How to enable edit mode to company code option in the copied PO in SRM 7.0?

[Former Member]

Hello all,

Another strange requirement!

When we copy an old PO or when we reopen a saved PO, the Company code drop down option is freezed at the header part of the PO. How to enable this option for the user to edit the company code further?

Regards

Hi,

If you tried to change a SAVED PO and the company code is disabled for editing, then you should report this as a bug for SAP support. Assuming your buyer is allowed to buy from multiple company codes, the field should be open for selection for a PO which is yet to be released.

HI Madhan,

As far as I know, the behavior you have mentioned is Standard behavior of SAP SRM. You are copying an old Purchase Order to create a new PO, the system assumes that all the important header information is same (that is the reason you are using the copy functionality) and gets copied to new PO.

When it comes to 'Saved PO' the system initially determines the company code from the organization assignment of the buyer who created the purchase order.

In such cases, I hope, the user can create multiple purchase orders with different company codes and treat them as templates.

This can be a workaround for the functionality your customer is looking for.

Thanks and regards,

Ranjan
