If a purchase requisition already exists for an item then system should give warning message

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Is there any standard configuration for showing the user a warning message if while creating a purchase requisition for an item for which one purchase requisition already exits ??

kindly help,

This will not work. Message 06 401 is only used and processed if the purchase requisition number is entered manually (no automatic internal number)

You have to do your own coding in a exit or Badi  to check if you have already an open  requisition for the same material. You can then use the 06 401 as error message if you want.

Personally I do not really see any advantage in doing this, since the PR is a pure internal document and several of the same material can be clubbed together when the PO is created.

. Contrary, such a own coding which does not cover all possible cases may even have a negative effect in case of MRP runs where you might have situations depending on the MRP parameters where SAP creates multiple requisitions for one material.

Hi Kumar,

This BADI is already implemented in our system and I have entered my code in it.

But the warning message is not triggered.

Can you please send the code of your implementation because your popup window functionality

sounds better than a warning message.

You have to consult with your ABAP team to write the code or if the already written code is not working..

As a functional consultant, no one can't give you the coding or no one can't say where the code is wrong.

Hi All,

Thanks Alot for your replies.

I have one BADI implemented in our system : ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST.

in this If I write my code in the CHECK method. but the problem is the warning message is not showing when I click on the check button in ME51N.

There is another code written in the same method to check for purchasing group and its message type is Error. Now this error message is displayed when I press the check button. 

What should be the problem ??

Thanks,

Vishal .

Of course all other SAP standard checks are carried out too.

For message handling in a Badi see KBA: 1709562 - Messages ignored in BAdIs ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST and ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST

Hi,

   There is no such message in standard, as of my knowledge. If required, you may go for development to check the open PR's for the item and issue message accordingly.

Hi Prasoon,

I am an abaper only . So I guess I will have to implement a BADI for this.

I can identify the open PR item by using the filed EBAN-EBAKZ, right ?

or is there any other way to identify that ?

Thanks,

Vishal .

[Prasoon]

Hi,

   EBAN-EBAKZ can not be used in general case. The closed indicator wont be marked automatically if the PO is created with reference to PR in ME21N.

   I would suggest to check the difference between the requisition quantity (EBAN - MENGE) and ordered quantity (EBAN-BSMNG). If its greater than zero, then the requisition item is open.

Hi Vishal,

Please check whether the below message regarding PR is there in your Message settings

06     401     Purchase requisition & already exists

You can also view few of the standard messages related to PR in the below link:

Hope this can solve your issue.

Hi Sravan,

I dont think the message 06     401     Purchase requisition & already exists is in our system.

Check below screen shot.

How can I configure this message ??

Thanks,

Vishal .

[former_member206805]

Hi Vishal,

You can configure the message in SPRO as described below

In SPRO->MM->Purchasing->Define Attributes of Sys. messages

Click on the New entries, you can get from F4 the below messages

You can select from the selection screen.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Sravan,

After creating the new message entry as you have mentioned.

Is it going to start working or do I need to do some other config/coding for that ??

Thanks,

Vishal

[former_member206805]

Hi Vishal,

It has to work once the config is done and that particular situation is meeting for the PR.

If it is not working then you need to go for coding.

Thanks and Regards,

Sravan
