Blocking purchase ordersIn Procurement, you can block purchase orders or purchase order lines. Purchase orders and lines can be manually blocked, or are automatically blocked because of a compliance check failure, or a price stage check. Setup and procedure
Manually blocking purchase orders
Note If the change request functionality is implemented for purchase orders, you can also block and release purchase order (line) change requests. Compliance check failure Purchase order lines that are blocked because the import compliance check or the letter of credit (L/C) check failed, are displayed in the Purchase Order (Line) Blockings (tdpur4120m000) session with the Hold Reason value retrieved from the Import Compliance Hold Reason or the Letter of Credit Hold Reason fields in the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session. The blocked lines cannot be released in the Purchase Order (Line) Blockings (tdpur4120m000) session. To unblock a line, you must update the required compliance data and re-execute the compliance check, or an authorized user can manually override the block by using the Document Compliance Check Results (tcgtc1510m000) or Override Compliance Check Results Workbench (tcgtc1610m100) sessions. Price stage check Purchase order lines that are blocked due to the price stage, are displayed in the Purchase Order (Line) Blockings (tdpur4120m000) session. The value of the Hold Reason field is retrieved from the blocking definition that is linked to the price stage. Based on the blocking phase for the blocking definition, the purchase order line can be blocked during these phases:
The blocked lines cannot be released in the Purchase Order (Line) Blockings (tdpur4120m000) session. To unblock a line, you must update the price stage. Based on the new price stage, the order process can continue, a new blocking can be created, or only a signal may be displayed.
