Vendor's in SRM - Purchasing block automatically

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

SRM 5.5 -Extended Classic Scenario

We have multiple backend r/3 system attached to our SRM system.

Though the vendor is not blocked in the backend system, For Some Unknown reason - the vendors are automatically getting purchasing block for all the vendors ?

Kindly advice for a solution.

Thanks and regards,

unless there is a change in ECC , it will not make a blockin SRM.

Are internal numbe range in SRM or external number range for vendor master.

how the sync is happening in your system BBP_VEND_SYNC job. i am pretty sure it should not lock SRM unless you edit the data in ECC

Hello Anil,

Check with XK03 R/3 transaction account changes for vendors concerned. Follow menu Environment > Account changes > All fields.

This will tell you if any purchasing block was set or not at one moment.

Do you have any vendor replication report scheduled in your system ( BBP_VENDOR_SYNC or BBP_VENDOR_UPDATE_DATA_JOB ) ?

If yes, check what is the user executing the job in SM37.

Finally, check if vendors in SRM were updated by this user. For this, have a look at fields CHUSR, CHDAT and CHTIM from table BUT000. If it is the same user, update was done automatically.

If user is different, this means this user made directly modification in SRM.

This check is for central block (all purchasing organizations). I guess for one particular purchasing organization block, you can do the same (in table BBPM_BUT_FRG0061, you don't have info regarding user, date and time modifications).

You can also check with logs from SLG1 transaction if report is scheduled.

Regards.

Laurent.
