The following error appears
"Work item 60772: Linkage to object BUS2009 event

2) We could create two Purchase Orders for full amount & quantity out of one Purchase Requisition. two goods receipts and invoice receipts on their respective POs. How can We avoid this kind of double transactions?
Ans:
For PO 's:
Define buyers' functional authorizations in the customizing
for purchasing, there you can unmark PO w/o reference allowed. Buyer's
functional authorization, say 'abc' can be created using transaction code
OMET.
Assign this 'abc' to a particular user by using parameter
ID "EFB" (trans su52).
For GR and IR:
Make the warning message as an error in customizing of
messages under Inventory Management or Invoice
Verification, respectively.
For IR:
Mark the indicator in the vendor master for checking
of double invoices.
3) Is there a transaction or Report available to see the scrapped quantity of a particular material where goods issue is done using movement type 551?
Ans:
If you want to manage the inventory of Scrap, create another material ID for scrap and receive as byproduct. When you issue goods against Movement type 551, the material is removed from inventory by writing it off the books.
4) We want to run multi-plant planning for 3 plants A, B and C , where the requirements of plant A and B are transferred to Plant C. Plant C is expected to consolidate the requirement and convert these requirements into requisitions and then into POs. When we do a planning at Plant C, we are unable to see the requirements for plant A and plant B. We are using the special procurement key 40 for all the materials being planned. Can we do multi plant planning at plant level as well as Material level?
Ans:
The special procurement key is defined for the Planning plant and does not contain supplying plant. This key may be copied to create new key. Then enter the supplying plant in it. Use this key in material master. Now all the requirements of plant A and B will be called in planning plant C.
5) We are doing goods receipt with PO . How can we find whether there is any USER EXIT available which is triggered before the document is saved?
Ans:
The User exit in your case could be MB_CF001 and use transaction SMOD to look for user exits
6) In MM pricing schema, there are a list of selection from A to M and 1 to 8. How can we make use of the condition sub-total field?
Ans:
Subtotal field on Pricing schema are useful in number
of cases.
# For Ex: 1 is Carry over value to KOMP-KZWI1.

Rebate subsequent settlement.
# S is used for the final net inclusive, cash discount,
rebates and any other conditions including statistical
# For reporting in LIS
# Used in the layout for printing.

10) During a good issue for a inventory product (HIBE), we assign by the automatic account assignment a GL account in relation to the valuation class of the product. However we would like to change this GL account automatically depending of the cost center requested the product for consumption. How can we do it?
Ans:
Try OKB9 where you can find the cost center account assignment table. However this GL account becomes defaulted for all the products used by the cost center. Note that GBB/VBR process key governs the credit posting for cost center issues in Automatic Account Assignment (AAA).
If you want change Account assignment for exception materials , try the following options:
1.For all exception materials define a new valuation class and setup all inventory posting accounts for this exception valuation class. Here the AAA automatically picks up the G/L a/c.
2.In the inventory screen allow the user to enter G/L a/c manually . Configure the IMG in inventory so that user account overrides the AAA determined account
3. Define a new movement type by copying 201 to say 901. Then in Valuation IMG define a transaction key for 901 under account grouping for movement. types. Define G/L accounts for this new transaction key. For exception issues users have to use this new movement type.
11) We have specified in MRP for requisitions to be created. The document type of the requisitions created is always the type NB. How can we change the document type created?
Ans:
Refer transaction 'OMH5'. Define the document type required that you want in ME51.
12) We have created a workflow for the purchase requisition
approval process . When the event (BUS2009, RELEASESTEPCREATED) is triggered
to kick off WF, the following error message is appearing
Work item XXXXXX: Linkage to object BUS2009 event
REJECTED cannot be written.
Diagnosis: The instance linkage between the required event and the specified work item cannot be entered in the type linkage table of the event manager. The reason is either a database error or an error when generating internal linkage numbers. What to do: Check the number range object 'SWE_EVTID' How can this be fixed?
Ans:
1. Must update the number range for events object SWE_EVTID
with transaction SNRO.
Ex: SWE_EVTID: 01 000000000001 999999999999.
2. SWE2, double click on BUS2009 entries, check GLOBAL field, ENABLE field will be updated
3. Error when executing the Workflow. Transaction code SWLE not defined. Apply OSS note 43986 to fix.
13) How can we make a Taxcode as default on purchase order item detail screen?
Ans 1:
Use condition type NAVS with access sequence 0003 to default the taxcode in the purchase order item using conditions.
Ans 2:
Go to IMG.
Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Define screen layout at document level.
Search for the transaction ME21N. Double click on ME21N. Then search for TaxCode (in GR/IR Control). It is advisable to configure also the info record. The tax code should be a required entry, and whatever you specify here will be the default value in the Purchase order.
Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Purchasing info record -> define screen layout.
When you get here you search for the transaction ME12, double click here; search for Input VAT indicator.
14) We have defined EA (each) as 0 decimal place in configuration. But transaction ME2L shows this field with three decimal places. How can I change to actual number of decimal places?
Ans:
The quantity (MENGE) in that report must have been set for 3 decimal places. Table EKPO may have to be corrected accordingly.
15) We have created a new movement type and assigned to a schedule line. When goods issue is posted, message - movement type zzz is not allowed for customer goods movement? Why?
Ans:
Use transaction code OMJJ and check the "Allowed Transactions" for customizing movement types.
