Purchase order change log

Hi Experts,
Am i right to say that when a new Purchase order is created, there can be no change log?
Am i right to say that not any field change in purchase order will result in change log?
best regards
Pascal

SAP will not show change log for new created POs, as you can only change what is present in the database.
Any change on defaults done during creation are not logged in the PO change logs.
Are you thinking of a certain field which might not be logged? Changes in long texts will not be logged in detail with old and new value, just general that a change to a text had happened.

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.

Sales Orders Change Log question

Hi All,
I am currently working on a project that involves querying SAP Database to get custom reports via web browser, I've made a lot of advances and most of the site is ready but I'm missing just one item that I hope you could help me.
Thing is I am working with the Sales Order change log and the problem comes one a user deletes a row. If I go to the change log inside SAP and see the differences a new record will be shown saying that row X was deleted and
if I go to the database (ADOC and ADO1 tables) I don't have a way to see wich row was deleted.
My way of doing this is to check for the number of rows on the current state of the sales order and check the same on the previous instance of the SO and see if a line was deleted. Then I would have to check row by row between instances what rows are there and what row is missing and store that info. I think this kind of approach will definitively kill the server.
I was wondering if some one can give me a hint about how to approach this problem. Does any body know how SAP works on this area?
I'm working with SAP2005A and SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Alejandro.-

Hola Alejandro,
Thanks for your answer, as I see it I'm doing exactly what you proposed but the problem comes with the following scenarios:
a.- If I post a new SO with two lines I will have on the ADO1 table two records with the values 0 and 1 for each line respectively but if I delete the item on LineNum = 1 and then I add a new item, this last item will be also created with LineNum value = 1. This is not a complicated thing to do but the problem comes when the user is used to work with SOs with several items at detail level and is used to add and erase lines once in a while and as I see it it's very difficult for me to track those specific changes. There's also the fact that on the Log table a new instance is created every time the user hits the update button regardless if a modification was actually made or not. I mean I would know that a line was deleted or added but I would have to start comparing each field on each line of a sales order with it's previous instance to check what was actually added/deleted and I'm afraid that this may affect the server performance. I know that SAP does this without affecting to much the system resources and that is what I'm trying to find.
I forgot the other scenario I was considering he he I will post again as soon as I remember it but I hope I'm explaining this ok (I'm not very good at explaining...) If not let me know and I'll try to explain again.
I'm also working on trying to get another approach to see what comes up...
Thanks for checking this thread, your answers are helpful.

Billing Block removal not updated in the sales order change log

Hi Gurus,
A specific Billing Block is automatically assigned to the sales document header (VBAK-FAKSK) when the net value of the sales order is negative. This is an order related billing.
Sometimes the Billing block is getting released automatically and the Negative Invoice is getting created in the Background job run for creating the invoices. When we check the sales order, the Billing block is not existing and the removal of the billing block is not recorded in the Change Log of the sales order.In the CDHDR table also there are no details about the release of the billing block.
This is happening only occassionally. When I tried to replicate the issue, the system is not allowing me to create the invoice as long as the billing block is there in the sales order and if I remove the block, it is recorded in the sales order change log.
My doubt is.,
1. How the billing block is getting released automatically?
2. Even if the block is released, why it is not recorded in the Change Log of the sales order?
Looking forward your for suggestions and solutions.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi
Did u check in sales doc. details screen.There u can block for billing.

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.

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.
Regards,
Rob

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]

Hi Experts,
Is there any function module for purchase order change or i need to do new recording in me22n.
Thanks,

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

Credit status change through Sales order - change log

Hi Friends,
I'm currently facing a scenario were it was reported by the client that
credit release is happening automatically.
Brief details :
   Order was created on 4th Of Oct and it was blocked (reaches the VKM1 bucket )
   since the customer reaches the credit limit.The same order on 5th Oct was not in VKM1
   bucket were the status of order in Sales document header states that it's released.
Initial check : (Sales order change log)
1, I've checked the change log on 5th Oct were the field VBUK - CMGST "Overall status of credit checks changed" from B to A.
   (( Status and details below
      A - Credit check was executed and document is OK.
      B - Credit check was exectued and Document is not OK (credit block).
      C - Credit check was executed document not OK, Partial release.
      D- Document released by Sales representative. ))
2, I tried to replicate the order status for block and release, But when I release through VKM1 / VKM3
     the change logs are getting updated with Status - D .(ie from B to D) .
I'm wondering that what could be the reason that causes the system to update in the table - VBUK - CMGST from A to B
or because of what change from the client in the sales document header level could impact this changes.
Note - There is no payment which received from customer on that day.
Please let me know in case if you are getting the clue...
Thanks in Advance..

Hi
A simple credit check, as the name suggests, is very simple in nature. The functionality is limited and considers only open A/R items and open items from special G/L and sales orders for performing the credit checks. When you create/change a sales order that is relevant for a simple credit check, SAP calculates the payer/customeru2019s credit exposure by adding the open A/R balance for the customer, open item balances from the special G/L, and the net sales order value. This credit exposure is then compared against the customer credit limit maintained in the customeru2019s credit master. If the credit exposure is greater than the credit limit, the system sets the credit check status as u201Cfailu201D and shows a warning, generates an error message, or performs a delivery block

--If that's the case , change it into display saved user -defined values .

Make Purchase Order Change Buyer name

Hello Experts - small question, how do I change in an Purchase order the buyer name for standard.
I mean, I always make the PO's so I want my name standard in the buyer box, how can I do this?
Thank you!

HI Bob
You need to go Administration->Setup->General->User Defaults.
You have to select the appropriate user and under default tab,you have to set the sales employee as your name.
So Buyer name will appear by default in PO when logging with that particular user...
Revert me for any clarifications...

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
JOJI
