SAP is treating my Std PO as STO

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am facing a peculiar problem. I think there is some mistake in config. due to which  I am getting such problem.

While creating a stad. PO in ME21N for Procuring a finished good(FG1) from external vendor (VEND) to plant (PLNT) Storage loc(6000-finished goods). the PO is created successfully. But while doing PGR against that PO it's showing error PL stock in transit exceeds.

I believe this error is due to SAP is considers it as STO. But I created a std. PO.

Can you please suggest where am I doing wrong?

Thanks & Regards

Hi pratyusa

Check in your vendor master using tcode XK02, in purchasing view, menubar extras > additional purchasing data >  is there any plant assigned or not? If assigned remove it and re do the process

Hi Satish,

Thanks for your quick reply.

You are right my plant PLNT wass assigned there. I removed it and reprocessed but still it's the same error.

One thing what exactly mean this assignment? Can you plz explain a bit.

Thanks & Regards

What did you reprocess, just the receipt or entire chain.

Just the receipt may not work, because the PO has got some indicators from this vendor assignment. Hence you need to create a new PO.

I am on ECC6, and i dont find anywhere in vendor master to mark a vendor as plant, I could only find data retention as VSR or plant level !! Is it an older or newer feature?

stay in change mode in vendor purchasing organization view, choose from menu Extras  > Add. purchasing data.

in the pop-up tight in the middle you can assign a plant, which updates internally table T001W and is used for stock transfer orders.

HI Pratyusha

Please re-do the entire cycle and try again it will definitely work.

Even though in OMFK it is optional entry in addl purchase data, I am getting only data retention as plant level allowed , data retention at VSR allowed.. ..

Hi,

Go to Basic data 1 and click the additional data and go to the unit of measurement tab and check.

for stock in Transit pls check in MB5T.

the stock in transit for the plant in MMBE.

may be previously have made delivery against same material and right now archived or may be already posted. so pls inspect first.

Hi Pratyusha,

A quick question, just cross check is it happening for all materials?

If so, please check if in document types MM-->Purchasing-->PO-->define doc type.

Check in control field if T is there

Regrads,

Item Category: blank-standard

[Former Member]

Hi Ajit,

It's maintained as F-External procurement

Why u r creating Purchase order for finished material??? For vendor it might ne the finished material, but since u r buying it should be either raw material (ROH) or trading goods )HAWA)..
