PO error: Awaiting approval?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm currently experiencing errors when I try to Process my PO (with the Purchaser role)? It sets the status to Awaiting Approval, even though there are not approvers required, when I check the approval tab?

I can see the PO in the Enter PO Response tab? But why do I need to do this??

We using ECS with SRM 5

Hi

<b>Please go through the following SAP OSS Notes -></b>

Note 659907 - Purchase order: Incorrect messages via approval

Note 1054044 - BBP_POC:- Professional Purchaser Unable to Change a PO

Note 909012 - PO Change: Error in version comparison for deleted items.

Do let me know. Hope this will help.

I am having the same problem.

One of the items is deleted and user tries to Order the PO. It goes into Awaiting Approval. We are on SRM 5.5 SP4. All the notes mentioned are already part of SP4.

We too don't have any approvals for POs.

Any help would be appreciated. We are in Extended Classic mode

Thanks

Hi Ajay,

Do you try with note 962488 - "Workflow definition '&' not in version '&' (WD 401) ? this is not included in any SP.

Hi Shayne,

Take a look of the note

<b>Note 962488 - "Workflow definition '&' not in version '&' (WD 401)</b>

I hope it helps you.

Hi Shayne,

I would check the Workflow settings. It seems there are conflicting workflows

activated. Hope that helps somehow.

Hi Claudia,

That might be the case.....I don't know workflow that well and have been struggling with this for a while now.

Can you tell me which WF's I need to activate, to create a SC and then a PO and have the PO generated in the backend?

<u>I've activated the folloing WF's:</u>

WS 10000060 - Workflow Without Approval Shopping Cart

WS 14000075 - Workflow Without Approval for PurchOrder

WS 10400010 - Goods Receipt Workflow Without Approval

Hi,

Just activate the SC workflow i.e. WS 10000060 - Workflow Without Approval Shopping Cart

and Deactiavte the other 2 Workflows i.e.

WS 14000075 - Workflow Without Approval for PurchOrder

WS 10400010 - Goods Receipt Workflow Without Approval

BR,

Disha.

Shayne,

I had the same problem and applied the note 962488- Workflow definition & not in version & (WD 401) and it worked.

All the best
