SRM7.0 - PO status issue in ECS

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are observing status (Tracking-Status) of ECS POs is always "In Transfer to Execution system". Can some body help me in analysing why is it so?.

We are working on SRM7.0-SP03 and we are observing above mentioned issue only in Extended Classic Scenario POs. We are not having any issues with replication of POS to ECC and creation of follow-on documents. This is fyi.

Regards,

GM

SAP Note 1366608 - PO status remains in "In Transfer to

Execution Syst."

Symptom

Sometimes the Purchase Orders (POs) in extended classic scenario (ECS)

remain "In Transfer to Execution Syst." status. Because of which the "Edit"

button is not visible in purchase order. Also, no confirmation or invoice

can be created.

Steps to reproduce the symptom:

1. Check the flag "Enable Consistency Checks in Back-End"

in ECS customizing (SPRO).

2. Create a new PO / Copy the existing ECS PO.

3. Click on "Check" button.

4. Click on "Order" button.

5. Check that the PO is successfully replicated to R/3.

6. Check the status of the PO in SRM side. The status of the PO will be

shown as "Ordered" when opened from portal. However, the intermediate

status "In transfer to Execution System" will be active which can be seen

in "Tracking" tab of PO.

In standard, when an ECS purchase order is successfully replicated to ERP

system the status "In transfer to Execution System" of ECS PO on SRM side

should become inactive.

Cause and Prerequisites

The problem is due to a program error.

The RFC sessions which are opened during the backend checks (with test run

- ON) are not closed properly, because of which the locks on PO objects on

ERP side are not deleted.

Backend Consistency Checks should be active in SRM.

Solution

Implement the attached automatic corrections using SAP Note assistant or

import the corresponding Support Package.

Hi,

This usually happens when the SRM PO is not updated with the backend PO information. Could you check if there id any error in RZ20?.

Could you also check if in SPRO -> SRM -> SRM Server ->Technical Basic Settings -> Set Control Parameters .

These could be good starting points for analysis.

HI Azad,

There are no errors displayed in RZ20 for the subject POS and Set control parameters are also correctly configured.
