Question:
I am familiar with delete/undeleting line items in a PO. But how do I delete a entire PO ? Also, is there a way to mark a PO for "completion" ?
thx
Answer:
Since SAP is very item specific, it does not have a function to delete and entire PO (all items and all activity). Each item must be deleted.
If this doesn't answer your question, please define what you mean by having the PO be marked for "completion".

Answer:
Thanks for the response.
Well, here is what I am trying to do.
1) Delete a PO or Flag a PO for deletion. Like you said, I can delete the items in a PO and this in turn puts a flag in the item table. EKPO. But there is also a flag for deletion at the header level in table EKKO. So my guess is there must a way to delete or flag the entire PO for deletion
2) As a buyer, lets say, for some reason, I would like to set a PO for "Completion" even though complete delivery/invoicing has not been made. (for example PO quantity was 200 and the item invoiced so far is 199 and for all practical purposes the PO is "Completed") Is that possible ? Or is it that my best option it set the flag for deletion ?
Thanks again.
Answer:
In reference to the example you mentioned in subject 2 of your messsage - You can set the "Final Invoice" indicator on the item if you do not expect to get the invoice for that last 1. Also, when Account Mtce is performed the GR/IR will be cleared for the remaining value (provided you had GR valuation for that item).
As for the deletion indicator in the EKKO table - I am not familiar with any funtion that would set this. Perhaps and SAP hacker knows about it and can answer for you... sorry,

Answer:
Hello,
You also need to set the delivery completed indicator at the item level. Well, I strongly recommend not to flag the PO at the header or at item level for deletion, when you are about to or already made payments. Depends on the country's laws, you need to retain the PO for certain number of years. After that period or after the closure, depends on the auditing and sizing strategy, you need to archive the PO to another archive database. If some body is asking for wizards or hackers, you need to be careful for legal implications of deleting a PO without saving in an archive database. SAP do offer flexibility, but at a great cost to the client. Do not ever delete the transaction data in a production environment. Thanks.
