Purchase Order copying issue

Hi there,
I have a client who is having problems with their service purchase orders. When someone copies an approved service PO to an invoice/GRPO and they change the GL account on the line level the document loses the link to the PO. This then results in the PO being available to be copied again in the future. This could result in fraud because users can copy an order multiple times using the same approved order for many invoices.
Is there a way to stop this from being allowed in the system? If so, how?
Kind regards
Clayton.

Hi there,
The thing is they don't want any stand alone invoices or GRPO's. They all have to be copied from a PO so there is an audit trail. If someone can keep copying the same PO and just changing the account it posts to then this is going to cause major problems for them.
How can we stop this?
Regards
Clayton.

  • Purchase order status issue

    Hi Everyone
    I am having an issue with the status of Purchase order. When the Purchase order has single account assignment, everything is fine. But when I create a purchase order with multiple account assignment, the first line item is correct but when I ad second line, the still to deliver quantity gets added correctly but the amounts only reflect the recent item and not the previous one.
    For example:
    Item 10            Quantity 10           
    Item 20            Quantity 10         CC xxxx         GL account 666666
                                                       CC yyyy         GL account 666666
    Status:    Ordered        20              200
                    Still to deliver 20             100
    Please help me with this issue.
    Thanks,

  • Purchase Order: Copy of Deleted Positions not available for Goods Receipt

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    we've implemented an SRM extended classic scenario with the R/3 as the back end system.
    When I create a purchase order with, for instance, 17 positions, if I delete one of them (for instance the number 16) and I copy it I get in my order two positions with the number 16: the first one is deleted and the second one is active. This doesn't happen for the very first positions: if I delete one position and I copy it I get the new one at the end of the list.
    The problem is that when I have to create the Goods Receipt, the position copied from the deleted ones are not available!!!
    Please, is in there anyone who can help me? Thank you very much!

  • Excise duty condition type and Purchase Order Print Issue

    Dear Friends,
    We have a issue related to Purchase order print out.
    We are maintaining TAXINN.
    We have implemented CIN and we are maintaining Excise Conditions i.e. Basic Excise in JMOP
    In FV11 we are maintaining values for JMOP with plant and material Group combination.
    In Purchase Order Tax calculation is happening correctly.
    But issue is to find the value of taxes for Purchase Order Print.
    We are using function module CALCULATE_TAX_FROM_NET_AMOUNT
    and passing values of Company Code, Country, Currency, and Base amount to get the entries in condition types.
    But we are not getting any entry even after passing the values.
    How we can get these values in JMOP.
    Regards
    Kant

    Why do you want to calculate the taxes during the PO Print when you are getting correct values in PO itself?
    Modify your print program with pulling values directly from EKPO/ EKKO Tables and display it to Spool.

  • Purchase order script issue

    when i copied the medruck form and then saved the data into nace transaction and then went to me22 and when i clicked on messages and i got the output screen stating output NEU is not defiened and i clicked on f4 button and found out there is only email option in it, how i need to save it and execute my form and what is partner tab in the screen, what i need to give in it.

    using NACE tocde we can assign print program to form.
    goto NACE->select the Application type(EF-purchase order)->select output types->NEU for new PO printout->double click on process routines_> sscroll right->specfiy ur form and print proggram there(instead of MEDRUCK give ZMEDRUCK)->save
    Nace is for message control settings. Say if u want to trigger a Smartform or an Idoc or any other customized program u can do the message control settings.
    Say at the time of Sales Order creation or updation u want to trigger a Smartform, then u have to follow the following steps:
    Goto NACE
    Select application V1 and then click Output Type.
    create a new Output type or copy the existing one abd save it with new name
    then in Processing Routine Mention the driver program name and in Form routine mention the main subroutine name.
    In Smartform mention your SMartform name and also the layout if u have ceated.
    Again go to NACE and Select application V1 and press Procedures.
    here out of the many procedures u have to select the right one and attach your Output Type to it.
    You can also create a condition record..Say if u want to trigger this Smartforms for Sales Order of particular type.
    Hope this helps.

  • Purchase order locking issue

    Hi ,
    We are processing IDoc. The IDoc FM does GR of STO by using MIGO transaction via BDC , then FM also does GR of STO Delivery number by using VL02N transaction . MIGO transaction is successful but while doing GR of STO Delivery number via VL02N we are getting an error like ' Purchase order XXXXXXXXXX is currently locked by user XXXXXX .
    This happens if we process the IDoc in background . If I process the IDoc in foreground  by putting breakpoint at MIGO and VL02N , it executes successfully .
    I feel it is a locking issue . I tried using FM DEQUEUE_ALL , MM_DEQUEUE_DOCUMENT after MIGO but it did not work out .
    Please suggest for any pointers on this locking issue .
    Regards,
    Kiran.

    Forget about WAIT statement.
    Use:
    set update task local.
    ...before starting MIGO.

  • Purchase order idoc issue

    Hi,
        I am facing a issue with an inbound purchase order change IDOC (message type: PORDCH).
    I am getting the following error: FM VENDOR_MASTER_DATA_SELECT_15 ; no partner functions found for vendor VENDOR_MASTER_DATA_SELECT_15 1.
    The vendors are configured such that they dont need a partner function. The suprising part is that the same message type idoc from the same vendor got succesfully posted a few days back and a few days after the issue was found, which means the error doesnt occur every time.
    Any input is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Aparna.

    Hi Aparna,
    I want to make changes in an existing PO through an inbound idoc. I am using idoc type PORDCH01 and message type PORDCH, process code BAPI. But I am getting an error "Characteristic does not exist in operating concern".
    Can you please explain how u are using idoc type PORDCH01??
    Thanx in advance,

  • Purchase Order Copy Controls

    How to copy Purchase Requisition Header Note to the Purchase Order Header Note?
    No standard configuration available.
    Please suggest how to do the configuration.
    Thanks
    SUNIL

    Sorry, this functionality is not possible. The header note can only be entered and displayed in transaction ME51N. There is no customizing for this text and no copying rules to copy it
    to other purchasing documents. The header note is new from release 4.6c on. It was never possible to
    copy the requisition header note to a PO and it seems we won't do it in the future.
    Of course it is possible for contracts header notes and so on, but not for requisitions.
