No instance of object type PurchaseOrder has been created. External referen

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

We are on SRM 5.0 SP11, R/3 4.7 backend.

When we try to create a PO manually in SRM PO doesnot get created, but we get this error message in application monitors of RZ20 - "No instance of object type PurchaseOrder has been created. External reference: "

I have looked at the note 973952 but this is not applicable for our system.

any help on this ???

Regards,

Kumar

Hi. That is the standard error message from the PO create BAPI in R/3 when it fails to create a PO. There is normally another error generated as well that explains the real issue.

Was there not another error in the monitors underneath this error about the same cart?

Dave.

Hi Kumar

Have you maintained transaction type of manual creation of PO as ECPO in Org structure(Attribute DP_PROC_TY)?

If yes, then that is the cause of your problem.Change this value to ZEC and try to create a new PO manually.Hopefully your problem should get resolved.

Thanks

Assume you are working in ECS.

Have you activated trans type of PO in SPRO

Path:

SRM IMG >SRM>SRM server >Cross-Application Basic Settings>Define Transaction Types-->select BUS2201 PO -->tras tyee in dialog structure -->here check whether your desired trans type is active

In details of the same

check you have given internal no range (and defined in other node)

B trans cat=BUS2201

Hi,

Check the Tcode BBP_PD for the error message.

If you don't find any error message there try to push the PO manually to ERP system using the FM : BBP_PD_PO_TRANSFER_EXEC

and than check again in Tcode RZ20 and BBP_PD for the error message. I hope you will get the required information for the error message.

Hi all,

@Dinesh: I have checked all the settings mentioned by you and they are in place.

@David: the other errors following this issue are

PurchOrder 0800000024: PO header data still faulty

PO 0800000024: Document type ECPO not allowed with doc. category F (Please check input)

PurchOrder 0800000024: Item category not allowed with document type ECPO.

As suggested by Hitender, I tired to push the PO manually throgh the function module and now in RZ20 i get the error as PO 0800000024: Document number 800000024 not within defined inter val

But I checked the number ranges in both the systems and they looks fine...

This is ECS scenario:

In SRM System I have maintained the number ranges for local PO as 08 0800000001 0899999999 800000030

and in R/3 08 0800000001 0899999999 800000030 X(ext flag selected).

Please advice whether this is correct.. I have also checked the Document types item categories.....

Hi. It is trying to create PO type ECPO in ECC. Does this exist in MM config:

Materials Management > Purchasing > Purchase Orders > Define Document Types

Create it there and give it the right number range and it should be fine.

Hi David,

We have created a document type ZEC in R/3 and we have maintained the same in the org sturcture of SRM Document type in R/3 system as ZEC. I think this should not matter really.

Hi. What have you defined in the transaction types in SRM?

Go to the IMG and SRM > SRM Server > Cross Application Basic Settings > Define Transaction Types

Select purchase order and double click "Transaction Types" on the left.

It is always set up as ECPO. You can copy this entry and change it to ZEC and delete ECPO and see what happens, but it will be a lot easier to set ECC to ECPO, that is the SAP standard.

Dave.

Hi David,

We have already tried changing the document type to ECPO in backend, but the issue was still the same...

Hi. Did you get the exact same erros with ECPO?

It also said originally that item category blank was not allowed with doc type ECPO.

If you try ECPO you must also attach item category blank to it in the document type config. Just copy NB and the dependant entries is the easiest way.

Dave.
