Product Allocation : Product allocation check found changes to the confirmation


Issue :  Product allocation check found changes to the confirmation and the confirmation quantity is 'Zero'.


Solution : This issue occurs if a custom info structure is created with characteristics other than that of the standard product allocation structure S140. In such case, program User_Exit FV45VFZY, Include  USEREXIT_QUOTA_KEY_VALUE to pass custom characteristics from LIS to be filled and pass to internal LIS structure.


I have a Custom info structure created and notice from the above debug screen that the Material group and Material number fields are not filled. With appropriate code in place fill the custom fields to pass data to MCVBAP (LIS Item level info structure). The data from  these structures performs a check against the SXXX structure maintained for product allocation and confirms the quantities.

S4 HANA Customer Master Sales Area Data - Changes to BP are not saved

Issue
Changes to BP are not not saved when we extend the BP data to Sales Area even though you see the message "Changes have been saved" without any other error message. However, if you open the BP again, you will notice that the changes actually are not saved to database.

Cause
What I noticed is that if there are some mandatory fields that are required to save the data, but there are no errors are displayed during the 'Save' of the document.

Resolution
1. Execute TCode MDS_PPO2.
2. Input the Technical Creation date (date you actually performed the changes) in the selection screen.
3. Check if there is any error in the PPO log. If there is error, please correct them then perform the change on BP again.
