SAP Note 26027 - Converting PReq into purchase order: Dialog indic.

Symptom:

When you convert a purchase requisition into a purchase order, the system issues warning message 06240 ´Requisition has different doc. type & and item category >&<´. However, the purchase requisition to be converted has document type NB and no item category just as the purchase order to be created. The warning message is only ignored after pressing the ENTER key twice.

Cause and prerequisites

Table T161A determines the copy rules of different purchasing document types. The dialog indicator causes that a warning message is issued during the copying procedure. Table T161A in the customer system contains an entry in the form NB 0 F NB 0 >< >< X

Solution
Please cancel the dialog indicator using transaction OMEB or by editing table T161A with transaction SM31.
