Purchase Order ME21N, Going on Held Status

Hi All,
I created a new PO Document Type Z** by copying standard PO Doc Type NB. When I create a new PO under new PO Document Type and save it it gives me document still faulty with 3 options Hold, Edit & Cancel. There is no error displayed if I click on Edit or do a check. I can click on Hold and create a PO in Held status, I then need to go in ME22N and save the PO which brings the PO out of held status and releases it.
Any suggestions on how to address the held status issue ?
Thanks.

Can you change the status from hold to active PO easily from ME22N ?
Don't you need to do anything in ME22N ?
Before press save in ME21N, what is the status showing fro PO line item ? Any red signal ?
When you open the PO in ME22N, then what is the status showing fro PO line item ?

  • How does a Purchase Order get into 'Approved, Reserved' status?

    How does a Purchase Order get into 'Approved, Reserved' status?

    Hi,
    When an approved purchase order is unreserved and the GL date is modified and re-submitted for approval, the document (PO) gets reserved and approved status.
    I believe you put this question in a wrong thread (Financial), next time onwards, please put your question in correct thread and I am sure you will get the solution faster :).

  • INFO UPDATE in the purchase order ( ME21N)

    Why the field INFO UPDATE in the purchase order ( ME21N) is not flaged when I create a purchase order?
    I create a PO, and I flag it in ME21N, but it cancel it? WHY
    I have already tried it in spro Default values for purchasing, and all seem good!!
    Anybody could tell how can I tick this field?
    Thanks a lot

    Hi
    Info update indictor can be set by defualt if you maintain the same in the Purchase inforecord,
    If no inforecord exists then this would not be flagged and if you flag it then the Purchase inforecord gets created with the update of with or wothout plant based on the default value assigned to the buyers.

  • Purchase Order with "Error in Process" status????

    We are currently using SRM 4.0 in an extended classis setup.  We have been live for appropriately 1 yr and half and I have noticed more and more Purchase Orders going into status "Error in Process" when a change (increase value, add line items, change name) has been performed on the PO and then the PO is approved.  The PO will sometimes show up in the SRM Administration Tab occassionaly but more than less they don't and we have to search for failed PO to find all the "error in Process" PO's.  I have had success with having the user just change something in the name of the PO and then re-order and the PO will then go into R3 but I was wondering is there something in the system other than having the user change the PO that I can do to push the PO into R3.  When we have similar issues with confirmation I run tcode SWO1 and use the GUID ID and click transfer to push it to the backend.  Is there anything I can do in the backend that will send the PO into R3 and update the status to Ordered giving there is no apparent error in the system?

    Hello Robert,
    We've been facing a similar issue (we are also in SRM 4.0 Extended Classic Scenario): Sometimes, when the user modifies a purchase order from SRM (for example, to add some new items), the purchase order replication to the backend failed.
    In the Application monitor, we had the following backend error:
    "Insert Cost Center for Item X"
    but the Cost Center value was correct (other items from the same purchase order had the same account assignment).
    We thought the problem was related to the function module in the backend which was changing the purchase order, so we put a SAP OSS Note.
    In this OSS note, SAP recommended us to implement note 1005615, and the problem was solved.
    Check if this note could be implemented in your backend.
    Hope this helps you,
    Regards.

  • Smartform in Purchase Order ME21N

    Hi guys.
    I'm working in SAP 6.0 ECC. I am developing a sapscript for purchase order and it is working well, but i wanna do the same in smartform, i checked on the web that sap 6.0 ecc has some standard smartform for Purchase Order, but mine doesnt have it. In addition, i tried to convert my sapscript to smartform, but the only thing that converts are the windows, no tables or variables, so it doesnt work.
    how can i do it? somebody did a smartform for ME21N??? what are the parameters that i need to use? the idea is that this smartform will be trigged at the moment of release the purchase order throught ME29N.
    Regards
    it will be super usefull that somebody could send me a smartform

    Sending attachments by mail is not really compliant with forum rules (because other people won't get the information).
    The good answer would have been to look at SDN "smart forms" home page, then look at section "preconfigured smart forms".
    It says that it must be downloaded from SWDC (SAP software download center), choose Installations and Upgrades -> ...Entry by Application Group -> SAP Best Practices -> SAP BP BASELINE PACKAGE ...

  • Text Purchase Order / ME21N to Accounting

    hi gurus,
    When we do ME21N / creating a purchase order, is there a possibility to write a text which you can also see in the G/L Account. For example in our G/L account 614000 there are many purchase order created invoices, but with no text mentioned. But we do need a text, because we should know what the invoice was for.  But all WE don't' have any text. We tried to write a text in the purchase order but it doesn't' came out in our P/L account. Can you please give us advice, where we can write a text in the purchase order which you can also see in a P/L account or is there no way?
    thanks
    jay

    Hi Jay,
    This you can do with a FI substititution (OBBH) with a user exit to fill the text field.
    In the substitution you know the PO and PO line item number with that information you read in the user exit the text in the Table EKPO and place this in FI text field
    The selection is to do this when the PO is NE blanc.

  • DBIF_RSQL_INVALID_RSQL when creating a Purchase Order (ME21N)

    Hi,
    The system is generating a short dump DBIF_RSQL_INVALID_RSQL when a user tries to create a purchase order.
    what could be the cause of this? i have analysed the short dump in st22 and looked at sm21 and st11 and they are giving very little detaill.
                                                                                    Error in the module RSQL accessing the database interface.                                                                               
    What happened?                                                                               
    Error in ABAP application program.                                                                               
    The current ABAP program "SAPLZMM_GET_ACT" had to be terminated because one of    
    the                                                                               
    statements could not be executed.                                                                               
    This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.                                                                               
    What can you do?                                                                               
    Print out the error message (using the "Print" function)                          
    and make a note of the actions and input that caused the                          
    error.                                                                               
    To resolve the problem, contact your SAP system administrator.                    
    You can use transaction ST22 (ABAP Dump Analysis) to view and administer          
    termination messages, especially those beyond their normal deletion              
    date.                                                                               
    Error analysis                                                                               
    An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below  
    . The exception, which is assigned to the class 'CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB', was  
    neither                                                                  
    caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure          
    "ZMM_GET_ACT_PLN" "(FUNCTION)"                                           
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception  
    to occur, the running program was terminated.                            
    The reason for the exception is:                                          
    The SQL statement generated from the SAP Open SQL Statement violates a    
    restriction imposed by the database system used in R/3.                                                                               
    Possible errors:                                                          
    o The maximum size of an SQL statement has been exceeded.                
    o The statement contains too many input variables.                       
    o The space needed for the input data exceeds the available memory.      
    o ...                                                                               
    You can usually find details in the system log (SM21) and in the          
    developer trace of the work process (ST11).                               
    If an error occurs the developer trace often informs you about the        
    current restrictions.                                                                               
    How to correct the error                                                                               
    The exception must either be prevented, caught within the procedure             
    "ZMM_GET_ACT_PLN"                                                              
    "(FUNCTION)", or declared in the procedure's RAISING clause.                    
    To prevent the exception, note the following:                                   
    The SAP Open SQL statement must be divided into several smaller units.          
    If the problem occurred due to the use of an excessively large table            
    in an IN itab construct, you can use the addition FOR ALL ENTRIES               
    instead.                                                                        
    When you use this addition, the statement is split into smaller units           
    according to the restrictions of the database system used.                                                                               
    You may able to find an interim solution to the problem                         
    in the SAP note system. If you have access to the note system yourself,         
    use the following search criteria:                                                                               
    "DBIF_RSQL_INVALID_RSQL" CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DBC                                     
    "SAPLZMM_GET_ACT" or "LZMM_GET_ACTU01"                                          
    "ZMM_GET_ACT_PLN"                                                               

    Hi,
    Wherever you have used SQL statement please do check all the fields here as some of the fields are not in correct order as they are required per the actual table in dictonary, to just verify that you can use addition of "INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF INTERNALTABLE" in your SQL statement as this will not require the fields to be in order but this may cause performance issue.
    Thanks and Regards
