View technical deviations for a PO position

A technical deviation is a measured difference between the required and available value. For example, if you need a material of Grade A standard, but the supplier has ready stock of the same material with a different grade, then, the technical deviation is the product condition or a slight change from the documented standard.

Before you view the technical deviation, ensure a technical deviation is defined for the Purchase Order (PO) position in the s50020 Followup on Request for Quote screen.

1. Navigate to the s50018 Purchase Order screen.

2. To refresh the screen, select the F5 key.

3. In the Purchase Order Header grid, select a row.

4. In the Position grid, select the Purchase Order Position tab.

5. In the Purchase Order Position grid, select a row.

6. On the s50018 menu, in the View Information group, select Technical Deviation.

   The d0277 Technical Deviations dialog appears.

   In the Material Deviations grid, view the technical deviation details such as the technical deviation text, approval status, supplier, and so on.
