Detailed Problem Description
(Include Screen Shots if required )When an Item category is changed in the sales order by MASS Transaction the GR Flag, IR Flag, Valuation Price, Purchasing group are missing in the purchase order.
Solution Analysis and Recommendations
(Include Screen Shots if required)When an Item category is changed in the sales order by MASS Transaction the GR Flag, IR Flag, Valuation Price, Purchasing group are missing in the purchase order.
After Analysis it is understood that when ever the item category is changed in the sales order using MASS transaction few fields are not updated with the data in the purchase requisition generated in the sales order.
Here is the initial document which created for SAP:
SO change by Item cat_vol1.docx
SAP has come up with the answer that there is something wrong with the Master data and they have provided an example where the data in the purchase requisition is good and when converted to PO it doesn't have any issues.
Examples:
1336813
1336815
Further to out analysis it is observed that:
Usually if Item Category is changed in the sales order from TAB to TAS a new line item shall be generated in purchase requisition deleting the existing one which is not happening when there are multiple grids (schedule lines) in the sales order item:
When Changing Item Category from TAB t o TAS using MASS:
- If the line item in the sales order is having a single schedule line (Grid) the new Purchase requisition line item is generated, deleting the existing one.
In above screen shot we see that a new item (20) is generated and data in purchase requisition is complete.
- If the line item in the sales order is having multiple schedule lines (Grids) the new Purchase requisition line item is not generated data (purchase group, release date, valuation price and GR/IR) is missing in the purchase requisition which is an incomplete requisition.
In above screen shot we see that no new item is generated and data in purchase requisition is incomplete.
We have sent a document to SAP on our findings:
SO change by Item cat_2.docx
There is an inconsistency in updating the data in the Purchase Requisition raised an Incident to SAP on this inconsistency
Resolution
Act as per the suggestion of SAP.
