    Error Message

    WTADDI222: No messages exist for generated purchase orders


    Cause

    This error occurs in the SAP system when you try to process or output purchase orders (POs), but the system cannot find any message records assigned to those purchase orders. In other words, the purchase orders have been created/generated, but no output messages (such as print, email, EDI, or fax messages) have been defined or generated for them.

    Common reasons include:

    • No output message has been maintained or generated for the purchase order.
    • The output determination procedure for purchase orders is not correctly configured.
    • The purchase order is missing the necessary output type or medium.
    • The output message was deleted or not created due to configuration or master data issues.
    • The user is trying to reprocess or display messages, but none exist for the PO.

    Explanation

    In SAP MM (Materials Management), when a purchase order is created, output messages are generated to communicate the PO to the vendor. These messages can be printouts, emails, EDI transmissions, or faxes. The system uses output determination procedures to decide which messages to generate based on conditions like vendor, purchasing organization, document type, etc.

    If no messages exist for a PO, it means the system has not generated any output for that PO, so there is nothing to process or display.


    Solution

    1. Check Output Determination Configuration:

      • Go to transaction NACE (or SPRO ? Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Messages ? Output Control).
      • Verify that the output types for purchase orders are correctly configured.
      • Check the condition records for output determination to ensure they are maintained properly.
    2. Check Purchase Order Output:

      • Open the purchase order in transaction ME23N.
      • Go to the Messages tab.
      • Verify if any output messages exist for the PO.
      • If no messages exist, try to manually trigger output generation:
        • Use transaction ME9F (Message Output: Purchase Orders).
        • Enter the PO number and execute to generate output messages.
      • If output is not generated, check the output type, medium, and partner functions.
    3. Manually Create Output Message:

      • In ME23N, you can try to create a message manually by clicking on the Messages tab and then New Entries.
      • Enter the output type, medium, and other required details.
      • Save and then try to process the output again.
    4. Check Partner Functions and Vendor Master Data:

      • Ensure that the vendor master data has the correct communication details (email, fax, etc.) if the output medium requires it.
      • Check if the partner functions are correctly assigned.
    5. Check for Authorization Issues:

      • Sometimes, the user may not have authorization to display or process messages.
      • Verify user authorizations related to output processing.
    6. Re-generate Output Messages:

      • If messages were deleted or not generated due to errors, try to regenerate them using ME9F or by re-saving the PO.
