• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WG365 - Nothing for ordering, or purchase order has already been created ?

  The SAP error message WG365 - "Nothing for ordering, or purchase order has already been created" typically occurs in the context of purchase requisitions (PRs) and purchase orders (POs) during the procurement process.
  
  Cause:
  
  No open items available for ordering: The system finds that there are no purchase requisition items that are still open or available for creating a purchase order.
  Purchase order already created: The purchase requisition items have already been fully converted into purchase orders, so there is nothing left to order.
  All items have been deleted or closed: The items in the purchase requisition might have been deleted, fully ordered, or otherwise closed.
  Incorrect selection criteria: The selection parameters used when trying to create a PO from PRs do not match any open requisition items.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you try to create a purchase order from a purchase requisition using transaction codes like ME21N or ME59N (automatic PO creation).
  When the system checks for open requisition items to convert into POs but finds none.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the status of the purchase requisition:
  
  Use transaction ME53N to display the purchase requisition.
  Verify if the items are still open for ordering or if they have already been fully ordered.
  Check the "Quantity ordered" vs. "Quantity requested" fields.
  
  
  
  Verify if purchase orders already exist:
  
  Check if purchase orders have already been created for the requisition items.
  Use transaction ME23N to display existing purchase orders linked to the requisition.
  
  
  
  Check selection criteria:
  
  When using automatic PO creation (ME59N), ensure that the selection parameters (e.g., purchasing group, plant, document type) are correct and match the requisition items.
  
  
  
  If items are deleted or closed:
  
  Confirm if the requisition items were deleted or marked as closed.
  If necessary, create new purchase requisitions for the required materials.
  
  
  
  Recreate or adjust purchase requisition:
  
  If the requisition is incorrect or incomplete, adjust or recreate it to reflect the current purchasing needs.
