SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 06 -

• Message number: 639

• Message text: Please use a stock transfer document type in this case

What causes this issue?

You wish to create a purchase order or a scheduling agreement for a
supplier to whom a supplying plant has been assigned. This corresponds
to a stock transport order for a cross-company-code stock transfer, for
whose items shipping data will be determined, deliveries and billing
documents will be generated and, finally, incoming invoices will be
posted (in the standard system, this corresponds to order type NB).
This transaction must involve more than one company code. However, with
the data entered this is not the case: the supplying plant that is
assigned to the supplier belongs to the same company code as the
purchasing organization entered.

System Response

This function cannot be performed as things stand.

How to fix this error?

If you wish to order from this supplying plant, please use a stock
transfer document type (in the standard system, UB). Such a transaction
need not be a cross-company-code transaction.
