is made manually and no record is entered in the system. Also, "No one can buy material from this vendor without creating PO." Please clarify.

I understand the fact that without creating PO no one can buy materials, but my current client are new to SAP and people work in procurement team as end user they purchase material by phone. When vendor sends materials there is no PO to match up with it ..so MIGO is done without PO. My client seeking solution to created automatic PO to this particular vendor but I told them if someone buy on phone there we dont have any control on them....
