What should be done if a PO is rejected!!!

Hi Goudham,

The best practice is to activate the standard workflow. This one creates a
workitem for the buyer to process the rejected PO.
Buyer should either:
1. Edit PO and re-send for approval.
2. Delete the PO.

It is important that buyer will process the rejected PO because if it is
left rejected then:
1. if it's an inventory PO, it still appears in MRP.
2. if it's non-inventory PO, it is still a commitment.

BTW, this is purely MM, not workflow. I hope this helps.



*Regards,Shai Eyal*
