Hi,
Check note 481600 - FAQ: Import data in purchasing which gives more informarion.
specially these points
1.         Question:
Why does the system generate message 06698 (Import data is incomplete or
not available) when generating or changing a purchase order?
Answer:
For one or several fields, which are not filled in the purchase order,
the incompleteness check is active in the Customizing.(How to change the
Customizing is described below.)
2.         Question:
How and where can the check of the import data be set to incompleteness
in the Customizing?
Answer:
First of all, check which incompleteness procedures are assigned to the
respective country for the header and item data.You can find this in the
Customizing under:
       Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Foreign Trade/Customs ->
       Control Foreign Trade Data in MM and SD Documents ->
       Incompleteness Schemas for Foreign Trade Data
Now, check which fields are assigned to the corresponding incompletenes
procedure. For this purpose, follow the path:
       Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Foreign Trade/Customs ->
       Control Foreign Trade Data in MM and SD Documents ->
       Incompleteness Schemas for Foreign Trade Data
Select the desired schema and click on 'Document fields'.For all fields
which are displayed here, you can now check which value there is define
in field 'Field control'.(This value controls both the field selection
and the incompleteness check.).

Sunitha.
