3676383 - Unknown internal server error in Manage Purchasing info records app

Symptom

  • The customer reported an issue where users were unable to access purchasing info record details in the “Manage Purchasing Info Records” app.
  • Upon attempting to open the details section of an info record, the following error message appeared: “In the context of Data Services, an unknown internal server error occurred.”

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the Manage Purchasing Info Records app.
  2. Click the Go button to display available info records.
  3. Attempt to navigate to the details section of any info record.
  4. Observe the system error message: “In the context of Data Services, an unknown internal server error occurred.”

Cause

The issue was caused by an invalid value (‘O’) in the auto-sourcing field within the purchasing info record master data.
The system expects a boolean value (‘X’ or ‘Space’) for proper processing. The invalid entry triggered an internal server error during data retrieval in the Manage Purchasing Info Records app.

Resolution

  1. Update the auto-sourcing field to contain a valid value (‘X’ or ‘Space’) instead of ‘O’.
  2. Ensure that availability start and end dates are maintained in ME12 (table EINA, field LIFAB).
  3. Clear browser and system caches, then retest the navigation in the app.
  4. Validate that users can now open purchasing info record details without errors.
