Change of GOA in R3

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I would like to have a opinion for a doubt. Can we change a SRM GOA transferred to R3 in R3?

I have my own doubts about it....but would like to have a opinion of some expert.

Also, if yes, is there a way of avoiding this?

Hi Amit,

GOA created in SRM is distributed to back end R/3 either as a contract or a scheduling agreement.

When ever you craete follow on documents using those contracts / S.As in R/3 the GOA gets updated in SRM.

You can modify those contracts / S.As manually but the changes will not be replicated and displayed in GOA.

Hope this makes you more clear.

Award points for suitable ansers.

Hi Teja,

Can we change that SRM GOA in R/3 once it transferred in R/3?

It is clear that if we create followon doc like release order in R/3 it gets update in SRM also. But if we are creating GOA in SRM then why one shld change this in R/3 becasue we already have the functionality of distributting the GOA at Plant level in R/3 itself.

we are woking in Extended classic scenario(SRM4.0). As well as we are facing problem for data trasfer in GOA like internal note is getting updated in R/3 but how this happens in the system that still not clear as till date we were not getting this Internal note replicated in R/3 but this happens with only once GOA. Do we have any way to track this issue?

Hi Navneet,

You can not change the GOA in R/3 as i said in my previous message.

The GOA is distributed to R/3 as either a contract or a Scehduling agreement. You can change only a scheduling agreement / contract not the GOA. But those changes will not get reflected in SRM (GOA).

GOA is used when you have Classic Scenario. I have not seen GOA used for ECS.

Hope this answers your query.

Hi,

I am not sure that i agree with you on the last point you made. GOA is used in ECS too. However, i got the answer you are trying to give for the change in the Contract in R3. Thanks
