Hi Everyone,
Is there a way to print unapproved PO in the system?
As per the current system design, the print option would only be available if the PO is approved.
Wasn’t sure if there are any alternative way to allow the printing without approving it.
Thanks!
you can customize and add your own print button and write your own BAQ to get data based on report data POForm:

Thank you have a nice day! 
Hey, Thank you very much for the prompt response and sharing above, appreciate it very much!
May I check with you if the solution above is able to access to the same print interface as per what the default print button does?
Initially thought that it could be achieved by setting the ReadyToPrint as True but that doesn’t seem to be the case to enable the print form without approving the PO
I’m also wondering if it is possible to create a button to call the ERP.UIRpt.POForm process … scratching my head trying all sort of methods 
This is a segment of the load code for that module.
Judging from this, if you use ProcessCaller to launch “PR000346” (at least in mine) with LaunchFormOptions
and ValueIn with your PO, it may do what you want.
if (this.LaunchFormOpts != null && this.LaunchFormOpts.ValueIn != null)
{
this._PONum = Convert.ToInt32(this.LaunchFormOpts.ValueIn.ToString());
this.trans.setIncParams(this._PONum);
return;
}
Unsolicited suggestion: In your unapproved PO Form, put some big warning in there like “THIS PO IS NOT APPROVED AND IS FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES ONLY.”
This isn’t a bug that you can’t print a PO that is not approved. It is intended to prevent buyers from sending the form to a supplier if their management does not want them to do so.
Thanks a lot! Will need to spend quite a sum of time to study through this 
Hi Jason,
Thank you for the suggestion! appreciate it very much, indeed the PO report needs to have some sort of labeling to indicate unapproved PO.
Yes, it is not a bug and I understand the intention of this design.
This is more towards our management preference actually
