  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 4F152 - The vendors of the PO are different. ?

    The SAP error message 4F152 ("The vendors of the PO are different") typically occurs when there is an inconsistency in the vendor information associated with a purchase order (PO) and the vendor information in the related documents, such as a goods receipt or invoice. This error is common in scenarios where multiple vendors are involved, or when a PO is created with a vendor that does not match the vendor in the subsequent document.

    Cause:

    1. Different Vendor IDs: The purchase order (PO) is created for one vendor, but the subsequent document (like a goods receipt or invoice) references a different vendor.
    2. Vendor Master Data Issues: There may be discrepancies in the vendor master data, such as different vendor numbers or incorrect vendor assignments.
    3. PO Changes: If the PO was changed after the initial creation, and the vendor was altered or updated incorrectly, this can lead to mismatches.
    4. Document Type Mismatch: The document type being processed may not be compatible with the vendor specified in the PO.

    Solution:

    1. Verify Vendor Information: Check the vendor information in the purchase order and ensure it matches the vendor information in the related documents (goods receipt, invoice).
    2. Correct the PO: If the PO is incorrect, you may need to change the vendor in the PO to match the vendor in the subsequent document.
    3. Check Document Flow: Review the document flow to ensure that all related documents are referencing the correct vendor.
    4. Update Vendor Master Data: If there are discrepancies in the vendor master data, update the vendor information to ensure consistency across all documents.
    5. Use the Correct Document Type: Ensure that the document type being used is appropriate for the transaction and matches the vendor specified in the PO.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like ME23N (Display Purchase Order), ME22N (Change Purchase Order), or MIGO (Goods Movement) to check and modify the relevant documents.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
    • User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the purchase order or vendor master data.
