In Sage X3, we know that back to back orders are nothing but purchase orders created from associated sale orders. It means we can create as many purchase orders as there are sales orders. These type of orders are generally used for products which are ordered or manufactured on demand.
There are certain industries who work with back to back order mechanism with selective products. In such scenarios, the products are not managed in stock but purchased on demand and sold simultaneously. As soon as the product is received, it is sold to the customers.
Back to back orders are of two types:
- Direct back to back order: In this there is no need of stock management. The ordered products directly delivered to the customers from suppliers.
- Back to back delivery order: In this, once purchase order is generated against sales order, direct allocation of received stock take place.
While creating back to back order, there are certain setups you need to follow. You can refer blog for the same on:

Back-to-back-order or Drop Shipment Setup in Sage ERP X3
Sometimes, you may face some errors in spite of setting all the required things. One of the error you might have faced is ‘Order No. XXX Not converted No pricing’. Refer below screen shot.
From the error description, we can identify that this is related to pricing setup.
There can be below reasons for this error.
- No price list: The system has not found a purchase price list for the back-to-back order supplier.
- No base price: No purchase base price is entered on the product record.
- PURCTLPRI0 Parameter set to ‘No’: The product has no standard cost, or the PURPRICE – Price by default standard cost parameter (chapter ACH, group PRI) is set to ‘No’.
In order to solve the error follow below steps.
- No price list: You can define purchase price for the ordered product in price list setup.
Navigate to: Purchasing -> Price list -> Price list entry
2. No base price: If product has no base price, then you can setup the same in ‘Base price’ field on Product master screen.
Navigate to: Common data -> Products – > Sales (tab)
3. PURCTLPRI0 Parameter set to ‘No’:
You can verify if the purchase price control parameter is set to NO. In order to check it, navigate to: Setup – > Parameters – > ACH -> PRI (group)
You can set parameter to ‘Control’ if it is set to ‘No Control’.
4. No standard cost:
You can set up standard cost of the product from below screen.
Navigate to: Common data -> Products -> Standard Cost
Thus, by identifying exact cause of the pricing error you can resolve it while back to back order generation with above mentioned steps.
