• Why can't I confirm purchase order line items?

SAP Business Network

The control keys for the line item are set to not allowed, which prevents you from confirming them.

To review the control keys on a purchase order:

1. Sign in to your SAP Business Network account
2. Go to Orders > Purchase Orders and locate your PO
3. Open the PO and scroll down to Line Items
4. Click on Show Item Details on the far right
5. See the Control Keys field revealed below.

Ask your buyer to send a Change Order switching the Control Key value to allow order confirmation. Below is a cXML exemplification of OC prevention:

<ControlKeys><OCInstruction value="notAllowed">

Please note that when confirmation control keys are associated with a purchase order, the control keys take precedence over all business rules.
