This post is basically to check that our system (ECC 6.0) is working correctly after a recent upgrade. We're experiencing the following issue to do with PO versions and release strategy:
1. PO created and version 0 is created. The 'version completed' flag is automatically set on version 0. This is correct and as per our config. The PO is released and printed successfully.
2. The PO value is increased and a version 1 is created. The user is required to maintain a reason code within the version, but is NOT required to check the 'version completed' flag. The amended PO can be saved.
3. Because the 'version completed' flag has not been checked the PO's release strategy is not reset - ie; the previous releases are not cancelled. This means that users are able to get around the release process. If the version completed flag is set the the releases are reset.
My question is ... is the system operating correctly? I thought with the standard product that it was mandatory to check the 'version complete' flag before being able to save an amended PO. Can anyone confirm if that is the case? If it's not the case, I'm very surprised that the std product provides such an obvious way for users to circumvent the control of the PO release process.
Thanks - Phil
This works as designed. As long as the version flag is not set, the PO can not be printed or send out. The associated messages (table NAST) are locked for output (lock flag set).
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the respose Bernhard. You 're right, we've tested further and the PO cannot be ouput until the version complete flag has been set. In this situation (ie; PO qty/value changed but the version complete flag not set) the system does allow Goods Receipts to be posted to the value of the amended PO - even though the amended PO has not been re-approved. It looks like this is standard SAP so I guess we'll work up an enhancement to make it mandatory to check the version complete at the point of saving an amended PO.
