• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRM_DIS030 - Circular & not yet started ?

  The SAP error message SRM_DIS030: Circular & not yet started typically occurs in the context of SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) when there is an issue with the processing of a document or transaction that involves circular references or dependencies that have not been resolved.
  Cause:
  
  Circular Reference: This error often indicates that there is a circular dependency in the document flow. For example, if a purchase order references another document that, in turn, references the original purchase order, it creates a circular reference.
  Incomplete Document Status: The error may also arise if the document is in a status that does not allow it to be processed further, such as being in a "not yet started" state.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SRM system that are not set up correctly, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Flow: Review the document flow to identify any circular references. Ensure that all documents are correctly linked and that there are no loops in the references.
  Resolve Dependencies: If you find circular dependencies, you will need to resolve them by adjusting the document references or changing the workflow to eliminate the circularity.
  Document Status: Ensure that the document is in the correct status for processing. If it is marked as "not yet started," you may need to initiate the document or change its status to allow further processing.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the SRM system to ensure that they are set up correctly. This may involve consulting with your SAP Basis or SRM configuration team.
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may address this specific error. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like BBP_PD (for Purchase Order) or BBP_CTR (for Change Request) to analyze the documents involved.
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can trace the execution to see where the circular reference is being triggered.
  SAP Community: Engaging with the SAP Community or forums can provide insights from other users who may have encountered and resolved similar issues.
