Hi,

In Purchase Req., in Status Tab, ther e is a field as block indicator.

In our system, only one selection is blocked by requester. Can I add another selection as blocked by buyer in somewhere else by confirguation? Thx very much~!

Hi Kerry,

Do u want to close this Pur. Req for no further requirements, if that is the case then u can mark a closed indiactor in ME52N>Enter PR>GO to corresponding line item>item Details>Quantities/Dates tab-->Closed indicator

Click on the closed indicator if any open line items are present, so that no further requirements are considered.

BR,

Krishna

Hi, the reason I need this is, sometime some PR will not be used, like incorrect PR. So the buyer need to set something to block the PR. The place I find to solve my issue is using the Block indicator. Do you think "Close" is the right way for my request?

if u use the close indicator then system will assume that there is no requirement

actually u should use bith close as well as block

because if u use only block then system will assume that requirement is still there but if you use only close indicator then may be buyer can still use it to convert in po

the block should only be a short term solution.

As requisitions with a block at the status tab are still taken into accoutn as active for MRP.

You can test it. create a requisition, Check MD04, set the block indicator, check MD04.

You will see that MD04 will not change.

If you dont want the requistion, then you have either delete the item, or put the complete indicator in the quantity / date tab.
