Reproducing the Issue

Resolution

The option to stop the Approval Process for a Purchase Order is available. Use the button 'Withdraw from Approval' to cancel the approval process for a purchase order that has status In Approval. That means, it has been sent for approval but has not yet been approved. Once the option-  'Withdrawn the approval' is clicked, the purchase order will be in status “Rejected” and the approval status in status "Cancelled".

It is then possible to send the purchase order again for approval after changes are made in the fields that are relevant for retriggering of the approval workflow. These fields are, for example: Company Code, Purchasing Organization, Purchasing Group, Currency, Incoterms, Plant, Material Group, Total Net Order Value, Outline Agreement.

For more information, see Manage Workflows for Purchase Orders.
