Reassignment of PO (FMCN, FMCT, FMN4N)

[noy_ash]

Dear experts, If I want to do reassignment to a PO using FMCN, FMCT, FMN4N (I don't mind using FMCG or FMCB) instead, and lets assume that th PO is old and that we've added new code during the years, so if we use now ME22N and try to save the PO, we can't do it (we get a new Z Error). What should happen when I use FMCN? Does the system let me do the reassignment or I get the PO's Z error ? If I get the error, is there any way to skip it and do the reassignment?

Z error means it is a custom code message; please check with your configuration team or your developers to see what can be done.

I have some PO's with standard error as well.

The question is if it is normal or should the tcode/program (FMCN for example) skip it.

For example, if I use Internal Orders as a part of the account assignment of the PO, and lets assume that its (IO) status is TECO, why FMCN shows error? Meaning I can't do the reassignment (changing FC for example) when the IO status is TECO.

Hi,

FMN4N is not a reassignment routine. You can use either FMCB or FMCG (FMCN is useful when you have to complete empty assignment) to create a worklist, and then FMCT for actual reassignment. If there is a Z-error which prevents changing FM assignment, there is not much to do, but to try and neutralize it, even if in debug mode. Once there is at least one error, you shouldn't pay too much attention for other errors in the log for the same document, as it could be confusing.

Thanks Eli.

I've tried FMCB and FMCT as well, however when the IO status is TECO, I can't fulfill the RA. I guess that's how it works.

Noy.

If a functional block is put on one of the affiliated objects which doesn't allow the change of a PO, this is system design. Unless, you receive a message for irrelevant object or you suspect some other kind of inconsistency.
