SAP Note 17034 - No. of purchase orders in Purch. Info. Sys. = 0

Symptom:

The number of purchase orders equals zero in the purchasing group analysis of the Purchasing Information System. The same applies, for example, to the number of requests for quotation and all other counters that are determined per document(header).

Cause and prerequisites

Incorrect customizing of the document type. Particularly relevant for new customer-defined document types.

Solution
In customizing of the document types for purchasing, field "UpdateGroup" must be filled. For the counters per document (header) to be updated in purchasing standard information structure S011, "SAP" must be entered. If nothing is entered, the counters per document (header) will not be updated.
