  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/MM139 - No batch exists for purchase order item. Post goods receipt first ?

    The SAP error message /ISDFPS/MM139 No batch exists for purchase order item. Post goods receipt first typically occurs in the context of inventory management and batch management within the SAP system. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a batch for the specified purchase order item, and it suggests that a goods receipt (GR) needs to be posted before proceeding with further actions.

    Cause:

    1. No Goods Receipt Posted: The most common cause of this error is that a goods receipt has not been posted for the purchase order item. Without a GR, the system does not have any inventory to associate with a batch.
    2. Batch Management Not Activated: If batch management is enabled for the material but no batches have been created or assigned, this error can occur.
    3. Incorrect Purchase Order Item: The purchase order item being referenced may not be valid or may not have been properly configured in the system.
    4. Stock Type Issues: The stock type (e.g., unrestricted, quality inspection) may not have any batches available for the item in question.

    Solution:

    1. Post Goods Receipt: The primary solution is to post a goods receipt for the purchase order item. This can be done through the transaction code MIGO (Goods Movement) or MB01 (Goods Receipt for Purchase Order). Ensure that the correct purchase order and item are selected.
    2. Check Batch Management Settings: Verify that batch management is correctly configured for the material. You can check this in the material master record (transaction code MM03) under the "Plant Data / Storage" view.
    3. Create Batches: If batch management is required and no batches exist, you may need to create batches for the material. This can be done using transaction code MSC1N (Create Batch).
    4. Review Purchase Order: Ensure that the purchase order is correctly set up and that the item is valid. Check for any discrepancies in the purchase order that might prevent the GR from being posted.
    5. Check Stock Types: Review the stock types available for the material and ensure that there are no restrictions preventing the creation of batches.
