• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_REQ_IA_PRSL021 - Approved PRs with Same Info Record ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_REQ_IA_PRSL021 indicates that there are approved Purchase Requisitions (PRs) that share the same information record. This typically occurs in the context of procurement processes where multiple PRs are created for the same material and vendor combination, and the system is designed to prevent duplicate entries or conflicts.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Purchase Requisitions: The error arises when there are multiple approved PRs for the same material and vendor combination, which can lead to confusion in procurement and inventory management.
  Information Record Settings: The system checks the information records associated with the PRs and finds that they are identical, which violates the business rules set in the system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that enforce strict rules against having multiple approved PRs for the same item.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Approved PRs: Check the list of approved Purchase Requisitions to identify duplicates. You can use transaction codes like ME5A (List of Purchase Requisitions) to view and analyze the PRs.
  Consolidate PRs: If duplicates are found, consider consolidating them into a single PR. This can be done by deleting or unapproving the unnecessary PRs.
  Adjust Information Records: If the PRs are valid but need to be processed separately, you may need to adjust the information records or create new ones with different parameters (e.g., different delivery dates, quantities, etc.).
  Consult with Procurement Team: Engage with the procurement team to understand the business need for multiple PRs and determine the best course of action.
  System Configuration: If this issue is frequent, it may be worth reviewing the configuration settings in the SAP system to see if they can be adjusted to allow for more flexibility in handling PRs.
