2587036 - Edit workflow Settings in Purchasing Configuration

Symptom

You try to Edit the Workflow settings in one of the Purchasing Configuration Apps. The Edit function is not possible.

Environment

  • SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 

Reproducing the Issue

 App:

Manage Workflow Settings for Purchase Orders

Cause

 The workflow settings have been already activated.

Resolution

Only the Workflow Settings with status 'Draft' can be edited.

The Workflow Settings that have been activated can´t be edited anymore. Even if you deactivate them , you can only delete the complete workflow.

If you want to change the workflow settings you have to create a new workflow instead of changing current ones.

This restriction occurs because Purchase objects could have been created and linked to the workflow already activated.
