• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_REQ_COMMON134 - CanÆt edit PR: At least one item is Approved or Follow on Doc. Created ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_REQ_COMMON134 indicates that you are trying to edit a Purchase Requisition (PR) that contains at least one item that has been approved or has a follow-on document created. This restriction is in place to maintain the integrity of the procurement process, as changes to approved items or those linked to follow-on documents could lead to inconsistencies.
  Cause:
  
  Approved Items: One or more items in the PR have already been approved, meaning they are in a state where they cannot be modified.
  Follow-on Documents: There may be follow-on documents (like Purchase Orders or Contracts) that have been created based on the PR, which also prevents editing.
  Status of the PR: The overall status of the PR may be set to a state that does not allow for changes (e.g., "Approved" or "Completed").
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Item Status: Review the items in the PR to identify which ones are approved or have follow-on documents. You can do this by checking the item details in the PR.
  Revoke Approval: If you need to make changes, you may need to revoke the approval of the items. This typically requires appropriate permissions and may involve a workflow process.
  Cancel Follow-on Documents: If there are follow-on documents, you may need to cancel or reverse them before you can edit the PR. This also requires appropriate permissions and may involve additional steps.
  Create a New PR: If the changes are significant and cannot be made to the existing PR, consider creating a new PR with the desired changes and referencing the old one for context.
  Consult with Procurement Team: If you are unsure about the process or the implications of making changes, consult with your procurement or purchasing team for guidance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to PRs and to revoke approvals or cancel follow-on documents.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on managing Purchase Requisitions and understanding the approval workflow.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as ME51N (Create Purchase Requisition), ME52N (Change Purchase Requisition), and ME53N (Display Purchase Requisition) to navigate the PR process effectively.
  Workflow Processes: Understand the workflow processes in your organization related to PR approvals and changes, as these can vary by company.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error and proceed with the necessary changes to your Purchase Requisition.
