Message "Purchase Order Changes are awaiting approval"

Hi all,
while changing a PO document which is in status "in Approval", SRM (5.0) throws a popup message:
"The Purchase Order Changes are awaiting approval, Continue processing?"
Does anybody know the place were SRM throws this message?
I want to suppress the message completely.
I can`t find the message within table t100.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Incorrect message type in IDOC for Purchase order change

Hi Gurus.
Please advise on below.
We have several purchase orders that are configured to trigger IDOC upon change. But accidentally, someone has deactiveted the automatic proposal of EDI message type for these Purchase orders which resulted to not transmitting purchase order change documents automatically.
As a workaround, we have proposed to create EDI message manually during Purchase order change. But upon checking in tcode WE09, message type is ORDERS which is PO create instead if ORDCHG for purchase order change.
Please kindly advice on why it is behaving like this for purchase orders with EDI message previously deactivated.
Thanks in advance.
Acel.
To simulate.
Create PO. go to messages, select EDI message then deactivate permanently. Save PO. Release PO if needed. Change PO. go to messages, EDI is not automatically proposed. create EDI message mamanually. Save PO. Release PO id needed. check tcode WE09, for PO create, no IDOC since it was deactivated permanently. For PO change, IDOC was triggered but with incorrect message type ORDERS instead of ORDCHG.

Hi Acel,
You will need to check the settings in transaction WE20 - You will be using a Partner Profile to determine the outbound message, either for each vendor or a generic one.
on the outbound parameters, you will need to ensure that ORDCHG is set up as a message type. If not, add it, ensuring that you use the message ORDCHG, the basic type (or extension) that you are using, usually ORDERS05 and make sure that in message control, you have process code ME02 set up. This should enable the correct message type to be determined.

What Message type and Process Code to use for Purchase Order Change in 4.6C

I like to implement in SAP R/3 4.6C a scenario for Purchase Order Change, via inbound IDoc.
I have been searching, but could not find what Message Type, Idoc Basic Type and Process Code to use.
I can not imagine this functionality does not exist in 4.6C.
Any suggestions for my problem are welcome.

Hello,
In this case you should use the message PORDCH and BAPI method BAPI_PO_CHANGE but only exist as of release 4.7.
Function module    BAPI_IDOC_INPUT1
Idoc Type              PORDCH01
Message Type      PORDCH
So check carefully the following OSS notes:
[Notes 589066 - BAPI_PO_CHANGE: Incorrect account assignment to network |https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/589066] (not be fooled by the description)
[ Notes 197958 - BAPIs for purchase orders - Missing Functions|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/197958]

How can I prevent any use to update Purchase order if status was "Approval"

I have some users can update any purchasing order update after "Approval"
Please I would any Purchasing oracle module expert to Assist me to get way to solve problem.
How can I prevent any use to update Purchase order if status was "Approval"?
Further Information :
Oracle Allpication Release : 11.5.9
Oracle Purchasing Module.
Oracle Data Base: 11i
Khaled,

Try writing a personalization on the PO screen that adds the following condition to the where clause
"and authorization_status !='APPROVED'
However, I will be careful with a blanket restriction like this. There are situations when you need to modify an existing PO. So you should code some exceptions for this rule.
Hope this helps,

Deviating Purchase Order Acknowledgements lead to automatic Purchase Order Change

Hello together,
the ByDesign standard process creates a changed purchase order when a purchase order acknowledgement with deviation is created. This changed purchase order is automatically sent to the supplier. Either per mail, edi/xml, fax or print as configured in the communication with the supplier.
As discussed with SAP there is no possibility to suppress this. Do you have any ideas how to switch off this functionality?
Best regards,
Constantin

Hi Babu,
thank's for your reply. In this case it's an subsidiary scenario and the supplier is the subsidiarys' headquarter. The sending of the updated purchase orders leads to an overhead at the headquarter's side. They have an "gentleman agreement" that deviating purchase order acknowledgements are accepted by the subsidiary if they don't appeal.
Best regards,
Constantin

Purchase order changes through EDI

Hi All,
Is it possible to transmit only changes made againt each purchase order through EDI. If so how that can be done.
For example if the quanity of purchase order changed then only changed quanity field should be transmitted through EDI.
Thanks & Regards,
N. Laxman

Hi Laxman.
What do you have on WE20?
Usually you have two records. One to send the PO when you create and another one for changes;
Partner role | Message Type | Message Function
OA              | ORDERS           | 850
OA              | ORDCHG          | 850
For the message type ORDCHG in the config you have to set the message control as follow
Application | Message type | Process code | Change
EF               | NEU                 | ME11              | checked
Hope this helps.

Tcode for Purchase order Changes

Hello Expert
I Know there is one Tcode from which we could find changes happen in Purchase order at item level . Can any one let me know on the same which Tcode.
I know the regular option by selecting the line item Environment->Item changes
thanks
Abhi

Hi,
You have to develope an own ABAP report for this, based on the change tables CDHDR and CDPOS
CDHDR - Header Change
CDPOS - Item Change
EREV - Version Change
Go to SE11 / SE16 / SE16N, here enter Object value as "PO No" in Table CDHDR and get the Document No and then input this in CDPOS and get the changes details. You can also enter EKKO and EKPO tables and see the whole list.

Hi
Function module BAPI_PO_CHANGE enables you to change purchase orders. The Change method uses the technology behind transaction ME22N.

Hello Guys,
I have created new message type which should get triggered after PO document creation/change.
I have assigned this message type to PO type using MN04. I have removed all other message types assigned to this order type.
However when document is PO created is created, I am not able to see any output assigned to PO.
When I go in change mode, and try to manually trigger new output message type, system is not showing me new message type but showing all old message types as possible entries.
Have I missed any config.

BAPI for Purchase order change

Hi experts,
I just want to change PO quantity by BAPI function module: BAPI_PO_CHANGE, I fill in PO number, Item number, material number and PO quantity to parameters, but result is not well. it shows a message below and the purchase order is not changed.
message:
For the currency code ALE communication is not allowed
Message no. B1889
Diagnosis
The ISO code assigned to the current currency code is not unique and the primary flag is NOT set. This currency code can therefore not be used for external communication.
I checked currency config in SPRO and the assignment of ISO code is unique and the primary flag is setted actually.
so what else can I do to solve this problem.
thanks in advance.
jack

The B1889 message has the following reasons:
-> The primary flag of the found ISO code is assigned more than once.
-> The ISO code is not unique and the primary flag is not assigned
     for associated SAP currency codes.
-> The ISO code is not unique and the current SAP currency code has
     NOT assigned the primary flag.
First case: CC   ISOCD XPRIMARY
            CNY   CNY      X
            RMB   CNY
Your ISO code is not unique, therefore you are using the primary flag.
If a dataset wich currency code CNY is encountered, everything is ok
because none of the 3 rules mentioned above can be applied.
If a dataset contains currence code RMB, rule (3) will be applied.
Therefore, you get the following output in this case:
"For curreny code RMB ALE Communication is not allowed"
Second case: CC   ISOCD XPRIMARY
             CNY   CNY
             RMB   CNY    X
If a dataset contains currency code RMB, everything is ok because it is
flagged as primary. Like in the first case, if CNY is encountered,
rule (3) will be applied and you will get the output:
"For curreny code CNY ALE Communication is not allowed"
If you are using both CNY and RMB together, it is not possible to avoi
the B1889 message beause there will be always the case that your ISO
code is not unique AND that one currency code is not flagged as primary,
which is summed up in rule (3).
Please see information in attached note "144349 ALE: Problems with
currency conve".

Some output types are adding in messages when the changes are done

Hi Friends,
In PO, some output types(which are already there in display mode in messages) are adding in EDIT mode in messages when I change any thing in Purchase order(ME22N). Some outputs are not adding.
Example, i have created two output types (AAA and BBB) successfully in ME22n. Now i am changing some thing in PO and going to MESSAGES. Now I am seeing one extra output type AAA is added in MESSAGES with EDIT mode, But i am seeing output type BBB is in display mode and also not added extra.
Could you please tell me, what is the reason for this?
Thanks

Report for Purchase Order Changes

Hi all,
Is there any report that record changes in purchase order?
Please respond.
Best Regards,
AI.

Hi
Go to ME23N or ME22N.. Choose Environment - Header Changes or Item changes(for item changes select the item first). You can see all the changes made.
OR
Changes to a lot of SAP documents are stored in table CDHDR and table CDPOS. This include changes such as: change data in Material Master, changes to Purchase Req (PR), Purch Orders, Contracts, Sales Orders, and many more.
Put the PO number in CDHDR table OBJECTID table and get the change numbers.
Put the change numbers in CDPOS and get the details.
You can get the ABAPer to write a simple report.....
Cheers
