Can't Do PO Response In SRM7.0

[Former Member]

HI, My experts :

I work in SRM7.0 ,ECS , Package :SAPKIBKV03

The purchaser create one PO in SRM ,and select the "Purchase Order Response"in the Related Document .Then go to do response .But the down-list of the "POR"button is not active .So the purchaser can't do "POR".

PS: I find 2 notes :Note 1348213 Note :1356473 and upload the notes into my system .

BR!

The following document may provide the answer to the various problems listed within this thread, which was actually posted previously by another person:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/EN/45/e48fa77db34ebbe10000000a11466f/frameset.htm

The key phrase to focus on may be in the section titled "Creating a POR Manually".

The initial phrase in the first sentence wtihin this section states "For a purchase order that has already been transmitted to the supplier". Therefore, unless you have already output the Purchase Order to the vendor in some manner, the drop-down menu from the Purchase Order Response button will continue to be grayed out and unavailable. The program logic infers the assumption that the vendor must first receive the purchase order before the vendor contact can respond to it.

I had the same thought, but after having generated an e-mail output for the PO (I checked SOST and the e-mail was ok), the button stills remains greyed out.

Hello yuanyuan,

I havn't read the full discussion but I thought i should give my view: Could you please check the following settings in your system:

SPRO -> CTRL+f -> Control of Actions on Header Level -> execute/open -> see if your POR actions are activated. You can activate action buttons by setting the PDO Action Enabled indicator. This will activate/show the buttons you are currently missing.

Activating 'UPDATE_POR' might do the trick.

Kind regards,

Tim

Hi Alex,

Logically, supplier has to respond a Purchase Order response business document.

what purchaser wants to do with POR related data?

Hi,Muthu:

I got it for Help.SAP.COM---"You use the Purchaser role to manually create a purchase order response. As the purchaser, you decide whether POR variations need to be transferred to the PO." http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/7d/b0e8768ea143d98b8d6ba943b72e96/frameset.htm

So ,I think the purchaser could do "POR"in SRM7.0

BR!

Sorry Alex and Thanks for the information. ok. It is ECS too.

As stated,

You use the Purchaser role to manually create a purchase order response. As the purchaser, you decide whether POR variations need to be transferred to the PO.

With SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM), you can receive purchase order responses (POR) via XML, or create them manually when the supplier has transmitted the purchase order response data, for example, by fax, letter, or telephone.

Did that PO has any approval process ? after it reached supllier .(.i.e transmitted from srm to supplier). we might receive inform from supplier that supplier agreed to send the material on time.

so now you might create a POR document against that purchase order.

I believe in ECS, it is also one of the business Object, transaction type and linked with no ranage. so first create a POR then it must reflect in PO.

HI，Muthu：

The status of PO is "Orderd ". I have defined the transaction type and linked with NO. ranage.

Your PO items have to have status "accept POR" (value = "A") so that the POR button would be enabled. Run static

class: /SAPSRM/CL_PDO_DYN_MDA_HD_PO

method: CHECK_POR

in debug mode. You should be able to figure out what is missing.

After all, this note might resolve your problem as long as you are below SRM 7 SP 4:

Note 1356473 - POWL drop-down for POR de-activated

I have uploaded the note and restarted the applications .But ,I am sorry for that the problem is still not resolved.

Hello,

we had the same problem and could solve it.

Our purchase order has been changed but output of the PO has not been performed (print / fax / email). Or the order has been changed but only saved and not ordered. In this cases the button is disabled.

In general if you want analyse the reason why buttons or pull-down lists in POWL are disabled you can set breakpoints in Class /SAPSRM/CL_PDO_PO_STAT_HELPER in Method CHECK_AUTHORITY and following codings.

Hi had this problem before and I managed to solve it by defining a tolerance group for price differences during PO response:
