3253584 - DP Category greyed out in Purchase Order

Symptom

You want to edit DP Category in a Purchase order Item Level, but the option is greyed out and does not allow editing.

Environment

S/4HANA Cloud

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create Purchase Order
  2. Create DPR from the Monitor Purchase Order Down Payment app and the field still opened in the Purchase Order
  3. Clear the actual DP in Post Outgoing Payments app
  4. Journal entry is posted
  5. And in the Purchase Order History tab and Invoice tab, DP related fields will be greyed Out.

Cause

The DP category is Greyed out as soon as an EKBE entry with VGABE ‘4’ (Down Payment) is available (with DMBTR > 0).

That means as soon as a down payment has been done, the category is no longer changeable.

Resolution

As standard behavior it is not possible to change de Down Payment in the Purchase Order once it was already cleared.
