Archived PO can be revoke or not

[former_member219179]

Hello SAP GURUu2019s,

I have an issue where the PO is archived and now user is telling that vendor has sent the invoice hence for payment to be processed, the PO needs a GRN and an IR to be done. Is it possible to revoke the archive PO or not. If yes please let me know how it can be done if not then please let me know why it is not possible.

PO created and no GR IR posting done so far.

Awaiting positive reply.

Cheers,

Kumar.S

Hi,

We can view the archived PO , but not sure if it can be revoked.

Better you can create a fresh PO and do GR, IR against the new PO number.

Hi Gopi,

Thnks for your quick reply.

Please confirm me whether in standard sAP behaviour archiving po cannot be revoked.

I wonder how you ever could archive an incomplete PO.

SAP standard does not allow this, there are many many checks that are performed before a PO gets archived.

IF you had done archiving, then you would know about theses checks, except you dont mind that thousands of POs could not get archived . Archiving exposes the mistakes done in design and execution.

Archived purchase order documents (deleted from the SAP tables) cannot be reloaded to the SAP tables.

Because.....SAP has not designed this step and not developed programs for this.

And it could cause inconsistencies, as a user could use such functionality at any time. so a user could reload an archived PO from last century (which was created with DEM instead of EUR, which had document number that is already re-used .....)

Docu says: There is no provision for the retrieval of previously archived data
