Limit PO item : remaining limit

[former_member252154]

Hi Gurus,

can somebody explain here what is the use of "remaining limit" in general data tab of PO Limit item?

SAP documentation is not very clear on this point :

"You can spread the value limit over partial limits (contract limits and remaining limits) or establish an undefined value limit. The sum of the contract limits created may be greater than the value limit. The system checks and ensures that the value of the ordered items is not greater than the value limit.

■You can assign the relevant product category and define the period in which the goods should be delivered or the service performed.

Note

If you do not specify a value limit or a remaining limit, the system designates the remaining limit by default as unlimited."

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

According SAP development, the purpose of remaining limit field is as same as the field Free limit/limit available in the backend ECC PO.

This is usually used for unplanned services. You need not have the source of supply related for this limit. Basically, you can use this for services which have no contracts.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Ricardo
