Question 1
A global consumer goods company uses third-party order processing for a specific product line. When a sales order is saved, a purchase requisition should be automatically generated. However, for a newly created sales document type (ZTP), this process is failing. The item category and schedule line category are confirmed to be correct.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
For the system to automatically generate a purchase requisition from a sales order, a crucial link is the assignment of the sales document's item category to the purchasing document type. This is done in customizing under Sales and Distribution -> Sales -> Sales Documents -> Schedule Lines -> Assign Schedule Line Categories. If the schedule line category is correct but the PR is not created, this assignment is the most likely missing configuration step. The other options are incorrect; transaction groups are not the primary control, the scenario states the item category is correct, and the 'Automatic PO' in the vendor master is for converting PRs to POs, not creating PRs from sales orders.
