Dear guru's

I want change Material type ROH TO VERP.

1. I CHECK STOCK THIS IS ZERO.

2. I CLOSED ALL OPEN PO.

BUT SYSTEM SHOS ERROR.

Purchase orders exist (see below).

The two material types have either different quantity/value updating or

a different account category reference.

THANKS

Old & new type must be assigned to same account category

OR

No open PO , Stocks ,reservation etc.

closing is not enough for such change, you have to archive the old POs.

you may not need to archive old documents in any case for MMAM transaction, but some changes are that fundamental that SAP does not allow to have documents in the system.

you can easily remove the deletion indicator after you have done the material type change, this would then create inconsistencies, hence you have to make sure that this old PO is gone, and the only way for thsi is archiving.

Hi,

Check in OMS2 about the Qty & value updation for both the Material type. ROH & VERP.

Both should be same. In the mean time check the Account category reference for the Both the material type.

System is showing Purchase order open. Check properly which one is open for that Material. If there close that
