SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to Purchase Requests and Orders work center.
2. Select Purchase Requests view.
3. Search for respective Purchase Request.

The New Purchase Order button is greyed out and the Follow-On Process status is Blocked, with the Process type being Third-Party and Assigned to a Sales Order.

The delivery block indicator (Follow-On Process) is sent from the Sales Order to Customer Demand when the Sales Order approval status changes back to Not Started. This change in approval status occurs when the total value of the Sales Order changes due to the partial cancellation of some Sales Order items.

To remove the delivery block, please resubmit the Sales Order for approval. If approval is not required, the Sales Order approval status will change to "Approval Not Necessary" once the Sales Order is submitted.
