Hi,

I had another question related to shipment cost transfrer to accounting.

We have a peculiar issue where the user is complaining that they are not able to transfer to GL. It shows the PO xxxxx is created at the bottom of the screen and then comes with a log where it says the PO xxxxx is not found. I beleive it is not able to save the PO or the error is occuring when trying to save the PO.

Any one has any clues on how to resolve this errror.

Thanks

Dear Sridhar,

Could you kindly verify the accounts assigned for the 'Freight clearing' using transaction code OBYC.

Dear Sridhar,

The assignment is better done using the transaction OMWB for combination of company code and valuation area, for the transaction key FR1.

SPRO --> Materials Management --> Purchasing --> Purchase Orders --> Define document type -->

Define Document Types

The SAP System manages purchase orders (POs) as documents. You can group POs together to form any number of document types.

In this step, you can do the following:

• Create new document types

• Define item interval

• Define allowed follow-on document types

• Assign document types to a number range group

• Define a number range interval

• Choose type of number assignment:

o Internal

o External

• Choose update group

The update group determines how the data from the document header is updated in the statistics file.

Standard settings

The following document types/number ranges are predefined in the standard SAP R/3 System.

• Document type: NB for standard purchase orders

Number ranges:

o internal from 4500000000 to 4599999999

o external from 4100000000 to 4199999999

• Document type: TB for transport orders

Number ranges:

o internal from 4500000000 to 4599999999

o external from 4100000000 to 4199999999

Recommendation

SAP recommends that you accept the settings defined in the standard system. In this case, no action is required on your part.

Activities

1. Check the predefined document types and number ranges.

2. Change the following to suit your requirements:

o Document types

o Number ranges

Dear Mr Sridhar,

Could you kindly verify the customisation for purchase orders available at:-

SPRO --> Materials Management --> Purchasing --> Purchase Orders --> Define document type -->

For the purchase order type used for the transaction, kindly verify if item category 'D' is allowed.

Else, kindly enable it and reattempt transfer.

Trust the reply is found helpful.
