Hi sapper9595,

Welcome to the SAP Community. Thank you for visiting us to get answers to your questions.

Since you're asking a question here for the first time, I'd like to offer some friendly advice on how to get the most out of your community membership and experience.

First, please see https://community.sap.com/resources/questions-and-answers, as this resource page provides tips for preparing questions that draw responses from our members. Second, feel free to take our Q&A tutorial at https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/community-qa.html, as that will help you when submitting questions to the community.

I also recommend that you include a profile picture. By personalizing your profile, you encourage readers to respond: https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/community-profile.html.

Now for some specific suggestions on how you might improve your question:

* Outline what steps you took to find answers (and why they weren't helpful) -- so members don't make suggestions that you've already tried.

* Make sure you've applied the appropriate tags -- because if you don't apply the correct tags, the right experts won't see your question to answer it.

* Use the "insert code" feature when sharing your code, so members have an easier time reading.

Should you wish, you can revise your question by selecting Actions, then Edit.

Check the Welcome Corner thread with advice from our champions: https://groups.community.sap.com/t5/welcome-corner-discussions/advice-from-sap-champions-questions-a...

The more details you provide (in questions tagged correctly), the more likely it is that members will be able to respond. As it stands, I don't know if there is enough information here for members to understand your issue. So please consider revising your question because I'd really like to see you get a solution to your problem!

I hope you find this advice useful, and we're happy to have you as part of SAP Community!

Regards,

Dedi

Dear Giovanni,

If I understand well, you receive the unexpected error VL 255 "Termination during purchase order update" >>> and you are unable to create inbound delivery against PO.

The error is usually caused when there is an overflow of the database table EKES. For instance when the Field EKES-ETENS reaches 9999 entries for a given document.

To solve it you might consider that the field "EKES-ETENS" is only a 4-digit NUMC value field so you can only have max. 9999 entries.

If the highest EKES-ETENS is 9999 and there are 9999 entries, you can not longer use that PO, and this might also apply to the PO that is close to 9999 entries (i.e. 9990 entries).

The only way you can solve this is by creating a new PO and try not to reach this number of entries.

Hope that all the above makes sense and helps you to definitely solve the issue.

Bests,

Imre
