Rename WBS impact in SRM documents

[former_member209919]

Dear Expert,

I need support with one topic in SRM. We créate SC and PO in SRM and we replicate in ECC.

All these objects are assigned to a WBS number.

We need to rename some WBS ID in our ECC system (PS, transaction CJ20N), this wouldn't impact in our MM documents (PR, PO, GR...), they will continue displaying the correct WBS (because the object is the same)

But our SRM documents will continue assigned to the old WBS code (that doesn't exist anymore). We will have an inconsistence between SRM and MM and the only way to solve this is reassigning the WBS in SRM (change the WBS for the same WBS, but with different code).

If we don this manually or using standard funtions we will have the problema that the POs would need to be reappoved, and it is not correct for us because from business point of view we are not changing nothing.

Does anybody have a solution to reassign the WBS without modify the document to prevent the PO approved are converted in PO not approved?

Thanks for your support,

Clara

Any idea?

Thanks!

Dear Clara,

Extended classic Purchase Order can only  be changed from SRM side. In standard, if you change the accounting information in backend ECC it will not be reflected on the already created EC PO.

To solve the issue on a non-standard way, you might think about a BAdI implementation (DOC_CHANGE_BADI) which checks the PO version and - in case of a Change version - validates the accounting information.

Hope I could help.
