How To Fix PPC0500 - New master data after confirmation was created (see long text)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PPC0 - Messages for PP Confirmation

• Message number: 500

• Message text: New master data after confirmation was created (see long text)

What causes this issue?

Confirmations have already been created for order &V1& and were
subsequently cancelled. New master data, for example a different source
of supply, was assigned to the order after the complete cancellation of
all confirmations.
As new master data now exists for the order, the confirmations now have
to be created at reporting points which vary from those that were
previously used for the creation of the confirmations.
This is not supported at present. All confirmations for an order must be
created using the same reporting point structure.

System Response

No confirmations could be created for the order and the master data
assignment.

How to fix this error?

Check whether you can assign the original master data to the order
again, for example by reactivating the original source of supply.
If this is not possible or you do not want to do it, you can delete the
order and create another one, and then create the confirmations for that
.

Procedure for System Administrators

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