Purchasing info record not found in purchasing organization XXXX

Former Member

Dear Experts,

Im trying to post a sales transaction via POS (Point of Sales) thru IDoc under the vendor consignment scenario and encountered an error stating "Purchasing info record not found in purchasing organization xxxx". IS retail is activated in our client's system. I tried searching the net and found some related discussions however it didnt solve my issue. The GI date of the transaction is well within the validity period of the info record maintained in ME11 but still it didnt detect it. Config in "Assign purchasing organization to site" is also properly maintained.

Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Kind regards,

Mark

Hi Mark,

this is just a guess, but I think I remember this problem from some time ago.

Not 100% sure, but I think besides of the consignment info record you also need an "normal" info record (type 0) for the article in the respective Purchasing Org.

Dear Tobias,

Thank you for your valuable input. As per checking the material, specifically the purchasing tab, it has a default info record which is standard (0) and I believe this is automatically created when creating an article. What i did was I also created a info record but with site as additional parameter and selected the consignment button. Take note that I used the same info record number with the default standard.

Any additional comment please.

Kind regards,

Mark

Hi,

What about the listing status?

Did you list the article as a normal listing or rack jobber listing?

if it is coming in as a vendor consignment, you will need the purchase info record (type 2) created in advance.

Hi Mark,

without having a look it is hard to say, what could be the reason for the error. Is there only one purchasing organisation assigned to the store? Or multiple?

Can you please check for your info record EINE- ESOKZ =2  any entry is there ,If not then you need to create consignment info record for the Vendor , article combination.

In the ME11 transaction after entering all your details ,below you can see radio buttons.! st ne is standard in this you need to select consignment radio button to create consignment info record.

Dear All,

Thank you so much for taking time in reading and sharing your inputs.

The sales from vendor consignment is now working though there is a problem when mixing vendor consignment articles with articles under unrestricted stocks. I'm thinking this is a bug because (1) it's working fine when i process few articles all coming from unrestricted. (2) If i process another IDoc with few articles coming from vendor consignment stocks, it is also working fine. The issue arises if i mixed them up in one IDoc. The error message looks weird like Purchasing info Rec not found in purchasing organization xxxx but the related article indicated in the error message is coming from unrestricted stocks. It also throwing an error message saying "Article  does not exist or is not fully maintained". Please take note that I used the same article in item (1) above. Take note also that we have different article numbers for vendor consignment stocks and unrestricted stocks. Am i still missing some configuration here?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Kind regards,

Mark

item3-aaaa(unrestricted)
item4-zzzz(consignment)
 
Result in the article document:
 
item1-xxxx(Consignment)
item2-yyyy(consignment)
item4-zzzz(consignment)
 
Item3 was excluded.
------------------------------------
IDOC 2 sample
 
item1-bbbb(Unrestricted)
item2-yyyy(consignment)
item3-aaaa(unrestricted)
item4-zzzz(consignment)
item5-xxxx(unrestricted)
 
Result in the article document:
 
item1-bbbb(Unrestricted)
item2-yyyy(consignment)
item4-zzzz(consignment)
 
item3 and item5 were excluded.
--------------------------
IDoc3 sample:
 
item1-bbbb(Unrestricted)
item2-yyyy(consignment)
item3-aaaa(consignment)
item4-zzzz(consignment)
item5-xxxx(consignment)
 
Result in article document:
 
item1-bbbb(Unrestricted)
item2-yyyy(consignment)
item3-aaaa(consignment)
item4-zzzz(consignment)

All are copied and appearing.

Dear All,

We tried the functionality of PI and able to find the solutions there by ensuring that whatever data loaded in it will appear in ECC based on the working scenario of the testing.
