Error "Account Coding allocation" SE 508 while creating Service Entry

Hi SAP Gurus,
I am facing problem while creating Service entry as "Error in Account coding allocation"
As for the particular PO , SE is partially created and accepted, also MIRO entry is also done.
After that PO was deleted accidentally and again undeleted.
So when Analysed , found that ESKL table is updated with deletion indicator.
Path in PO Service tab>Account assignment>Change Display-->deletion flag is set, which is in display mode and cannot be changed.
As the whole cycle is completed for partial quantity the system is not allowing to change the deletion flag as per teh path above.
Also the notes 1087090 is applied.
Spoken with the abaper also as the note which is indicating the Exit "EXIT_SAPLMLSK_001" is also not active in our case.
Waiting for the reply ASAP.
Thanks & Regards.

Error message SE508 while create Service Entry Sheet (ML81N)

Hi,
In client production system we are facing problem of getting error message SE508: Error in account coding allocation just after we click "adopt services"tab while creating service entry sheet (with respect to PO)Tcode ML81N.Please analyse the problem and give us solution as why it is happening? Please look at error screen shot with steps followed (in attachment) for your reference.
ML81N>Select PO>Enter>goto entry sheet create (empty page)>service entry sheet displayed with internal no. assigned >click tab "service selection">Input PO No.> click "adopt services"> here we get error message "SE508":ERROR IN ACCOUNT CODING ALLOCATION
Regards
Rahul Shukla

Hi,
I would suggest you to check the note 1087090 first.
Further I would like to recommend you to deactivate the exit EXIT_SAPLMLSK_001 in case it is active in
your system.
If the note 1087090 doesn't apply, please check the services data in the tables ESKL and ESLL. If PO services data have been deleted in the corresponding PO item, please check all of the deletion indicators in ESKL and ESLL. There must be an inconsistency. For example: the field 'LOEKZ' has been set in the table ESKL for the PO item, but it does not reflect in the table ESLL.
In table ESLL, there is no logical or physical deletion but the
services in the table ESKL has been marked (i.e logically deleted) -> this could be the reason for the error message SE508. For this case please open a SAP ticket to get help with the correction of the inconsistency.

Regarding pricing not picking from contract while creating service entry

hello,
we are facing a problem -we have created a contract with a service item and made a purchase order with the same reference as well. problem starts while creating service entry sheet while adopting the services its not picking the rate from the contract. please guide us how to proceed further.
thanks,
ritesh

Hi Ritesh,
please check the pricing date in the contract service item and also in the entry sheet header. The price could be probably not found due to different validity of the pricing condition in contract - the price from the contract is not valid on pricing date of   the service entry sheet.
The price in SES is determined on the base of the value in the
field 'Price Reference Date of Entry Sheet' (ESSR-LBLDT). This field
is located on 'Basic data' tab.
However, enhancement SRVESSR (customer exit EXIT_SAPLMLSR_010) can
be used for changing this behaviour.

Validity period error while creating Service Entry Sheet.

Hi SAP experts,
Users are facing below two error messages while creating serivce entry sheet with respect to Standard PO (NB).The PO has RFQ refrence where Validity start and end date is blank. Also PO has Item category 'D' (Services)
1) "Runtime of entry must fall within Run time of the PO (05.12.2008-05.01.2009)
2) Entry must be wihin validity period of purchase order (05.12.2008-05.01.2009)
In the EKKO table system is showing validity start and end date for PO but it is not present in the PO (NB) by ME 22 / 23N.
Basically standard PO (NB) should not have validity start date and end date but still it is showing in the table EKKO.
Kindly provide me related resolution ASAP.
Thanks

Hi Alex,
Thanks for the quick reply.
There is no Validity period maintained in the PO header under "Additional data".

Error: while creating Service Entry Sheet - for HELD PO

Hi experts,
While PO XXXXXXXXXX is in the status of Hold. System allowed me to create & delete a service entry sheet(SES) on particular date.
Another day i tried to create SES for the same PO. System is not allowing me to create SES and it gives me error as 'Purchase order XXXXXXXXXX incomplete (parked)'.
While debugging I found that ekko-memory field set to 'X'. At this point I am getting error.
My question is why the system is allowed me to create SES for a PO which is in HELD status?.
Please help me.
Thanks In advance,
Vinod

Thanks for the reply.
We are aware that system will not allow to create Service entry sheet for held po. But it is allowed me to create on a particular date. Another day i tried to create/delete a SES for the same PO or new PO(held status) system is not allowing me to delete/create SES.
Please help me what might be the reason which allowed me on a particulare date.
Thanks in Advance,

>We have enter uncoded services in the Services Tab of item details and have entered qty and gross price alongwith wbs element. There are about 63 lines ltems, while selecting the first only three are getting selected correctly the line items 04 to 08 are giving the following error.

Enter a price.
When we try to enter a price it does not accept.
and gives an error message SE316.
Enter a price
Message no. SE316
The functionality requires that a price must be entered for service lines in purchase orders and service entry sheets.
If you have to enter a line with the price "0", you can mark the line as an informatory line.
We try to sent the price in the column but it is not accepting the price.
What could be the solution to this error.

Error while doing Service Entry

Hello all,
Creating a service entry sheet is not possible, because after saving the sheet, we receive an error message in the Business workplace:
Update cancelled. After that the newly created service entry sheet cannot be found.
Please advice what could be the possible reason for this.
regards,
Prashant Rathore.

Hi,
There may also be a short dump associated with the update error. This could be
accessable through the mailbox. If it isn't can you also check in transaction ST22 if the relevant dump is contained there.
Additionally please kindly review the note 3179, if the error occurs during the entry sheet acceptance:
.- Please check transaction OMBT to determine the current number for material
   documents.
.- Then use SE17 for table MKPF and determine the latest material
   document number.
.- Then set the current number to one higher than the last material
   document in OMBT for the relevant number range.

"Buffer table not upto date" while creating Service entry via BAPI

Hi All,
I am facing the same issue while creating and accepting a service entry sheet via BAPI_ENTRYSHEET_CREATE in a report . I get a pop up message S001 (Buffer table not upto date) in ML81N. Though, it is not an error message it delays the further processing. I have checked the relevant threads for this message but since there is no SRM involved, I couldn't track the exact solution.
Regards,
Garima

Hi ,
Please close all the applications and re-check your rquirement.
Also, check for any information from SM21 logs.
Some times, it can be due to program /report not correctly maintained.
Finally, Basis people need to validate & may re-start (cautios of Production system) system.

Tax calculation while posting Service entry reversal

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario where the Service entry sheet was posted for $8,479.41 with U1 as tax code. the net value after including tax is 8900.74
but when the user posted the invoice, he used I0 (tax exempt). the invoice amount now was 8305.54.
after that there was a reversal so the user posted credit memo for the same amount(8305.54).
but when we reverse the Service entry sheet, instead of reversing for the original Material doc amount (8900.74) the system is reversing the invoiced amount which 8305.54. I checked all the accounting documents but fail to see where the remaining amount 685.2 is posted. I am not able to reverse this amount in MIGO
Service Entry/Material Doc (U1): 8900.74
Invoice Doc (I0): 8305.54
Credit Memo: 8305.54
Material Doc through Service entry revoke: 8305.54
Please help me understand this scenario

Hi,
Refer the note: 856682 - Goods receipt document cancelled with incorrect value which explains the reason and the system design.
