Creating Confirmation as professional purchaser not possible

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am running SRM 7.0 in the extended classic scenario.

I am having trouble creating confirmations as a professional purchaser.

1. I go to the purchasing tab

2. in the Detailed Navigation on the left side I select u2018purchasingu2019

3. When select confirmation under the u2018create new documentu2019 section the search screen opens up,

4. I search for PO without any restriction, but none of the correctly ordered Pos show up to select

The same thing happens when do the following in the professional purchasers screen:

1. Under u2018active queriesu2019 I choose u2018Confirmation u2013 Allu2019

2. hit the button u2018Create confirmationu2019

3. section the search screen opens up,

4. I search for PO without any restriction, but none of the correctly ordered Pos show up to select

Also when I try to do the u2018Create with referenceu2019 for a successfully ordered PO. The confirmation option is greyed out.

The entry of invoices behaves similar.

HOWEVER, if I enter a confirmation or an invoice from the u2018employee self-serviceu2019 area under the confirmation/invoice tab it works perfectly ok. The search help displays all the correct POs and I can create confirmation/invoices referencing them.

The user I am using has SAP_ALL.

Can anybody kindly help me?

Cheers

Hi Ulrike,

Did you confige your back-end system(s) where EBP needs to lookup the Purchase Order documents in your organisational plan? Configure the 'SYS' (System Alias) attribute and it should work.

Kind regards,
