Please do not free translate the messages, post it 1:1 exact, always post the message number too.

• The message number makes a message unique. T100 table has all SAP messages, my IDES system has 525756 messages for english language only. What do you think how often the same text is used with different message numbers?
• it gives feedback that you had seen the long text of the message. You wont believe how many people are surprised that SAP has a long text to many of their messages.
• the number can be used to check in SE91 which part is a variable
• further you can enter the number in SE91 and click where-used icon to get to the programs and where you can read a few lines of code to see what fields are checked when the message is issued
• the message number can be used to search content in SCN or for OSS notes in SAP Marketplace
• An Abaper can use the message number to set a breakpoint to analyse the program in detail
• message numbers with a Z in the beginning are usually homemade and you should ask your team instead posting in SCN

Hello Jurgen,

sorry to mention the message no and it was

Message no. M7873

I already got a document form the portal from Leo Thilak.

In that he mentioned in MIGO select Goods receipt-----select purchase order-----then select Non ordered item-------then enter material,plant,vendor and quantity.

But after entering all this data I landed with the message saying that mvt 161 not allowed.

you see that your posted message: *161 mvt avaliable with this transaction*

is quite different from the original: Movement type 161 is not allowed

The document you are referencing is:

https://blogs.sap.com/2013/12/24/automatic-purchase-order-creation-for-return-delivery/

If you are talking about a document you found then you should add a link to it.

Myself resolved the issue.

I added vendor no in 161 movement type screen.

Many thanks for your support.

This message looks like you have not done your customizing, please compare screenshot for screenshot with your own data and see where the difference is. The blog is actually an evidence that it was possible for Leo

@Anshul Rathi,

In that document he mentioned no need to create return PO, after 161 Mvt return Purchase order will be created automatically.

Search term I used *Automatic purchase order creation for return delivery*
