SAP Message WVMI211 - No items found for creating purchase order

Diagnosis
A purchase order is to be generated in inbound processing of IDocORDRSP/VMI. The system could not, however, find any order items in theIDoc data. This can have several reasons:

  • The incoming IDoc did not contain any items.

  • The Purchase order entry: vendor indicator was not set
  • in the vendor master record for any of the items in the IDoc.

    System Response
    No purchase order created.

    Procedure
    Depending on the cause of the problem, either:

    • make sure that your EDI partner transfers item data;

    • arrange for your vendor to enter orders for the materials concerned by
    • setting the indicator in the purchasing data view of the vendor master.
