PO Output on PO Rejection ?

Hi All,

If we have release strategy setup for a PO, we can configure the output only when a PO is released. In such a scenario if the PO is rejected there is no output issued. How can we achieve an output even when the PO is rejected?

Any Inputs ?.

Regards,

Chaitanya

Chaitanya,

The PO has been rejected, which means it should not be output.. isn't that the reason why it was rejcetd in tehfirst place. Moreover PO is a legal document being an External purchasing document and it is not advised that you output it if the purchase is not aurhorized. SO please have it approved and output appropriately

Hi Pavan,

Agreed to what you say. May be i should have given the total scenario. The PO actually gets created via an IDOC in SAP system from a thrid party system. But the PO status is to be updated to the thrid party system as when the PO is rejected or released in SAP. So when PO is released the output is issued and IDoc is sent but when PO is rejected there is no output where by the status idoc is not sent.

I guess that makes it clear as to why need output when the PO is rejected.

Regars,

OK, if this is to update a 3rd partys system, You should probably use Workflow to achieve what you want, You can have an event trigger for PO rejection and then you could define the successive steps thereforth.. PO output is not the solution, if you insist though, what you could do is this

1. Manually change the PO, go in to messages and create a manual message.. This wouldn't be locked.

2. You can configure a new message type and edit the requirement against it, The requirement is a 3 digit # often to be copied from the main requirment # something like 901.. copied from 101.

You can add code there to remove the Lock on that particular message , so it can be output

Hi Pavan,

I would be glad to make use of the first approach but i guess need to do a lot of research from my side for that. And for the second approach, if you can check out the configuration there is already a routine that exits for rejection. I don't know what for it is used. I tried using the same but dint' work out.

When I check the IMG, i found workflow for Purchasing. Does this relate to the event that gets genearted for PO rejection in anyway ?
