SAP ByD : modification of ship-to adress after PO approved

[former_member788638]

Hi SAP community,

In our business:

-We create and issue POs for W+4 every week
So week 1 for week 5, week 2 for week 6 and so on..
-We have 2 warehouses managed by Third-party, one in France, one in HK
So the PO are sent to one of these warehouses.

The PO 1 for week 5 is created with a Ship-to location and approved.
It may happens the Ship-to location changes during the 3 following week.

I tried to change the Ship-to adress but I was not able because the field is greyed out for the items.
I also tried to duplicate the items line, and change the Ship-to but I am still blocked because

Only one ship-to location permitted when ordering products to be received at externally-managed site.

So today, we must duplicate the PO 1, change the Ship-to, save it and send it to approval again which is time consuming for few added value.
Do you know if there is a way to change the Ship-to of a PO already approved?

Thank in advance!

Clément

Dear Clément,

The Third-party PO Ship-to adress is not editable once they are approved, any changes might lead to inconsistency in the follow-up documents so it is greyed out.

The only option is creating a new PO using the copy option with a different Ship-to address.

Thank you.

Best regards,
