We do not wish users to enter a particular supplier. One way, but not sure if is recommended, is to change the Supplier Status from 'Actual' to 'Potential'. Is this 'safe' to do? The supplier has history records.

Thanks for any input.

Not sure if is possible to change the status if the supplier is already used, but you can instead block the supplier for order entry, etc.

Try blocking the supplier from "table data authorisations" . You need to identify all concerned tables and copy the authorisations to all users.

hi,

Change the status to "Inactive" and filled in the expire date for that supplier.

Hello all, I am having a problem in PO
Why the Business Partners already inactive could still be processed to the Purchase Order, if there are any incorrect settings.
thank you

Hi,

Check if the PO was created when the BP was inactive. If you are able to, I guess you are missing some solutions in your environment. As per standard, you cannot create a PO for an inactive BP.

Thanks for your response buschanda
How to check if there are any solutions that lost?

Hi,

First just try to add a new Purchase Order and check if you are able to select an inactive BP. If you are able to do it, then you can contact your tools guys to make sure they have latest solutions installed.
