Extended Classic: Only local Purchase Order Creating

[Former Member]

We are using SRM 7.0 SP5 extended classic scenario. The local purchase order is creating but the ERP PO is not creating. There are no errors in RZ20, ST22 or SLG1.

I can't even tell if it is trying to create a backend document. I set a break in the CREATE_DOCUMENT method where the BAP_PO_CREATE1 FM is called but the break never gets hit.

Hi Paul,

Please do a sanity check.

In SPRO check the Define backend system for product category. It shouldnt be local.

Check if the Activate Extended Classic Scenario in spro is checked.

How are you trying to create the PO. Through sourcing or manually. If its manual you should also check the BADI BBP_EXTLOCALPO_BADI

Hope that helps

Azad,

Thanks for your answer. I did not realize that in exteneded classic the local PO is created first and that the backend po only gets created once PO has been sent out.

For anyone else having this problem this is what I found:

When I edit the local PO and order the PO after fixing an output problem, (PO is setup for no approval) , I was then able to see the backend errors appear on the PO infoming me of what when wrong when the sytem attempted to create the ERP PO.

Also, you can debug from program B46B_DPO_TRANSFER...set a break on line 393, just before the BBP_PO_INBOUND function module is called. Also that function module in the ERP system calls the BBP_PO_CREATE1 BAPI.

All this information has helped me answer my question....thanks for everyones help!

What is your back end system release? If you are on EhP4 and with relevant business function activated and also in SRM SPRO the 'define back end system = Ecc6 with EhP4, then your PO will be transfered thru PI. Please check SXMB_MONI for any message.
