PO acknowledgement: entry shown in transaction ME2A but no suitable documents found in transaction ME92F

[j_madariaga]

Hi, gurus!

We have customized the acknowledgement confirmation:

MM=>Purchasing=>Confirmations

      =>Define internal confirmation categories (order acknowledgment, AB)

      =>Set-up confirmation control

      =>etc.

And assigned the corresponding entry in transaction NACR, application EF, output type AUFB.

We also maintained in info record field "Conf.ctrl" with 0001 and marked the flag "Ackn.Rqd".

When the PO is created, the information is retrieved correctly to tab "Confirmations" (that is to say, conf.control = 0001 and Acknowl.Reqd flag is marked).

Later, we ran transaction ME2A using the PO as selection criteria. And the monitor shows that PO.

Finally, we ran transaction ME92F using the PO as selection criterio. And a message is raised: "No suitable purchasing documents found".

Shouldn't it also the PO be shown in the latter?

We have been struggling with it (modifying the selection criteria, etc.). Strangely enough, it seems to happen with some purchasing organizations but not with others.

Could anybody give us a clue?

Thanks in advance,

Hi J,

Please check the monitoring period setup for "confirmation control key"

If you set the parameter to 2 days and the reference date is set to 'delivery date minus monitoring period', the confirmation must arrive 2 days prior to the delivery date. If no confirmation has been received by then, in that case only the PO item will appear in the analyses for the monitoring and follow-up of confirmations in ME92F.

We have not find the solution yet.

I suppose it is related to some master data. I guess we have reviewed all the steps (info record, vendor master data, ...)

Anyway, we will go through all the process again and debug the program of transaction ME92F.

I will keep you posted in case we meet the solution (and it is not related to master data).

Thanks to everybody,

J

Hi,

You are using print output 1 and date/time as 4 in the condition records.

Can you change date/time to 3. Also maintain output device and no of messages in communication tab in condition records.

Give it a try and let me know.

[j_madariaga]

We changed it to 3. Unfortunately, it did not work properly

Hi,

For order acknowledgement - did you configure standard message type AUFB or you have custom message type ZUFB (or any other message type) and did you have one of this message type placed properly in your PO message schema?

[j_madariaga]

It corresponds to standard message AUFB

Did you cut off your selection screen screenshot or do you really have nothing more on the selection screen?

There is a checkbox to run a diagnosis which is supposed to give you a bit more details, see OSS note 369948 which delivered this functionality

[j_madariaga]

Nothing else in the selection. And for sure we tried any possible selection criteria (blank, with the purchasing organization populated, etc.)

We had a look at the OSS note you mentioned. But we met no success: although we marked the "Activate Diagnosis Output" falag, no additional information was shown in the log.

In fact, the same message (ME260) is raised: "no suitable purchasing documents". Report RM06ENMA, line 556.

Later, the program checks if the flag "Activate Diagnosis Output" is marked (line 1214) and goes on.

Seemingly the diagnosis is available provided there are suitable documents.

We will keep researching with the ABAPer.

Thanks,

Hi,

Also check if the PO is released or not?

Thanks,

[j_madariaga]

Release procedure is not assigned to this type of POs.

Yes, we tried including the delivery date as reference date, and also with reference date in blank, with an earlier date and with a later date.

[JL23]

Have there been any changes after the initial output of the PO?

Are condition records maintained for AUFB?

[j_madariaga]

No changes in the PO.

Condition records have been defined and they are based on the document type

Quite weird, as the message is correctly assigned to other PO (same vendor extended to other purchasing organization and same material extended to other plant)

Hi,

Please check whether the acknowledgement required indicator is ticked in the PO item.

Thanks,

Dipankar

[j_madariaga]

Yes, I confirm that in "Confirmations" tab (at item level), the flag indicating that the acknowledgement is required is marked.

Best regards,

Can you share the screen shot of ME2A?

[former_member234835]

This message was moderated.

[j_madariaga]

Sure, here it is the selection of ME2A.

And the result

Same selection for ME92F (we tested with and w/o reference date)

Best regards,

J

[j_madariaga]

Sorry, I forgot including the confirmation tab.
