PO mandatory in case of advance payment to vendor

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

We want to implement new practise in our system that all downpayments to vendors should must be made with refrence to Purchase Order. My question is how can we achieve this functionality in System. Expert's reply is awaited.

Dear:

How about making PO field mandatory for posting key of down payment as you are saying that you want to make PO field mandatory in every area where down payments are made. This will work. Check it in OB41 for further configuration. Also check in OBC4 for recon account status.

Hi, posting key sounds good, but there are some issues.

If you use posting key 29,21, also DPR(39). Then you need to make required field PO for them.

So, what about reversing old documents,39- appear while reversing 29,

Dear:

I think for a major change in process there will be no harm if you have to reverse the down payment requests which are just notional (have no financial impacts). It is entirely a managerial decision to go ahead with new process improvements or to just linger on with obsolete and control lacking methods.
