Closing Purchase Orders and Replenishment Orders

If you, as the customer, do not expect any more changes to purchase orders or replenishment orders, you can use the /SCA/PO_SET_CLOSED report to close purchase order items in SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC).

Caution Caution

This report only allows you to close orders locally in SAP SNC. SAP SNC does not send a message to the back-end system of the customer or supplier.

End of the caution.

Features

Selecting the Items to Close

You can select items that you want to close according to various criteria. These include the following:

Order type
To close purchase order items, use the Purchase Order order type (ORDR). To close replenishment orders, use the Replenishment Order order type (VGOR).
Header status of the order
Item status
Latest requested delivery date
Purchase order number
Sales order number (relevant for replenishment orders)
Replenishment order number

Processing the Items

The report closes an item if the delivery date for all request schedule lines of the item falls before the delivery date you specified in the report settings. Closed order items acquire the item status Closed and can no longer be changed. Therefore, the supplier can no longer create confirmations or ASNs for the item. If all items in an order are closed, the system sets the header status of the order to Closed.
