  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SPC02804 - Changes via EDI are not supported for PO & ?

    The SAP error message SPC02804 indicates that changes to a Purchase Order (PO) via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) are not supported. This typically occurs when there is an attempt to modify a PO that has already been created and sent out, and the system is configured to prevent such changes through EDI.

    Cause:

    1. EDI Configuration: The system may be configured to disallow changes to POs via EDI for certain document types or under specific conditions.
    2. PO Status: The status of the Purchase Order may not allow for changes. For example, if the PO is already in a status that indicates it has been confirmed or is in process, changes may be restricted.
    3. Business Rules: Organizational policies or business rules may dictate that certain types of POs cannot be modified through EDI to maintain data integrity and control.

    Solution:

    1. Review EDI Configuration: Check the EDI settings in your SAP system to see if there are specific configurations that prevent changes to POs via EDI. This may involve looking at the message types and their associated settings.
    2. Manual Changes: If changes are necessary, consider making them manually in the SAP system rather than through EDI. This may involve updating the PO directly in the SAP GUI.
    3. Consult Documentation: Review the relevant SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or EDI team to understand the specific configurations and limitations in your system.
    4. Change PO Status: If the PO is in a status that does not allow changes, you may need to change its status (if possible) or create a new PO instead.
    5. Contact Support: If the issue persists and you cannot determine the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal IT support team for further assistance.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide guidance on EDI configurations.
    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to Purchase Orders (e.g., ME22N for changing POs) and EDI settings (e.g., WE20 for partner profiles).
    • EDI Documentation: Review the EDI documentation specific to your organization to understand the processes and limitations regarding PO changes.

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a suitable solution.
