PO Output Message Record - Locked indicator is ticked

Hi,
Requirement: Create the output message records automatically, when PO is created/changed and saved.
Current Setting: Condition records(MN04) for the repsective output type are maintained. Output message record is created automatically and allows the printing when the PO's are created.
Issue: Output message records are created and trigerred when the PO's are created but there is an issue when the PO's are changed. Whe the PO is changed, output message record is getting created but it couldnot be processed as the Locked indicator is set for some reason.
Please guide me if I had missed any of the settings which is stopping me here at this point.
Please guide!!!
With regards
Krishna

Hi
There could also be possiblity that if PO is subject to release and PO is not compltely released
the Lock will remain checked

Purchase Order - Multiple Output Messages

Hi All,
Requirement:
Business needs muliplte output message records (Printout(ZNEU), EDI(ZED1), PDF,etc) for a single Purchase order document.
Current Setup:
We have configured the outuput type for Printout(ZNEU) and EDI(ZED1).
We have maintained the condition records as well for both the output types.
System creates a message record with the output type(ZNEU) when the PO's are created, but it is not picking up the output type ZED1 by default. When the message record with output type ZED1 is manually created, it is getting processed correctly and could send the IDOCS.
Please let me know whether there is any other constraint because of which is this happening.
Please guide me!!!
With regards
Krishna

Hi Krishna ,
Goto below path and check whether operation 1 is maintained for the o/p type ZEDI.

PO message (output message) is showing locked.

Hi,
I have created PO and it is not subjected to release strategy.
Still I am not able to take the print of that PO. PO message (output message) is showing locked (in general data area of message).
I know that if Purchasing documents is subject to a release procedure and If documents have not been released, the relevant output has this blocking indicator and cannot be processed (for example, printed or sent electronically).
But My PO is not subject to release strategy.
I have deleted the message and insert a new message (output) manually still it is showing the lock indicator.
Please suggest.
Regards.

Hi
Go to ME9F
Give the Po no
Processing Status give 1
and execute
it will take you to the Change mode of Out Put provide all the details and save

Intercompany with billing output message creates goods entries lock Purch O

Hi Experts,
we have a problem in an Intercompany flow.
From each SD Invoice, an output message is triggered. This output message creates a goods entry of the related purchase order related using a batch input.
There are many SD invoices related with the same purchase order.
The problem happens when many output messages were processed in a massive way though a job of report RSBDCSUB.
More that one SD invoice will create goods entries related with the same purchase order and sometimes at the same time.
The result was that some goods entries aren't created because the purchase order is locked by one of the previous process of the same purchase order.
We have as a workaround to re-process the batch inputs wrong, but we want to avoid this re-processing.
is there any solution for this process? do we change the process and use IDOCs or BAPIs?
thanks in advance,
aupalaura

Output Server & "Read Ahead" for record type indicator files

I have a design requirement where I need to read to the end of the print file (record type indicator format) before I can complete the process of laying down the subforms. I need to lay down a subform on page one, but will not get the data element needed until the end of the file. It is a bill statement with line items listings. When run in a batch it can have single page and multi-page bills combined. I have heard of "read ahead" but don't seem to find any documentation on it. Can anyone verify this function and direct me where to find more information?
Thanks, Philip

One solution might be to add a preprocessing step before the merging. Use the transformation agent to extract the "data at the end", inserting it at the beginning. When jfmerge starts, the data is good as gold, and no jumping required. In my experience, Output Server isn't that good at jumping back and forth.
Hope this helps,
Vegard

How can the Changes be seen in Output Message Cond. maint. for Purcha. Ord.

Dear All Gurus,
User had maint. the Cond. record in MN04 as for Com. code --> with Option - 5 email and Dispatch time as 4 , but as the P.o created then in Message tab the Cond. record populated as --> 5 External email and Dispatch time -3 (send with own trxn ), also i hd selected the output message line n click on Further data tab , new screen opens , here there is no tick on Manually ? Locked , this indicates that there is no any changes done in output in this P.O, but this also implies that what ever the cond. are created in MN04 , the same cond. are populated in this P.O, but user says that -> the cond record was maint. as with Option - 5 ( email) and Dispatch time as 4( Send immediately).Either the user is lying that the cond had maint correctly but may be the real situation could be that user might have created the cond with option --> 5 External email and Dispatch time -3 (send with own trxn ) and same is populated in this p.o created .
Here my question is that can we check that whatever the changes be carried out for that Co. code in trxn MN05 , is it possible to see those changes that on which date these changes were done , we have to convice this to user.
Rgds n thanxin advance.
sap11

a condition table is a customer table. if you want monitor changes made to records in such tables, then you have to prepare this in SE11 Go to Transaction SE11, enter table name and then click on 'Change' icon. In the next screen, click on 'Technical Settings' icon, the 'Log Data Change' indicator is located at the end of the screen.
of course this works only for changes made to conditions after this setting has been made.
check if you can use AUT10 transaction

Profit center lock indicator has no effect

Hi all,
I have following situation:
A cost center X is assigned to a Profit center Y. Profit centre Y has status "Inactive:change" and is valid from 01-01-2002 to 31-12-2008. Also, the lock indicator has been set and the assignment to company code 0011 has been de-activated.
Cost centre X is valid from 01-01-2008 to 31-12-9999.
I would expect that:
1) It would not have been possible to assign profit center Y to cost center X due to the limited validity date of profit center Y
2) Posting to cost center X (and profit center Y) would lead to an error message for documents with a posting date in 2009
However, SAP allows me to assign profit center Y and make postings in 2009 without a problem. The help texts and several notes I found all suggest my expected system behaviour. So am I doing anything wrong or how can I prevent assignment of profit center Y and postings being made to it in 2009?
Thanks in advance!
Rene

Hello,
If you have created a profit center in inactivate status, they system cannot read the details of the same and you are not able to assign the same to a Cost Center.
If the lock indicator is being set in profit center, you cannot use the cost center to which the locked profit center is being assigned. It will stop you at the time of posting the FI journal.
If you have removed the check box for a company code in profit center, it will stop you from being posted to the cost center to which the profit center, where the tick for company code has been removed.
Only profit centers which are in active state can be assigned to a cost center.
If you have locked a profit center and trying to assign the same to a cost center, the system throws the warning message at the time of assignment. But, however, you can further proceed with that.
If the validity period of the profit center is 01.01.2008 to 31.12.2008 and assigned to a cost center, in turn you are using that cost center as an real assignment object, it will stop from being posted the document, stating that the profit center is not valid for that period.
Please let me know if you have any further concerns.
Thanks,
Ravi

Output message type not triggered for few POs

---PRs got created manually. then PRs converted into POs through background job (me59n).
( 25 PRs got created manually with same vendor and pur.org combination then all PRs converted into POs through ME59N. In that 20 PRs had message type automatically but remaining POs haven't got the message type )
Condition record exists with vendor/pur.org combination.
and all IMG settings are correct.
medium is 8 (special function).
and not able to replicate the issue in quality systems.
Please Advise.
Thanks in advance.

PRs will not get any message type, POs will get a message record.
How is the situation now?
Did you get 20 POs only, or do you have 25 POs where just 20 have a message record?
In the first case convert the PR manually to a PO manually and see if you get a message record. You should not enter anything manually, it is supposed to work without entering anything manually because it was meant for auto PO. In case you have to enter anything manually, then this might be an indicator why auto PO could not work.
if the latter case, then compare a PO with and without message record on the fields that should match with your condition record.
Do you expect the same message type for all POs, are they all in the same purchasing organisation?
Read and check what is mentioned in KBA 1829682 - Output type is not determined in Purchase order

Output message type determination through MIGO

hello experts,
I am doing MIGO for goods reciept, it is creating material document and triggering output type attached to it (ZLCO).
Same thing when i am doing through an excel sheet (this excel application is calling a Z function module thats one looks is calling Standard BAPI BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE), this is creating material document but not trigger output type.
Output ZLCO is not created upon VGR thru Excel Upload.
What part of code should i provide to my Z function module so that it also trigger the Output type.
Thanks,

Output message can not be created in a PO

Hi to you all,
Output message can not be created in a PO for a customer. During my tests, the yellow output message was created automatically after I have saved the PO.
I checked ME9F and the table NAST, there is no entry for the PO of the customer. This happens arbitrarily.
Do you know how and why this can happen? Is it a program error or something else?
Thanks.
Esra

Hi Esra,
if I do understand you correctly, when creating the PO the system always finds a message to be created ("yellow" message). But arbitrarily the message cannot be generated in ME9F, correct?
In my view, if the message is always determined correctly in the PO there cannot be any trouble concerning condition records, the error has to occur later in the process.
Are there any error messages in the processing protocol of a message that cannot be created? What happens if you set the transmission time-spot to 4 (immediatelly)?
Just my 2 cents

Purchase Order Output Message

Hello all,
in a purchase orderI will send out IDOC's. After creating the purchase order a proposal for an output type had been made (checked in analysis, the condition record has been found, but no proposal had been made in the purchase order. After saving the PO there is no record in NAST.
Has somebody an idea?
Regards
Norbert

hi
You need to do some configuration for this.
u2022 Goto NACE .
u2022 Select EF and click on OUTPUT TYPES.
u2022 Then select Output Type NEU and click on processing routines .
u2022 In that you have to add a new entry - medium 5 .
u2022 Then you need to assign a program, form routine and form.
u2022 You can use the standard program i.e. SAPFM06P, FORM routine is always ENTRY_NEU and standard MEDRUCK.
u2022 Then in PARTNER FUNCTION you need to add a new entry : medium - 5 and function - VN .
u2022 For subject of the mail goto Mail Title and Texts. In title give PO No. &EKKO-EBELN& .
u2022 Under General data -> Replacement of text symbols give programm as SAPMM06E and Form Routine as TEXT_SYMBOL_REPLACE .
u2022 Now the subject will be PO No. 1800004202.
u2022 You need to maintain your email id in tcode SU01 and also the vendor's email id.
u2022 Now while creating a new purchase order , change the medium to External Send .
u2022 Then goto Communication Method and select CS01 . ALSO make sure that the Cover Page Text has value PO No. &EKKO-EBELN& .
u2022 Goto tcode ME9F .
u2022 Execute.
u2022 Select the checkbox and click on Output Message.
u2022 You will get a message MAII 00000000000001 generated .
u2022 Use note no 191470

Automatic output message generation for PO

Hi Forum,
I am getting below message while creating a PO, I want to set Automatic output message - (my output is by e mail). Please help...!!!
No message generated for output of purchasing document
Message no. 06261
Diagnosis
The system was not able to find a message record via the message determination schema. Therefore it was not possible for such a record to be generated for this purchasing document. In consequence, the purchasing document cannot be outputted (printed or transmitted).
Procedure
The message determination process should be checked and, if necessary, corrected.
The message record can be created manually for this document. For this purpose, choose the function "Messages" in the menu "Header" and maintain the necessary data.
Thanks & Regards,
Rohit Guliani

Hi Rohit,
You need to check that your print program is SAPFM06P and form as MEDRUCK.
Any testing should be done with this testing and once thus setting works, you may go back to your own program and form if you like. This helps a lot in identifying the area of error.
Please tell me you support pack level for SAP_APPL. It starts with SAPKH***** (like SAPKH46C08).
After that your help can be done.

How to display the Output messages on LabVIEW

Hi,
I'm building a simple user interface on LabVIEW and I have the following question:
- TestStand has an Output Tab where I display some messages using Engine.OutputMessage; How can I do the same thing on my UI?
I've attached a printscreen of my TestStand sequence as an example of what I want do do on LabVIEW.
I apreciate all the help.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, from your post in the LabVIEW board I did not understand that it was the Output message that you were looking for.
I thought you wanted the results from your test steps displayed on the user interface.
It is the “Output Panel” in the sequence editor that displays your output message, but I do not know if there is default Output panel activeX indicator for user interface that the TestStand engine would update automatically like it does the execution view.
Maybe someone else knows
As also pointed out, the UI messages is your other option.
The Output Message event number is 40
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3879
UIMsg_OutputMessages–(Value: 40) TestStand sends this message at periodic intervals when it holds references to output messages that calls to the OutputMessage.Post method queue. TestStand transfers the queued messages to an OutputMessages collection attached to the UIMessage.ActiveXData property for this event. An application that processes output messages should copy the output message references from the collection in UIMessage.ActiveXData to its own private OutputMessages collection by passing its private collection to the OutputMessages.CopyMessagesToCollection method. An application calls the Engine.NewOutputMessages method to create a private OutputMessage collection. TestStand generates this event only if the Engine.OutputMessagesEnabled property is True. Because there can be more than one handler for this event, the application should not modify the OutputMessages collection the UIMessage.ActiveXData property holds.

Plant as a condition to determine output messages in PO

Hi All:
I configure condition table for PO with the fields: Doc Type, Purch Org, Vendor and Plant (all the previous fields at header level except for the plant ) this table is assigned to an access that also contain the condition table: Doc Type, Purch Org. and Vendor (all the fields at header level) but when I create a condition record for the condition table that contain the plant it does not determine any message, the condition record seems to be not taking into consideration at all, however when I create a condition record for the condition table that does not contain the plant the system determine correctly the messsage in the PO. My requirement is to have the plant as a condition to determine the output message in the PO. Do you know if can get this without a user exit or enhancement, only customizing settings?
Thanks for your help
Best Regards

OSS Note 457497 - FAQ: Message processing in purchasing
Is message determination possible at item level too?
Answer:
No. During message determination, the system does not access the data of the purchasing document's individual items (for example, table EKPO or EKET) because the values in the item-related table fields (for example, EKPO-WERKS) may be different from item to item.
