Confirmation Error in SRM

[Former Member]

Dear SRMer's,

System Information: SRM 4.0, R/3 4.6c

We have a situation in SRM confirmation, where the user is trying to receive against a PO and the system displays an error message " Posting only possible in June, 2007 for company code X. The status of the confirmation is "error in process".

We are also not able to cancel or delete the confirmation and create a new one.

we get an error: " Error when cancelling confirmation abc"

So is there a way to open up the company code X to clear the above error and able to do receiving again.

Thanks in advance!

Points will be rewarded.

Best regards,

Bob

Hi Yann,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Can you please explain the concept behind the close period for Material master records.

i.e- Why we need to do it periodically.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

In MM, you have the possibility to open a mximum of two period for good receipt: actual and previous period.

Thus you have to translate the period manually or automatically.

Atul/ Yann,

Thanks for your reply's.

In R/3, Where do I go to check the existing posting date for a product category.

Hi,

There is no link between posting date and product category (or material group) !

Please rephrase your question

Yann,

When trying to post a confirmation, we are gettting the error,"Posting only possible in periods 2007/6 and 2007/5 in company code XYZ".

So how do I know for what period, it needs to be reopened.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi Bob,

There is something wrong in your configuration.

The 3 transactions to check are :

MMPV for MM period transalation

OB52 for the FI period

OMSY for material

You should be able to solve the issue ))

Kind regards,
