Issue with the Processing of Process Messages

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have an issue with the sending the Process Messages to the destination. Some of the Process Messages are not sent to the destination. It is showing as Destination Error. When I checked the log, it is showing as below:

Material 2738650000 not found. And the detailed error message shows that the material does not exist in the system.

But the material is existing in the system. Kindly advice me what could be the issue?

Thanks

What are the process message category? Is it standard or customized one? Do you write the new code for functional module of the process messages?

It may be helpful to use conversion exit to material number (insert leading zero to 18 digits for material number) if you create process messages via ABAP program.

You didn't answer me a question on how you create process messages.

Use t-code CO54. Select process message with error. Click change. Then try select the material via drop down list. Then resend again. If the resend is successful, then I believe it is a problem on the leading zero value of material number.

Hi,

The process messages are created manually in the system.

If you create via CO57 manually, I can't understand why SAP give you such a message. I never face this problem before.

May be you can dump the screen for error message in CO54, process message display and stock overview of that material in question. Provide a link somewhere then we can analyze from there.

Hi Ayethebing

Sorry for the previous update. Actually I assumed my user had created the Process messages manually. The user said the Process Messages are created automatically in the system. I could successfully send the Process Messages now by replacing the material with another alternative material with its relevant batch, qty, storage location, reservation item and reservation number of the same process order.

But i would like to know why I could not edit the values for the same material and send the Process messages successfully. I could do it only after replacing with another material and its values of the same process order. Please advice.

Thanks

What process in your scenarios that create PI messages. I kept asking this because I believe this is the source of the problem. Do you use PI sheet inside SAP to generate process messages? Or does it come from external sources?

Please elaborate.

Hi,

We analyzed the possible cause for the error of u201CMaterial not foundu201D after debugging the program.

The issue is happening due to the reason as explained below,

A material number is of 18 char (Mara u2013 matnr ) in the standard SAP table. If the material number is numeric during the material master creation, the leading zeroes will be automatically added in the SAP table (MARA). And If the material number is alpha numeric, no leading zeroes are added in the SAP table.

So for the numeric materials, the leading zeroes will have to added in the message monitor to process that Process Message correctly.

Glad that finally you detect the problems.

Also be careful with the unit, the process message only receive the technical unit not commercial one (for example for metric ton, use t as its technical uom, and to as commercial one; you can check it via CUNI config).

Also it will be helpful to use CONVERSION_EXIT* Function for a lot of master data, such as customer, material, and vendor.
