Change in Expected Delivery date (EDD) field in the PO after final release

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

There is a business requirement, whereby after PO final release is completed & when the PO is released for further processing, no further changes should be possible, except for the expected delivery date (EDD) field in the Delivery schedule tab of the PO Item details. Other than this, no changes should be possible in the PO, neither qty, nor price, not even the simple PO text should be allowed to get changed. In other words no field should be allowed to change.

Ideally, except the EDD field, other all fields should be in grey mode, or atleast changes in any of the PO fields (except EDD) should not be allowed to get saved after the PO is final released.

Please let me know if SAP provides any such facility, whereby you can selectively choose certain fields (like EDD field) on which Release Strategy should not be applied & changes should be allowed in these fields even after PO final release.

Thanks in advance,

Zafar.

First of all, The release strategy can trigger only if the qty and value changed.

now using fields selcetion of release strategy you can control all the fields except EDD but it will be applicable from first level of release.

But the way you are looking the solution is not directly availble with Std SAP. either you can use the user exit of release to control this or use version management.

Hi Charlie,

Thanks for your reply.

I checked accordingly & found that the field selection do exists for release procedure, but is available only in PR release, in the Release Indicators.

But for PO release, the above control was not found in Release Indicators of PO.

Please let me know where can i control the field selection for PO release.

That will serve my purpose then.

Thanks in advance.

I would suggest to use Order Confirmations, and those confirmations will affect the delivery date in your stock requirement list (MD04).

Hope this helps,
