PO Number Check on an Inter-Company Consignment Fill-up Order

Question

Hi Gurus,
I am working on an Inter-Company Consignment Fillup Scenario. When i create an order in CRM the order is error free. Upon replication i get an error. The error message is
Purchase order "TEST PO" does not exist in the system (see long text) (Notification E V1 583) - TEST PO is the PO entered.
The requirement is to enter any PO and ECC should not check if a Purchase Order exists for the PO entered in ECC.
This was working before we applied support packs in our environment 10 days back.
Well we do not create orders in ECC, if i try to create one in ECC the error is
Purchase order Test PO does not exist in the system
Message no. V1583
Diagnosis
You are creating an order for a consolidated company and must eliminate internal business volume. For this reason, the system tries to determine if the related purchase order exists. This is not the case, however.
Procedure
Enter the relevant purchase order number
Thanks,

<b>Consignment Cycle:</b>
1. Consignment fill up:
Sales document type is KB
Item category KBN
schedule line category 1
In this step, you are not invoicing the customer. document flow is sales order -
delivery item category. It will not be relevant for billing and pricing because you are not charging money for these goods in this step.
In schedule line category, you will set movement type 631 & set for availability check and TOR.
2. Consignment Issue.
Once the customer informed you that he used all the goods or partial goods then you will create consignment issue for used goods.
Sales document: KE
Item category: KEN
schedule line category: C0 or C1
Here you are invoicing the customer(because he used the goods). you are assigning the delivery document and billing document to the sales document.
In item category, you are setting relevant for billing, pricing, special stock.
In schedule line category, your setting is 633 movement type, relevant for availability check & TOR.
3. Consignment Return:
Customer found that some goods are damaged or he not able to sold the goods he want to send it back. that you are creating this document.
Sales document type: KR
Item category: KRN
You will assign delivery document and billing to sales document. you will create return order, return delivery, return billing.
Your setting item category relevant for billing, returns, pricing, special stock.
Your setting schedule line item category: 634 movement type, NO availability NO TOR.
4. Consignment Pick up:
Even if you create the consignment return the goods are not come to direct to your plant. For that you need to create consignment pick up. here the owner ship is not changing so you do not need to create billing.
Assign return delivery to sales document type.
Sales document: KA
Item category: KAN
