BAPI_PO_CREATE problem, kindly help

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I am trying to create PO by reading data from a text file.

when i execute the code , BAPI returns the following error: "E 06101 No master record exists for vendor 100014"

I posted PO with the same data in ME21N and also in SE37 using BAPI_PO_CREATE. But only when i try to post through my program i get this error. Also Vendor 100014 exists with purchasing information in it. I tried with other vendors too, 100011,100012 etc, i get the same error while trying to create PO using the program. Can any one please direct me to fix this problem.

Thanks.

Open BAPI_PO_CREATE in SE37 and use find to search for the error message line in main program.

search for 101 and hopefully you will find the error message point in the code and then put a temp break-point over there and a block before thet , run your program again.

But if you could not find the error message in the code then it means that message is thrown in some called FM.

You can also try searching this message by SE91 ->error message --> where used. If found, put the breakpoint similarly.

If now found,then in that case you need to debug it completely.

hi,

-->"I posted PO with the same data in ME21N and also in SE37 using BAPI_PO_CREATE."

check the BAPI Version,if your programm are using the right one.

And check the BAPI document, if you have miss some important information to create this bapi.

i feel the issue is the alpha conversion of the vendor number.

use fm

CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT

vendor_variable = '10014'

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

EXPORTING

input = vendor_variable

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = vendor_variable .

after the function call vendor_variable will be

0000010014.

you need to use the new vendor number with preceeding 0's.

in SE37 - you will not face this problem as SAP take care of it automatically.

I think Raja is on the right track also.

You can use the function modules as he suggested, or just put the vendor number into a type N field, like this:

DATA: w_vendor       LIKE EKKO-LIFNR,
      w_vendor_n(10) TYPE N.

* Lets assign w_vendor the vendor number 10014 (you would
* get this from your text file)
  w_vendor = '10014'.

* Convert vendor number 10014 to vendor number 00000010014
  w_vendor_n = w_vendor.

* Now use w_vendor_n in the BAPI.
  CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PO_CREATE' ...

That should help.

Thats a bizarre error Karan.

A few things come to mind:

<b>1.</b> There are appends missing in the create_po subroutine. Maybe these are causing the problem. have a look at my comments.

LOOP AT gt_item.

i_po_item-PO_ITEM = gt_item-ebelp.
i_po_item-PUR_MAT = gt_item-matnr.
i_po_item-STORE_LOC = gt_item-lgort.
i_po_item-PLANT = gt_item-werks.
i_po_item-UNIT = gt_item-meins.
i_po_item-NET_PRICE = gt_item-netpr.
i_po_item-PRICE_UNIT = gt_item-peinh.
" Should be append i_po_item "
ENDLOOP.

LOOP AT gt_sch.

i_po_sch-PO_ITEM = gt_sch-ebelp.
i_po_sch-DELIV_DATE = gt_sch-eindt.
i_po_sch-QUANTITY = gt_sch-menge.
"should be append i_po_sch "
ENDLOOP.

<b>2.</b> This error is caused by erroneous coding in a PO userexit. In this case, try commenting out all the userexits/BADIs implemented in the purchase order transaction. Then run the BAPI again.

<b>3.</b> There is a SAP bug. Check out OSS.

Also, you seem not to be refreshing gt_item and gt_sch anywhere. I think that you need to do this in your main loop at the begining of each new PO (not sure as did not check too closely).

Hope that helps.

Brad,
