Hi Mano,

This is not a problem in your program, it is probably caused because of a missing customizing (SPRO) activity.

The bapi_goodsmvt_create creates a Material Document for the goods movement. The Mat.Doc. has a number range which is managed in the customizing. If a number range is not defined (for the right year) this message is issued.

To define the number range, go to trnx SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Number Assignment -> Define Number Assignment for Material and Phys. Inv. Docs - execute it. Another way is trnx OMBT (it gets u to the same place, i just specified the full path in customizing because some find it easier to remember). There u have to choose the change intervals button and define a number range with the right year (u will find the insert option in the menus at the top of the screen under edit). After doing that try running the bapi again, u shouldn't get this message now.

Good luck...

Hi Mano,

1st - if u have another message this means the previous problem is solved which is good...

Now the problem u r facing is the definition of a storage location (again, it's a customizing issue).

The storage locations u entered in the bapi parameters must be defined, and it must be in the plant u entered in the bapi parameters.

To define a storage location, again go to SPRO -> SAP Ref. IMG -> Enterprise Structure -> Definition -> Materials Management -> Maintain storage location. When u enter u will be prompt for the plant. Make sure your Stor.Loc. exists and is defined under your plant. Now u can run the bapi again.

Pls reward points if helpful.

Good luck

P.S: all these problems are MM customizing issues that should have been done in your system by an MM consultant or the MM people in your organization. I'm a development consultant, not MM, i happen to know how to solve the problems u mentioned, but surely any MM person will be more helpful to u then i. I don't mind helping, but if u have an MM person near by, u will finish your task much faster....
