Purchase order in 'awaiting approval' status but no approval required

Hi
I am using SRM 4.0 SP 13. There is a purchase order which shows that no approval is required in the approval tab, but the overall status is 'awaiting approval'. Please can you advise if this is a Support pack issue? I have checked the workflow WS14000075 which is active.
Regards
Rajeev

Hi
You would need to check if the workflow has been able to release the PO properly. Only after successful release completion by workflow, PO status gets changed to ordered from awaiting approval. Check the workflow log to see if there are any errors. Use txn-SWI1 or SWI6 to go into workflow log. Also reactive your workflow WS14000075 using txn swdd and try creating new PO.

SRM 7.0 Purchase Order Response always in status "In process" after confirm

Hello experts,
this problem is similar to the thread [SRM-SUS Purchase Order Response always "In Status"; which has been not finally responded.
My problem exists in an environment without SUS.
When a buyer confirms a PO response (POR) without any change, the system generates a new PO response with status "In process". This new POR has also to be confirmed or rejected but the system generates again a new PO response with status "In process".
So we have a very nice loop for the purchaser without escape!
We are on SRM 7.0 SP07. The other thread mentioned that SAP will create some OSS notes, but I found nothing about this problem.
Any ideas?
Regards
Joe

Hi Gurus.
I want to share my experience with this case.
We have the same scenario, Confirm PO, the result is PO confirmed, but we receive a response from ECC and this Confirmed PO changes its status to "In Process" / "En Tratamiento".
The new relevant information is that we added 2 new fields to the item PO, these fields are filled ok and sent to ECC.
In a first time these new fields were lost due to the response from ECC. To avoid this situation I implemented the BADI BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI for BUS2230, and method BBP_SUSPO_CHANGE to copy from the BBP_PDISC (Object BUS2230) rows the values to the new rows in the same table BBP_PDISC (Object BUS2201).
With this change the new documents are confirmed directly and not changed to "In Process"/ "En tratamiento".
That was my experience, now I have a question...
In the correct business process for SAP SRM SUS when you confirm full a PO...
* this will be blocked or no?
* Can be modified the confirmed items?
* This depends of customizing?

I ordered copies of my books but no approval button has appeared

I ordered copies of my books but no approval button has appeared like they usually do. What's going on ? I want to approve the books and get them on Amazon.com !!!!

Understood, thanks. The books have an ISBN and met Lulu specifications. I dont see the approve button yet. I only see the manage button. Is that what I am supposed to click on ? I ordered the books on february 14 and as of today, february 18, 2015, they're listed as having been shipped though I havent received them in the mail yet. I have published books with Lulu before and mere hours after publishing them, and ordering them, the Approve button was right there and all I had to do was click. Is there a way to contact Lulu about maybe a glitch in the system or an error on their part ? I just want to publish the books and get them on Amazon.com and other sites. Please and thank you.

Purchase order document external send status

From other posted messages that table NAST is not related to table SOST.
We send PO to vendors via Esker Fax, therefore, the external sent status can be viewed via transaction code SOST. Data of external sent is maintained in table SOST. But the document number is not linked with SOST table. Is there any other way I can get the external sent status for each external sent document?
Thanks,

The vendor e-mail address is picked up from the master data and the purchaser's e-mail would be picked up from their user account. The problem is that I don't know at what stage in the program SAPFM06P, used for sending the purchase order, I could set up the distribution list.
If I set the vendor address to name.address@somewhere; name2.address@somewhere else this works and both name and name2 receive the e-mail. But it would mean the purchasers ammending the vendor e-mail address each time, which just isn't practical.
I probably should have said that I'm using SAP version 46c and the e-mail is sent using standard SAP settings for 5-External send using program SAPFM06P and form MEDRUCK.
Thanks for the advice

Kanban with purchase order : avoid manual change status to full

Dear guru ,
i use a kanban with purchase order.
When I enter status empty (using for example PK13N) the system create purchase order.
I want to avoid that the users enter status full using PK13N or PKBC .
The users execute goods receipts against purchase order using MIGO in order that the system trigger status full automatically.
How can I avoid that users change manual status to full using PK13N or PKBC ?
Thanks.

We have this scenario and to solve that we did a development. I heard in the past that even you can configure it on SPRO it doesn't work.
I made some tests recently but I didn't get any positive result. We did tests entering the kanban id into the inbound delivery and post through vl32n and migo but it doesn't work.

SRM-SUS Purchase Order Response always "In Status"

Hi Gurus,
When a buyer confirms a PO response without any change, the system generates a new PO response with status "In process". And so, when the buyer views the new PO response, the "Confirm Response" and "Reject Response" buttons are still active and the buyer can still confirm the response. When the buyer confirms the new PO response, the system will again generate a new PO response with status "In process".
We are on SRM 7.0 SP05. We did not activate the following workflows:
WS14500001 Auto Transfer of PCO
WS14500019 Transfer PCO Data to PO
Would really appreciate any help.
Regards,
Kezia

Hi
XI Seems to be good as the XML message is getting processed in SRM and is creating a POR Document. Here are the steps for configuring POR:
1. Define NUmber Ranges
2. Activate Event Linkages and Start Conditions for WS14500001.(this is predelivered in standard system)
3. Configurations for Tolerances for qty and date...
Did you process the POR from PO?
You need to go to Process Purchase Order Response , searched for PORs and then take action on the PORs in pending statuses.....
POR functionality is pretty much straightforward feature which works smoothly.....If you are not able to sort it out using this forum, write detaisl to SAP, they can look into your system

Awaiting approval status when SC approved

Hi Guys,
We are working on SRM 4.0 in classic scenario. We have a weird situation where the shopping cart has been completely approved but the status is still in "awaiting approval". We are using teh item based approval badi.
Does anybody have an insight to why this is happening. We never had this issue in the QA box in the past. The problem suddenly shows up.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Sundeep

Not to be suspicious, but did your BC team recently upgraded your SRM Server with new service pack? If you are on SAPKIBKS09 your problem is implementation of note 842969 which is included in that service pack.
I had similar problem where shopping carts were stuck in awaiting approval when they were partially rejected.
We solve problem with implementing Note 930750 RESTART: No restart anymore with classic workflows.

Approval Status continues being APPROVED CCM 2.0

If we approve an item in the Procurement Catalog and then we change a characteristic using one of these following methods the status of the
item continues being approved:
1. we manually change some characteristic (required or not) in the Procurement Catalog
2. we change a characteristic (required or not) uploading a supplier catalog with modified characteristics and we have already map the
supplier to the master catalog and the master to the procurement catalog, so the new value of the characteristic appears modified in the procurement catalog.
3. we change a characteristic (required or not) in the Master Catalog and we have already map the supplier to the master and the master to the procurement, so the new value of the characteristic appears modified in the procurement catalog.
The Supplier Catalog has the status Manual Acceptance,
the Master Catalog has the status Approved, the Procurement Catalog To Be Approved and there are not approval rules.
THANKS IN ADVANCED!!!!

Hi all,
I hope you are using ccm v2. and csv file format
Do one time...if it is customize char. we have to recreate the supplier and master catalog schema..with customize char. First of all you have to create master catalog than supplier catalog with contents ..we have to map supplier catalog with master catalog , Lastly you have to create procurement catalog with schema(structure) file and link master catalog with procurement catalog..and publish the master catalog. This will solve your problem...

Table for Purchase Order statuses.

Hi
I want to know which table and fields indicate purchase order header and item statuses.
This is to know if GR IR for item is done and if there is partial GR and partial IR for item.
I want to know from table field directly rather than getting quantities from EKET and EKBE and then compare with EKET-MENGE.
Thanks !
Edited by: SMujumdar on Oct 21, 2010 1:58 AM

Hi,
       How about TRC:MB5S.   The report can add P/O quantity   by setting of layout.
       If you want make abap, Please check FM: BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL.
