Changing Purchase Order Response during Approval

[Former Member]

Hi folks,

When are using SRM 5.0 Extended Classic Scenario.

A PO is created and sent to SUS. A POR is sent from SUS. The POR is outside tolerances and thus needs to be approved. It is possible to approve/reject the POR, however it is not possible to change the POR.

We need to provide the functionality to change the POR during the Approval Process.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hello,

It is unclear whether you are working on the MM-SUS or the SRM-SUS Scenario.

We have implemented this requirement.

It works like this

You have Z tables created where you have the Tolerances (% and Abs,+ve and -ve) stored here.

The POR with a variance that flows into the SRM gets checked thro this Z table ( WF for the POR activated) and the if the variance is outside the Tolerance it will reach the Buyer for his approval.On approval it copies the contents of the POR into the PO and this changed PO trigegrs another output into the SUS.

Similarly for an MM-SUS scenario this should be possible as the Conf Control key plays a vital role in failing the Idocs of the POR whose variance is outside the Tolerance.

If you activate a mailing facility to the Buyer for these failed Idocs with in ERP then the buyer can evaluate the POR and the PO and decide on further course of action.

The only limitation in this case will be that the POR contents cannot be copied into the PO but the buyer as to manually copy.
