Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Why are the texts maintained in PO header and Item not coming in output form?
Ans: Verify if the required texts are maintained in the SSCUI -102270(Define Texts for Purchase Order) with text ID’s in the format Fxx. Any text ID’s other than Fxx or ST format will not be considered for PO Output.

Q2. Why are the texts not printed in output though, required text ID’s are configured in SSCUI 102270 in FXX and ST format.
Ans: In the SSCUI-102270(Define Texts for Purchase Order), no two text ID’s should have the same print sequence. For example, If F01 and F02 have the same print sequence 1, only F01 text is printed on the output and F02 is ignored.
