Hi Guys,

Does anyone know how to resolve this error message?

'Field selection PT8B not defined'. I keep running into when attempting to create a purchase requistion (ME51n). When I click on help, I get this as the Diagnosis: The field selection required by the system is not defined in table 162. Further processing is currently not possible.

How would go about fixing this problem?

I would really appreciate your assistance

Thanks

Shafi

Hi

Is it PT8B? Have you created any new field selection for PR document types?

IF not check your PR document type is attached with which field selection in Puchasing -> purchase requisition -> define document types -> check your document type and field selection. Is it PT8B?

If this is not there then assign correct one in customization.

If it is then check the settings for fields selection in purchasing -> PR - screen layout at document level -> field selection PT8B.

Thanks

Hi Praveen,

I checked in customizing for PR doc type field selection is NBB not PT8B.

Then why system is throwing error " Field selection PT8B not defined".

Your response is appreciated.

Hi,

PT8B field is for Item category related field selection group. Normally, PT8K is used in Contracts with Item Cat M.

You are trying to create Purchase Requisition with Item Cat M/W, which are not allowed Item Categories for PRs. But you maintained in Configuration for PR allowed Item category M/W, and trying to use these item categories in creating PR. System searching for relevant field selection group (PT8B). To avoid this error, copy any field section PT* in PR and name it as PT8B. This way you can bypass this error.

Any issues, revert me.

Hi,

You should add it up by copying it from the master client. BTW, which client did you use? Is it IDES? Did you get the same problem before? It was of my impression that someone has deleted this standard field selection group in configuration.

Cheers,
