CPPR Error

[s0004552423]

Hi Experts,

We are facing an error in CPPR scenario in SRM 7.0 (SAPKIBKV03). Our back end ECC is Ehp4 (SAPKA70103).

We created a PR in ECC, did a collective processing of this PR and then transferred this PR to external system. After transfer to external system, u2018Ext sourcing statusu2019 of PR in ECC still shows u2018Send to External sourcing pendingu2019. The inbound xml message from SRM to ECC fails with the message u2018Enter Release dateu2019.

Further, when a PO is created in SRM for the shopping cart created (using this PR), the xml data fails in ECC with the error u2018follow-on document from external system not allowedu2019.

Has anyone come across this error? Any help will be helpful.

Regards,

Hello,

Your both issue are inter related, second part is simple, the status of PReq should be "Send to external sourcing Accepted" otherwise system will not allow follow on to be created from SRM.

The status is not Accepted because incoming XML failed, reason : XML is trying to update the PReq & you might have version management active, release date as mandatory. Incoming XML doesnt have this information & hence fails. Your answer is within Change PReq in ECC.

Hope this solves.

Thanks

Hi Ashutosh,

Excellant! That fixed the issue. We changed the PR setting for 'Release Date' in ECC and the scenario worked fine.

Truly appreciate your help.

Dear Ashuthosh,

We are facing the similar issue. Here version management is not active, but the Release date is mandatory.

Can you tell us how to make the release date optional. And i hope if we make release date optional this issue will be solved.
