Hi Goudham,<br>
<br>
Yes, that I know. My question was more from business perspective. What a<br>
business should do when a PO is rejected or in other words, as SAP<br>
consultant what should we suggest them to do if a PO is rejected.<br>
<br>
Currently, they follow manual processes to handle this.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Richa<br>

Prior to implementing SRM, our PO's were routing through workflow for approvals. If it needed to be rejected, we had an additional step in the logic that the approver had to put a reason in the header notes. I would need to check with our programmer to see how that was included in the workflow logic.<br>

Hi Folks,<br>
<br>
What is the best practice for a business in case of rejection of a purchase order?<br>
Just to notify someone, or to take some specific actions.<br>
<br>
Reason behind asking this question is that our client has asked us what should they do from SAP perspective when a PO is rejected. Currently, they simply notify the buyer if a PO is rejected and that too manually using outlook.<br>
