SRM 7 Error: Plant for follow-on document missing

[Former Member]

When trying to create a shopping cart in SRM 7 extended classic, with BE 4.7, I receive the following error "Plant for follow-on document missing.

I have replicated plants (SLG1 is clean) from R3 and I have assigned them as extended attributes in the org structure.

I notice that within the shopping cart if check the default setting for the user, the plant is not showing up there in the drop down eventhough they all show fine in the org structure.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hi,

In extended attributes in ppoma_bbp, check the source system. It should be same as your backend logical system that you have maintained for your R3 backend in 'Define Backend systems'. Also check spro--> Define backend system for prodt. category.

Hi Sanjeev,

All three of these settings look fine. I am also able to compare to our Production SRM 3.0 system for these settings. Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Hi

Are procuring direct materials? or special request describe procurement?

run bbp_check_consistency report for your user for SC or PO?

Oh sorry and it's not direct materials, just describe requirement.

Hi

However you must get plant while creating sc since you maintained/inherited the plant.

can you see plant no in basic data before you order a sc

No, the plant doesn't show up on the SC. It does not even show up in the default values, if you hit F4 for plant/location in the default values (aka user favorites?) it does not find any of the plants, eventhough they show up in the org structure for the attribute assignment and they show up in table BBPLOCMAP.

strange matt.

use FM , BBP_READ_ATTRIBUTES check your user name brings plant attibute or not.

i/p user name and org struct id

o/p :- attributes inherited for user.

you can maintain plant at position levelin your org str too.

Hi,

Check using fm-bbp_get_locations_f4, if you are able to get list of locations.

The FM does bring back the plant. However, the plant values are not getting transferred into the SC or the default values for the SC.

Hi, this FM does NOT return a list of locations.

I don't know if this is a clue, but using the SRM admistration role, if I click on edit attributes in the web GUI, the drop down list for attributes is blank, this is true whether I try to do it for a user or for a department.

Hi matt

It make ensure that you did not inherit / maintain plant for that user.

please try to maintain a plant at position level via extended attribute.

Muthu, That worked!!! Why can't we maintain that attribute at a higher level and have it inherit down? This always has to be mainted at position level now? Or was this just a workaround for now?

Thanks,

Matt

Hi

We can maintain at higher level too. for eg DEPT -under all user

if you maintain at DEPT and itis applicable to all under users assigned to that dept.

It appears if I maintain at department level or higher it does NOT work, but when I maintain directly at the position level it does work.

In our current SRM 3.0 system we maintain at a higher level and it is fine so this is weird? Any idea how to make it work with inheritance?

Thanks,

Matt
