Preventing Deletion indicator in PR once work order is completed

Former Member

Dear colleagues,

Users create work orders in IW31 with the choice of external service; control key is PM02. Once work order is saved purchase requisition (PR) is created in background. With reference to PR, purchase order (PO) is created by purchase specialist.

When work order is technically completed (system status TECO) deletion indicator is set to PR line item(s) automatically which result in undesirable situations since PR(s) has subject to release strategy in our system.

Is it possible to prevent setting deletion indicator in PR once reference work order is technically completed?

Kind regards

Hi,

No, it is not possible to prevent this behaviour by any customizing or other settings. Once the order is technically completed the purchase requisition items are marked for deletion. Preventing this by modification or other means would introduce a data inconsistency.

Hi,

In this case that behavior has negative effects on PR Workflow process because in our system when PR(s) is created it is subject to release strategy according to preconfigured conditions.

Once the order is technically completed (TECO) deletion indicator is set to PR line item(s) automatically meanwhile release strategy tab is disappeared from PR line item(s).

In addition to that in ME54N system gives the MEPO822 (Purchase requisition XXXXXXXXX cannot be released) message even PR is approved before the order is technically completed.

Kind regards

But once the PO is created you don't need the PR any more.

TECO does not affect the PO
