Recipient Field Non Modifiable for PO with IR\GR

[Former Member]

Hi All,

SRM 7 .. Extended classic scenario.

We have made recent change for sending Goods Recipient field from SRM PO to ECC PO and it worked successfully.

But when we change old POs (Price or quantity) which was created before the change and which has invoice or GR done.. We get the error message "account assignment cannot be changed after GR or Invoice." It is because the Goods recipient field is updated now and this Goods Recipient field is updated in Account assignment Tab in Item details of the ECC PO which makes it like Account assignment change.

Is there any way to update only the goods recipient field in the account assignment for old POs which has GR or IR in place.

Regards,

Hello Yathithya Kathirvel,

     You are getting this error because of the changes which was done regarding , stopping of the change of the account assignment category once the follow-on document exits in the system. So as per the change system reads the code and then checks for the old PO's follow-on Documents and once its true it won't allow to update it and you will get the error " account assignment cannot be changed after GR or Invoice" .  I am not sure if you can maintain for the older PO's but for new PO's your code will work fine. Even if  you try to update through FM/BADI , then again it will re-trigger the error message.

Thanks
