• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_REQ_COMMON101 - PurReqnExternalSystemType should be same across all items for HUB PR ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_REQ_COMMON101 indicates that there is a mismatch in the external system type for the items in a Purchase Requisition (PR) when using the HUB (Harmonized User Business) functionality. This error typically arises when you are trying to create or process a Purchase Requisition that contains multiple items, and those items are associated with different external system types.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to the following reasons:
  
  Inconsistent External System Types: Each item in the Purchase Requisition must have the same external system type. If one item is linked to a different external system type than the others, this error will be triggered.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that are not aligned, leading to discrepancies in how external system types are assigned to items.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors during the creation of the Purchase Requisition can lead to items being assigned different external system types.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:

  Remove the items with the differing external system types and create a new Purchase Requisition with only the items that share the same external system type.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the configuration settings related to external system types in your SAP system. Ensure that the settings are correctly defined and that there are no discrepancies.
