Strange messages from SAP GTS when creating purchase orders (POs)

Hello gurus,
we use SAP GTS to check against sanctioned party lists (SPLs) only. We already transferred all our master data to GTS and our partners were checked okay. Now we just activated the document check in our test system. The system produces two different messages we do not quite understand:
1. When creating a purchase order with an item without material master, the system gives the message:
Legal Control: Custs Prod. Mast. Required
Material
Obviously GTS tries to find a matching material master, which naturally fails. My question is: Can I disable this check somewhere? In our case it is not important what the material is, we just want to check if our vendor is on some SPL.
2. In some POs there is the message
Legal Control: Partn. Function Mapping not Maintained
Partner Function: DA
I think I understand what the system is trying to say, but fact is, only one partner function is used in that order (VN). We do not even have a partner function u201CDAu201D in our ERPu2026
At least in the first case, the PO is not checked against the SPL by SAP GTS, which means we would not detect if we ordered from someone on the SPL. This is not acceptable.
Any ideas on any of those messages?
Thanks
Alicia

Hello again,
I found the solution myself:
1. see Re: Goods receipts into GTS are blocked
2. was a known problem solved by a patch (check OSS).
Thanks anyway

Workflow issue when create Purchase Order automaticlly based on Sales Order

dear experts,
I got a problem when create purchase order automatically once the Sales Order created, the field ERNAE of the Purchase Order creatd is WF-BATCH, but we want this field to be the user log in the system, like John. Smith
it seems this is a configuration issue, but i am not familar with workflow, do you experts have any solutions?
thank you in advance.
Hongtao

thank you for you reply my friend.
yes, i mean the PO creator.
I just create a SO in VA01, then change the Schedule line category from CN to CP, then SAVE, then Confirm the Delivery Proposal. after all this, the PO will be created automatically by Workflow. Because when I display the PO via ME23N, it displays [Standard PO XXXXX created by Workflow-System] on the top of the screen.
But i do not know which workflow is trigered to create the PO. and i tried SWEL like you said, there is no record listed.
do you have any other suggestions? thank you so much, friend.

Hi,
Go to SPRO-Materials Management-Purchasing-Purchase Order-Define Document Types..
Select your doc type which you are selcting at the time of PO creation..
Say for e.g. NB.
Now you have to maintain " Item Number Interval" as 10 in front of your doc type.
This option is just after "Document Type Description".
Now save and check.
Cheers...

Error in process when creating Purchase Order against WBS

Hi!
We are creating a purchase order (BBP_POC) against a WBS. But when trying to purchase for more than what the project budget is set to the purchase order gets the status "Error in process". We do not want the purchase order to be replicated to ECC but dont want it to be created in SRM as well. Is there a way to get an error message when trying to create the Purchase order? We do not want to end up with alot of purchase orders with "errror in process".
When doing the exact same thins in sourcing cockpit it is not possible to create the purchase order. Then we receive the error message (or warning) stopping us from creating a PO in SRM.
How to get the error and warning in BBP_POC?
Sincerely
Anders Öhrling

The budget check should work in the following cases
    1. When you create and change a shopping cart (e.g. after it has been held)
    2. When you create and change a purchase order (purchasing cockpit)
    3. When you create a purchase order from within the sourcing cockpit (as of SRM 2.0)
    4. With the approval of shopping carts and purchase orders
Unfortunately nr 2 is not working.
BBP_BUDGET_CHECK is not implemented.
Sincerely
Anders Öhrling

Error when creating purchase order

Hello all,
when we create a purchase order in SAP and hit the SAVE button to create it, an error screen comes up and says:
Syntax error in program "SAPLECP_PDF"
What happened?
The following syntax error occurred in the program SAPLECP_PDF:
"The TYPE-POOL "ALVT" is unknown"
Error in ABAP applicatio program.
The current ABAP program "SAPLXM06" had to be terminated because one of the statements could not be excuted.
What can I do to fix that?
Thanks
Anne

SAPLECP_PDF is pretty small (open it in SE38)
3 statements are includes for user-defined files....
Of course it interacts with the form and customizing settings and may retrieve faulty entries from there that cause finally a syntax error. But I have not seen any SAP program that got shipped with a syntax error.
sorry had overlooked this hint TYPE-POOL "ALVT" .
Now i guess that the transport from your developement system to system you get teh error was not complete.

ME21N Create Purchase Order with reference to previous Purchase Order

Hello Expert,
Previously have been using Purchase Info Records for reference when creating Purchase Orders using ME21N. We then have deleted the Pricing Condition in the Purchase Info Record using ME12. Now when we are trying to create a new Purchase Order with the same values (Vendor, Material, Plant and Storage Location), the transaction code ME21N automatically fetches the previous values of the Pricing Condition as if it was cached. I remember of studying this in the MM academy but I am not sure how to disable it.
This error only happens when we are creating the first Purchase Order after the deletion, for the second Purchase Order, error will be prompted to the user saying that the Pricing Condition could not be found.
I would like to ask where in configuration can I delete this cache behaviour or is that any work around for this.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Antony,
I found the "Update Prices" function in the Conditions Tab of the Item Details helps to refresh the data and fetch the new information from the Purchase Info Record. I would like to ask is there anyway to provoke this function automatically everytime when a user runs the transaction ME21N.
Thanks in advance again.

Update was terminated while creating purchase order from ME21N

Hi Experts,
We are getting this dump when try to create purchase order from ME21N;
Our system ECC 6.0 and IS-AFS (Apparel & Footwear Solution) V600 component has installed,
How can we prevent this error,
Regards
Here is the dump and sm21 log,
Runtime Errors         LOAD_PROGRAM_NOT_FOUND
Exception              CX_SY_PROGRAM_NOT_FOUND
Date and Time          10.10.2008 10:22:03
Short text
     Program "RMCMS431 " not found.
What happened?
     There are several possibilities:
     Error in the ABAP Application Program
     The current ABAP program "SAPLMCS4" had to be terminated because it has
     come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
     or
     Error in the SAP kernel.
     The current ABAP "SAPLMCS4" program had to be terminated because the
     ABAP processor detected an internal system error.
What can you do?
     Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
     To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
     administrator.
    Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
    at and manage termination messages, and you can also
    keep them for a long time.
Error analysis
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_PROGRAM_NOT_FOUND', was not
     caught in
    procedure "TMC2F_FROUT_CALL" "(FORM)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING
     clause.
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
    exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    On account of a branch in the program
    (CALL FUNCTION/DIALOG, external PERFORM, SUBMIT)
    or a transaction call, another ABAP/4 program
    is to be loaded, namely "RMCMS431 ".
    However, program "RMCMS431 " does not exist in the library.
    Possible reasons:
    a) Wrong program name specified in an external PERFORM or
       SUBMIT or, when defining a new transaction, a new
       dialog module or a new function module.
    b) Transport error
How to correct the error
    Check the last transports to the R/3 System.
    Are changes currently being made to the program "SAPLMCS4"?
    Has the correct program been entered in table TSTC for Transaction "ME21N "?
    If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
    find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
    If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
    keywords:
    "LOAD_PROGRAM_NOT_FOUND" "CX_SY_PROGRAM_NOT_FOUND"
    "SAPLMCS4" or "LMCS4F10"
    "TMC2F_FROUT_CALL"
    If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error
    notification to SAP, include the following information:
    1. The description of the current problem (short dump)
       To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File
    (Unconverted)".
    2. Corresponding system log
       Display the system log by calling transaction SM21.
       Restrict the time interval to 10 minutes before and five minutes
    after the short dump. Then choose "System->List->Save->Local File
    (Unconverted)".
    3. If the problem occurs in a problem of your own or a modified SAP
    program: The source code of the program
       In the editor, choose "Utilities->More
    Utilities->Upload/Download->Download".
    4. Details about the conditions under which the error occurred or which
    actions and input led to the error.
    The exception must either be prevented, caught within proedure
    "TMC2F_FROUT_CALL" "(FORM)", or its possible occurrence must be declared in the
    RAISING clause of the procedure.
    To prevent the exception, note the following:
sm21 log ;

Error when creating purchasing group.

Hi,
i am facing two issue when creating purchasing group. i never had such a situation before.
i have created two p.groups successfully and moved to quality.later i figured one of them is missing USER ID now when i try to enter user ID in user column getting below mention error.
Entry XXXX Does not exist in USR02-check your entry.message no 00058.i have checked in USR02 None of ID's exist i used in newly created groups.but ID i used in other groups has no issue even doesn't exist in USR02,but it shows value US in OB(Object type filed).
both ID's are not being created in Development in other words SAP ID's with SU01 but we never had such issue before while changing or creating now purchasing group.
Another thing i have noticed that OB(Object type field is missing in Dev.) i can see that field in Quality even in sand box but not visible in Dev.that when i use OME4.but when i use SM30-V_024 i can see the OB field.Somehow OB field is hidden when going through SPRO or ME04.
This is about Sap ver.4.7
Suggestion are much appreciated.

Hi,
Before creating new purchasing groups- 1st check your user ID is authorized to purchasing groups create in t.code: OME4.
In development system you can creates new purchasing groups with USER ID and telephone numbers, upon saving system will create a transport request. Later you can transfer related transport request to quality system for your testing.
For example: You can creates new purchasing groups with USER ID and telephone numbers
Purchasing groups-------------USER ID ---------------Telephone numbers
Z01-----------------------------------USR01------------------232569875
Z02-----------------------------------USR02------------------232589876

Deleated Valuation Type --Need Error Message while creating Purchase Order

Hi,
In our scenario , i need a message should flash , if enduser by mistake select the deleated valuation type while creating Purchase Order.
In current configuration , it's not there.
Await your expert opinion.
Regards
Shyam Kogta

I investigated this recently in our company and gave this answer:
A deletion flag does not restrict anything. It is just an indicator to tell SAP that you want this record to be deleted with the next archiving run.
The archiving run then checks if a deletion is possible or not.
So you can set such deletion flags long time in advance, even at a moment where you still have inventory.
To block materials from beeing used in business transactions, usually the material and sales status are used. But these statuses can only be set at overall, plant and sales organisation level.
In some transactions SAP issues warning messages if a material has a deletion flag. This messages could be customized to be an error and prevent any business. However, this type of restriction is not designed for our machine, as we use the material and sales status.
Anyhow, there is no message for valuation types that have a deletion flag in procurement area.
There is one for goods receipts (but only for a certain industry solution that is not used by us)
There is one for deliveries ( VL 211 ).
The valuation types are defaulted from customizing to the transaction e.g. purchase order. Or from info record to the PO. So a standard purchase order gets valuation type ABC , while an internal order (production) gets the DEF. Usually there should not be a need to change this valuation type manually.
So the only solution is to archive the material master at valuation type level.
But I guess, you already have POs with that wrong valuation type, which means you have to archive the POs first. It you have already batches with wrong valuation type, then thy have to be archived as well before a material can be archived.
And finally if you had stock in current year, then you can archive your material in year after next year, as SAP archives only materials that have no stock in current and previous year.

SAP SRM - Create Purchase Order - Item Order

Dear SAP friends,
When creating a PO (Process Purchase Order) by inserting products from catalog (SAP MDM), what is the standard system behavior on what relates to ordering products in the purchase order?
I can´t find this answer. It seems that it´s completely random.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Joã

Hi
Standard behavior is that the item from catalog should get transferred to the SRM Document along with the Vendor number as source of supply. What is the issue you are encountering?

Create purchase order from shipment cost document

Hi Experts,
I would like to know how a purchase order type is linked to a shipment cost document so as to create purchase orders automatically when I do transfer posting to the vendor from the shipment cost document. How system automatically finds out the PO type and creates purchase order.
Thanks,
Emaya

Hi,
Thanks. I have made all those mentioned changes already, and infact I am able to create purchase orders(PO Type NB) automatically when I do transfer posting, but I would like to know, why NB type only? why not some other purchase order types? Suppose if I create a new PO type by copying NB with new number ranges, how to link it to my shipment cost document?
Please comment.
Regards,Emaya

Normally create support message from SAP will make the message to be visible in incidents of solman ITSM, but we want the message to fall in problems section of ITSM in solman.
Please help.
Thanks

In 7.1 we do have dedicated services as Problem management, with the transaction type SMPR. you can create ZMPR and proceed similar to SMIN ( incident) in ITSM.
