BAdI impl. ME_PROCESS_PO give an error message but the PO can also be saved

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I implement BADI ME_PROCESS_PO and make some check in method IF_EX_ME_PROCESS_PO~PROCESS_ACCOUNT.

In this method I give an error message using:

mmpur_message 'E' '/FMFMS/FM' '041' '' '' '' ''.

But when I save the error PO it can also be saved.

will you please kindly tell me how to solve the problem?

Best regards,

Tracy

Try a code like

       mmpur_metafield mmmfd_cost_ctr.
       mmpur_message_forced 'E' 'ZFSM' '425' ls_accounting-kostl ' ' ' ' ' '.
       im_account->invalidate( ).

Regards,

Raymond

Hello Tracy ,

That POs are saved as HELD Purchase Orders , if you need to restrict creation of HELD POs you need to implement ME_HOLD_PO  BADI.

Check the below thread ,

HI,

I could save the PO not HELD it.

[Sijin_Chandran]

Ok Tracy ,

You write your logic in ME_HOLD_PO and check .

Just Give this solution a try .

If you have gone through the above link then you can find that my purpose was quite similar as that of yours.

Hello Sij,

I have go through the above link, you mentioned that when you did check in BADI  ME_HOLD_PO, you can not correct the error.

[Sijin_Chandran]

Yeah , that issue will be there.

[Former Member]

But I hope the user can correct the error rather than closing the window and reopening it.

[Sijin_Chandran]

No but this issue will be there , reason being messages behave differently in various sections of codes in ABAP , especially in BADI with Update tasks.

Similar phenomenon prevails here also.

So you need to check for other alternatives.

Yeah, thank you very much!

Hi Tracy,

May be you need to have a hard error which will actually stop the processing thereby preventing the error PO from getting saved.

Thanks

yes, but how could I do that?

To add custom error message into PO screen:
mmpur_message_forced 'E' '<msgid>' '<msgno>' lv_msgv1 lv_msgv2 lv_msgv3 lv_msgv4.

To stop PO from saving:
 IF sy-ucomm EQ 'MESAVE'.
  "Prompt data incomplete dialog screen with 'Hold' button
  MESSAGE e000(mepo).
ENDIF.
