Common Reported Issues:
Material origin will be CLOSED on MIRO.
Material origin will be CLOSED if you use the solution of split valuation.
If you have a scenario of service, where the item category is ‘D’, the Brazil tab will not appear in PO, thus material origin will not appear as well.
In STO scenario, the inbound goods receipt shows error 8B198 stating that material origin is blank. The outbound was posted in a previous year. Check if you have notes: 2553555, 2444943, 2383291, 2372494, 2329708 & 2227107.
