posting error in service entry sheet

[Former Member]

Hi

While i post the service entry sheet for purchase order with account assignment A and  item category D i get an error like posting only possible in sers storage location.

Note:No storage location is given in PO since there is material in it.

Thanks guys

It was rectified through abaper.

This A and D combination works well with all other purchasing document types but it created error in only one document type in which this service purchase order was made.

so i checked with the abaper and got it done.

00398 message has just 4 variables, no text at all.

I think this is an own development using a standard SAP message as carrier.

Check for exits or BADIs, check your functional specs and technical docs for any own development that could have caused this message

The scenario is we have procured a spare part for a crane and service charge has been payed for fixing it,The crane is in asset.

Now tell me whether it can be posted in a and d combination

[Former Member]

Please go through this :

The document type controls number assignment and the selection of fields to be maintained. You can maintain number range by configuration.

There are two types of PR . 1) Standard 2) Manual PR.

Standard PR - Usually creates through MRP run / reservation placed into network and gets indentify with the help of maintained number range in system.

Manual PR- Creates manually and we can maintained below combination of account assignment and item category as per the business requirement and as per the selected combination of account assignment and item category PO document type gets differs.

Account assignment- Blank and Item category -Blank - PO type will be standard PO (for Domestic Vendor)

Account assignment- Blank and Item category -Blank - PO type will be Import  PO (for Foreign Vendor)

Account assignment- F (Internal Order) and Item category -Blank - PO type will be standard PO

Account assignment- F (Internal Order) and Item category -D(Service) - PO type will be Service PO

Account assignment- A(Asset) and Item category -Blank - PO type will be capital PO

Account assignment- A (Internal Order) and Item category -D(Service) - PO type will be Capital PO / Service PO

Account assignment- K(Cost Center) and Item category -Blank - PO type will be standard PO

Account assignment- K(Cost Center) and Item category -D(Service) - PO type will be Service PO

In all account assignment ,G/L account will be mandatory field along with selected account assignements in PR/PO.

Hope this will clear to you.

Hi Saranya,

You can very well create service PO against asset. During IV, the expense will be booked against the asset. Nothing wrong in this. Just to confirm this i did a cycle also. But i didn't get any error like what you have mentioned.

Hi,

well please amend the PO and try to make the account assignment either w.r.t a cost centre "K" or w.r.t a WBS element "P".

Message no. 00398

There are no message text related to 00398...

It is developed by your company with the help of ABAPer.

Kindly consult with your abap team...

He will tell you what is the impact for this message..

Hi saranya

Yeah that is because Service cannot be an asset, Service is always entered into a Consumption account so the account assignment category always has to be either "K" or "P".

Regards,

Please do not free translate the messages, post it 1:1 exact, always post the message number too.

• The message number makes a message unique. T100 table has all SAP messages, my IDES system has 525756 messages for english language only. What do you think how often the same text is used with different message numbers?
• it gives  feedback that you had seen the long text of the message. You wont believe how many people are surprised that SAP has a long text to many of their messages.
• I can use this number and lookup   in SE91 to obtain which part is variable
• I can use the message number and can enter the number in SE91 and click where-used icon to get the programs and read a few lines of code to see what fields are checked when the message is issued
• I can use the message number to search SCN or  for OSS notes in SAP Marketplace
• An Abaper can use  the message number to set a breakpoint to analyse the program in detail
• message numbers with a Z in the beginning are usually homemade and you should ask your team instead posting in SCN
