Maximum number of line items in a Contract

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

What is the largest possible number of line items a contract can hold?

Is there is any best practices on line items number? E.g. Would SAP recommend to create several contracts insted of a massive one with 3,000 line items?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

Best practice to have One Line item per contract.

The maximum number of line items can be 999 only

Is there any BADI to enlarge the Contract 999 line item limit?

Does 999 line item limit apply to POs?

Hi Mark,

The issue with contracts is never the number of items in a contract, but the total number of conditions. You can have 1 item and 15,000 cond rows and have a contract with 10,000 rows and 1 cond per row and the 15k contract will be longer running than the 10k item line contract.

The below note is excellant when it comes to improving performance due to large contracts:
