Block vendor for shopping cart creation but not for shopping cart approval

[Former Member]

Hello SRM Experts,

My client would like to block a vendor so that no new shopping cart can be created for that vendor. They have already block it using the BP transaction. However, user can still create shopping cart for that vendor if they copy from an old shopping cart and then modify it. When doing so, the system only display a waring message.

This warning message can be change to an Error message through configuration. However, by doing so this will impact the approval workflow also making it impossible for user to approve existing shopping cart.

Is there a way to stop new shopping cart to be created by user while enabling the approval of existing shopping cart? And can this be done without any code implementation.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

hi

very good. we need to do some development to check. the bad thing this it is copying the same vendor or not even clearing the vendor.

now the control goes to requestor of the cart rather than buyer. is it allow to create a PO after ordering it.

lot of wholes in old purchase order templates..

raise a message to sap...
