2087981 - Cancel Open Quantity on Purchase Request.

Symptom

When attempting to cancel the remaining quantity for Purchase Request XYZ, item ZZ, the system displays the following error:
“Cancellation of Purchase Request XYZ-ZZ is not possible; the item has already been canceled.”

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Purchase Requests and Orders work center.
  2. Select the Purchase Requests view.
  3. Select the purchase request XYZ item ZZ and choose the option Cancel Open Quantity from the drop down list of Actions Button.

The following error appears:

 "Cancellation of Purchase Request XYZ-ZZ not possible; item already canceled".

Cause

Although the open quantity is shown as XX, the Cancellation Status for Purchase Request XYZ is marked as “Canceled” in the General Information section of the Purchase Requests view. Therefore, this Purchase Request cannot be converted into a follow-up Purchase Order.

Resolution

This is the expected system behavior in the current version of SAP Business ByDesign.

If needed, you can reopen the canceled quantity by selecting Purchase Request XYZ, item ZZ, and then choosing Reopen Canceled Quantity from the Actions drop-down menu.
