Goods Receipting a SRM PO that is awaiting Approval?

[Former Member]

Hiya.

I have a issue that is causing many problems. Please, has anybody seen this before in SRM 5?

Basically, the user creates a SRM PO from a Cart for the value of $100 and this needs no approval. If they then increase the PO value to $1000, the PO is then correctly required for approval with SRM workflow. When the PO is saved, it has a status 'AWAITING APPROVALS'.

Then why does SRM still allow the PO to be subject to a goods receipt confirmation with the old value of $100 even eventhough it is awaiting approval if $1000?

warmest thanks,

Pooja.

Hi,

The problem is once the PO has been changed, it creates a new change version. This change version is still not active until approval happens. Till this time the old version is taken as active version by the system and it can be considered for confirmation. If you want to prevent confirmation creation during this period, then you can create an error message using doc_check badi to say some thing like 'Change PO is awaiting approval, No confirmation possible.'

Hi Sanjeev,

can any changes be made under IMG version management config or is bbp_doc_check_badi the only option for this?

Hi,

Its not advisable to make any changes to version management as PO is a legal document and versioning is required. Hence doc_check badi may be the only option.

Dear Sanjeev,

What seems weird is that SAP would allow a document still awaiting approval to be reciepted and I fail to understand wwhy they allow this in the standard system.
