What could be possible reason for the message:
"Purchase Order xxx has no item".

Possible explanations include :

- If Purchase order Document is Subject to Release, Ensure document is Released

- The PO is on hold (not saved fully pending addition of extra detail)

- The open lines on the PO are service (category D) lines rather than material lines and therefore require a service receipt via ML81N not a MIGO

- If Confirmation Control has been set in Purchase order line item Remove the same and Save.

- Ensure Goods Receipt / issue is not done already.

Possible Reasons and Solutions could be :

1. Full Quantity has been received already

Solution: If required Increase the Quantity

2. You might have put Delivery completion indicator

Solution: Remove Delivery completion indicator

3. Confirmation Controls Exists

Solution: You might have selected Order Acknowledgement or Inbound Delivery etc.

Check above points and take necessary corrective measures.

You may also do following Checks, at your end:

1. PO date is in future

2. In T. Code: ME22N --> Tab: Delivery (at PO item-level details), 

Check whether Box: Goods Receipt is ticked or not, if goods receipt check box is not ticked you will not be able to do the GR.

3. Also, check Tab: Confirmation. Remove the Option: confirmation Reqd.

4. PO subjected to release strategy (T. Code: ME29N)
