I think it had 2 methods:
1.create a PO manually
2.transfer Planned Purchase order to PO

I can think of 3 more:

3. generate from a purchase requisition
4. generate as a PO for sfc-subcontracting from manufacturing package.
5. generate PO from sales order in case of 'i don't know the exact term'.

You can also generate POs from the following :

Generate PO from a Purchase contract
Confirm and create PO from a Purchase Inquiry
Generate planned PO by project from a PRP order
Generate planned PO by executing MRP

Thanks for your replies.
In LN I see that there are around 20+ ways by which we can generate a PO.
I would be of help if a detailed document of the functionality(step wise)is provided.

I could manage to get the flows of generation of PO from some origins.
Would be of help if atleast PO generation from warehousing is explained...

PO generated in Warehousing is of Order Type "Purchase - Manual".

One way of generating PO from warehousing

Step 1 Maintain a Purchased item of Ordering System SIC and ordering method any from drop down box.
Step 2 Generate Order advice -whina3200m000
Step 3 Transfer purchase Order advice to Purchase Order-whina3212m000

6) copying from existing.
7) from generating order advice from warehousing package.
8) consignment payment is auto generated
9) did anyone mention from a rfq
10) purchase contract associated with a delivery schedule
