Former Member

Dear Expert,

I would like to know your advice.

I have one clinet requiremnet , they want to do some mass changes in a PO's - they want to change the vendor code in a purchase orders.

these purchase order just created and not any inventory or financial posting has been done.

Some PO's are released completely and some are not released completely.

They want to change the vendor , the new vendor which they want to incoroporate is having different payment terms and also the partner function may vary.

The new vendor is from same location and country.

I tried in MASS but it is giving some error messages like PO is still faulty and not allowing to make a changes.

My Question is :

1.If we want to do the chages then is it possible?

2.If yes then what are the min things needs to be consider while doing the changes ( which data or fields of vendor master from old to new vendor)

3.is there any other way to do changes other then MASS.

4.Is it a advisable to change a vendor ( if possible) or shall i write to the client that cancel the all existing PO and create new PO with ref to old PO for new vendor.

Kindly advise on above.

Thanks

Hi,

Option number 4 is the best way for the above case.

It's not possible in SAP to change vendor in PO once it has released.

Hi ,

Thanks for your response.

I would like to add on my existing things,

The PO's those are partial release , I can cancel those partial release and can able to bring to the original status( w/o any released)

Is it possible if the PO is not at all released then we can make a changes.

Appreciates your earnest response.

Thanks

Hi,

Even if you unreleased those partial PO released to be come the original status, you cannot change the vendor as well.

Hi,

PO is a legal purchasing document which we r creating to inform the particular vendor about our rqmt, So once you saved the PO document SAP will not allow us to change the Vendor. Always its better to delete the created PO & create one more new PO with desired vendor.
