Approved checkbox on Purchase Order greyed out

Hi Experts,
What would cause the Approved checkbox on the logistics tab of a Purchase Order to be 'greyed out'?
My customer has a few users who cannot update this field.  I have tried to replicate the issue locally on my database using various scenarios but cannot replicate the issue.
What might be causing this? 
Thanks
Greig

Hai!
Please verify this..
1.Open Admin->Sys init-> Documen settings
2. select Per Document tab.
3. select Purcahse order from the list of docs.
4. check the Purcahse Order Approved
5. The Problem for gray out is user Authorization.
6. If, the first 4 steps done there will not need for Authorization to enable the field.
7. If, u want to enable the field, give authorization to sales A/R -> Document Confirmation.
This can be done only if u r not using approval procedure for PO.If, u use then PO will save as unproved only and check box will gray out.

  • MRP Generated production orders greys out Sales Order and Customer fields

    Hi there,
    The MRP generated production orders greys out the Sales Order and Customer fields for some reasons. These fields are really important as they link the production order to the sales order and the customer's purchase order. Could the SAP team please fix this or advise alternative way of getting the sales order and customer info on production order? Thanks.

    Hello
    MRP only poulated this fields in case the material master has been set up with a strategy group hich is make to order (normally 20). Otherwise MRP summarizes all the requirements from different Customer orders and creates a production order

  • How 2 Copy Header & Line Item Text from Purchase Order 2 Out Bound Delivery

    Hi SD Gurus,
    I want to copy header and line item text from Purchase Order to Out Bound Delivery (This is required in Stock Transfer Process).
    I have been able to do successful config. for copying header and line item text from Sales Order to Outbound Delivery but config. doesn't seems to be same for copying text from PO to OBD.
    Is there any way to achieve the same? Can some expert show the way to achieve this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Ravikumar thanks for u quick reply.
    This is wht is currently coded.
    concatenate values to get item text for read text function
       invar3+0(10) = invar1. "PO number
       invar3+10(5) = invar2. "PO line number
       SELECT SINGLE * FROM stxh WHERE tdobject = 'EKPO'
                                   AND tdname   = invar3
                                   AND tdid     = 'F01'
                                   AND tdspras  = sy-langu.
       IF sy-subrc = 0.
         invar4 = invar3.
    reading the text for the document items.
         CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
           EXPORTING
             id       = 'F01'
             language = sy-langu
             name     = invar4
             object   = 'EKPO'
           TABLES
             lines    = it_itab.
    I have seen some PO's which have info rec texts in that, which gets pulled by the above code...first thing is its id is F02 which exist in STXH table also there is other text with F01 id, and hence the table it_itab gets both these text hence no pbm.
    but i came across a PO which has only one text which is info rec text with id F05 and is not store in stxh and hence doesnot get pulled by read_text fm. How do i change my cod to get this text which should not hamper other PO's as well.
    As mentioned in above msgs, this F05 could be retrieved by providing object name as EINE.
    anyhelp will be appreciated and rewarded.
    thanks

    Hi Kirti,
    Notes are seen on service.sap.com not R/3.  Please go to service.sap.com ->in SAP Support Portal click on link SAP Note search then in front of number, give the note number and  click on ">>" button.
    In R/3 you can see whether these notes are implement or not. Basis people see it in transaction SNOTE and the in note browser, you give note number and press F8. If this note is avl, it means it is already implemented.
    I still suggest to change config to standard to suspect your programs too. Notes would help to solve problem in standard objects only.

  • Standard n-step approval workflow for Purchase Order in sap 4.7?

    Hello friend,
                 In SAP 4.7 there is any standard template for  n-step approval workflow for Purchase Order.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi AM,
    there is no std template for n-step approvals but for Single Release.
    What you could do is create a custom one as per the number of approvals for PO.
    Also note a PO Release Strategy can handle only 8 levels of approval.
    Hope it helps.

  • Purchase Order Print out with Digital Signature

    Dear Gurus,
    1) we are going to implement release strategy, but still business requirement to have a digital signature, Meaning, if only upto Supervisor release, then PO print should come with Supervisor digital signature, if PR value upto Supervisor & manager release, then PO print should come with Manager digital signature, if PR value upto Supervisor, Manager, GM Reelease, then PO print should come with GM digital signature, Whoever approves last, then their signature should appear in the PO printout - How to Achieve this?
    2) If any amement in the Purchase order, then is it possible to reflect in the PO print out as Rev1 , Rev 2...?
    Please advice
    Thanks

    Another is scan the signature to bmp and attach the bmp through smartform or sapscript - But this is not digital signature.

  • IOS App Store purchase buttons greyed out

    So, we have two iphones and two iPads.  Today, I upated one of the iPads to 6.0.1 and now, in the APP STORE, all the purchase buttons are screwed up.  First, they are no longer rectangle - they are square and only showing the first few letters.  Second, they are greyed out - can't depress them.  All my other devices work fine, just this one.  I've tried shutting down all the apps in the task bar and hard resetting the machine.  I also tried logging out of my apple id and re-logging back in.  Nothing works.

    I solved it.  I forgot that installing iOS 6.0.1 screws with your settings - randomly on each device - four devices I've installed this on and four different results.  While going through settings, RESTRICTIONS were activated which presents installing apps.  Also, had to relog back into Messages and Facetime.  VERY un-Apple.

  • Video Purchased is greyed out on iPhone 3GS

    Greetings and Salutations,
      I recently purchased the Blueray Combo pack of Pirates of Caribbean "On Stranger Tides".  I installed the Digital Version to iTunes successfully and was able to select it to be transfered to my iPhone.  It transfered just fine, but when I go under Videos, the Pirates Movie is there, but Greyed out and I cannot select it.
    I have OS5 on my iPhone and Lion for an operating system so I believe everything is up to date.  The thing is that I recently put the digital edition of Rio (from the Rio Blueray Combo pack) on my son's iPhone 3GS as well and that worked without a problem.
    Any suggestions?  Is there a setting in iTunes I need to check?  I thought perhaps the resolution for Pirates might be higher than Rio, but I don't know for sure.  Thanks!

    Make sure in settings>music iTunes match is turned on. if that doesnt work, cut it off, then try... are you signed into the store? settings>store and make sure you are signed in.. if you are itll say your account name

  • Purchase order Print out

    Hi
    There is a requirement where in we are updating the price in the PO’s which are already created with the modified prices from Info records through a program.
    The problem is we are not able to get the print out of PO’s once they are updated with the latest prices from Info record even though the out put type is getting triggered.
    This problem does not exist for the newly created Purchase orders.
    The customizing setting for the message type (XIT1) is set as “4 send immediately” for the dispatch time and the storage mode is “3 Print and archive”.
    The client doesn’t want to change these settings.
    Any pointers on how we can get the print out of Purchase orders after they are updated will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks and regards,
    Ramachandra DN

    Hi Rama chandra
                    Try this options
    Txn code OMQN
    'Fine-Tuned Control: Purchase Order'. Then check for condition type eg 'NEU' an entry exists with operation - 2.
    2 - Printout of any changes made to the original document.
    If no entry exists, then create a new entry with operation indicator - 2,
    condition type 'NEU. Then save.
    2)
    Execute this program RSNAST0F in SA38 to do the printing.
    Object key                : Your Purchase Order Number
    Output type               : NEU
    Transmission medium : 1
    Output application      : EF
