Symptom
Process type is not same as the item you selected while creating new line item using Copy button in Purchase order.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
Scenario 1:
- Go to Purchase order work center
- Go to Create new Purchase order in common task
- Click on Add row button under items
- Now you will see by default it has Process type Non stock
- If you enter a To stock material in 1st row and then automatically the Process type changes to To stock
- If you manually change the process type to non stock in 1st row
- Then click on Copy button by selecting 1st row
- You will see that new item has Process type To stock.
Scenario 2:
- Go to Purchase order work center
- Go to Create new Purchase order in common task
- Click on Add row button under items
- Now you will see by default it has Process type Non stock
- If you enter a Non stock material in 1st row
- If you manually change the process type to To stock in 1st row
- Then click on Copy button by selecting 1st row
- You will see that new item has Process type Non stock.(currently it shows as To stock but it will be fixed in one of the future releases.)
You expect that since you used Copy button you want system to blindly copy the copied line item details on to new line item.
Cause
Scenario 1:While creating second row we again have to read material master and the material master tells us this is a To stock material so we will default the process as To stock
Scenario 2:While creating second row we again have to read material master and the material master tells us this is a Non stock material so we will default the process as Non stock
Resolution
You may change manually the process type as per your requirement.
See Also
Note: wedo not allow a Non stock material to be used as To stock by manually changing the process type cause in the material master you do not have planning and logistics data available. so we request you to not change the Non stock material manually to process type :To stock.
If you try to proceed after making such manual change then system will throw you errors as well that you cannot use process type as To stock.
