Hi,
I'm testing the automatic generation of Return Purchase order.
i've customized mvt type 161 for automatic PO and default purch.document
type in transaction mb01;
When i do a GR with movement type 161 (without indicating any PO as it will
be automatiocally created)and tr.code MB01 (this is what we are still using
despite rel.46C), i've got the message
"Purchase order cannot be created for item 0001"
Message no. M7 250
Diagnosis
Possible reasons for this include:
- There is no purchasing master data or incorrect purchasing
master data (for example, in the purchasing info record, in the
source list, or in the quota arrangement).
- Organizational data is missing, for example, purchasing
organization and purchasing group.
- There is no master record for the specified vendor.
- The specified vendor is blocked (deletion indicator is set).
- There is no master record for the specified material. "
i've checked but i don't see anything wrong.
Please advise.
Answer:
It could be this:
for each 'return vendor' their should also be a customer. So create a customer with the same name as the vendor. Their should also be a link between the vendor and the customer --> their is a field vendor in customer maintenance (vd02) and a field customer in vendor maintenance (xk02).
Also in the vendor master record the return flag should be turned on.

Did you maintain the valid purchasing info record for your material and vendor combination? Did you manage to assign the standard purchasing organization to your plant location via Transaction OMKI?.
