Your frequent blockers

My purchase order is not sent to the supplier.
First check whether it is released (ME29N), then the message under “Output”. The message must exist and be processed.
The proposed price is wrong.
Check the info record and the contract in the source determination, then the purchase order conditions.
The invoice is blocked.
In MRBR, identify the cause: price, quantity or date. The correction is often made on the purchase order, then the invoice is released.
