Purchase Order Inconsistency

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have very strange problem with some of purchase orders.

I create the purchase order and saved it.

When i tried to chenge purchase order system does not respond and dont allow me to save the order.

Transaction gets locked which can be seen in SM12 tcode also.

Also when i tried to release the PO system again performs the same way and trasaction gets locked.

I checked the release strategy, customization, material and vendor master, also the authorizations..

Basis person also checked it but couldnt able to locate any specific reason.

In every PO i faced the problem Material and Vendor is same.

Waht could be the reason thet transactions are getting locked when working with these POs , any specific things to be checked , configuration, or Notes to be applied.

Please guide me in this as i am not able to process these very important POs.

Best Regards,

Kapil

Hi

This scenario occurs when ever material master or vendor masteris refered by other use for creating a purchase order or if you are using same combination of vendor and material to create purchase order in another SAP screen then system gets locked. so wait for sometime before you recreate purchase order for same material and vendor combination .

hope it helps

Thanks and appreciate your quick reply,

But no other user is processing this master data and it never save the document after few hours also.

It just gets locked every time when i release/change this PO.

Experts Pankaj, Hemlatha awaiting your experts comments on this issue.

do you use userexits?

if not, then report it as error to SAP, they will logon to your system and can find the root cause.
