1. Go to Purchase Requests and Orders

2. Select view Purchase Orders

3. Create a purchase order and navigate to Items tab

4. Enter the product id

5. Now select the field Product Specification ID. The product specification drop-down shows obsolete values as well.

This is a limitation and at the moment, all the product specification IDs irrespective of status will be displayed in the value help of the product specification field in purchase order.

As a work-around, you can put in your own query for this in the purchase order screen. If you open the advanced filter on the value help/drop-down list, there you can add the relevant status you want to see and Save, and then Select 'Use as Default Query' .

Additionally, you can post in the customer influence forum to change this behavior: https://influence.sap.com/sap/ino/#/campaign/886 .
