Error when saving shipment cost document

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am facing below error

No purchase order item was generated for shipment cost item 0000001003 000001

Message no. VY633

Diagnosis

You have marked the shipment cost item for transmission to the finanacial accounting department. For this transaction, you need an order item. The system has attempted to create an order item, but has not succeeded in doing so.

System Response

Transmission of data to financial accounting without a valid order item is not possible. For this reason, all items that you have marked for transmission are reset.

Procedure

The log displays further information as to why the system could not create an order, although all the settings in Customizing were configured. You can also create an order manually that corresonds to the shipment cost

Any help can be appreciated

In that shipment cost document, a vendor would be populating for that line item. For this vendor, there is no valid open service PO for the current period. Check via ME22N or ME2N

Hi Kapildev,

I had faced the same error long back when working on my previous project. I am not able to recall the exact steps we took to correct this.

The issue is that a service PO needs to be created to be paid to the vendor (Shipment carrier) who transports the goods, once the PO is created the Shipment cost would be posted agains that PO for service entry sheet creation.

Try creating a servie PO and try transferring the shipment cost to accounting.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks

Arun
