Enhancement to bypass "Source not included in list despite source list req"

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

When the indicator source list requirement is maintained in the material master, the system will only allow creation of a purchase order if the source is maintained in the source list (t-code ME01). If its missing we will get an error message when creating or chaging PO with message :"Source not included in list despite source list req".

Is there a enhancement through which we can influence the error message for PO's of type stock transfter order? I tried searching for one but couldn't find a appropriate one.

Had look at ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST & ME_PROCESS_PO also but they were not much useful.

Thank You.

Best Regards,

have you ever thought of doing this by customizing/configuration???

transaction OLME --> Source List --> Define Source List Requirement at Plant Level. De-flag that option and ... voila ...

Hi thank you very much for your useful reply. My requirement is slightly different though.

I have to avoid the error message not for entire plant but the plant and material number combination.Is there any customizing for achieving this.

In this case if the same plant and material number is used but for different PO type like standard PO(type NB) it should still show an error message as standard.But if the PO type is stock transfer order(Y2UB) then error message to be avoided.

so what you actually want is: source list is obligatory for a combination of plant / purchase order type / material number.

there's no customizing this.

actually, i have difficulties in accepting your search for an exit/enhancement because the configuration of your system does not match your business process = why do you want to avoid an error message in case of a STO scenario where the source list entry is missing?? either you have defined source lists obligatory on plant level - then see to it, that the source lists are maintained in the plant (you can mass generate it using ME05) or it is not ... in which case you will have to train your users accordingly ...

please do not take offense - none is intended - but i wonder why one would make a thing mandatory, only to circumvent the obligation by (intransparent) programming.
