Have you ever experienced any situation where  it is  possible for the system to filter the print options based on the status of the PO?

Is there an option we can use to adjust applicable print options according to the PO status.?

For example cancelled POs only have the “Print Order Work Copy” command as the print option.
But in the order reports when user enter the cancelled PO number it shows all the print options.

User tries to print the “Order Changes” report.

Option to print 'Order Changes' is available for a PO with no POCOs

When user selects a non applicable print type there is no output. 

Just wanted to check if there is any option available or experience to share.

Hi,

When you use Order report functionality, you can select a report to specify report parameters, and how you want to distribute the report. Since this is overview level report functionality (in another word admin level utility) that loads up with all available reports layouts with specific report parameters. Here, there is no way to filter out report parameters based on status of the main reporting parameter(In your test case Purchase Order). Our recommendation is to print directly from the relevant IFS application page which is more convenient and quicker.

regards,

Piyal
