Diagnosis
You are entering an ordering transaction involving a vendor to whom a
plant has been assigned. Normally, materials would be supplied by one
plant to another in such a transaction.
This process involves a delivery and billing document in the SD system.
The PO for this appears directly in the delivery due list of the issuing
plant (vendor) and therefore does not need to be transmitted.
However, items without a material master record cannot appear in the
delivery due list.
Procedure
Items without a material master record can only be ordered from vendors
without a plant assignment.
The investigation, because the group is a supplier SZSP suppliers, and has been associated with the factory code SZSP together.
