SRM: Sourcing - PO not getting created via sourcing

[Former Member]

Dear SRM-ers,

I am facing problems while creating PO in the backend system via the sourcing cockpit.

My scenario is that when an approver SC enters the Sourcing cockpit, the user should be able to assign a vendor and proceed with creating a PO in the backend (without the bidding process).

When i click on the Create PO option i get an error, that 'some documents could not be generated or contain errors.'

Similarly in the application monitors the error is "Shopping cart 1100000204 (PO 7000000055): BBP_BD 002 An exception has occurred"

When i try to debug this via bbp_pd transaction, the details that seem fishy to me are:

SRM Purchase Requisition Document Type

BUS2012 Follow-On Document Object Type in Backend Sy

7000000055 Follow-On Document Object ID in Backend

The BUS2012 is a object ID of PO and the Document type that is getting populated is for PR (does this even matter?).

However, my current configuration is

SRM PR type (backend), SRM (PO type backend), and SRM BSA value.

PR

Number ranges 70 700000000-799999999 internal --> SRM

70 700000000-799999999 external --> Backend

PO

Number ranges 70 700000000-799999999 internal --> SRM

70 7000000000 7499999999 --> Backend for SRM PO

75 7500000000 7599999999 --> Backend for ECPO

Define Objects in Backend System:

50000006 * QAS600 3 Always external procurement 2 Purchase order if item data complete, otherwise purch. req.

Sourcing for Product categories:

30WLDC001 QAS600 3 Sourcing Carried Out for Items Without Assd Source of Supply

This is the category i am mkaing the Shopping cart for.

Warm regards.

Hi,

you have mentioned that the error is this

Similarly in the application monitors the error is "Shopping cart 1100000204 (PO 7000000055): BBP_BD 002 An exception has occurred.

Check P.o in the back end no: 7000000055 ,it is created because of the SPRO setting.

Dear Ganesh,

Well this is exactly the problem that we face, the numbers are getting generated and the documents do not exist because of the exception error.

Dear Ganesh,

I tried your solution, but with this setting the item does not appear in the Sourcing cockpit.

Again, my scenario is that i am trying to create a PO from the Sourcing cockpit by entering a vendor and not running the bidding process. However, when i click the 'Create PO' button, the system gives me the error i mentioned above.

The item from the shopping cart should come in the Sourcing cockpit and it should convert into a PO when the user clicks 'Create PO' button in the sourcing screen.

Warm regards.
