Blocking or signaling due to the price stage, is applicable only for purchase order lines. Requests for quotation (RFQs) If the Price Stage Mandatory check box is selected in the Request for Quotation Parameters (tdpur0100m100) session, a price stage must be linked to an RFQ in these sessions: When converting the response line to a purchase order, purchase contract, or price book using the Convert RFQs (tdpur1202m000) session, the price stage is copied from the response line to the purchase order line, purchase contract price revision, or price book. Purchase contracts You can specify a price stage for a contract price revision in the Price Stage field of the Purchase Contract Prices (tdpur3103m000) session. If a price book is linked to the contract price revision, the price book's price stage is displayed in the Book Price Stage field of the Purchase Contract Prices (tdpur3103m000) session and the Price Stage field is blank and disabled. If the Price Stage Mandatory check box is selected in the Purchase Contract Parameters (tdpur0100m300) session, a price stage must be specified in the Purchase Contract Prices (tdpur3103m000) session before you can activate the price revision. Note If the Change Requests check box is selected in the Purchase Contract Parameters (tdpur0100m300) session, the price stage can be modified after purchase contract activation only by using the change request process.

It is mandatory to specify a price stage for an order line if the Price Stage Mandatory check box is selected in the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session. The blocking definition that is linked to the price stage determines the phase at which the order process must be blocked or a signaling message must be displayed. Blocking or signaling can be done during these phases for a purchase order line:
Purchase order lines that are blocked because of 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. 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. You can update the price stage for a purchase order line only until the order line is processed in the Process Delivered Purchase Orders (tdpur4223m000) session. After confirmation of a receipt:
