Group Limit items to create one PO

[Former Member]

Hi All,

while creating limit items, we want to group all limit items in one PO. I am aware that it is SAP standard behavior that we should not have more than one limit item in a PO.

But is there any BADI available for such an enhancement so that we can gorup multiple limit items to create one single PO ?

Thanks.

Hello,

In case of Extended classic scenario, as per the standard system design, it is not possible to create two limit items in one PO, when a PO is created manually from transaction "Create purchase order" (BBP_POC).

If you want to have two limit items in one PO, this is possible only by a Shopping cart. In shopping cart, you have to create two hierarchies with one limit item in each hierarchy. This will then create a PO with two limit items. This is the only way you can have two limit items in one PO in case of ECS.

Multiple packages concept is introduced in SRM 5.0.

The prerequisite to have multiple service packages in SRM is to have multiple hierarchy items in one PO. Unfortunately there is nearly no way to create hierarchy items directly from PO. It is only possible by a SC or an RFI process. The multiple service package handling was built exactly for this scenario.

Items need to be hierarchy items so that different packages are created for each item. If you have more then 1 limit item you will end up with 1 package for all of them.

This results in PO not being created in the backend raising an error message: #Sum of Percentages > 200.0< exceeds 100%.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Ricardo

Hi Aaarvi,

technically it should be possible to enable it on th SRM site, but there is a limitation on the backend site therefore it doesn't make scene.
