Two PO's against one PR

[Former Member]

Hi,

The system has generated two purchase orders against a purchase requisition. The purchase requisition quantity is '1'

The first order has OPEN QUANTITY as '0' and has no data in it's CUSTOMER DATA TAB in the PO

The second order has OPEN QUANTITY as 1 and has data in it's CUSTOMER DATA TAB in the PO (The sales order number and there is a service order associated with the sales order)

The two PO's have been created within very short time frame interval (may just one minute as seen from the DATE/TIME stamp)

When I click on the purchase requisition in the Purchase order..I am seeing that both the orders are linked with the same purchase requisition with each of quantity of 1

can anyone let me know how two orders are created?

Thanks,

SS

How do you create POs?

ME57 or ME59 or ME21N?

Probably 2 buyers selected the same PR to process it.

If you have not set the messages 06076 and 06400 to "E", then SAP will allow that one PR can be processed several times

Hi Jurgen,

The E is set.I have checked in SE91

Please correct my interpretation:

The service order on saving , generated the PR. This PR is supposed to have quantity of 1 and should get converted to PO

But again some changes were made to the service order (scheduling , account, location change) and RELEASED which updated the PR

The PR is now getting converted to two PO's showing the history from Execution stand point of view (One PO reflects the changes before release and second PO after release)

I am guessing so because in the PR, the two PO quantities are shown as '1' each but in the PO screen, one of the PO has quantity of 0 and the other has 1

The quantity of 0 is shown in the PO because however no of PO's get created, only one should have the quanity which is matching with the service order quanity

Thanks

I can't tell you anything about services, I am not familiar with service processes.

I know that the message setting did not work right away in 46c as there was a program bug.

Please see OSS note 315448

I see that in the service order (IW33), there were some changes made in with respect to scheduling , Account and Location and statuses were reset from RELEASED to CRTD

can anyone let me know how two orders are created?
