Symptom
Error: "Transaction failed; close window and try again" appears when trying to save a purchase order.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
Pre-Requisite: You have a PDI Validation script in place that will reject the save based on certain conditions
- Go to Inbound Logistics Work Center.
- Go to Purchase Order.
- Open any Purchase Order.
- Click on Post Good Receipt button.
- Add the value to the fields in such a way that the PDI validation script is called and rejects the save.
- Correct the value added in the previous step so the PDI validation does not reject the save again.
- Observe the error "Transaction failed; close window and try again".
Cause
- This is the way the transaction is designed for save in case of lean processes.
- If the save is rejected once by the PDI validation and all required standard fields are populated, the standard validation does not allow a save to be called again in the same transaction, resulting in the error message "Transaction failed; close window and try again".
Resolution
This is currently the standard system expected behavior. Lean processes involve a number of background operations, which could result in inconsistent data, hence this check is in place.
