    WP606 - No PO could be created for material & and plant &


    Cause:

    This error occurs when the system attempts to create a Purchase Order (PO) for a specific material and plant combination but fails because the necessary conditions or master data are not properly maintained or configured. Common causes include:

    • Missing or incomplete source list: The source list for the material and plant does not exist or is not valid for the current procurement.
    • No valid info record: There is no purchasing info record maintained for the material and vendor combination.
    • No valid quota arrangement: If quota arrangements are used, no valid quota exists for the material and plant.
    • Material is not flagged for procurement: The material master data does not allow procurement for the plant.
    • No valid vendor assigned: The system cannot determine a vendor for the material and plant.
    • Incorrect or missing purchasing data: Purchasing view in material master or vendor master data is incomplete or incorrect.
    • Automatic PO creation settings: The system settings or user exit logic for automatic PO creation might be incomplete or incorrect.

    Solution:

    To resolve the WP606 error, perform the following checks and corrections:

    1. Check Source List:

      • Verify that a valid source list exists for the material and plant.
      • Ensure the source list is valid for the current procurement date and is not blocked.
    2. Check Purchasing Info Record:

      • Transaction: ME11 / ME12 / ME13
      • Confirm that a purchasing info record exists for the material and vendor.
      • Ensure the info record is valid and not blocked.
    3. Check Quota Arrangement:

      • Transaction: MEQ1 / MEQ2 / MEQ3
      • Verify if quota arrangements are maintained and valid for the material and plant.
    4. Check Material Master Data:

      • Transaction: MM02
      • In the Purchasing view, ensure the material is flagged for procurement.
      • Check if the procurement type and MRP type are correctly maintained.
    5. Check Vendor Master Data:

      • Transaction: XK03 / MK03
      • Verify vendor is active and valid for the purchasing organization.
    6. Check Automatic PO Creation Settings:

      • Review the configuration or user exits involved in automatic PO creation.
      • Ensure the logic correctly determines the vendor and purchasing data.
    7. Run MRP or Manual PO Creation:

      • Sometimes running MRP (MD01) or manually creating a PO can help identify missing data.

    Related Information:

    • Message Class: WP6
    • Transactions to check:
      • ME01 / ME03 (Source List)
      • ME11 / ME12 / ME13 (Purchasing Info Record)
