SRM Creating Duplicate PO

[Former Member]

Here is my scenario:

-SRM 7.01

-Classic Scenario

-Create and approve shopping cart having two lines, each to different supplier.

-CLEAN_REQREQ_UP returns message "SRM / BE Item mismatch in SC."

-Line 10 created two purchase orders in the backend SAP R/3 system, duplicates.

-Line 20 failed to created a backend purchase order.

-Status of line 10 updated with the last purchase order created, and is ready for goods receipt.

-No runtime errors in ST22, no applications errors in SLG1.

Why is SRM creating a duplicate purchase order for the same supplier on the first line, and failing to do anything with the second line? I can reproduce this with any supplier, as long as I have a shopping cart with multiple suppliers. There does not appear to be anything wrong with the supplier - I can create a shopping cart and purchase order with any supplier if it is the only one on the request. But, as soon as I include more than one supplier on the shopping cart I get this unexpected result. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I need to provide more information.

Thank you!

Problem has been solved. OSS 1427694. They didn't make this one easy to find.

Hi Cliff

Thanks very much. your SAP note helped one of my friends .

appreciated your help.

You create a shopping cart with more than one item with different assigned vendors. However, when you transfer the shopping cart, only one PO is getting created.

Is this happened for catalog items?

Yes, the same supplier is assigned to both backend purchase orders. It is the supplier from line 10. The purchase orders are duplicates.

The second shopping cart was included to show that there does not seem to be a problem with the supplier or the item being procured, they are the same as line 20 of the first example where it is failing.

I checked header and item link data in BBP_PD. The information is only relevant to the first purchase order created for line 10. No reference to line 20.

Thanks!

Hello Thomson,

Could you let me know whether the same supplier is being maintained for the 2 purchase orders in the backend system..?

Best Regards,

The spool produced after CLEAN_REQREQ_UP finishes only includes "SRM / BE Item mismatch in SC."

It is indeed a duplicate purchase order. There are no errors reported in RZ20 for B2B procurement monitors.

SC 1000000001

Line 10, supplier A

Status = follow-on document created

Purchase order 4000000001

Yet, in SAP R/3 a search reveals an identical second purchase order was created, 4000000002.

Line 20, supplier B

Status = approved

No entries in BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB

It was not transferred, and no purchase order was assigned.

SC 1000000002

Line 10, supplier B

Status = follow-on document created

Purchase order 4000000003

The problem seems to be persistant with shopping carts having multiple suppliers only.

Thanks!

kindly check --> header and item link in bbp_pd for the shopping cart

It happens anytime I have a shopping cart in SRM with multiple suppliers. I do have entries in BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB as expected, showing two purchase orders will be transferred. But, a review of these orders shows they are duplicates, and for the same vendor, and for the same SRM order line. I am not getting a purchase order for the other line. There is no chance anyone is updating the purchase orders. I am creating them myself in a test environment.

Thanks!

Hi

i dont see any job spool to help you further.

ok. it is not duplicate .indeed PO numbers would have created in SRM system.

go to monitor shopping cart and click the follow on document and see the error in rz20 or application monitor after 5 minutes. now you must get an meaning ful error .

update here what is the error message for that shopping cart. since this shopping cart has some bad data , the real PO was not created. if you know the error we can correct the bad data and submit the cart again and turn to PO.

afterward run the clean job for only this sc. will see

Hi

is it happening only one Purchase order?

SRM / BE Item mismatch in SC - clearly says ..

hope you might get entry in bbp_docuement_tab entry.

before run the job clean job , buyer might edited the PO. is it so ? erorr message clearly says..
