Recently,I’m developing a srm system based on JAVA which has to integrate with SAP MM module.In the design of SRM,purchase order status is one of the most important element we should consider about.
In SAP,there is also data exists for purchase order status.We can view it through ME23N status tab.
or view it by list through ME2L
In Program MM06EFST method get_status_header,the system calculates
the data shown above and determines the icon display on ME23N status tab.
If you want to get the data in your own program just refer the function module ME_READ_HISTORY,this function module can help us get the quantity Ordered,Delivered, Still to delv,Invoiced.For more detail,please test
the function module.
If we consider about purchase order item history,we also can calculate the data based on material document related with purchase order,but it’s a little complicated.
The SAP product names also make users confused. Even senior consultants sometimes might use the obsolete names. When we browser the SCN, help portal, service marketplace, these confused names always make the reader frustrated and wanna know what the hell is going on?
I collected the explanation from internet and summarized them in this post. I hope this can help you to find the correct term to use.

I’m major in software engineering and we have had a course for it. But I had no idea when the professor tried to explain the importance and concept of software engineering. It sounded like the bullshit. I preferred to write code in front of my desk with music on.
After graduating from university, I found a job in ERP field as a technical consultant for SAP projects. SAP provides ASAP methodology for all types of SAP projects – implementation, migration, upgrade. From developer perspective, the whole project process is that we received FDS, wrote TDS, coded as per TDS, unit test and code review. I didn’t start to think about the software engineering until a recent project.
This project isn’t based on the existing SAP business products. It aims to build a software on the top of SAP NetWeaver from scratch. In the beginning, the whole team try to use the traditional SAP implementation methodology to implement this project, but I found some issues comes out during the first phase of this project.
