Account assignment not updated in SRM's shopping cart when changes are made in ERP's PO - Classic Scenario

[Former Member]

Hello!

A customer has classic scenario and creates shopping carts using only cost center as account assignments in SRM.

When the PO is created in ERP's backend, sometimes a purchaser changes the account assignment to Asset("A").

The account assignment changed in ERP is not reflecting in the shopping cart and the result is that the requester can not make a goods receipt in SRM because the account assignment does not match the PO.

Does anybody knows what shall be done so the account assignment in SRM is updated according to ERP?

Shall I use BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Karin

Hello Pratap,

The system is not allowing to post a confirmation because the cost center is not matching.

I will add the possibility to choose account assignment A in PPOM_BBP and check if this solves the issue.

Thanks!

Hi Karin,

That could be a valid error. Usually the profit centers used on the asset and the associated cost center etc should match. Check with your master data team or your FI team on this.

Hi Karin,

As Mithun rightly said, the changes made to the PO will not be reflected in the SC not just in Classic but in Extended Classic Scenario as well.

We create a Confirmation against a PO and not against SC, so it is not necessary that the SC needs to be updated.

Is the system allowing the creation of the Confirmation or is the error coming up when the confirmation is being posted on the backend system?

Can you check the SLG1 in SRM for the error that it is triggering when the PO is changed?

Hi Karin,

Usually the process is one way and the SC is not updated with the changes made to the PO. The SC cannot be changed after it has been approved which is what triggers the creation of the PO.
