SRM PO not posting

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are in SRM 5.0, ECS. We just had year end close and we are in new FY(fiscal year). The PO that were created before new FY were in Awaiting Approval status at the end of FY10, and the approvals were done after new FY was opened. When users attempted to process the workflow item to approve the PO as the system came back up in new FY, could not process them. Is there a way to correct this, or do they need to delete the PO and start over?

The SRM Monitor error message reads u201CCannot post to year 2010 which is before current year 2011 of doc item 100XXXXX.u201D

Please advise.

Regards

Hi,

1. If the PO is account assigned, check if the cost object is closed, especially if the PO is for Asset and the Asset fiscal year has been changed...

2. Check and try to change the Delivery Date of the PO and then proceed

3.Check with the FI person on the error, it must be from the FI module

4. Take the message number and try to find out why and when this message is triggerred, may be debug!

I am not very certain but is any of the following available for SRM 5 -

1) Does the approver has a choice to "Resend" the PO? If so, it should mean the approver is sending the PO back to the buyer for revision.

2) Can the buyer "edit" / "change" the PO in "Awaiting Approval" status? If so, the buyer can recall the approval process and modify the PO him/herself.

If neither of the above is possible, you might need to create a new PO.
