3708532 - Purchase Requisition release date discrepancy

Symptom

  • The release date for the Purchase Requisition appears as a future date, specifically e.g. 24.11.2024, while the actual Purchase Requisition release date is e.g. 07.11.2024 for PR.
  • The discrepancy prevents the identification of the correct release date for the purchase requisition, which is required for creating purchase orders.

Reproducing the Issue

Cause

Resolution

  1. Understand that the "Release Date" displayed in the purchase requisition item indicates the date when the purchase requisition is ready to be converted into a purchase order, not the date when the purchase requisition was approved.
  2. To identify the approval date of the purchase requisition, refer to the change documents associated with the purchase requisition item.
  3. Access the "Create Purchase Requisition Advanced" app and navigate to the specific line item. From there, select "Environment" and then "Item Changes" to view the approval date.
  4. Alternatively, use the "Manage Purchase Requisitions Professional" app and click on the "Change Log" button within the item details page to view the approval date.
  5. For further tracking and reference, utilize the exposed CDS views available at the following links:
