In SAP MM, the ME25 transaction code is used to create a purchase order when the vendor is unknown. This scenario typically occurs when a material is required urgently, or when there is no pre-existing relationship with a specific vendor. To begin the process, navigate to the ME25 transaction code in the SAP Easy Access Menu. Enter the necessary details such as the purchasing organization, the company code, and the document type for the purchase order. It is essential to input accurate information to ensure that the purchasing process runs smoothly.

Once you have entered the required details in the ME25 transaction, you can proceed to add items to the purchase order. Input the material number, quantity, and any other relevant information for each item that needs to be procured. You can also specify the delivery date and the account assignment details if necessary. Review the information entered carefully to avoid any errors that may delay the procurement process. After verifying the details, save the purchase order to generate a unique document number that can be used for tracking and reference purposes.

Creating a purchase order using the ME25 transaction in SAP MM streamlines the procurement process by enabling organizations to quickly order materials from new or unfamiliar vendors. By following the steps outlined in this lesson, users can effectively navigate the ME25 transaction to generate purchase orders efficiently. This functionality ensures that businesses can meet their material requirements promptly, even in situations where the vendor is unknown at the time of purchase order creation.
