Purchase Order next approver.

Hi All,
I am looking at the way to find the with whom the purchase order is pending. Could anyone give the tables/query which would show with whom the PO is pending.

Look at po_action_history
select employee_id
,object_id
,action_code
,object_type_code
,object_sub_type_code
from po_action_history
where object_id in (select po_header_id
from po_headers_all pha
where segment1 in ('&segment1_in'))
order by sequence_num desc
Hope this answers your question

  • Purchase Order has approved but Status show as Unapproved

    Dear All Experts,
    I have a Purchase Order need to go throught approval procedure. The Purchase Order has approved by user and add into system and printed out. When second time, open the same Purchase Order, the status show "Unapproved" but the Purchase Order windows header name show Purchase Order [Approved], this make user unable to copy to GRPO. I have try to restore stored procedures in SAP B1, it does not make any changes. The user is using SAP B1 2007A SP0 PL49. Please Advise.

    Hi Angie
    the purchase order once approved has to be added on to the system after approval if u say that u have added the purchase order after it got approved then that seems to be a concern for that u need to contact ur sap partner or if u are a partner then u need to get in touch with sap to resolve the isssue as it could be because of problem with ur database
    but before that please be sure off that u are using the correct way and have sucessfully added the documnt apon approval.

    this is the first time we will do the created purchase order to be send automatic through email to approvers
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Same question you are asking again & again!
    Re: Send PO to vendor through e-mail
    OK.
    In Standard PO to send by E-mail to vendor is possible only after PO final release,if you set Dispatch time as 4 {Send immediately (when saving the application)} in NACE t.code in application EF & in condition record t.code:MN04 for PO message type.
    Purchase order to be email to different approve for approving , then go for Workflow.

  • Workflow: purchase order created approve defferent users

    hi friends,
    i am creaed purchase order throw workflow. under that based on release stategy released and cancelld working fine. but our client requirement is  two defferent release codes is  customising one release code <=1000 is approved (current user), and another release code  is =>1000 is approved (another user). so please give me a valuable suggestions.
    advance thanks you.
    Regards,
    Bikshu.

    Hi,
    Based on the release strategy for PO, you can set the agents in config. SPRO - Materials Management - Purchasing - Purchase Order - Release Procedure for Purchase Order - Define Release Procedures for PO's - Workflow.
    Here, based on the release group and release code, you can set the approval agents. This method can be used if your approval agents are fixed and known. If it has to be calculated at runtime, then you have to use other methods and rules.
    Ensure that you have made an entry of 1 in the Workflow column for the appropriate release group and release code under SPRO - Materials Management - Purchasing - Purchase Order - Release Procedure for Purchase Order - Define Release Procedures for PO's - Release code.
    In you step in the workflow, leave the agents as blank when you adopt this method.
    Cheers,
    Satish

  • Standard Purchased Order Re-approval (R12.1.3) - Reg

    Hi Friends,
    I couldnt able to generate a re-approval notification for the Standard Purchase Order.
    My higher approvers dont want to re-approve the approved purchased order again with in the tolerance days, if the days exceeds the tolerance days then needed re-approval.
    Flow as follows:
    1. Needed by date set to 150 days in Tolerance and Routing.
    2. Created a standard PO  with a current date as 28-10-2013 and got approved with the higer approvers.
    2. Now i have changed the needed by date to 25-03-2013 (148 days- with in tolerance days), got re approved at the user itselft with a revision.
    3. Now i have changed the needed by date to 31-03-2013(above 150 days) now  a re-approval notification should go to the hierarchy approvers.
        But in my case the re-approval notification is not generating.
    Kindly look into this issue and suggest me as the earliest.
    Thanks

  • POR (Purchase Order Response): Approve/Reject buttons not functioning

    Hi folks,
    In SRM 5.0 extended classic scenario, a POR is sent to EBP from SUS.  The POR is outside tolerances so it triggers workflow -WS14500019.  When a user goes into their Approval Inbox they have the option to Approve or Reject the POR using the Approve/Reject icons.
    When a user clicks on either the Approve or Reject icon, a message appears at the bottom of the screen:
    "Work Item is been Processed, Please Wait"
    When this message disappears the work item is not processed and remains in the Approver's inbox unprocessed.
    If anybody has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Pat

    Hello Nagarajan,
    Thanks for the response. I have realised that the Approve/Reject buttons should not be used with PORs.  I am still a little unsure as to how it is supposed to work though. Take the scenario below:
    A buyer orders a quantity of 10
    The vendor responds with a quantity of 7 which is outside the tolerances and goes to approval
    If the buyer does not accept the response but wants to request 10 again what should they do?
    1) If they copy the POR to their PO a changed PO is sent to the Vendor with a quantity of 7.
    2) If they copy the PO to the POR but untick the header and item levels in the POR, the SUS PO remains in a status of Confirmed so the vendor will ship the goods. 
    Which options above is most suitable when the Buyer wants to request the 10 again? Option 2 and then to manually change the PO to a quantity of 10?
    Regards
    Pat

  • Unable to approve standard Purchase order

    Hi ,
    We are into 11.5.10.2 , We are getting following error when trying to approve the purchase order by approver . PO Status is in "Pre approved"
    unable To Approve Standard Purchase Order 975761
    Line # 17 At least one or more item attributes failed validation.
    Action: Verify values for the following attributes: purchasing_enabled_flag, stock_enabled_flag, outside_operation_flag and bom_item_type.
    Please, fix the problem and try approving again from this notification or send the document back to the preparer.
    PO is going to top Hierarchy inspite of having enough aprroval limits .
    Item attributes was set to Inactive in Master Level and was active in Organization items . Changed to Active in Master Item and still getting the issue .
    PO is getting forwarded to next approver and finally it is in "pre approved status " with above error
    Thanks in Advance
    Kiran

    Hi Kartik,
    1) In Item Master , status is set to OBSOLETE and purchasable check box is unchecked . Item master organization was set in purchasing options .
    2) Organization item , status is Active . stockable and Purchasable check boxes are checked and outside processing item unchecked . This is receiving org in Purchasing .
    I think Purchasing is considering Master org status as it is validation org for purchasing .
    Thanks

  • How to cancel approved (draft) purchase order prior to adding it

    Please help with this scenario..... We have a purchase order approval in place for service purchase orders. User entered one line of PO correct and then on second line, entered something in description but did not enter GL account code.
    Purchase order followed approval stage and is now approved, however since PO line does not have GL account we receive error regarding missing GL account.
    Problem is now that PO is approved we cannot update it and we also cannot cancel the purchase order draft since it is approved.
    What do we do??

    Hi Keith,
    I'm afraid it is not possible to delete a document which has been going through the approval process.
    What you can do is to add the PO and then cancel it.

  • R12 sent purchase orders automatically to preparer once approved?

    Please can anyone advise the steps to automatically e-mail a .pdf copy of a purchase order to the preparer once the purchase order is approved.

    Thank you in advance

    We are using workflow in the case of approvals, however we do not want the email output to appear to be coming from the last person who touches the order via workflow.  Is there a way to customize through workflow to not use the last person who touches it as the sender?

  • Error when Approving Purchase order

    Dear all,
    we are using oracle applications version 12.0.4, I am facing an issue when a Purchase order is approved , the approver is getting a notification
    " Unable to reserve funds" and purchase order is going to pre-approved status. I tried to check funds from purchase order form but Its showing me a message
    "The header currently does not have distributions eligible for this action"
    Edited by: user13295191 on 02-Nov-2011 05:12

    A quick hack would be to try this functionality from the old form (instead of the OA page) just to know the error.
    Thanks,

  • Tax Code removed on changing the posting Date in Purchase Order

    Dear All,
    This is with reference to the Purchase Order Document tax part, the document has been defined with the approval procedure and document series followed as annual series. The document series is linked to the period indicator as I am using the monthly series for the A/R & A/P Invoice.
    Now some Purchase Order was generated in the last month i.e. 30 NOV 07 which has gone for approval. These document are approved in the current month (Dec 07) & user are trying to add the records it displays the message as "Date deviates from permissible range [Purchase Order - Posting Date]  [Message 173-11]" as the period indicator is changed to Dec 07 in document numbering.
    The problem is when user changes the document date to Dec 07 for posting; system removes the tax codes, which is available in the document. Now as this is approved document user is not able to change or renter the tax codes.
    In this situation what can be done as the same case will again happen for the next month.
    Pls. provide the solution / work around for this problem.
    Regards,
    Yogesh Jadav

    hi yogesh,
    Cancel/Close the created purchase order.
    First you should change docduedate in posting period upto december 2007/end of fiscal year,by following the below path.
    (Administration->sytem intialization-> general settings--> posting period tab)
    Create a new purchase order.
    Send it for approval,authorizer can change date as required,
    once the posting date changes,tax code get refreshed,authorizer
    need to select tax code once again.
    <b>Tax code normally get refreshed when you change posting date it's normal
    system behaviour.</b>
    After authorizer does above changes,he can approve purchase order.
    Once purchase order is approved,orginator can add it as purchase order in draft stauts.
    <b>After approval we can not do any changes in purchase order.</b>
    Hope my solution will solve the problem.
    Thanks,
    With regards,

  • Confirmation Control Work Flow  in Purchase Order

    Hi Gurus,
       Can anyone explain me about the Confirmation Control Tab Work Flow in Purchase Order.
       If i select the Conf. Control in Purchase Order, next what process has to follow?
       Thanks in Advance
    Regards,
    Prabhakaran M

    Hi Prabhakaran
    The Confirmation Control tab has a field for selecting the COnfirmaiton control Key for the PO Item. This key Determines which confirmation categories are expected for a PO item (e.g. order acknowledgment, shipping notification).
    There are four categories delivered in the standard system, which decides whether you need only a ASN for a PO Item, or ASN with a rough GR, or Rough GR only etc.
    Once you have this key set up, system expects you to create that document for this item before you process the GR or Invoice.
    You can also set up automatic ASN creation if you have EDI Integration with the vendor.
    Benefit of ASN is that you ve the confirmed delivery dates and quantities well in advance and warehouse/Inventory team can plan their operations accordingly in advance...
    I hope this clarifies your questions
    Regards
