Seems that you have ECS.

- are you using backend or local pur grps?

- if you are using backed pur grp, have you defined the same in SRM IMG->SRM-> cross applns->activate ECS

- In admin user (role....stal_administrator) can you see the reasons for errorr (local/backend)?

- have you tried to create PO in ECC with same matl, vendor, plant, AAC,PROG, pur grp?

Hi Pavan,

I hopwe you have activated / configured workflow. The prerequisites for direct material scenario are:

1. In the Enterprise Buyer System:

You have created a transaction type and an appropriate number range for direct material purchase orders and defined the transaction type as the value for the attribute DP_PROC_TY of the responsible purchasing group.

2. In the executing system:

You have created a document type with the same name as the transaction type and the same number range, but with external number assignment.

Regards,
