Is it possible to change the ordered material on a subcontracting PO?

Hello,

We use subcontracting POs for parts repair. Usually, the ordered material and the component are the same, so we ship and receive the same material. 

However, it is not uncommon for the repair vendor to inform us that they will upgrade the part. When this happens, we have to change the ordered material, so we receive the correct part into stock. The component does not change.

Following standard SAP, it is not possible to change the ordered material after the component has shipped (error message MEPO086), so we delete the original line and create a new line for the corrected material. Unfortunately, this causes inbound invoice IDocs to fail, because the reference PO line in the IDoc has been deleted.

I am a functional consultant, not a developer... Has anyone found a way around this via development, so that the ordered material can be changed without having to create a new line or change the components?
