PO Quantity Greater Than SC Quantity?

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I've created Local PO at SRM based on sourcing process, which came from SC. Somehow, I edited the quantity of PO greater than SC and SRM didn't throw error message. As we know, if we do the same thing at ECC (PR to PO) then error message will appear and tells us that the requirement has been ordered in full quantity.

Is it how the standard SRM works, without quantity checking against already ordered item for related SC?

Basically, we want to create PO from more than one bid.

Appreciate your helps.

Sincerely,

Ted

Hi Ted,

This is as designed, the purchaser user can modify the quantity in the subsequent purchase order.

Hi Jason,

Yes, it's obvious that we can change subsequent PO, including quantity. But the problem is how can the quantity be greater than the SC quantity? Beside, we can't control required quantity vs ordered quantity

This will lead to ordering the unnecessary materials.

Thanks,

Ted
