Hi,
You (and the purchasing dep) must be more specific.
What is the needed status - header / line / shipments / distributions ?
There are lots of "Staus" fields...
Best way for you is to let them show you the status they want as it apears in the oracle applications, then you can investigate the form to get the source.
Could also be that the "PO Status" is a setup done on your company, so the correct way is to start from the scren and go back to the DB.
Once you will find the source you can then add the needed field to the BA and to the relevant forder.
Another way is to have a function return for you the status you need, once you have this function you can add it to any folder using calculated item in the BA folder.
there are some seeded functions that return a po status but since your description was a bit fade, i am not sure this is what you actually need.
You can run the below in your DB and check if you got lucky enough to get "for free" what you were asked for :
SELECT * from dba_arguments a
WHERE a.object_name LIKE 'GET_PO_STATUS%';
