Symptom
- There is no direct option to view the purchase order print form in the My Inbox app before the purchase order is approved.
- Users want to check the print form before purchase order approval in My Inbox (app id F0862).
- The available alternative via Manage Purchase Orders is considered too lengthy.
- Users would like approvers to directly access Output Parameters or preview the purchase order print form from My Inbox.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the My Inbox app (App ID F0862).
- Select a purchase order task.
- Open the purchase order from the task.
- Choose "Manage Purchase Orders".
- In Manage Purchase Orders, open the selected purchase order.
- Open Output Parameters and review/preview the print form.
Cause
This is the standard system design. My Inbox is primarily designed as a notification and approval application, allowing approvers to review key business information and perform approval-related actions. At present, it does not provide a standard option to directly navigate to the Purchase Order Output Parameters or preview the Purchase Order print form.
Resolution
- Use My Inbox to review the key approval-relevant fields presented in the purchase order task.
- To preview the purchase order print form, open the Manage Purchase Orders app, open the corresponding purchase order, navigate to Output Parameters, and preview the form there.
- Be aware that attaching the purchase order print form as a PDF in email notifications is not supported by standard design.
- If a direct preview or navigation from My Inbox is required, submit a product improvement request via Customer Influence. Refer to: KBA 2838428 - How to Submit Feature Requests for Procure in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition Product.
