Return to Vendor Hold Code

Hey Team,

I know there is an enhancement bug out there asking for approvals with a negative amount AND another enhancement to put purchase orders on hold once they are created. I am wondering if there is a workaround for this or to at least put a hold code initially on any Return to Vendors orders (Negative Purchase Orders). I noticed there was a workaround in the following document - E1: 43: Purchase Order Entry (P4310) FAQ (Doc ID 1128793.1)

There is a workaround. This would involve setting up a new menu item for Enter Purchase Orders. The processing options would need to be set up to not call an Approval Route Code. The status codes could then default to a unique status added to Order Activity Rules (P40204) bypassing Approvals. For example, if 230/280 is used for Approvals, a new status code could be set up when entering orders as 229/285.
