Cannot generate an IDOC related to PO Change

[Former Member]

I need help with the following issue.

When we change or delete line items in an existing Purchase Order, the system does not generate an IDOC with the changes/deletions. It always generates an idoc as if we are creating a new PO. The action reflected in the idoc is 001. When we delete all the PO line items, there is no idoc created. I was expecting that with the setup we have, we will get an idoc with action 003 reflected on it.

We have created a custom partner, port, output type while using the following values:

Message Type = ORDERS

Basic Type = ORDERS05

Partner Type = LS

Partner Function = LS

Process Code = ME10

Change message flag = Blank

Message Type - ORDCHG

Basic Type = ORDERS05

Partner Type = LS

Partner Function = LS

Process Code = ME11

Change message flag = X

Is there a setting that we need to change or are we missing something? Hope to hear your thoughts soon. Thanks!

Hi Ray,

Did you check if the related output message is getting assigned to your PO, after change? Maybe it is configured to only be issued once (which is: at PO creation)?

Hi Greg,

Yes our output message is getting assigned after the change, but it seems the system is still using process code ME10 and not the ME11.

Try checking one more config in IMG:

Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Messages -> Output Control -> Message Types -> Define Message Types for Purchase Order -> Fine-Tuned Control: Purchase Order

As far as I remember, for ORDCHG you have to add your output with both: action 1 and 2.

Hi Greg,

Yes those are setup as well.
