SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: M7 - Inventory Management and Physical Inventory

• Message number: 387

• Message text: Purchase order &1 &2 has no component &3 in plant &4

What causes this issue?

An external application (for example, using
<DS:FU.BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE>BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE</>) transfers the
components to a subcontract order. Component &3 transferred to purchase
order &1 (purchase order item &2 ) in plant &4 does not exist in the
purchase order.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Check the transferred data of the component. Note that when using a
BAPI, conversion into internal display does not take place. The data
must therefore be transferred in the way it was in the database, for
example, the 18 figure material number with leading zeros.
