Approve Purchase Order

Hi All,
We have a requirement to create Emergency Purchase Order, which do not require Approval Process.
Is there a way to update status of PO to approved using some standard API.
Regards
Prajesh

You can consider this.
Create a new approval hierarchy. In that hierarchy, everyone has $100m limit.
When buyer creates the emergency PO, he/she selects this special hierarchy and it will get approved quickly.
Hope this helps,
Sandeep Gandhi

  • Approved Purchase orders with Approvrer Name Report

    Hi,
    Is there nay standar report in SAP whihc can give me list of approved purchase orders and people who approved those POs
    Thanks
    Manoj

    Hi Manoj,
    There is no standard report availalbe for the functionality
    you require in standard.
    The change history in the header in the PO and requisition shows
    the release dates and the users
    These changes are saved in table CDHDR.Field CDHDR-OBJECTID can be
    used to search for the purchasing document number.
    As a suggestion you could customise own report which would read the
    change hisory (CDHDR and CDPOS) and finds out the date when the last
    release code of the release strategy has been released. 
    Instead of an update of the field EKKO-FRGDT you could use
    a new database table and insert the PO number, the date of the release
    of the last release code (read in the change history) there.
    This would be a 'stable' entry (not subject to changes) and could be
    used for your report about the days between PO release.
    Kind regards,

  • Approve Purchase order - Define SAPUI5 Version

    Hi all,
    At one of our clients, we installed the approve purchase order application, but we're faced with a quirky problem.
    On the detail page, at header level, you have a tabcontainer with multiple tabs (header info, notes, attachments).
    I have a purchase order containing both notes and attachments, however, the tabs in question appear, but display "no data".
    I checked the service, and all related data is available in there. In fact, the tabs (having icons) correctly display the number of notes and attachments in the icon Badge.
    We have the same application running on multiple other systems, without any issues.
    The only difference I could find, was the version of SAPUI5 libraries.
    on the problematic system, there are 4 version (1.14, 1.16, 1.18 and 1.20)
    on the working systems, we have version 1, 1.10, 1.12 and 1.14
    Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the sap.me.tabContainer is actually deprecated as from version 1.16, and the implementation of the select-action is different from version 1.14.
    a) Can this have to do with the issue I'm facing?
    b) The mime handlers always take the latest version, is there a way to force a different version per app?

    Thanks for your input.
    unfortunately, that approach does not work in this case.
    The approval app is a standard app, so I can't change the script tags.
    On top of that: the approval app has been written in such a spaghetti entwined manner, that both local resources, as global resources, use the same base path. So if I change the bootstrap path to 1.14/resources/core... in debug mode, the local resources also attempt to follow that path, which doesn't exist, so I get a 404 on those resources.
    I thought of renaming the folders for the other versions to something like 'disabled-v1.20' just to try it out, but because it's a SAP standard folder, I can't rename it either...
    If there are any other ideas I can try, I'm happy to hear them.

  • Transaction to check who is responsible to approve purchase order.

    Hi,
    Can somebody provide a transaction where we can check who is responsible to approve purchase orders and the list of purchase orders that still needs to be approved.
    Regards,
    Vijay Bhat

    Hi
    If you have difined separate roles for approving purchase order (say PO_rel_P01 - release role for POs in purchasing group P01) and assign to users' profile, then you can check in SUIM - users- with role based authorizations - who is responsible for releasing purchase orderds in P01 p,grp. Basis person can explain you better on using SUIM. You can check users based on roles, profiles, authorization objects, transaction authorization etc using this Tcode.
    Thanks

  • Amend approved Purchase Order

    How do I amend a purchase order that is already approved. Amend quantity, payment terms, etc.,

    Hi Chaitanya,
    I had a similar problem, there is no direct solution for this is in SAP B1 and documents created through approval process cannot  be changed (atleast in the row level and other important fields that would make a difference)
    However, there is a work around
    Step 1.  Using a stored procedure the originators of PO can be restricted from posting the document or making changes to it (add or update), however they will be able to save them as drafts.
    Step 2.  Using SAP inbuilt messaging service,  the saved drafts can be sent to the respective authorizers who will check the document and add them, now the document is created.
    Step 3.  Now changes to this document can be made since it is not created through the approval procedure.
    The limitations of the above method are
    1.  Only authorizers who are not restricted by stored procedure can make changes in the document.
    2.  Since the document is not created through the approval process, it can be changed by anyone who have authorization to update the document.
    Please check if this solves your problem.
    regards,
    Murali

  • Approval purchase order with di api

    Hi Experts,
    There wanted to know which I object to use to authorize an purchase order  for DI api,
    Regards,
    Carlos
    SAP B1 2007 PL 47

    This functionality is now available in 8.82
    From the What's New 8.82 Document:
    "The DI API now supports the entire approval procedure process.
    After you add a document that meets the condition of an approval template, the approval process is triggered and the document is saved as draft. The approver then looks up and updates the approval requests via the ApprovalRequestsService object in the DI API. When the approval request is approved, you can use the SaveDraftToDocument method in the Documents, StockTransfer and Payments object to convert the draft to a document.
      To activate the feature in the DI API, use the EnableApprovalProcedureInDI property in the AdminInfo object and make sure that the DocConfirmation property of the AdminInfo object is set to Yes."

  • Error when Approving Purchase order

    Dear all,
    we are using oracle applications version 12.0.4, I am facing an issue when a Purchase order is approved , the approver is getting a notification
    " Unable to reserve funds" and purchase order is going to pre-approved status. I tried to check funds from purchase order form but Its showing me a message
    "The header currently does not have distributions eligible for this action"
    Edited by: user13295191 on 02-Nov-2011 05:12

    A quick hack would be to try this functionality from the old form (instead of the OA page) just to know the error.
    Thanks,

  • Modifying an Approved Purchase Order

    Is it possible to make modifications to a purchase order once it is approved?  If so, we would want the modified purchase order to go through the approval process again.  Is all of this possible?

    For some reason, when a PO is approved, we are unable to modify it.  Any ideas what settings we should be looking at that will open the fields in the PO so that we can modify it and resubmit it for approval?
    Thank you so much for your help.

  • Automate  Approved Purchase Requsition to  Approved Purchase Order

    Hi all,
    How can we automate the flow from the Approved Purchase Requisition to Approved PO.
    What are the basic setups(ASL, SOURCING RULES) needed?
    To brief it, by Requisition Import process we get approved PURCHASE REQUISITION.
    In a similar fashion, can we automate(not with autocreate) creation of approved PO without choosing supplier, for each item/requisition ?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Kumar

    HI ,
    Find below the set up steps for Auto creation of PO.
    1.Valid Contract agreement need to be available for the supplier site.
    WF set up :
    Create Documents workflow attribute :
    “Is Automatic Creation Allowed?” set to “Yes”
    Should Contract be used to autocreate Doc?” set to “Yes”
    "Is automatic approval allowed" set to Yes
    "Should Non catalog requests be autosourced from contract" set to YES
    "Is contract required on requistion line" set to Yes
    In req. approval WF :
    'Send PO Autocreation to Background' set to NO for launcing the WF background process to be launched immediately.
    In PO module :
    PO: Automatic Document Sourcing -- set it to NO
    create Sourcing rule and ASL ,Provide the Contract info in ASL and set the release method as "Release using Autocreate"
    Note : In case of NCR from iproc which has the item category alone,ASL is not required for auto creation of PO.
    Once all this setup is done ,import the req and it would be converted into a std. PO.Hope this suffices.

  • Purchase order approval notification as per project

    I want to send notification to approve purchase orders. I can do this by configuring purchase order release strategy. But I want to identify the approver as per project.
    Purchase order has project number in account assignment tab.
    Can I relate this in workflow so that notification will be sent to project manager as per assignment in purchase order ?

    Hello Sachin,
    Standard SAP forms pick up the delivery address that was determined in the Purchase Order line. Normally this is either the Plant address or, if maintained, the storage location address. The storage location address can be maintained in customizing under "Enterprise structure - Definition - Materials Management - Maintain Storage Location".
    The form checks the delivery addresses on the different PO lines. If these are all the same, it displays the address in the document header. If not, then it displays this per line item. If the printout does not show the PO line delivery address from the plant or storage location, the logic in the form is probably different from standard SAP logic. In this case, you should look for solving this in the Form, in combination with the standar SAP logic for determining the delivery address in the Purchase Order.

  • R12 sent purchase orders automatically to preparer once approved?

    Please can anyone advise the steps to automatically e-mail a .pdf copy of a purchase order to the preparer once the purchase order is approved.
    Currently we do not sent purchase orders to our Suppliers, we only want to send approved purchase orders to the preparers.
    Thank you in advance

    We are using workflow in the case of approvals, however we do not want the email output to appear to be coming from the last person who touches the order via workflow.  Is there a way to customize through workflow to not use the last person who touches it as the sender?

  • Does the system omit release procedure if a user creates a purchase order he is to allowed to approve?

    Dear experts,
    Can the SAP system omit triggering of a release strategy even though the conditions for starting a release strategy are being met?
    I created a release strategy where I am the user authorised to approve purchase orders in certain situations. When I create a new purchase order that meets those specific conditions, my system produces a message "Purchasing document 4500017515 cannot be released" after I try to release my purchase strategy using tcode ME29N.
    I would be thankful for your responses.
    All the best,
    Radoslaw

    Dear Jurgen,
    I have edited my release strategy so that each characteristic has a threshold value, and afterwards tried to create a purchase order (tcode ME21) where the purchasing organisation, purchasing group as well as net order value fulfilled the criteria for triggering a release strategy. I also made sure that the PO time&date is preceded by the recent changes that I have done to my release strategy. Unfortunately, my new purchase order was still not subject to the release strategy.
    I will now try to find a way to delete one of the unnecessary 'net order value' characteristics from class so that it is not included in the release strategy. I will also try to search for inconsistencies in my release strategy and purchase order in line with Bijay's advice above.
    Thank you for your comments.
    All the best,
    Radoslaw
