• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MEPO150 - PO deleted at header level. Add is not possible ?

  The SAP error message MEPO150, which states "PO deleted at header level. Add is not possible," typically occurs when you are trying to add an item to a purchase order (PO) that has been marked for deletion at the header level. This means that the entire purchase order has been flagged as deleted, and therefore, no further modifications, including adding items, can be made to it.
  Cause:
  
  PO Deletion: The purchase order has been deleted or flagged for deletion. This can happen if someone has set the deletion indicator on the PO header.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to modify or add items to the PO.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations or settings in the SAP system that prevent modifications to deleted POs.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Deletion Indicator:
  
  Go to the purchase order in the SAP system (transaction code ME22N).
  Check if the deletion indicator is set on the header. If it is, you will need to remove this indicator to make changes to the PO.
  To remove the deletion indicator, you may need to have the appropriate permissions or consult with someone who has the authority to do so.
  
  
  
  Create a New PO:
  
  If the PO is indeed deleted and cannot be restored, consider creating a new purchase order instead of trying to modify the deleted one.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support:
  
  If you are unsure about the deletion status or how to proceed, consult with your SAP support team or system administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Check User Permissions:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to modify purchase orders. If not, request the required access from your system administrator.
