"No further confirmations expected" on SRM PO closes all lines on ECC PO

[Former Member]

Using SRM 5.0 and ECC6 in extended classic we have the situation when:

Standard SRM is for multiple service lines on SRM purchase order to become one line item and then multiple service sub-lines in ECC.

Our issue is that when we select "No further confirmations expected" on only one line in SRM, confirmations are no longer allowed for the remaining lines in SRM.

It appears that when "No further confirmations expected" is set in SRM for any line, the ECC delivery complete is set at the one service line and then all the sub-lines are closed.

Hi Terry,

This is a standard behaviour with Service procurement. The grouping of serfvice line items happens in R/3 whereby R/3 groups the different line items from SRM service PO into different Service Lines (under Services tab) in R/3 PO.

We had contacted SAP and not much of use (got the above reply).

I wondered, some how if we can rearrange the package numbers in R/3 using some User Exits we could split it into two service line items. But din't dare to try it out, thought it may lead to incosistency between SRM and R/3 po during downstream processes.

regards,
