Best way is do not give authorization for same person PO creation and GR

hi

Mostly, the business requirement are like:

1. PO creater/changer should not be allowed the final release

2.GR posting person(or group) is different from PO creation/release team and should not be allowed to change the PO

3. Same with Invoice verification team who should not be allowed for 1 & 2 above.

The best way to do this is through authorizations, pls speak to you Basis to get this done.

Moreover, using field exit is not an ideal solution in this case.

hope this hepls

From a segregation of duties point of view the best solution is not to give those creating or changing POs the ability to post goods receipts. However, if this is not possible for practical purposes then you need a development e.g. use the Exit quoted above.

Hi Vijay

You can create a user exit wherein system will check if the GR receipt is same as the PO created. If it is same system will disallow posting of GR

Hi,

There is no standard functionality for this. Either assign only PO creation roles to the user and GRN creation roles to other user.

Even you can achieve this using User exit in GRN.

Check enhancement: MB_CF001

Function module: EXIT_SAPLMBMB_001

Create one project for this and assign your own logic with the help of ABAPer.
