Hi,

After I run the Transaction ME98 and created the variant, after the execution F8, in the Spool I see the log as "Document 3000000004 Deleted" but when I go to SE16N and view the document in the header table EKKO, the field LOEKZ is still blank, any ideas on this??

Hi

I have check again, even through I have mark the items in the purchase order as deleted, the deletion indicator EKKO-LOEKZ is still blank for the specified PO. Where as for the items EKPO-LOEKZ it is marked as 'L'. May I ask how can I also set the field EKKO-LOEKZ as 'L' also? (marked for deletion)

Hi,

If you mark items for deletion in PO then it updates "L" in EKPO-LOEKZ and if you archive PO using transaction ME98 then it updates "L" in EKKO-LOEKZ

Hi,

I have deleted all the items in the PO, but I have heard that there is a cancel button which will mark the whole Purchase Order as Cancelled/Deleted but I cannot find this, can anyone please help me, thanks.

[Former Member]

well there is a button for delete and it look like a garbage bin button select it and click on the relevant line item

[Former Member]

one way out is select all the lines and select delete button. other term you are using cancellation of PO its associated with release strategy. it means approver can cancel release the po with his remarks but that po will remain open in system so better is use delete option.

points if solved/helpful

Hi,

Is the release PO strategy something related to the Approver deciding whether to approve or reject this purchase order? Can you give me more details on this also, thanks.

[Former Member]

yes its same.

its through customisation

you have to create charateriscis,class then relaease strategy,release code,release group,release indiacor and then classification

path is MAT. management-purchase orderrelease procedure for po

as mentioned in above post you can not cancel a po at header level

and change the quantity in po equal to the quantity for which gr has been done

hi

Po is not cancelled at header level.

Either you delete/block or make delivery completed indicator ticked for all the items in PO, Then only PO can be cancelled or closed.
