• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_REQ_IA_PRSL019 - Approved PRs with Same Supplier ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_REQ_IA_PRSL019 indicates that there are approved Purchase Requisitions (PRs) that have the same supplier. This error typically arises in the context of procurement processes where the system is trying to process or create a new purchase requisition, but it detects that there are already existing approved requisitions for the same supplier.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Approved PRs: The system has identified that there are already approved purchase requisitions for the same supplier, which may lead to confusion or redundancy in procurement.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to prevent the creation of multiple approved requisitions for the same supplier to streamline the procurement process.
  Business Rules: Organizational policies may dictate that only one approved requisition per supplier is allowed at a time to avoid over-ordering or mismanagement of supplier relationships.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Existing PRs: Check the existing approved purchase requisitions for the same supplier. You can do this by using transaction codes like ME5A (List of Purchase Requisitions) or ME53N (Display Purchase Requisition) to see the details of the approved PRs.
  Consolidate PRs: If multiple requisitions are not necessary, consider consolidating them into a single requisition. This can help streamline the procurement process and avoid redundancy.
  Modify or Cancel PRs: If the existing approved PRs are no longer needed, you may consider modifying or canceling them, depending on your organization's policies and the current procurement needs.
  Consult with Procurement Team: Engage with your procurement team to understand the business rules and determine the best course of action. They may have insights into whether the existing PRs can be adjusted or if a new requisition is indeed necessary.
  Check Configuration: If you believe this restriction is too stringent for your business needs, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to purchase requisition approvals and supplier management.
