Have you guys dealt with issues where you need to move PO status back (ie from 400 to 300) under certain conditions? How did you go about doing it?
We have requirements where a PO can be changed up until it is fully received. Some changes need acknowledgements from supplier. We receive acknowledgements through BSSV (P43XPI). So, what I've suggested to business is to modify OAR to accept acknowledgements at 400 status as well - which will basically move the PO from 400 to 300 status. There's a lot of push back that I am receiving from business, saying they can't do that.
Technically, I am not sure how to handle it, as the PO Acknowledgement transaction fails if we don't define 300 as an acceptable status if PO is at 400.
I've attached a file where I have recommended to add certain status to OAR. Please advise me how you guys have handled such issues where PO had to be moved back.
Also, is it industry best practice to flow statuses only one-way (forward)? Not sure why I am receiving push-back from business that POs can't be moved backwards - although, in reality, they are making changes to PO on statuses which demands PO to move backwards.
Thanks
