Un able to change PO , which has blocked Invocie

[Former Member]

Hi ,

Implementing SRM5.0 , SP 4 , ECS scenario with R/3 - 4.7 as back end.

PO is created for Materials in SRM & replicated to R/3 .

Creating an Invocie in R/3 for Qty higher than PO Qty . Invocie gets blocked due to tolerance of Qty.

When I try to change PO in SRM to increase the Qty to match Blocked Invocie qty , PO gets changed in SRM but doesnt get replicated to Back end.Status " Error in Process"

Application Monitor shows message , Blocked Invocie already exists in backend for this PO.

Please advise

Hi ,

In case the qty enetered is within the toleranace range , you will be able to create inovice and is blocked . I think you can release the invoice in R/3 system and you can go ahead. I won't think the increase in the PO qty is not required for this kind of business scenario.

Please reward points fro useful answers.

HI Mani,

Thanks for the inputs.

Please note that we are posting an Invocie before a GR . So it doenst have reference qty to check the Tolerance.

Invocie can be posted for higher qty, which obviously gets blocked .

If we simulate entire scenario in R/3, i.e create PO in R/3 , post an Invocie for higher Qty , change PO for Qty , system allows to do that.

It is only in case of PO created in SRM , Invocie posted in R/3 , then try to chagne PO in SRM , the issue is faced#

Pl advise

Hi Sunil,

You first delete the blocked invoice and then try replicating the changed PO from SRM to R/3.

This time it will help.
