Prevent Material PO creation till WBS status is released

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Please suggest how can I prevent creation of material PO giving WBS assignment till WBS is released.

I know I can control it through System Status (Drawback is cross client setting) and User status.

Anyother method?

Thank You

Best thing is to Lock WBS for Account assignment

WBS >>EDIT>>Status>>Lock>>>Account Assignment

They can unlock the status of WBS when they are releasing WBS Element?

Try this

This is a standard functionality which can be acheived using User status.

Create a CRPO user status which allows business transactions PR/PO creation. Set the Influencing parameters such that this user status can be set only when the WBS element is released.

You can also try using Validations & Exits, but for this you need technical help.

Hi,

This is standard functionality in SAP that you can create PR and PO without allocating budget to the WBS Element.So create a user status that will prohibit the system to create PR and PO in CRTD system status.

The steps are:

Go to OK02 and create a user status .

then create two statuses NBUD and BUDG.

1.under NBUD & BUDG choose object type WBS .

2.In NBUD Forbid the Material purchase order,Material Purchase Requistion and Release.

3.In BUDG set Budgting and allow Release.

So system will not allow to release a project without allocating Budget.

Once you allocate budget system will change the status from NBUD To BUDG.

Take care.

Otherwise maintain user status for the same.
