plant not defined

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have set up a new plant within our structure in backend srq. The idea is that we need one plant for each company we have in r3.

The plant all sems to be setup right, but when we raise and order we get the following errors:

"No Instance of object type purchaseorder has been created - external reference"

"PO Header data still faulty"

"Plant 2000 not defind (please check your input)"

"transfer failed"

Obviously with these volumes of errors, something is badly amis in our config.

Can anyone offer me any pointers on where to look for the resolution to these errors?

Many thanks!!

HI,

Thanks for your reply:

I have gone back in to R3 and built a PO directly in there.I Get the message:

Purchasing organization 2000 not responsible for plant 1000

Looking at SPRO --> Enterprise Structure --> Assignment --> Materials Management --> Assign Purchasing organization to plant

I can see:

Purchasing Org 2000 is linked to Plant 2000.

Purchasing Org 1000 is linked to Plant 1000

Is there somewhere else i need to set the responsibilities of PORG to Plant?

Many thanks

In Assign plant to company:

Company 2000

Plant 2000

No errors in status field

In assign purchasing organisation to company code I have:

POrg 2000

CoCd 2000

No errors in status field

In assign purchasing organisation to plant i have:

POrg 2000

Plnt 2000

No errors in status

the only thing i can see is that i do not have the IMG path:

Implementation Guide for R/3 Customizing (IMG) -> Enterprise Structure -> Definition -> Logistics - General> Assign plant to company code

Instead I have:

Implementation Guide for R/3 Customizing (IMG) -> Enterprise Structure ->Assignment-> Logistics - General> Assign plant to company code

does this make a difference? as far as i can see, everything else seems ok

Hi

if you could create a Purchase order for 2000 plant in ECC without any problem. you can create a PO in SRM as well since you have already transfered the 2000 plant to SRM system.

Hi Muthu,

I am getting the error "Purchasing organization 2000 not responsible for plant 1000

" in ECC as well as SRM!

I cant see anywhere in the OX range of transactions where plant 1000 is referenced to plant 2000 at all. Ive run out of places to look!

Many thanks

so you may need to this 2000 purchase organisation - 1000 plant in the above settings.

[Former Member]

Ah yes - that has indeed cleared that error! thanks for that

As with all things, that now thows up a new question!

When raising the PO in ECC, I now get the messaage "Please only use plants with company code 2000"

I get this error when I try to create a line item on the order. I have assigned the vendor to the company etc.

IN there i have CO 2000 linked to PLant 2000

and CO1000 linked to Plant 1000

Do i need to do the same cross linking CO2000 to plant 1000 and CO1000 to Plant 2000?

Thanks

[former_member183819]

so far good.

Can you create a PO there in ECC ( r/3) ?

[Former Member]

No - the PO I am attempting is in R3, I wanted to get everything working there before I attempted a PO in SRM.

I am still getting the error:

Please only use plants with company code 2000

Thanks

[former_member183819]

company code - 2000

plant - 2000

purcha - 2000

2000 plant assigned to 2000 company code

2000 plant assigned to 2000 purchase org..

-

---

company code - 1000

plant -1000

purchase org - 1000

1000 plant assigned to 1000 company code

1000 plant assigned to 1000 purchase org..

so I believe there are two sets avaialble . so you need to check where is the assignment missing.

[Former Member]

bump! no ideas?!

[former_member183819]

hI

Can you recreate the same problem in r/3 in testing environment?

i believe you create a PO in SRM and gives the above errot.

there is some plant assignment missing.

Is plant assigned to company code in the R/3 CONFIGURATION ?

Can you create a successful PO in R/3 for this plant?

-

The error message may not come from ECC it might come from only SRM.

Hope you brought plant data too in SRM . the plant data is available in BBP_locmap table and mapped them in the EXTENDED ATTRIBUTE - LOCATIONS.

Are you creating direct PO or via shopping cart and PO ?
