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
- Go to Purchase Requests and Orders work center.
- Go to Purchase Orders view.
- Show All Purchase Orders.
- Select ABC (ABC represents the Purchase Order ID).
- Select Edit.
- Go to Items tab.
- 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.
- Go to Purchase Requests and Orders work center.
- Go to Purchase Orders view.
- Show All Purchase Orders.
- Search ABC (ABC represents the relevant Purchase Order ID).
- Select Edit.
- Go to Items tab.
- Select Add Row.
- Enter the required data.
- Select Send Update button.
