Bapi_po_create1 Order unit cannot be used

Hello everyone,
I'm using the BAPI_PO_CREATE1 to create a purchase order, but it's giving me the following error:
"Order unit MGW cannot be used", i'm using a material with the unit MGW defined in MM02.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Fábio Galvã

Thanks for all the replies,
I've given points to all the helpfull replies.
I've managed to create the PO with the unit I wanted, MGW, butt it only placed the unit in 'Order Price Unit (Purchasing)' and placed UN on 'Purchase Order Unit of Measure'. My requirement is to create a PO with MGW on both fields.
Is there any other field I need to fill so that the BAPI creates a PO like I need?
Thank you,
Fábio Galvã

Order unit cannot be used

Hi Gurus,
Our requirement is to used the order unit.. we have previous purchase order using the base unit of material and then i update the material indicating required order unit. When we create the Purchase Order some material did not hook the order unit for example base unit= EA(each) and order unit=REA(ream) in the PO EA reflect instead of REA
and i want the order unit will be in the purchase order i try to change but the message pop-up "Order unit REA cannot be used"
what will i do? I'm confuse why other material it's ok in order unit and some why did catch the order unit?
hoping to your possible solution..
Thanks,
Marina

Hi Velu,
here the informartion regarding the message:
Order unit REA cannot be used
Message no. ME898
Diagnosis
Unit REA is not intented as an order unit.
System Response
The system checks whether the order unit you entered is allowed for this purchase order by comparing the order unit you entered with the order unit that the system determined.
The system checks the potential sources of the order unit in the given sequence. If a source is not available (if the purchase order is not referenced to a preceding document, for example) then the system checks the next possible source (such as a purchase requisition):
1. If you create a purchase order with reference to a preceding document (purchase order, contract or request for quotation), the system copies the order unit from the preceding document.
The Var. OUn (Variable order unit) indicator must not be selected in the purchasing info record.
2. If you create a purchase order with reference to a purchase requisition and the Var. OUn indicator is selected in the purchasing info record, the system copies the order unit from the purchase requisition.
In the Enjoy purchase requisition (ME51N), you can maintain the order unit on the item detail screen on the Source of supply tab. In the normal purchase requisition (ME51), you can maintain the order unit on the item details screen.
3. When the purchasing info record for the combination of vendor and material exists, the system copies the order unit from the purchasing info record.
4. If you create a purchase order with reference to a purchase requisition and the Var. OUn is not selected in the purchasing info record, the system copies the order unit from the purchase requisition.
5. If you create a purchase order with reference to a purchase requisition and there is no existing purchase info record for the combination of vendor and material, then the system copies the unit of measure from the purchase requisition item in the item overview.
6. If you create a normal purchase order, the system copies the order unit from the material master.
7. When you create a stock transport order, the system copies the unit of measure from the material master.
8. If the order unit and the unit of measure were not defined in the material master, the system copies the material's base unit of measure.
9. If you create a service item, the system copies the default unit of measure.
You can define the default unit of measure in Customizing for External Services Management under Source Determination and Default Values -> for Client.
Note
If the Var. OUn indicator is selected in the purchasing info record or in the material master (if no purchasing info records exist), it means that the system can use any unit of measure that has been defined in the material master.
Procedure
1. Check the relevant documents and master records (contract or purchasing info records).
2. Select the Var. OUn in the purchasing info record or in the material master, if necessary.

Legal controll error is sales order - license cannot be used

Hi Team,
The sales order has Legal Control: Issue Error, due to this we are unable to deliver the goods. the below message found in the Log details:
Access object: License Master
Key (license nubmer): xxxxx
Validity period not long enough
Requested delivery date for item: 02/20/2012
End of validity period of license: 1231/2011
License cannot be used
The license has the period Valid From 01-01-2011 To 31-12-2011, can this be modified? please advise.
we tried to extend the validity of license but it is not allowing. can anyone give some inputs on this error.
Thanks,
Rajam

Hi Abir,
In my situation, the sales order already creted in Dec 2011 and has delivery dates in Jan 2012. And the SO has GTS error and unable create delivery, business user releasing the SO manually by going to VX22N for emergency deliveries. but we need permanent solution.
the license is created under License type NLR (no license required). i dont think, user will accept for creating a new license for this as it is using for couple of years. we are trying to extend the validity of license by going to VX02N but valid From and To fields are greyed out. we also checked the Accepted and Extended fields in Status Tab by giving the future dates but Valid From and To dates are not changed.
Please advise...
Thanks in advance.

ESOA: "Lean Order functionality cannot be used?" -- RESOLVED!!

Hello SAP Gurus,
Problem: While the sales orders perfectly get created using "eSOA: ECC_SALESORDER009QR problems.
Any comments on any part of this message -- hints/feedback on tracing/debugging, no matter how short is the suggestion, would be appreciated!

Hi Fakher,
I hada look at your problem the other day when you first raised the issue. I investigated it for nearly an hour but put it aside then because I got really more and more angry with it.
So, I can't give you any hint but nevertheless decided to drop a short note. I fully agree with your remarks.
I believe that though SAP in the high ranks rightfully embarked for the right vision towards the SOA paradigm, those who design actual Enterprise Services do it kind of an old-fashioned EAI-way. Maybe the interprete 'Enterprise' in ESOA as 'Intra-Enterprise only'.
What I came across was a paragraph in the ECC_SALESORDERCRTRC (what should a non-SAP service consumer think of that service reading that name? will he/she ever be able to memorize that?) which stated something like
Following parameters MUST NOT be supplied any value
followed by a list of input parameters of the service. What are such parameters good for??
The other day I came across another Enterprise Service which contained a number of completely cryptic parameters. After some searching I learnt that this were (patented) global data types which you could only understand if you got hold of some several pages long word documents which were at the time only available SAP internally although the services have long been published then. I think they're still kept secret, atl east I have never seen one or seen a reference to it.
Did you notice that the description of ECC_SALESORDERCRTRC says that it is deprecated and another service should be used instead but it doesn't tell which one?
I could continue ranting another few hours on this topic but as I found out no one of SAP joins a discussion on this.
So I can only conclude that Enterprise Services are not meant to be used by any third party service consumer, at least at the moment..
One last thing. Have you ever seen an enumeration in an Enterprise Service's WSDL? For a long time I thought they have just forgotten to implement it in their current SOAP runtime implementation. I mean, they have a great DDIC, domain values and stuff, they have an inside-out webservice generation wizard but they do not create XSD enumeration restrictions? Why? could it be that they do that on purpose? To make it as difficult as possible for a non-SAP service consumer to understand theservice and auto-generate useful proxies? I wish I would know.
Concerning the ticket stuff (aka bug reporting tool): Ironically as a third-party service consumer you can't file a CSN ticket no matter how broken the service is. You have to find a SAP customer to file it for you (probably the one whose actual service you want to consume). If you've found bug reporting proxy customer he'll know how to open a ticket.
sorry that I couldn't be of any help with your problem.
kind regards, anton

Order unit of material

Hi Gurus,
We want to change the material to put an order unit, but we have an exsiting PO using the base unit of this material and
when we edit the material put an order unit the message come out "This order unit has been used already" I can't save
what I'm going to do? what will be the effect to the existing PO using teh base unit when we put an order unit?
hoping to your answer.
Thanks

Hi,
IS THERE DIFFER FROM BASE UNIT & ORDER UNIT. IF THEN WHAT IS CONVERSION RATIO.
IF YOU CHANGE THE ORDER UNIT THEN SINCE OPEN PO IS THERE. HOW WILL YOU RECEIVE THE MATERIAL AGAINST WHICH CONVERSION.
IT IS NOT LOGICAL.

In PR only base uom can be used - Why not order unit ?

Hi All,
When I create PR for raw material, SAP by default takes the base UOM. But our stack holders wants to use Order unit in the PR.
What is the setting required to use order unit in PR.
If this can't be done - what is the note number to support this standpoint from SAP.
Please reply.
Regards,
Raj.

Hi Rahul,
Base unit : KG
Order Unit: Meter
Currently all the raw materials planning is done outside SAP. Hence the planners raise raw material PR to procurement dept for processing.
Typical PR will have anything from 10 to 25 rawmaterial numbers in it.
Then again they manually cenvert the required order unit to base unit for PR purpose.
Thanks,
Raj.

MIGO Error- Order Unit & Order Price Unit

Hi,
I have a material whose base UOM is EA & alternate UOM is KG.(Conversion is maintained in the Material Master).
I have created a PO for this material with order unit as EA & order price unit as KG.
Now,when I try to do the GR using MIGO,I get the following error message:
"Quantities cannot be converted for the the Material".
i.e, the system is not able to do the conversion between EA & KG.
How to resolve this issue? Please advise.
Thanks,
Kaveri

Hi Mallinath,
I had tried a similar thing with another material & it was working fine.
To summarise my problem once again,please see the below data maintained by me:
MMR-
Base UOM in EA
Alternate UOM in KG (25 KG = 1EA)
PO-
Order unit in EA
Order price unit in KG
With the above settings,MIGO is giving me the error:
Quantities cannot be converted for the material.
Please advise.
Thanks,

Not allow order unit in INFO record if it is not in material master

Hello there!
In standar SAP any user can introduce any order unit in the info record, even if it is not maintained in the material master alternative units of meassure. We need to block this...
The conversion factor is not a problem for us, as we can set it only for display in the customizing, so that the systems brings it automatically from material master
The idea is to allow as order units only those units of meassure that exist in material master.
We have been checking if it is possible, but no success...
Any idea on how to get it? Error messages, user exists, or so on...
Thanks!!

Error on Sales Order - u201Cyou cannot open rows in the document"

Hi everyone,
Does anyone have any idea why this error would be occuring when a user tries to add a sales order?
u201Cyou cannot open rows in the document [sales order u2013Rows u2013 Rows status] [line0] [Message131 -194]?
If the user closes the sales order and then recaptures it, the sales order goes through. As you can imagine, the order clerks are getting a bit angry when their large orders have to be closed.
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Simon Carolin

Cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.

I updated my phone and now when I try and update my podcasts, etc I get this message:
The iPhone “John Mott’s iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.
When I try and update iTunes it tells me I'm up to date.
How do I fix it?
Why did I update? I use Apple because MS always does this. C'mon already!

I'm having a similar problem. Perhaps more complex. I just downloaded the 10.6.3 and it didn't solve the problem for my iPhone 5.
I have the new iPhone 5 and iTunes is asking for iTunes 7.0 in order to recognize the phone. I tried to download iTunes 7.0 but an error comes up stating that I need the 10.6.8. Well I tried to download the 10.6.8 and an error message came up saying that I need minimum of 10.6. So now I'm confused....
These are the error messages in order.
1. The iPhone “iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.
2. This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or higher.
3. This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6.
Will I have to pay for the 10.6?
Thanks so much in advance.

IPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. (CAN'T DOWNLOAD VERSION 10.6.3!)

After downloading the new IOS 6 update for my iphone 4, my phone will not connect to my itunes on my laptop and a message pops up and states: "The iPhone “iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes". I can't find the 10.6.3 itunes anywhere to download and I cannot download the 10.7 version because my Mac is the 10.5.8 version. What can I do? I do not want to pay for an update for my computer- I wish I had never updated my phone in the first place so I wouldn't have this problem.

TEXT material in Sales Order - Unit of Measurement is blank

We need to trigger a PR from a text item in sales order.
Only problem we are facing is an error message saying "Enter Order Unit". But there is no value in F4 help for order unit. There is no permissible value for unit of measure in F4 help, as it is derived from material master.

here is the exact requirement. We want to trigger a PR for procurement of services from a sales order. To trigger a PR for services and use service entry sheet for service confirmation we need to use item category D-Services in the PR and PO. Item category D does not allow a material to be entered as there will be no invetory tracking for this services. This is standard SAP property for item category D in the PR.
So to trigger a PR only with a text line from a sales order you need to have a sales order line item only with the text and trigger a schedule line category with the order type NB, Item category as D and account assignment category as R.

How to manage variable conversion factor in UOM to order unit

Hi,
We have a material whose base unit is PC unit price is 8 Euro / PC
Order unit is Box now we do not have a standard conversion factor.
Means sometimes vendor send 8 pc/ Box ,10 pc /Box and 12 pc /Box
so when we create Material master and enter order unit as Box in purchasing view system ask for conversion rate
if we do not enter any the value in PC field its taking 1 Box =1 PC as default.
Example: Now while creating PO say we order for 10 box.(at this point we do not know exact conversion rate)
and in the conditions we maintain price against PC .system calculate.
Now when we receive the material then we actually know how much QTy we receive in SKU (PC) but that field is blur (no input) in 101 mvt type.
One more thing In MIGO we can enter the Qty in PO Price Unit say we enter 80 PC
system only creates stock value posting (80 * 8 =640 Euro ) but the stock qty in MMBE is still 10 piece ( from 1:1 conversion with box)
Please suggest how we can handle this variable conversion rate.
So that we can enter correct Qty in the time of GR ( MIGO ).
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for the valuable Input.
For our material base unit is PC order unit is Box.
Say we main a conversion factor 10 PC =1 Box ( a default value) in MM01
And we order 10 Box. but when we receive we found that vendor send 12 pc per Box so total 120 pc
[ Po price unit is in PC in condition details]
Now in MIGO we cannot modify that Qty ( from 100 to 120 in PC)
SO you are suggesting here we receive 12 box in MIGO. so that actual qty in PC is correct..
Thanks again
