How to use this session

This session provides a side to side view of the field values for the original order line (on the left) and for the change request line (on the right). You can update a selection of fields for the change request. The availability of fields depends on the status of the actual purchase order.

Because this session is a copy of the original order line in the Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000) session, refer to the Help of that session for an explanation of the fields. In this session, only the fields that are unique or different for the change request are explained.

Reinitialize Change Request
If there is a mismatch between the original order line and the change request line, and consequently the change request line is locked for updates, this option regenerates the change request line (and related data) based on the updated purchase order line. For example, a mismatch can occur if the order line is finally received during the change request process for the purchase order.

Example

A purchase order includes ten order lines with a different status. For the first order line, an update is required. Consequently, a change request is generated for the entire purchase order.

If a final receipt can be executed for the second order line, the existence of a corresponding change request line that is not modified, may not block the original order line to be received. Consequently, the order line is received and the related fields are updated. However, now a mismatch occurs between the second order line and the second change request line.

Due to this mismatch, the second change request line is locked for updates and the reinitialization of the change request is required.
