3642926 - Post Goods Receipt Button Enabled for Completed Purchase Orders

Symptom

"Post Goods Receipt" button is enabled even after the Purchase Order is finished.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Inbound Logistics work center.
  2. Go to Purchase Order view.
  3. Search for Purchase Order ID XYZ (XYZ means Purchase Order ID).
  4. Observe that the Post Goods Receipt button remains enabled despite the Purchase Order being completed.

Cause

For Purchase Order Logistics, all buttons such as Post Goods Receipt (PGR), PGR as Planned, and New Supplier Delivery Notification remain enabled for "Completed" or "Canceled" statuses in normal supplier (P2P scenario). However, no additional delivery can be created as there is no open quantity available.

In intercompany scenarios, the PGR action is grayed out once the delivery is completed.

Resolution

System is behaving as expected.
