Approval on Purchase Order

Hi all,
        My client requires that in case if the items selected in the Purcahse Order dont have any price, the po should not get added in the system.i have created an approval where if the unit price of any item is '0' , then the document should go for approval. now the problem arises when the document comes back from approval, i am unable to amend the price in the purchase order. can anyone suggest me any other better way so that if the unit price is '0' in the system, the purchase order should not get added in the system??
Thanks in advance,
Joseph

hi,
Why are u going for approval ?
Instead enter unit price in item master adjacent to field price list 1.
It will populate item with price in po row level.

  • URGENT:Approval of purchase order

    At present approval of purchase order is done based on order value.. but how to approve PO based on ITEM CATEGORY?

    Go in Purchasing Super User responsibility and follow the path Setup: Approvals: Approval Groups. In the Approval Groups form you choose "Item Category Range" as value, put an amount limit and indicate low and high values for purchasing category. You put all this in either an existing or a new approval group and then assign this group to some HR position in Approval Assignments.
    Hope this helps

  • Unable to approve standard Purchase order

    Hi ,
    We are into 11.5.10.2 , We are getting following error when trying to approve the purchase order by approver . PO Status is in "Pre approved"
    unable To Approve Standard Purchase Order 975761
    Line # 17 At least one or more item attributes failed validation.
    Action: Verify values for the following attributes: purchasing_enabled_flag, stock_enabled_flag, outside_operation_flag and bom_item_type.
    Please, fix the problem and try approving again from this notification or send the document back to the preparer.
    PO is going to top Hierarchy inspite of having enough aprroval limits .
    Item attributes was set to Inactive in Master Level and was active in Organization items . Changed to Active in Master Item and still getting the issue .
    PO is getting forwarded to next approver and finally it is in "pre approved status " with above error
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi Kartik,
    1) In Item Master , status is set to OBSOLETE and purchasable check box is unchecked . Item master organization was set in purchasing options .
    2) Organization item , status is Active . stockable and Purchasable check boxes are checked and outside processing item unchecked . This is receiving org in Purchasing .
    I think Purchasing is considering Master org status as it is validation org for purchasing .
    Thanks

  • How to cancel approved (draft) purchase order prior to adding it

    Please help with this scenario..... We have a purchase order approval in place for service purchase orders. User entered one line of PO correct and then on second line, entered something in description but did not enter GL account code.
    Purchase order followed approval stage and is now approved, however since PO line does not have GL account we receive error regarding missing GL account.
    Problem is now that PO is approved we cannot update it and we also cannot cancel the purchase order draft since it is approved.
    What do we do??

    Hi Keith,
    I'm afraid it is not possible to delete a document which has been going through the approval process.
    What you can do is to add the PO and then cancel it.

  • Step User Decision and Approval of Purchase Order

    Hello All,
    I have created a workflow with step user decision and also attached the object BUS2012 to display from SAP Inbox. But is there a way i can attached the object that would show the approval screen when the work item is executed, and also send a mail for the user decision.
    Urgent help needed.

    Hi,
    You could use a secondary method in your user decision step which executes an object method and for example displays the PO so users can make the correct choice in the user decision.
    Regarding sending an email you could have a sendmail step after the user decision step but wthis will not be executed until the user decision is complete. Why do you want to send an email?

  • Purchase Order Approval

    Is there a way to find out who (what particular individual) has approved a Purchase Order?  I know there are different release strategies, but I want to know what individual approved the Purchase Order.  Thank you for any help in this matter.

    Hi,
    Purchase Order is a legal document, once it has been sent to vendor, the vendor can supply the goods and services as per the agreed terms and conditions.
    The purchase order release strategy can be used for approvals of the PO,
    The usage of the approvals are.......
    For ex: A purchaser created a PO, but he doesnt know as per the payment terms in the PO, we can arrange the amount or not for the due date the purchaser doesn't know.
    Where as if we provide the approval to finance manager, he will be aware of funds available for a specific dept, specific period etc... and the Finance Manager can analyze that how the funds are utilizing..........
    where as in the configuration you can give the approval procedure to different department heads, who can monitor the activities, for triggering different departments we can use different PO document types.
    I hope this can help you....
    Best Regards,
    Vasu.

  • Purchase Order Release Strategy Approval

    HI All,
    I have an issue with the Purchase Order Release Strategy, I need to set the Release strategy at 2 levels.
    Level one will have 1 approver
    Level two must have two approvers.
    The scene is:
    Level one will approve all purchase orders betwee 400 to 5000 euros.  1 approver only
    Level two will approve all purchase orders above 5000 euros.  2 approvers.
    The problem is that the level two approvers must have the same Purchasing Group, Release strategy and Code, that is.
    Pur. group G70, Release Group GC and release strategy DF.
    I have completed the customising and the Release simulation is working correctly but when the PO is created the is no release strategy proposed.
    CL20N is completed for both levels and works correctly for level one approval but not for level two
    Can any please help
    Leslie

    Hi,
    May be in your case the values are not properly designed in release strategy for PO Value (ZPO_GNETW) release characteristic.Now go for creation of following release characteristics
    1. PO Order Type (ZPO_BSART),
    2. Company Code (ZPO_ BUKRS),
    3. Purchasing Organization (ZPO_EKORG),
    4.Plant (ZPO_WERKS)
    5. Purchasing Group (ZPO_ EKGRP) and
    6. Total net PO Value (ZPO_GNETW)
    Create one release class ZPO_CLASS & then add all above release characteristics
    And then design your release strategies as required.
    AND under release characteristic for PO Value (ZPO_GNETW) keep following values
    A. <= 400 EUR
    B. 400.01- 5000 EUR
    C. >5000 EUR
    As you already created Release Group GC & release strategy DF (1st level), now create another release strategy DS (2nd level).
    NOTE: As you needed one releaser at 1st level and then two releasers in 2nd level. So create three release codes C1 for 1st level and C2 & C3 for 2nd level.
    In designing release strategies for PO , you can keep value 400.01- 5000 EUR with release codes C1 under DF release strategy and Keep value >5000 EUR with release codes C2 & C3 under DS release strategy.

  • Purchase order created on approval of Shopping cart

    Hi All,
    We are using SRM 5.0 Support pack SAPKIBKT17.
    When a shopping cart is approved, a purchase order is automatically created. And this purchase order is attached to an E-Mail and sent to the Vendor.
    My query is that where is this E-Mail triggered? Is there a standard workflow task or any method is called?
    Thanks,
    Kiruthiga

    Thank you Jason.
    I put break points in all relevant sub routines in the function group you mentioned. And we approved the shopping cart. Logically, this should trigger a creation of PO. In our system there is no need for an approval for a PO. So the PO must automatically be sent to the vendor. In real, it did not stop at any breakpoint and the workflow WS10400051 (FinalProcNew) is triggered.
    I can not understand at which point the E-Mail is triggered. Is my assumption that the E-Mail to vendor with PO as an attachment is triggered in this workflow (WS10400051)?
    Please help me understand.
    Regards,
    Kiruthiga

    Thanks in advance.
