Duplicate PO

[Former Member]

hi All,

as we all know that duplicate PO functionality in SAP is checked for a combination of Sold to and the PO no entered, should it activated in VOV8 for the order type. However, I want to check it for the combination of the Ship TO + PO entered-- would request you to suggest solutions for this...

Fast responses are highly appreciated.

System does the check based on Sold to party and not ship to party. I think you will have to use exit to meet the requirement.

hi GSL,

yea I know it has to be done using U-exit(MV45AFZZ) and check in table VBKD etc..

but, I'm checking, if anybody has already done this and if so, plz share the solution? Or, somebody has a better way to do it?

Hi,

In Purchasing PO Number should be unique within the same client.

hi Srilatha,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I've tried the foll:

1. Same sold to party, same ship to party & same PO Number, then system doesnu2019t allow us to save the order because of duplicate PO

2. Same Sold to Party, different ship to party & same PO number, system allows us to save order

For ex.

Scenario :

case 1) SP1SH1PO1 Sales Order saved.

case 2) SP1SH2PO1 Sales Order saved.

case 3) SP2SH1PO1-- error.

case 4) SP2SH1PO2--saved.

I want the system to stop for me case 2, too.

I hope I'm clear.

Raghu.
