Error while saving VI02 Shipment Cost

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are testing here transportation module in new company code.

While saving VI03 Shipment cost, system is not creating Purchase order, as item catagory D-Service.

It is giving error that, Document type NB is not defined for Starnd PO.

But we have created new PO document type FR01 instead of NB.

Is there any posibility to assign PO Document type FR01 for shipment cost?

Waiting for your reply.

Thanks,

Hello Samir,

the purchase order is generated with report RV54POCR, which is called as soon as no suitable purchase order is available and the item category is set for po generation.

Which document type is used for the purchase order generation depends on default po type assigned to the transactions ME21N/ME21. Please check the following code of the generation report:

• Get Default PO type

• CALL FOR TCODE ME21N FIRST, IF NOT FOUND, CALL FOR ME21.

SELECT SINGLE * FROM t160 WHERE tcode EQ 'ME21N'.

IF NOT sy-subrc IS INITIAL.

SELECT SINGLE * FROM t160 WHERE tcode EQ 'ME21'.

ENDIF.

Depending on your business needs you are able to assign a different type or to use the corresponding user exit which is called short after the above coding.

I hope I was able to help you with this issue!

Tom
