Purchase Order Inconsistency

Hi Experts,
I have very strange problem with some of purchase orders.
I create the purchase order and saved it.
When i tried to chenge purchase order system does not respond and dont allow me to save the order.
Transaction gets locked which can be seen in SM12 tcode also.
Also when i tried to release the PO system again performs the same way and trasaction gets locked.
I checked the release strategy, customization, material and vendor master, also the authorizations..
Basis person also checked it but couldnt able to locate any specific reason.
In every PO i faced the problem Material and Vendor is same.
Waht could be the reason thet transactions are getting locked when working with these POs , any specific things to be checked , configuration, or Notes to be applied.
Please guide me in this as i am not able to process these very important POs.
Best Regards,
Kapil

Thanks and appreciate your quick reply,
But no other user is processing this master data and it never save the document after few hours also.
It just gets locked every time when i release/change this PO.
Experts Pankaj, Hemlatha awaiting your experts comments on this issue.

MD04 inconsistency With Purchase order quantity

Hi All,
My scenario is :
Purchase order quanty - 100 LB ( 200 kg).
GR against this Pur. ord - 100 kg
So now the Open PO qunatity is - 100 kgs. i can see the same in delivery tab of PO.
but in MD04 for that PO quantity is showing it as 120 kg. (eccess of 20 kgs).
Please suggest, why this Inconsistency in MD04.
Regards,
Prakash.B

Hello
POs are generally displayed on MD04 exactly as they are on the MM tables, therefore, I suggest you to check the quantity on the MM tables (EKPO, EKET, EKES...).
The quantity displayed is the total quantity minus the quantity reduced for MRP (field DABMG).

GR/IR Posting Error CKMLGRIR025 - Purchase Order History Inconsistent

Hi Everyone.
We currently have a posting in our GRIR for a Feright Condition Value against a Purchase Order which gets the above error when trying to post in MR11.
The Diagnosis of the error reads:
"The purchase order history contains differences between the goods receipt and invoice receipts/Account maintenance for the order item in the field Difference Quantitiy (= 43.804 TO) and Difference Value (= -342.77)
The purchase order history for this tiem is inconsistent"
When looking at this Freight Condition information in the Purchase Order I can not see why this item has resulted in this error in MR11.
Has anyone else seen this error come through in their system, and do you have any ideas on how to fix this.
Thanks
Hayley

We are experiencing the same issue with the GRIR Posting Error CKMLGRIR025 - puchase order history inconsistent. The actual message that we receive is Puchase Order history already inconsistent -->Quantity 1.00 EA Value 0.65-USD.
We reviewed SAP Note 708649 which also recommends using transaction MIRO with the corresponding default quantity and value o. However, we are not able to enter an Invoice for the "default qty & value 0", as SAP gives me error message M8278 "You are not allowed to have zero lines" (just like Haley commented). In reviewing this thread, I did not find the solution to the error message M8278 "You are not allowed to have zero lines" . Could someone help me understand?
Thank you!

Purchase Order - Release Startegies; Inconsistency error

Dear all,
I am changing our release startegy for the purchase orders. Therfore I added two characteristics:
- Plant (Table EKKO and Field WERKS)
- Material Number
The problem is that I get the following error message:
"Inconsistent characteristic value assignment"
I only added the plant value so I do not understand why I get an inconsistency?!
In the next step I also want to integrate the characteristic "materialnumber". Is it possible to define the value somehting like all values without 950*?
Can anybody help me with this?
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Markus Sigl

Dear Sasi,
I checked the database and all parts of the strategy. There should be no inconsitency (all the codes. I still could not solve this problem, groups and so on should be ok).
Have you got another idea?
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Markus
Hi
I think this may be because of inconsistency caused with tables. Kindly check all the tables related to release strategy and the entries.tables T16FK, T16FV, T16FS, T16FC and T16FG
If you change any release strategy with fout following the sequence, the inconsistency in table will be created.
Follow the sequence below for deletion or changes
1. Delete the release strategies
2. Delete the release indicators
3. Delete the release codes
4. Delete the release group
5. Delete the class
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sasi

Updating Purchase Order

Hello everyone,
I have a business requirement to add a new custom field, at item level, in the Purchase Order transaction (ME21N/ME22N/ME23N). It is a char10 field.
I have already created this new field, which is correctly updating the EKPO table.
But now the business want to update this field for all Purchase Orders created in the past. I think that I will be able to update it by using a BAPI, however what I really want to know is if there is any problem in doing this since some POs were created more than 3 years ago and for which there are goods and invoice receipts.
Will this create any inconsistency in the subsequent documents (Goods receipts, invoices) generated after the PO was created?
Thanks for the help.
Best regards,
Tabrez

I agree with vikram, we don't have enough information, even not a small hint on usage of this field, so which answer do you expect (The quality of an answer depends ...) This analysis must be executed on your system...
From a technical point of view, the BAPI_PO_CHANGE has EXTENSIONIN table parameter, fill it using structure BAPI_TE_MEPOITEM[X] alreading containing CI_EKPODB (*) and CI_EKPODBX (**)
Regards,
Raymond
(*) I guess you have used this include
(**) I guess you forgot this one (same field names but data element always BAPIUPDATE)

SAP renamed 'Purchase Order Data' tabs but it is not changed in menu bar

In VA01/VA02/VA03 transactions, SAP has renamed the "Purchase Order Data" tabs at header and item level to "Order Data" but the Goto > Header and Goto > Item menu paths still have "Purchase Order Data" as the name. This is inconsistent. Is there an SAP fix for it?

Archiving PO older MM_EKKO (purchase order)

Hello,
I need archiving PO older (more than 10 years old), but this PO when execute preprocessing program RM06EV47 and most of them can not be marked for deletion, for many reasons. Eg. e06(115) "Quantity delivered differs from qty. invoiced (Function not possible)" and other messages
I already tested with
Program: RWPOB001 (Transaction WPO1)
BADI: ARC_MM_EKKO_CHECK
But I can not mark it for deletion (prerequisite for archivign PO).
Is there a standard way to close that inconistentes Purchase order ?
I want to avoid
UPDATE EKKO-LOEKZ = 'L'.
Thanks

If your PO shows E06(115), use transaction MASS, BUS2012 to flag both: EKPO-ELIKZ ("Delivery Completed" Indicator) and EKPO-EREKZ (Final invoice indicator). This should let the PO pass - I was in the same situation and finally managed to get rid of 98% of inconsistent PO's.
In addition: search in OSS for notes on the subject, especially with keyword RM06EV47 - there are a couple of notes explaining what to do to pass the prepare-run.

Purchase Order History SES not shown when not accepted

We are working on 2 systems : one is ECC 6.0 and the other is 4.6.
When i create a SES via ML81N and the SES is not released yet : on the 4.6 version, the SES is shown in the purchase order history, while in the ECC 6.0 version, the SES is not shown in the purchase order history. In ECC 6.0, the SES is shown inthe purchase order history tab after the SES has been accepted.
Is this a setting in customizing or a difference in the 2 versions of SAP?

Hi,
no, it might be a coding error or an inconsistency issue.
Please check the note
442091 - Service entry sheet missing in purchase order hist
In order to repair already existing inconsistencies, you can use report
RMESSRK2 (from Note 141870 or as of Release 4.6C in development class
ML_TOOLS). However, the report must be modified in the two positions
specified in the attachment.
If you can not find the report RMESSRK2 in transaction SE38
in your system - or in transaction SE80 under the development class
ML_TOOLS, then please copy the program from the attached note
ML_TOOLS into your system and correct the coding according to
note 442091.

SRM Purchase Order not Created Automatically

SRM 7.0 Extended Classic Scenario:
Issue: When creating a standard shopping cart in SRM the Purchase Order is not created in SRM (or in R3). Eventhough the shopping cart is fully approved and has a vendor assigned. The overall shopping cart status remains approved,the line items status shows 'item in transfer process'. Otherwise there are no errors in the application monitor. Nothing appears in table BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB
Considerations: Everything is working fine for limit shopping cart, the PO gets created automatically and the SC has status follow-on document created.
Also, this was working fine for standard orders, it seems that support pack 7 or 8 broke this functionality, yet I do not see any notes regarding the issue. Any ideas on what controls the automatic PO generation or how it could work for limits but not standard SC's would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

First of all PO should be created then you can see entry in doc table.
u Note 1480994 - How to process a shopping cart with status I1111?
see SAP treatment and some work around..
Symptom
Shopping Cart is stuck in status I1111 (Item in transfer process).
Other terms
Application Monitor, I1112, I1111, Monitor Shopping Cart
Reason and Prerequisites
This is a FAQ note, which shows how to treat such Shopping Carts.
Solution
Shopping Cart status I1111 (Item in transfer process) is a temporary status, which means that shopping cart is being processed in order to generate a follow-on document.
However, it is possible that status I1111 becomes permanent and, in this case, shopping cart status is inconsistent.
There are some procedures to be considered when shopping cart is stuck in status I1111.
Report BBP_ALERT_SB_NOTTRANSFERED is available to change the status of the shopping cart item from I1111 to 'Error in transmission' (I1112) and later on, it is possible to retransfer this shopping cart from Application Monitor/Monitor Shopping Cart transactions.
Note 441768 provides more information about this report.
However, BBP_ALERT_SB_NOTTRANSFERED works in a time stamp. BBP_ALERT_SB_NOTTRANSFERED will check shopping carts created after date specified in table BBP_CONTROL.
To check this information, go to SE16 -> BBP_CONTROL and as input parameter provide the report name. Here you will see the last date that report has been run.
If you have a shopping cart in status I1111 which is older than date specified in table BBP_CONTROL, you have to change manually the time stamp specified in such table. You have to specify an older date (before shopping cart creation).
Doing this, you can run report BBP_ALERT_SB_NOTTRANSFERED and cart in question will have status I1112 assigned.
Once status I1112 is assigned to shopping cart, you can retransfer it from Application Monitor (BBPWEBMONITOR transaction in SAP_GUI) or Monitor Shopping Cart in the web.
To transfer Shopping Carts from BBPWEBMONITOR, some settings need to be done.
Following notes should be considered:
550044
FAQ Alert monitor RZ20 does not show any alerts
396102
BBP Alert monitor RZ20 does not work
387701
The Shopping Card are not transfered after "resubmit"
According note 387701, workflows WS10000214 and WS10000215 have to be activated. One of them is to delete shopping cart item using Application Monitor and the other one is to resubmit the cart. Then, once this settings are done, you can retransfer I1112 carts from Application Monitor.
If all settings are done and you have a cart with status I1112 that it is not appearing in Application Monitor, report BBP_ALERT_SC_STATUS_ERROR is available, which checks the carts in status I1112 and put them in the Application Monitor, in order to allow you to transfer them again. Note 631513 explains about this report.
Additional notes to be considered in this scenario:
1159609
Transfer function does not create local purchase orders
1233037
BBP_MON_SC: Shopping cart transfer ends in status I1111
1040878

Price Update on new purchase order in ME21N

We are creating new purchase orders for year 2011 and wanted to do mass update of price in the conditions tab. It works only when we select each line item. But if we select all and then hit price update with choice 'B', only the first line is being changed with the new price. Is there any inconsistency in updating the price - we are copying a previous year's purchase order to create a new PO. Thank you for your help.
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
I think what you are looking for is the functionality called "Automatic document adjustment". Please take a look at [http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/75/ee1fa755c811d189900000e8322d00/frameset.htm]. There select Conditions ... -> Automatic Document Adjustment.

Purchase order price limit checking against info record

We would like to block the saving of a purchase order if the line item price differs by some X% of the purchasing information records price. Reviewing the pricing condition process seems to indicate it may be possible here. But it looks to primarily calculate the expected PO price. The real control we are after is to catch the manual PO price change, by the user, that is inconsistent with master data records. We already are using the tolerance limit warning for price variance, but that only links to the moving average price. If the stock is zero, then there is nothing to compare to. We would really like a check to compare the info record to the entered price at time of save.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thank you
Brian

Hi brain,
You need to write a USER exit in such a way that while entering the PO net price syestem should go to chek the price in PIR price,

Activating Workflow Purchase Order Material Management:

Hi:
I am working in the Workflow for Purchaser Order.
Actually I have to notify when an Order have been created.
I am using the BUS2012 and also using as basis the Workflow WS20000075.
My problem is that I pre-configured Workflow in the transaction SWU3 and everything is OK.
And I activated the WF in the transaction SWDD in the start events:
Category: Object Type: Event of the object:
BO BUS2012 RELEASESTEPCREATED
And every time that I am creating a new Purchaser Order the Workflow automatic deactivated, and I have to activate this again manually.
Is there any way to avoid the deactivating?
Or Are there any way obligate the Workflow always been active?
Thanks a lot for the help
Best Regards.

Hi eveybody:
Thanks for your help. I have two possible solutions. Can you tell me what do you think about these?
I entered to the transaction SM21 and check the logs. I found the following:
The enqueue lock for the work item, which was set by the who has been invalidated by the execution of an application met Business Workflow. This problem only occurs when the function DEQUEUE_ALL is called within the application method. The who runtime system consequently has an inconsistent status. The symptoms can arise:Work items have the status COMPLETED although the completin received and processed. The workflow container has an undefined status Deadlocks occurs in the workflow database tables
So, We need to aplicate a note, and the basis is working on that.
While the basis is working on that I used the transaction SWEQADM, in basic data I change the information of the receiver error feedback to: Do not change linkage, and now is working, the WF is not deactivating with this.
Actually I hope that the note help me, and I can put instead of do not change linkage, the standard Deactivation of linkage.
What do you think about it?
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards

"Actual" value in purchase order

Hello everyone,
We´ve detected that this field is not showing the sum of the entered service entry sheets.
This field is showing a greater value than the total of service entries created.
Anyone know if there is any error at standard system that doesn´t refresh well this value??
Thank you everyone in advance.

cecil

Hi,
I think in this case there is some inconsistency in your system.
To correct the relevant purchase orders just use report RMBESTK3 which
should be implemented in your system. If it is not, this report is
also documented in note 126285.
Just run this report RMBESTK3 for the relevant service purchase orders
(with test flag for the first run).
And also refer the note 198253 .
For blanket purchase orders please use the report in note 198253.

Srikanth.

Now, I raised a PO in Purchasing, Vision Operations (USA), approved it and want to recieve in Purchasing, Vision Services (USA). The issue is, in Receipts form, the PO is not visible. When I enter the PO, it is saying as Invalid Value for PO_NUM.
Please help me in this.
Thanks,
Naresh Mankala

Hi Rahul,
breaking SAP standard processes cause such inconsistent data. My sencere advice is to avoid these.
You can run report RM06C020 to correct this inconsistency.
Please read very carefully the information provided in SAP note 115899 and remember that this report is intended only to be used for correction once; it should never be planned periodically as a background job.
Hencefore you should check first that all notes mentioned in SAP note 128061 have been applied in order to prevent the creation of new inconsistencies.
