Hi,

999,999 line items can be entered in a Sales order, but:

1. FI document has a restriction of 999 line items per document. So, depending on the account settings, there will be a lower limit. E.g. if each Sales order line item results in 2 line items in the accounting document, then the max. no. of SO line items is limited to 499.

2. If FI summarization is active, then the system summarizes the account postings, thus reducing the no. of FI line items. Hence, a SO can accomodate more than 999 line items. However, this means that certain line item level details will not be available to the Finance guys (which they may not like).

3. As the number of line items in a Sales order increases, the system performance suffers greatly. There are performance fixes available, but in general, it is painful to load a SO with large no. of line times through BDC's. 10 Sales orders with 100 lines each consume less system resources than 1 Sales order with 1000 lines.

Hi

The maximum possible line items in the sales order will be 999999, if the item number increment is 1. If the item number increment is 10, then the max possible line items will be 99999. The length of the field POSNR (which represents the line item number) is 6 and hence the max possible lines are 999999. It is based on my understanding and never tried this.

Thanks,

Ravi
