Completed PO Created in R/3 Need to be deleted in APO

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have some cases of R/3 created POs (PP/DS) which are in complete status in R/3 but they are still visible in product view in APO.

The delta report doesn't catch these POs since we have exhaustively used userexits and custom programs in CIF.

We can use /SAPAPO/DELETE_PP_ORDER for these POs but the POs dont get deleted from version 000 through this report.

Pls advise if there is any way to delete these POs apart from the intial CIF transfer of PRPO and apart from using the BAPI: BAPI_POSRVAPS_REMOVEITEMS

Thanks

Sachin

Hi Harish,

Using a BAPI would basically mean a new development. I was looking for an option where SAP wld have provided some way to handle this without any new development. Utility DELETE_PP_ORDER fails in 000 otherwsie it was a good option.

I will try your suggestion or would go ahead for the new utility development through BAPI_POSRVAPS_REMOVEITEMS.

Thanks

Sachin,

I believe everyone in this forum would first recommend you to check your user exits and correct the code so that the PO gets closed in APO as soon as it is done in R3.

Deleting the PO's would not be a very good way of fixing this issue.

Hi Kumar,

These occurrences are very low in number. It just happens once in a while and hence not a regular phenomenon. All other POs vanish from APO realtime when they complete in R/3.

So any other standard way of eliminating these completed POs from APO would be appreciated.

i dont know why you didnt want to use the other bapi

but a suggestion - why dont you find a way of downloading the erring PO numbers from R3 and then use another program to reload this into APO using the BAPI_POSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI3 (check this am not sure oif your version) and putting quantity 0. This should calcel the POs in APO

Sachin,

Are the "rogue" orders at a Technically Complete status (TECO) or not? It may be that a few orders are not getting completed correctly and are still visible in APO.

Hi Ian,

The rogue orders are totally in complete status.
