• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GPD066 - Purchase requisition &1 with no (initial) material number not processed ?

  The SAP error message GPD066 indicates that a purchase requisition (PR) is not being processed because it does not have an initial material number assigned. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP Materials Management (MM) module, particularly when dealing with purchase requisitions that are expected to reference specific materials.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Material Number: The purchase requisition is created without specifying a material number. This can happen if the requisition is intended for services or if the material number was not entered during the creation of the PR.
  Incorrect Document Type: The document type of the purchase requisition may not be configured to allow for non-material items.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that require a material number for all purchase requisitions, regardless of whether they are for services or materials.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Purchase Requisition: Review the purchase requisition to ensure that it has a valid material number. If it is intended for a service, ensure that the service is properly defined in the system.
  Use the Correct Document Type: If the purchase requisition is for a service or a non-material item, ensure that you are using the correct document type that allows for such entries.
  Update Configuration: If necessary, consult with your SAP MM configuration team to review the settings related to purchase requisition processing. They may need to adjust the configuration to allow for purchase requisitions without material numbers if that is a valid business requirement.
  Create a New PR: If the current PR cannot be processed due to the missing material number, consider creating a new purchase requisition with the correct details.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like ME51N (Create Purchase Requisition) to create a new PR or ME52N (Change Purchase Requisition) to modify an existing one.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on purchase requisition processing and configuration settings.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If your organization has specific business processes, check if there are any user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) that might affect how purchase requisitions are processed.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in the MM module for further assistance.
