Hi Mady,

When checking the PO, <u>usually</u> supplier is missing or supplier is a prefered one.

If prefered one, you will have to go in change PO mode and accept prefered supplier (filled by requester in the SC).

Once prefered supplier is coverted into fixed supplier, your PO is COMPLETE and you can order it.

Kind regards,

Hi Mady,

Goto the process PO

Search for your PO

Check button -> system will analyse your PO and issue errors description message

Go to change mode in the PO (button)

Correct your PO according to the system message

Order PO once completed

Kind regards,

Hi Yan,

I'm going in administration EBP for browser and I click and I click <b>Output Control purchase order</b>.

I think that it's normally to don't see my PO because this PO has not been edited it is Held.

<b>What are the steps for change this PO also</b> ?

Thanks

Hi Mady,

Don't go into output control po : that's for sending PO !!

Go to Process PO (purchaser role) to chnage PO !

Hi Christophe,

I try this transaction and I have a field operation type and an other field input what is that this last field ?

I put my PO and a system not find this.

What is a procedur to use this transaction for modify my PO.How are you find the data missing of PO ?

Mady,

in the "process PO" transaction, you can:

- create new POs

- search and process existing POs

In your case, search for existing POs, and try to find your PO ID.

You have followed the SRM210 training in January, don't you ?

So there should be no mistery around SRM for you...

Hi there,

i am facing the ae problem. the Po is going in Held status. The system is SRM 5 and SP10, after SP upgrade thsi problem is coming. I have check the BBP_POC and bbp_PD 'check' and no message is coming even though all the PO is going in held status...please help...

Hi Mady,

this is because your PO was considered as incomplete when it was created.

Go to PO transaction, search and process it, click on "Check" button to see what's wrong (or directly via BBP_PD, you find check list at the bottom).
