Deleting a STO PO

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am trying to delete the STO PO For which the Goods issue has been done and accounting Doc has been cleared. when we check the Document flow it is showing me as below.

Purchase order xxxxxxxxxx 31.10.11

Replen.Cross-company xxxxxxxxxxxx 14.09.10 Being processed

Picking request xxxxxxxxxx 14.09.10 Completed

CE Incompany Invoice xxxxxxxxxx 17.09.10 Completed

Accounting document xxxxxxxxxxxx 17.09.10 Cleared

TF to cross company xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 20.09.10 complete

When i am checking the status of PO it is showing as 'Not yet delivered'. I am able to see the stock in Transit(MB5T).

Note: The period has already been closed for this PO

Can I go a head reversing the Accounting and cancel the billing document and reverse the Post goods issue and can I cancel the PO?

(or)

Can i directly mark "Final Invoice Indicator and Delivery Completed Indicator to close the PO?

If u require any more Info please let me know.

Please suggest the further steps to be made if there are.

Thanks In advance,

Hi.......

As per your info. you mean to say for same material 2 P.O generated one had good receipt and invoice too.

and other one you want to delete

then first check status of material in P.O in P.O history tab

if migo or MIRO may done then reverse both of them. then cancel the good issue by vl09

then cancel all the document and then short close or delete the P.O by mass maintenance.

why dont you want to receive the material?

No, Because I have created another PO and everything has been done in it. Thats the only reason I want to close this PO.

Thanks a lot for the response.

This cannot be, your goods issue was done in refrence to the PO you want delete.

if everything was done to another PO, then this would include the goods issue as well.

if you want delete this PO, then you should check the PO history what has already happened to this PO.

e,g, was the invoice posted.

if yes you have to cancel the invoice receipt first, then you cancel the invoice on the shipping side, after you have cancelled the invoice, you can do a VL09 to cancel the goods issue, then you can delete the delivery, finally you can set a deletion flag to your PO.

Hi Guys,

I Block all the Line items and and ran a report in ME2L. It didnt appear as open PO(Still to delivered-0.0).

Therefore this option can be very well used for the STO PO's if you want to close the PO's.

Thanks a lot for your great help.

a block is not considered as closed, even the PO is still relevant for materials planning (compare MD04). blocked POs cannot be archived, as only closed POs can be archived. Blocking is meant as sjort term solution to block any further activity like goods receipt and invoice receipt. Often set if the price is not finally negotiated.
