Problems by creation/transfer of PO

[Former Member]

Hello all,

we are implementing SRM 4.0 with CCM 2.0 in extended classic scenario.

After a SC was approved a follow-on PO was created. In transaction RZ20 are these error messages for this follow-on-document:

Backend application errors: Purchase order 7100000020: Please enter an input tax code, not an output tax code

Output errors: Output error in purchase order 7100000020 for output medium PRN

I have also checked transaction BBP_PD and there are these alerst listed:

Monitor Purchase Order\Backend application errors

Time 13:11:06

Message ID BBP_ADMIN 084

Argument 2 7100000020

Argument 3 Please enter an input tax code, not an output tax

Argument 4 code

Argument 3 Purchase order still contains faulty items

Argument 4 BBP_PD_PO_TRANSFER_EXEC

Time 13:22:15

Message ID BBP_ADMIN 062

Message text Output error in purchase order &1 for output medium &3

Argument 1 7100000020

Argument 2 L4{oH457q2ZX00002bd48G

Argument 3 PRN

Argument 4

The stats in BBP_PD for this PO are:

Stats:

Status Description Inactiv

HEADER I1009 Held X

HEADER I1015 Awaiting Approval X

HEADER I1021 Created

HEADER I1038 Complete

HEADER I1039 Incomplete X

HEADER I1043 Ordered

HEADER I1080 In Transfer to Execution Syst. X

HEADER I1132 Transfer Failed (E.Sys.)

HEADER I1180 Document Completed

In transaction SM58 is no error message listed.

Probably this error messages are result of a lousy maintainance but i had before 3 months really no experience with SRM and I have implemented SRM under the guidance of the SRM-Books of Jim Stewart and Shaz Khan and there I could not find any instructions for maintaining master data. So please feel not disturbed if these errors are obvious but in my company there is nobody who can help me. So I would appreciate your it a lot if somebody can say me where I can check what is wrong with my PO.

In forward many thanks.

Hi Bernd

You might have entered the output tax code while creating the PO in SRM. Check with your finance team for the avialable input tax codes and assign the same in PO.

Vendor might have not been maintained for the output medium PRN, or in the Output method for the PO might have not been selected while creating the PO in SRM.

Check the output tab in the header data of the PO in SRM (process purchase order screen)

Hi Reddy,

thank you for your answer.

Can you explain me where i can enter a output tax code in EBP/SRM and where i could assign input tax code. I am implementing a SRM-prototyp therefor no finance team is involved.

Do I have to maintain vendor for output medium? If yes please tell me where i should do this.

Do you mean bbp_pd with process purchase order screen? If yes, this is the bbp_pd-header of my document.

Header:

GUID 6847B2440347D328E10000000A59C421

Object_ID 7100000020

Object_Type BUS2201 EC Purchase Order

Process_Type ECPO Purchase Order

Flow control: 5 Confirmation and Invoice Expected

Version type Active Document

Hi Bernd

For Tax code: SPRO-SRM Server-Cross Application Basic settings-Tax calculation

For maintaing output medium for vendor, go to Tx code BP, enter the vendor BP number, select the purchasing data...

Recommended if you update the vendor from R3 using Tx code BBPUPDVD. (in the address tab of R3 XK01, you can maitnain the output medium in the communication tab)
