GRN IDOC Transfer to ERP - MBGMCR01 ( 2 IDOCS created)

Question

Hello Folks,
We are on SRM 4 server 5 support Pack 10. and integrate to ERP 2004.
When posting a confirmation (GRN) the SRM application is creating 2 idocs to send to the EPR application. We have just performed an upgrade and this was not happening before the upgrade when we were on EBP 3.0.
The problem with SRN creating 2 idocs is that the second IDOC goes into error in ERP and the entry in BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB is not removed in SRM.
Please could someone tell me why 2 idocs are being created in this instance.
Thanks
Dave

Hi
Please read this.
<u>Report  BBP_GET_STATUS_2 (Update requirement coverage requests) ->
You should schedule this report to run daily in the SRM System, so that information on the status of purchase requisitions, purchase orders, and reservations is up-to-date.
For more information, read the report documentation.</u>
<u>Report  CLEAN_REQREQ_UP (Interval for update check) ->
Creation of follow-on documents for SRM documents in the backend system (purchase requisitions, purchase orders, reservations) or locally too (local purchase order) is executed asynchronously.
You can only process SRM documents further after the update has been carried out.
At the interval defined by you in Customizing, the system checks whether the documents have been updated and thus whether you can further process the documents. (The system reads the system table BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB.) You should schedule this report periodically.
Note - If you have defined an interval in Customizing, you have to delete the entry. (It is not sufficient to set the interval to zero.)</u>
