Hi All,

The issue happens only on some of the POs being uploaded. I have set the For-Loop concurrency setting to 1 in order to import each record one at a time. Any idea on what's causing this?

Here are the steps:

1. Check if the PO already exists in F&O. There is none.

2. Created the PO header in PurchaseOrderHeadersV2. It was successful.

3. Check if there are line items for the PO in PurchaseOrderDetailsV2. There is none.

4. Delete all PO line items if any.

5. Created the PO Line item in PurchaseOrderDetailsV2. It was an error.

An error has occurred. Write failed for table row of type 'PurchPurchaseOrderLineV2Entity'. Infolog: Info: Cannot create a record in Purchase order lines (PurchLine). Purchase order: 7000097, 200./The record already exists..

Screenshot for step #3

Screenshot for step #5

Also checked if there are records after the step #5 hit the error. There is none.

Unable to create a Purchase Order line item. The record already exists.

Hi,

Here is a screenshot of the line item details I am trying to create. In this example, the PO only has 1 line item.

@Ramit, I am sending line number. Also, how do I disable the "Set based" option?

@Andre, are you referring to the Company (Data Area Id) when you say legal entities? If so, then the flow is not mixing it with various legal entities.

Hi Joel,

It could be related to a non-unique line number like mentioned by Ramit or maybe the flow is mixing data in various legal entities? I'm not able to see all details. I created a working Power Automate flow for purchase orders in the past. You can read my blog where you can also download my example: Let your Operations Flow - Excel to Purchase orders Example - Dynamicspedia
You can then check if you missed something in your flow.

Hi,

Are you sending any line number?

Also, can you disable the "Set based" option for the data entity and then try?
