SC stuck after approval.....

[Former Member]

Hi SRM GURUS

We have implemented SRM 5.0 ECS, where I am facing a peculiar problem after SC getting approved (approval status "approved"). In follow on document preview it is not going for sourcing, "describe requirment" has been used for creating SC. Sourcing is active.

Checked in RZ20 and also checked workflow in SWI1 and did not find any errors.

with regards

Manjunath

hi,

How many approvers are there in the approval process?

is it

1) one step (or) 2) two step (or) workflow without approval.

is it happening for all shopping carts (or) for this specific shopping cart?

Please check in the workflow log using the transaction , SWI6 , for the shopping cart wether setreleased method is run .

Hi

Checked in BBP_PD and found that there were 2 warning messages.

1. Cost center locked for primary postings.

2. 584 preffered delivery dates cannot be kept earliest.

by any chance are these messages preventing from going to sourcing.

Hi Manjunath,

By going through your posts i can make out that the SC is not going to Sourcing Cockpit.

Please clarify few points :

1. Is the P.O is getting directly created with Held Status?

2. Is the SC getting created without any error messages ?

If yours is Case 1 : Go to sourcing in SPRO and check the option maintained in the sourcing column w.r.t a product category.

This can happen in case " Never carry out sourcing" is maintained for the required product category.

The warning messages you were mentioned will not prevent the SC from going to shopping cockpit. But the cost center which you have maintained is locked for postings. Try to change the cost center. Again you face the problem while creating a P.O.

Please let me know these settings and feel free to ask for any clarifications.

Rgds,

Hi,

Check the BBP_PD for where the SHC is stuck up. Check the status of the SHC in this transaction. Also check if the sourcing is applicable for this Product Category.
