PO from Bid Invitation Contains Faulty account assignment

[Former Member]

Hi All-

We are working on SRM 5.0 Extended Classic Scenario SP6. Currently we are facing the following issue:

Process Steps:

1.) Create a Shopping cart with one line item and account assignment.

2.) Shopping cart goes to the sourcing cockpit

3.) The Buyer adds a new Line item to the Bid Invitation and publishes it

4.) Vendor Quotation comes in and Buyer Accepts it

5.) Buyer tries to create a PO out of the accepted Bid.

6.) PO Checked - No Error Found and the PO is ordered.

7.) In the PO transfer to R/3, the following errors occur

<b>a.) " Purchase Order Item 0002 still contains fault ac assignments"

b.) " Purchase Order 820000XX : Enter Commodity Code"</b>

These Errors can be found in RZ20 as a backend application error in the Purchase Order section.

Has anyone faced a similar problem, if yes, do you know what the fix or OSS Note is? Or is there something that i am missing?

Please throw some light !

Thanks,

Hi Sundeep,

Which version of backend are you using?

Take a look oh this notes

Note 674296 - ME21N: Import data is not transferred

Note 215354 - Commodity code is not displayed

Note 317968 - ME21N/ME22N: Partner screen, import data, exchange rate

I hope this helps you.

Hi,

The problem is with the adding the line during the Bid, as during theBid has no way to add the account assignment information, you can follow one of the methods suitable to you.

Account assignment information for the new bid item will be be from the requester ( Buyer) defaults, make sure all the defaults are maintained.

Other way is through BADI, you can populate any information you need.

Thank you

Hi Sridhar,

Thanks for the information !

Can you elaborate on setting the defaults of the requester? Do you mean in the full functionality Shopping screen or in the attribute defaults of the User?

Have you tried the same workaround? I tried the with both but did not see any usefull results !

Hi Sridhar,

Can you also elaborate on the BADI that you spoke about? Can you suggest what BADI we could use?

Hi Sundeep,

This problem looks to be a program error. SAP suggest few notes for the account assignment errors. However i could not found out any relation for this error w.r.t commodity code.

The related OSS notes are as under :

<b>Note 1000184 - Account assignment error when document transfer to back end</b>

<b>Note 966323 - Service Item: Not able to create PO in ERP backend</b>

The note 1000184 is more relavent in your case and other related notes are mentioned in that note which may resolve your issue.

Hope this note will definitely come to your help.

Please let us know the outcome for further help.

Rgds,
