Answer 1

Please refer the below note: Back To Back Process Always Create Approved Purchasing Requisitions (Doc ID 467508.1)
Goal
===
How does one use the Back to Back Process and have the new requisition be created in status
INCOMPLETE so that additional lines may be added to the requisition?
### Steps to Reproduce Problem ###
1. Select OM responsibility
2. Create Sales Order in OM
3. Book the Sales Order
4. Run the process "AutoCreate Purchase Requisitions"
See the field AUTHORIZATION_STATUS in the table PO_REQISITIONS_INTERFACE_ALL
always is populated with the value "APPROVED",
5. Select Purchasing Responsibility
6. Run the process "Requisition Import" with parameter "Initiate Approval after ReqImport" = No
8. Query requisitions, at this point the requisitions are in status APPROVED.
Want requisitions in status INCOMPLETE.
Solution
=====
Per standard functionality, the Back to Back Process cannot create new requisition in status
INCOMPLETE. We create the entry in PO_REQUSITIONS_INTERFACE with AUTHORIZATION_STATUS as approved only.
As per the present code and functionality, we create the requisition with approved status only.
Therefore, additional lines may not be added to the requisition.
AutoCreate Purchase requisition concurrent program or progress order from the sales
order pad, shall create a requisition for a booked ATO buy item line if there is open
quantity on the line. This is designed functionality. (By open quantity we mean the
order qty that is not reserved to a supply).
If you want to prevent autocreate purchase requisition from processing the line as you
are already having an existing PO for it you can achieve it in two ways -
1. Put the line on create supply hold immediately after creating the sales order.
Autocreate Purchase requisition will not pick such a line. Thereafter, you can
manually reserve the existing PO to the order line and remove the hold. Once
the entire quantity on the line is reserved to a supply, it is no longer eligible to
be processed by autocreate purchase requisition and will not create another PO.
2. CTO provides a custom hook CTO_CUSTOM_SUPPLY_CHECK_PK. You can
add logic here to prevent CTO from trying to create supply. Please refer to CTO
Process Guide - Setup - Custom Check Supply Creation API.
