AFS - Season's validity period - unable to set

[Former Member]

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to add seasonality in purchase orders, but when I try to crete a PO for the material with active seasonality, SAP gives me an error ("no season found").

I report all the steps I've made, so it's easier to find what I'm doing wrong

1. Access customizing (SPRO), Logistic - General --> Define AFS Seasons
   • Defined a season and a collection
2. Access MM01 and created a material, in tab AFS Basic Data, in tab Seasons, I added the season & collection just created and chose from the dropdown "season level" the option "Use season".

If I try to create a new PO (ME21N), it gives me the "no season found error". So I looked around (Google) and I found the transaction /AFS/SS02 (SAP Menu --> Logistics --> AFS Central Functions --> AFS Seasons --> AFS Stock Seasons --> Change) to define the validity period of season. When I try to insert a validity period for the above season/collection, when I save, it gives me this error: "Number range 01 not created for object J_4AKNUMH" and kick me out from the transaction.

What can I do to fix this issue?

EDIT: Ok, I solved the problem of adding validity period, now I set them. However, when I try to create a new PO, it still gives me a warning that "no season found"

Hi, Not sure about AFS but what I found and this will help you.

/AFS/DPRG_KOND2 - Condition Records Season Determination MM and PP

Check with creation of condition record number with : /AFS/RS02.

And check the reason 'Season not found' in MM area as below:

If the message is displayed in SD Transactions(Requirement)

• If the system did not try all key combinations that you expected, check the Season Settings of the order type.
• If the accesses are as expected but nothing was found (red light), check whether there are valid seasons for the given dates and key combination ->display requirement seasons. If an access was successful (green or yellow light), go to the details. A green lights means that the season is valid for that material; a red light means the season is not valid.
• Check the AFS Basic data view in the Material Master.

If the message is displayed in MM,PP or IM Transactions(Stock)

• If the accesses are as expected but nothing was found (red light), check whether there are valid seasons for the given dates and key combination ->Display Stock Seasons. If an access was successful (green or yellow light), go to the details. A green lights means that the season is valid for that material; a red light means the season is not valid.
• Check the AFS basic data view in the Material Master.
