Blocking PO creation for Materials

[Former Member]

Hi !

The procurement block on the material master can be applied on the Purchasing view using the 'Plant Specific Material Status'. I was wondering if this can be made document type specific as well.

We have document NB for regular POs, and ZRT for return-to-vendor POs. We would like to prevent the creation of NB POs via a error message, but allow creation of ZRT POs, for specific materials.

This would be necessary, for example, when a product is under recall.

Please let me know if there is a way to accomplish this.

Thanks!

Hi!

Thanks for your quick responses... however, your suggestions make sense if I need to block the PO types for all materials.

I am looking for a block that is similar to the 'Plant-specific status block' on the material master... but I want be able to allow creation of some PO types and prevent others... for that specific material only.

Thanks,

Anisha.

I understand your requirement, there is no other option available like plant specific material status in material master. It can easily solve through Authorization.

As per my knowldge it is not possible to restrict doc type as PO reffering master data.

hi,

Make the release stategy in such a way, that for this document type, the req. officer will check the PO otherwise will not release it...so that PO willl get blocked...

Here you can do it via document type..

It can be controlled through access control. Contact your basis man.

If it helps, kindly give points.
