2538753 - Unable to Change the Product ID in a Sent Purchase Order

Symptom

The Product ID field for an item cannot be modified once the Purchase Order has been sent.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Purchase Requests and Orders work center.
  2. Go to Purchase Orders view.
  3. Show All Purchase Orders.
  4. Select ABC (ABC represents the Purchase Order ID).
  5. Select Edit.
  6. Go to Items tab.
  7. Select the relevant Item.

The value in the Product ID field cannot be modified or deleted.

Cause

  • Once a Purchase Order has been sent, the Product ID, Item Type, and Process Type fields can no longer be modified or deleted. Additionally, existing line items cannot be removed.
  • These fields can only be edited in Purchase Orders with the status In Preparation, provided that the Purchase Order was not created through a Third-Party scenario or an MRP run.

Resolution

This is the expected system behavior.

A new line item can be created for the desired Product ID, and the Send Update button can then be selected.
  1. Go to Purchase Requests and Orders work center.
  2. Go to Purchase Orders view.
  3. Show All Purchase Orders.
  4. Search ABC (ABC represents the relevant Purchase Order ID).
  5. Select Edit.
  6. Go to Items tab.
  7. Select Add Row.
  8. Enter the required data.
  9. Select Send Update button.
