3607859 - When a Purchase Order or Purchase Requisition is Rejected Commitments not cleared

Symptom

  • The committed amount is not updated when a purchase order or a purchase requisition are rejected by the approver.
  • Committed Budget is not released although the document is rejected  

Environment

  • SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
 

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a PO or PR relevant for flexible workflow.
  2. Reject the PR or PO.
  3. Observe that the committed amount is not updated.

Cause

Purchase Orders 
The committed amount is not updated by default because rejected POs can be resubmitted.

Purchase Requisitions
Due to workflow restrictions editing rejected PRs is not allowed.

Resolution

A. Purchase Orders
Possible work around to clear the budget, if the Rejected document is not resubmitted.
- Mark the item as delivery complete, set the final invoice indicator and mark the item as deleted 
This will clear the budget commitment 

B. Purchase Requisitions
- Use the APP “Assign and Process Purchase Requisition” to Delete the rejected PR Items. 
This will clear the budget commitment
