Workflow Error Purchase Order

Hi Experts,
my issue is the following: We try to create a purchase order in SRM with a local mapped category (mapped to the local srm system) and depending on the user the target system should be overwritten in BADI bbp_determine_logsys to get the purchase order in the respective backend.
The idea is to use all categories centrally and map them depending on the purchasers origin country.
The question is that ...
If we map the category to the backend system of the purchaser and try to transfer the purchase order, there will be no error (not in RZ20 or anything) - of course also the direct way with the FU bbp_procdoc_tansfer will work.
If we map the category as it should be to the local srm system - the workflow transfer won't work anymore and we got an error message in RZ20 with the following text: Error reading the export data for EXEC transfer of purchase order <PO No.>.
The very strange thing is, that even in this case with the FU bbp_procdoc_transfer the purchase order can be transferred to the backend of the respective user and it will switch the locally mapped backend to the purchaser / users one.
Could anyone imagine what might be a problem - is there any check in the workflow itself what raises the exception and aborts the workflow.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Timo

I am not sure if this is gonna help you..

MIGO error 'Purchase Order does not contain a confirmation control key'

Hi,
while posting GR to a PO i am getting an error ' Purchase order XXXXXXXXX does not contain a confirmation control key'
it is true that i have not defined any confirmation control key in PO, Aknowled rerd checkbox is also not ticked
Still why this message coming, what setting would be bringing this message
Please clarity

Hi,
Until the installation of Note 589422 (with SP SAPKH46C43) you could due to a program error - create a delivery even though the purchase order did not contain any confirmation control key.
This is now prevented through error message M7394. The transfer of this check (Confirmation control key existing in the purchase order, see Note 589422) was necessary as otherwise you could post a purchase order as desired. (Refer to also Note 616944 -> SAPKH46C44)
589422 Several inbound deliveries can be created with MIGO :
"Implement the program correction.
With Transaction SE91 create message M7394 with the message text:
Purchase order & & does not contain a confirmation control key".
After you implemented this correction, when you want to create an
inbound delivery with Transaction MB01 or MIGO or with
BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE and if the purchase order does not contain a
confirmation control key the system displays error message M7394
"Purchase order & & does not contain a confirmation control key".
Hope this can explain the error you met.

Creating workflow for purchase order release.

Hi friends
I want step by step detail about creation of workflow for purchase order release..
After release purchase order it will goes to the two level of approval..
after that the workflow should be completed...
how can i develope the workflow for that scenario..
Thanks
Gowrishankar

Hi Gowrishankar,
You can get step by step workflow for PO using standard workflow
Release of Purchase Order :WS20000075
And for two levels of approvals you have to configure in SPRO the path is
Purchase Order:
SPRO> Material Management->Purchasing->/Purchase order-->Release procedure ---> Procedure with classification ---> set up procedure with classification ---> double click on Release strategies and Workflow.
If you don't know about this configuration, you have to confirm with your MM consultant.
Thanks and Regards,

Workflow for Purchase order

Hi,
Can anyone let me know the steps to activate workflow for purchase order so that workflow will be triggered after creation of PO and for any modification done after release.
What are the customization and tcodes required for PO workflow and is there any technical involvement requires.
Thanks in advance!
Karun

Hi
I took it from sdn.
WORKFLOW FOR PO RELEASE PROCEDURE
Steps involved are :
1) SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Release Codes > here assign Workflow indicator as "1" against each Release Code
2) SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Workflow > Here against each release code assign OT as US and respective User ID's for Release Codes.
3) Go to OOCU > here under MM, go to MM-PUR,
4) Click on "activate event linking"
5) Go for "WS 20000075" and for BUS2012 RELEASESTEPCREATED, click on Detailed view button. Activate "Event linkage activated" and also activate "Enable usage of event queue"
and Save.
6) Click on "Assign agents" and proceed all above steps.
BUS2012 is the relevant business object and Releasestep created is the event for the same.
7) Check SWETYPV transaction for the WF you have activated for BUS2012 and confirm.
Test the same by creating a PO and check the SBWP for SAP Mail of respective Users

Standard n-step approval workflow for Purchase Order in sap 4.7?

Hello friend,
In SAP 4.7 there is any standard template for n-step approval workflow for Purchase Order.
thanks in advance.

Hi AM,
there is no std template for n-step approvals but for Single Release.
What you could do is create a custom one as per the number of approvals for PO.
Also note a PO Release Strategy can handle only 8 levels of approval.
Hope it helps.

Problem with WorkFlow of Purchase Orders related to non active employees

Dear all,
We are running into issues with the WorkFlow when people are linked to a PO who are not anymore an active employee. That will give problems in the workflow as those people are logically not going to goods receipt/invoice reciept/approve those invoices.
How should we deal with this problem?
We are thinking about a solution like creating an overview of ALL purchase orders (without Goods Receipt) in which the creator, project manager or project sponsor of that specific PO is not anymore an active employee.
Could someone please advise the right solution?
Thanks in advance.

Experts? Anyone?

Error: Purchase order 4500000830 has no items in mb1b 541

Hi All,
I have created a Sub contracting Purchase Order with ITem Category L and Account Assignment E.
Now iam getting problem while issuing Stock to Subcontractor thru MB1B 541 Mov type. It is throwing error like Purchase order 4500000830 has no items.
Scenario is My client creates pos based on Sales order only. Now he want to Issue stock to Subcontractors based on sales order.
for this, I created Semifinished material, two raw components, Sales order for Semifinished material and maintained bom for semifinished.
Please go thru this and suggest.
Reg,
Ashok

Hi,
Did u checked the link provided by me. As per SAP, it is not possible to post 541 stock of material provided to vendor in subcontracting with account assignment sales orde or project stock.
If you want to differentiate, use a separate storage location and transfer the stocks there. When you do the GR, the components issue happens directly from your storage location from sales order stock.
Since the components are not transferred to the "stock of material provided to vendor", we recommend that you use a transfer posting to transfer the provided components to a new storage location (for example, 9999). This enables you to obtain an overview of those stocks that are physically located at the subcontractor. This information is particularly important when you carry out a physical inventory of the sales order stocks and project stocks.
If you want to provide material from your stock,
For components that are managed in sales order stock or project stock, you can define whether the components are to be withdrawn directly from each sales order/project stock or from the stock of material provided to vendor. You manage this via the dependent requirements indicator for individual customer requirements and collective requirements (MARC-SBDKZ).
You can maintain this indicator in the following places:
in the MRP view of the material master record (MRP 4)
in the explosion types for the BOM item (in Customizing for Production in the step Basic Data -> Bill of Material -> Item Data -> Define explosion types)
Configuring the explosion types has priority over the configuration in Inventory Management.
If the indicator is set at Collective requirements only (2), the materials are withdrawn from the stock of material provided to vendor. If this indicator is set any other way, the system withdraws materials from sales order stock or project stock.

Ramakrishna

BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE giving error purchase order is locked by user

Hi
1. Check all the call is handled the release function(JCO.releaseClient(client)) for each call.
2. And check in finally
finally {
     try {
     if (client != null) {
       JCO.removeClientPool(SID);
       JCO.releaseClient(client);
     if(client.isAlive()){
          client.disconnect();
       JCO.releaseClient(client);                    }
     } catch (JCO.Exception ex) { }

Workflow in Purchase Order / Purchase Requisition

Hello guys,
My client has a requirement that there will be release strategy applied on Purchase Order. this will be one level approval.
But the approver should have ability to add an adhoc approver for this Purchase Order.
Can anyone tell me how this can be done using Release strategy with Workflow?
Thanks in advance.

The logic will be same. Do you need regularly ?
It has to do by customizing ,It does not automatically insert ad hoc approvers into the workflow. When necessary, you may manually insert an ad hoc approver between you and another approver remaining in the approval workflow. You can look up the user ID of an ad hoc approver Be sure to select the correct ad hoc approver from the list to route the PO correctly.

Workflow for Purchase Order Form?

I am setting up a paperless Purchase Order system at my company.
A Purchase Order form has been created in Acrobat with spaces for 4 digital signatures.
There is a network filesystem where a copy of the form can be stored and completed copies of the form placed. Preferably, a copy of the form will be retrieved from the server, then emailed through the signature process.
The Workflow:
1. A user obtains a copy of the PO form, fills it out, digitally signs the form and sends it to their supervisor for approval by email (preferred) or by placing the form in a shared directory.
2. The supervisor digitally signs the PO and sends it to their Manager.
3, The Manager digitally signs the PO and sends it to the approval authority.
4. The approval authority digitally signs the PO and forwards the form to the purchasing department for placement.
There are about 100 users, 20 supervisors, 5 Managers and 1 Approval Authority.
How would this workflow be implemented? What I have found so far is examples where 1 form is distributed to a number of people, filled out and returned, collated and reviewed. I been unable to find any examples of this type of workflow.
Any suggestions?
Dennis

It's not that difficult. I think there is only one entry for the object and event you use in your workflow.
If you would have done a little searching in this forum you would have had your answer already.
