Hi Hardik,

You can find the validity period of the PO in the PO itself.

Go to Header - Additional data .

There you can define the validity start and End date of the PO .

Hope this helps.

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

It depends on customizing settings for the PO for shipment costing. You can set a period for validity of the PO. In standard it is set to a month (I believe). It will split up per forwarding agent.

Quote of help.sap:

The purchase order can be valid for the following periods:

Day

Week

Month

In Customizing the purchasing organization, the purchasing group and the plant must be assigned to the corresponding transportation planning point and the shipment cost type. You make these settings in the IMG. Choose Logistics Execution ® Transportation ® Shipment costs ® Settlement ® Assign purchasing data.

End quote.

Hi,

Go to customizing, Logistics execution/ transportation / Shipment costs / Shipment cost document / Shipment cost types and item categories and then double click on the item category types. There you have in the settlement area a field PO generation.

Dear experts, also for selection of PO validity period for one month, is there anyway to update the item line quantity and amount to the accumulated values (quantity and amounts) reflected in the PO history tab?

My understanding is that at item detail level (PO history tab), should not be higher that values on item level (Item Overview)
