How to block a PO for subsequent debit posting

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Anyone knows if exist a way to block a PO to subsequent debit posting?

The business requirement is: the complementary costs of importation process are posted using subsequent debit for POs. So after the finish of importation process, the PO must be unavailable to subsequent debit posting.

Thanks

Hi,

    You may check the following options:

1. Go to PO - item level - invoice tab and flag the check box "final invoice" and maintain the message M8705 as error message in OMRM. Test the scenario again and revert back.

2. Block the PO item.

Hi AKPT,

I did the option 2 and the requirement was solved.

Thanks for your help.

Okay, then I have to add the usual warning.

Locking the item should be a short term solution to prevent posting until an issue is fixed, e.g. to block a GR until the right price is entered into the PO.

Reason: this block also blocks the PO from being archived some day in future.

Ok Jürgen, Thanks for the warning.

I did not know this information. I will verify this impact in long term.
