We have just upgrade to the support stack 10 and have had a few problems the main one being : -
We create a SC and go through the approval process and at the last approval stage the PO number is issued but the order then goes to HELD? it is not passed to the backend. But we can push it by going into the order and re ordering it???
Please can you help me?
Prior to patching this was working, the basic problem is in live after last approval the PO is create both in SRM and ERP.
At present not after patching in DEV the po is created in SRM in held status and NO po is created in ERP

Hi Steve,
The P.O is created in R/3 back end only when the P.O is ordered and approved in SRM.If the P.O is in held status it is not considered as the ordered/approved P.O
The P.O is in held status because Vendor is not assigned in Shopping cart through a contract, info. record, Vendor list etc. If the vendor is entered as a preferred vendor, it is not considered as an assigned vendor.
In the above case the shopping cart is considered as incomplete so the P.O is created in Held status.
The P.O is in ordered status only when the shopping cart info. is complete.
Hope this makes you more clear.

Hi Steve,
Since it says Sourcing never carried out, the P.O is getting created automatically once the SC gets approved.
If the SC has an assigned source of supply (completeness of data) then the P.O will be generated and the status will be ordered.
In case the SC is without assigned source of supply then the data is considered as incomplete, in such a case P.O is created but in Held status.You have to order this P.O by assigning a vendor using Process Purchase orders link.
Hope this makes you more clear. Clarifications are welcome.

Hi Steve,
If the P.O is getting into the held status just after creating / approving the SC then check you Sourcing settings in SPRO.
SPRO > IMG > SRM > SRM server > Sourcing > Define sourcing for product categories
In that for the concerned product category if the setting is Sourcing never carried out then the approved SC will not go to Sourcing cockpit / Purchaser's work list. Instead it will directly create a P.O in Held / ordered status depending upon the completeness of data in SC.
If the SC is incomplete then the P.O is created in Held status otherwise the P.O will be created with ordered status.
Maintain the concerned category ID instead of " * " in the category ID column.
Hope this helps in resolving your issue. Clarifications are welcome.
