Hi,

Welcome to SAP business one forum.

1. You can use approval procedure based query

2. SP_TN to block changes in date provided there is object code for purchase request.

Hi,

My company currently using SAP B1 version 9 PL05.

I have already applied approval procedure that it will always launch approval procedure for Purchase Request document (attached screenshots for setup approval procedure).

With above setup, Purchase Request document can only added after it has been approved (an [Approved] text has been shown on document view window and status is 'Open' as per attached below)

The dates have not disabled for editing although it has go through approval process.

The dates also not disabled for editing (Status is 'Closed' as per attached screenshot below) after it has been drawn to Purchase Order document.

Is anyone encounter this issue?

I know that SP_TN can prevent update but it is just a workaround method, not a best solution that I'm looking at.

Hi,

This is standard behavior in SAP.

Approval procedure will applicable only to line items of document. Still approved document can be changed for posting, due and remarks field.

Hi,

When the purchase request has already been approved and added, I do not want the dates (the one I highlight above) to be editable.
