• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 61188 - The purchase requisition has been completely ordered ?

  The SAP error message 61188, "The purchase requisition has been completely ordered," typically occurs when you attempt to create a purchase order (PO) or make changes to a purchase requisition (PR) that has already been fully converted into a purchase order. This means that all items in the purchase requisition have been ordered, and no further actions can be taken on that requisition.

  Complete Ordering: The purchase requisition has been fully processed, and all items have been converted into purchase orders.
  Status of Purchase Requisition: The status of the purchase requisition is set to "Completed," indicating that it cannot be modified or further processed.
