Import Purchase Orders from SAP to EcoSys Tasks with Task Type of "Commitment".
The Purchase Order import is included within the Actuals and Commitments jobs. This works by creating Purchase Order objects in EcoSys for the Purchase Order Document Numbers (EBELN for Actuals and REFBN for Commitments) which exist on the line items for Actuals and Commitments.
The SAP Purchase Order issue Date field (NAST-DATVR) is populated in a second pass from the main Purchase Order import. If this field is not necessary based on business requirements, then it is recommended to skip this field by setting the IncludePOIssueDateField parameter to False (see Job Parameters below).
This is a new import which was not implemented in the legacy SAP Adapter.
Job Details
There is no dedicated Connect Job for the Purchase Order import since it runs within the Actuals and Commitments imports.
