SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WTADDI - Additionals: Messages

• Message number: 210

• Message text: Purchase order for additional already created

What causes this issue?

You wish to assign a vendor to <DS:GLOS.additional>additional</> &V2&
using workflow in additionals document &V1&. The purchase order has
already been generated, however.
If an additional can be ordered from a number of vendors, the system
can generate a workflow entry for selecting a vendor interactively (as
long as the relevant setting has been made in Customizing). This is
what has happened here.
When generating the additionals document, the system assigns the first
vendor in the list to the document. In the case of document &V1& this
is vendor &V3&, from whom additional &V2& has been ordered.

System Response

The system informs you that a purchase order has already been
generated.

How to fix this error?

Once a vendor has been selected, the selection cannot be changed. Flag
the workflow as "completed".

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTADDI210 - Purchase order for additional already created ?

  The SAP error message WTADDI210: Purchase order for additional already created typically occurs in the context of warehouse management (WM) or inventory management processes, especially when dealing with additional purchase orders or goods movements.
  
  Cause:
  This error indicates that a purchase order (PO) for an additional delivery or additional quantity has already been created in the system for the given material or process. In other words, the system detects that an additional PO document exists and prevents the creation of a duplicate or redundant PO for the same purpose.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Attempting to create an additional PO for a material or delivery when one already exists.
  Trying to post goods receipt or create transfer orders based on an additional PO that has already been processed.
  Duplicate processing triggered by user or system error.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WTADDI210 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Purchase Orders:
  
  Verify if an additional PO has already been created for the material or delivery in question.
  Use transaction codes like ME23N (Display Purchase Order) or ME2N (List Purchase Orders) to find existing POs.
  
  
  
  Avoid Duplicate Creation:
  
  If an additional PO exists, do not create another one for the same purpose.
  Use the existing PO for further processing (goods receipt, transfer order, etc.).
  
  
  
  Review Process Flow:
  
  Ensure that the business process is correctly followed and that no duplicate steps are being executed.
  Check if any custom enhancements or user exits are causing repeated PO creation attempts.
  
  
  
  Correct Document References:
  
  If the system is incorrectly identifying duplicates due to document references, check and correct the document linkage.
