Is there a way to search within IDocs using a purchase order number?

How do I search a sales order in IDoc based on the purchase order (PO) number? I am scanning each IDoc one by one using we02. Is there an easier way?

Depending on your release, you could write a program to go through table EDID4 (or similar), map the SDATA to your segment, and therefore search programmatically for the PO number. Use table EDIDC to limit the selection, or you'll have a very long running program.
