Dear customer

Please refer to the attached KBA's/Notes on the locking logic topic.

2614240 Purchase Order locking

2721633 Supplier Invoice Locking

2580756 Delivery/PO locking

Please consider, if a user has generated a draft change to a purchase order, but not committed/saved the change, for example via APP 'Manage Purchase Orders' The document remains in a draft locked status until the change is actually committed, cancelled, or when the lock is automatically released by the system. In this case if a user does not intend to save a change they should use the cancel/discard option in the APPs, to avoid unintentional locking of the documents.

Otherwise if a user is actually processing the document at the time you try a follow on action a hard lock (SM12 in the backend) will be in place and the lock error would be expected.

I hope this helps you further

Kind regards

Brian

Hello there,

Can you check and confirm if you have used a Purchase Order with Item Category 'D'?

Since the SES concept has changed to 'Lean Service', this is now a service based on Material Master (material type SERV) not on Item Category D and Service Master.

Please try to use a Purchase Order with Item Category Standard (empty) instead.

Here is the KBA which talks about these errors in the Manage Service Entry Sheets app.
