Encounter error message 61062 when create PR via ME51

[Former Member]

Dear Consultant,

I encountered error message 61062 - "dd.01.2011 date comes after end of valid factory calendar. (Pls correct)" when create PR via transaction ME51. Although I have changed the Delivery date to "31.12.2010", system still issue error message. FYI, material that I used to create PR has planned delivery time = 185 days (pre-configured by our purchaser via Purchasing info.record) which is equivalent to dd.01.2011. Our factory calendar is configured valid up to Year 2010 and the new year (2011) will only be configured at end of December.

If using transaction ME51N to create PR for the mentioned material above (with delivery date entered as 31.12.2010), there is no error message being issued by the system. May I know is there any solution to transaction ME51?

Pls advise asap.

Thanks & regards,

LOI

you have to maintain your plant calender for 2011 now, because of the delivery date that is determined based on the planned delivery time set in material master.

even you do not see the error in ME51N, it will certainly come up in MD04 and MRP runs (read OSS Note 549193 - FAQ: Error messages in the material requirements planning)

But I have manually change the Delivery Date to "31.12.2010", I suppose ME51 should not use "Planned delivery time" entered in ME11 - Purchasing Info Record.

May I know if there Is any effect for other modules like PP/PM on changing plant calender to 2011?

yes, a positive effect, you will not receive error messages because of missing calender anymore.

I have my calendars maintained until 2015

ME51N only takes an info record into account when you do source determination, without source determination, the planned delivery time from material master is taken.
