Possible to "undo" completed requirements?

[Former Member]

When completing a requirement in Sourcing, can this be un-done?

Using complete button in Sourcing will complete the SC, i.e. the requirement is removed and no PO can be created for the SC. The Sourcing relevant flag in BBP_PD is set from X to Y.

Is there someway for the user to undo the SC completion?

A lot of times they accidently press the complete button, and then we'll have to update the table (BBP_PDIGP) from Y to X to bring their requirements back to sourcing.

As of now, the only workaround for the user is to create a new SC.

Any advice?

Hi Berg,

Technically as Disha said it could be done or as you are doing currently you can change the DB directly.

But functionally its wrong and its SOX complience violation.

the standard process is SC created ->goes thru approval process -> PO created for the approved SC.

Say if the PO created goes to full process and GR/ invoice and completed, then by changing the flag and creating another PO, you are going around the process where you bypass the approval for the new PO.

Thats the reason standard system doesnt support it.

However for accidental complete of PO it is a kind of workaround. ideally this shouldnt be done

Hi,

You can need to create a custom program to update the sourcing indicator in the table BBP_PDIGP for all the shopping carts you need to undo the completion.
