Exception condition "FAILURE" raised - PO/Backend Application Error

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

We hit the following error when trying to delete the PO on SRM.

HEADER I1015 Awaiting Approval

HEADER I1021 Created

HEADER I1038 Complete

HEADER I1040 Deleted

HEADER I1080 In Transfer to Execution Syst. X

HEADER I1132 Transfer Failed (E.Sys.)

HEADER I1180 Document Completed

Monitor Purchase Order\Backend application errors

Date 01.05.2007

Time 06:43:59

Message ID BBP_ADMIN 132

Message text PurchOrder &2: &3

Argument 1 4631CABDB4402A00E1000000A4892893

Argument 2 3000026164

Argument 3 Exception condition "FAILURE" raised.

Argument 4 BBP_PD_PO_TRANSFER_EXEC

What does it mean by exception condition failure raised? When we delete the PO, we got "Error in Process" on SRM. And the above error message were shown on bbp_pd. Then, what we did was remove the delete indicator from SRM Gui, and then DELETE again the PO from SRM web. Then we pushed the PO to backend via a function module again. We however got "Awaiting Approval" status for the PO on SRM web. The PO is also showing in change version. The delete indicator was marked on SRM web and also on BBP_PD. BUT...we still got the above Exceptin Condition error message and the PO is also not deleted on backend R/3.

Anyone has any idea about this? PLEASE HELP ME!!

Dear Atul and Nishant,

Thank you very much for the reply. I've checked all possible SAP Notes, and only found the few below which is relevant:

Note 684491 - Direct material: Local PO not replicated to BE

Note 508972 - Error during transfer of extended purchase orders

Note 1006573 - BBP_POC:For service items,delete indicator not transfered

Here's our SP level for our SRM system:

SRM_SERVER 500 Level 4

SAP_ABA 640 Level 18

SAP_BASIS 640 Level 18

With reference to our SRM version, i think only SAP Note 1006573 is relevant. However, i am still skeptical about implementing this SAP Note because all other POs can be deleted and can be replicated/transfered to the backend R3 system.

We ran a debugging mode for this PO and found some error messages pointing to the user who deleted this PO doesn't have the neccessary authorisation rights to a certain Purchasing Org, Purchasing Group and company code. This is not right because the user ALREADY has ALL the neccessary access and she is able to perform for other POs. Something just doesn't seems right with the back-end R3 system.

Do you guys have any manual workout?? Please advice!

Hi

I guess OSS note 1006573 is relevant.

But, Incase you don't want to take any risk, please consult SAP by openeing an Customer OSS message.

Hope they will guide you better.

Hi Chi,

I donot know your support pack level and other details still suggesting to look at SAP note.

1. Note 846676 - Message texts contain GUID or program

names at the end

2. Note 508972 - Error during transfer of extended purchase orders

SAP has removed the message text

Message ID BBP_ADMIN 132

in this SAP note 846676.

I hope,this will solve your issue.

Regards,Nishant
