Hello,

I believe in standard SAP it is 999, but I don't think the line items more than 200 to 250 are common in standard busienss scenario.

It is controlled in the Table VBAP & Field POSNR.

hi,

this is my personal experiance that we can enter at the most 499 line items in SALES ORDER.

This is because for every line item there will be 2 financial entries, debit and credit. and 1 FI document can have at the most 999 line items (which we can not increase without KEY fromSAP)

If we divide 999 by 2 then it comes to 499.50 so you can enter at the most 499 line items in Sales order.

If you want to solve this issue, you can do it by FI summarisation. For this u can use t code OBCY and take ref procedure VBRK. Here you can use BSEG Table and MATNR Field, so that accounting document will get summarised.

Hi,

For lines and FI document, see OSS note :

36353 FICO interface Summarization of FI documents - Max 999 lines
