deleting PO item category through configuration

[Former Member]

I am going to delete PO item category 'Subcontracting' through configuration since we don't want user to use that for NB type PO.

1. Will it impact existing PO's with item category 'Subcontracting' ?

2. Can I restore it through configuration after few months ?

3. Will it have any other impact on system ?

Hi,

If no PO / receiving mateials r there u can delete it, but if they do not want to use let it be there, i hope deleting item category maynnot be the right,

Thanks Bhima,

But,

1. If all POs are closed, I don't think any issue for GI and IR.

2. Also I think we can again restore it through configuration by adding item category to PO type and mintaining linkage.

Kindly confirm.
