Creating SO for Matnr in PlantA, Message says Matnr doesn't exist in PlantB

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am trying to create a Sales Order for a Material which triggers a creation of Auto Purchase Requistion eventually to Purchase Order.

The Material exists in Plant A and my delivering plant for the material is also Plant A.

When i create the Sales Order for the material i get a message saying Material doesn't exist in Plant B.

I am not sure why Plant B comes into picture, Note: Plant B is one of our another plants.

Can someone provide any inputs.

Best Regards,

Bharat.

Bharat,

Check MRP2-View of the material master in Plant A, there must be a specical procurment key assigned which may be prompting to plant B. Please make this field Blank, incase there is no Special procurement happening.

Thank You Guys,

I checked all the details in Material Master (ex. Special. Proc. key, Storage location etc.) and everything looked fine.

One more thing i noticed was, if i change the material to In-house production and change some settings accordingly and then create a SO, i find no issues.

Sales Order gets created fine.

Not sure what the issue is.

Hi Guys,

We have resolved the Issue. Just wanted to update the group what the issue was and how resolved,

We checked the Auto PO flag in the ItemCategory settings and we are using that particualar ItemCategory linked to the Item Category Group in the Material for which we are creating Sales Order.

It seems if the Auto PO flag is checked and since that flag is treated as an EDI enabled one, when a Purch. Req / PO is created is gets the Plant value from the Sales Org settings in the Enterprise Structure (SPRO). In our systems that happened to be Plant B.

Hence when am trying to create a SO (Plant A) and eventually to a Purch. Req / PO it is saying the Material is not present in Plant B.

It took a while for me to digest, but that is what it is.

Best Regards,

Bharat.
