3336892 - PO can be created from PR (based on SO) despite Sales Order status should not allow PO creation - SAP ERP & S/4HANA

You notice the following issue during Purchase Order (PO) conversion from Purchase Requisition (PR).

PRs are generated from Sales Orders (SO) and you use header level Status Profile with different statuses to allow or prevent different follow-up process steps.

In a specific status you set the PR generation allowed and the PO creation not permitted.

Despite this setup (status) the PO can be generated from the PR in transaction ME58, ME59N and also in the relevant Fiori tile.
