Summary :
SAP Note addresses the behavior of purchase orders on hold in ME21N, highlighting their visibility in stock/requirements lists and impact on budget in accounting. Purchase orders on hold are designed to be relevant for planning and consume budget due to their potential to become active orders linked to purchase requisitions. This necessitates their inclusion in quantity and value-based planning. If a purchase order on hold is not confirmed as active, it should either be archived or have its items deleted using Transaction ME22N. Note 365771 prevents errors in budget verification for held purchase orders.
