• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_RELOC_CHK214 - Purch. requisition &3 exists for equipment &1 (material &2) ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_RELOC_CHK214 indicates that there is a purchase requisition associated with a specific equipment and material combination. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) module, particularly when dealing with relocation or transfer processes.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to perform an action (such as relocating or transferring equipment) that conflicts with existing purchase requisitions. Specifically, it indicates that there is already a purchase requisition for the equipment identified by &1 and the material identified by &2. The requisition is preventing the action you are trying to perform because it implies that there are pending procurement activities that need to be resolved first.

  Check Purchase Requisitions: 
  
  Go to the transaction code ME53N (Display Purchase Requisition) and enter the requisition number to check the details of the purchase requisition associated with the equipment and material.
  Verify if the requisition is still valid or if it can be deleted or modified.
  
  
  
  Resolve Pending Requisitions:
  
  If the purchase requisition is still needed, ensure that it is processed (approved, converted to a purchase order, etc.) before attempting the relocation again.
  If the requisition is no longer needed, consider deleting it or changing its status.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Investigate if there are any dependencies or links between the purchase requisition and other processes that might be causing the conflict.
  
  
  
  Consult with Procurement Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the status of the purchase requisition or how to proceed, consult with your procurement or materials management team for guidance.
