Error: PO & is being processed by another user

Former Member — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 09:45:57 GMT

When we are trying to create invoice against a PO (confirmation is done for the PO), the error "Purchase order & is being processed by another user" is displayed.

Have checked table bbp_wflock.It has no entries.

Into extended classic scenario and invoice is entered through SRM portal.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

This may help - Check if there are any duplicate entries in SM04 users log in. End them if any.

Satya - Are you using Invoice Management System(IMS) facility?

In IMS case if the invoice is posted and by that time GR isnt there in system, this error will shown in SRM IMS. Once you post the GR there is a report which has to be run then system will automatically clear this invoice. Please check the report name in IMS related docuementation in help. I forgot the report name and dont have system with me now.

We do not have IMS implemented.

Also before creating INvoice we have Confirmation in place.

HI All,

We are seeing the IDoc failures of the Invoices posted against the PO for which again the User is trying to create an Invoice and getting the error "PO Processed by another user".

The Idoc's are failing as below:

Application Document not posted.

Document 5105922692 deleted.

When I check for the Invoice in MIR4 i get same message as above. Pls advice.

What are the implications if we process the errored IDOCs?

Regards,

Satya
