Numbering issue

[former_member64271]

Hello Experts,

I was wondering if any of you have found a way to use customer SAP Backend numbering sequence (standard, with increments of 10) when implementing E-Sourcing 5.1

SAP E-Sourcing supports a line item numbering schema in increments of 1, but in SAP ERP, the line item number interval is controlled by customization of the document type.

From SAP:

"When a purchase order (PO) is created in SAP ERP from a master agreement or an SAP E-Sourcing award, line

item numbers will be in increments of 1, regardless of SAP ERP customization"

However, customer would like to keep their current document types with their numbering sequence (increments of 10), instead of creating new ERP Document Types with increments of 1.

Let me know if any of you has come with a solution for this.

Thanks!

Hello,

The default behavior is to increment the line item number by 1. There is no configuration to alter that behavior.

You could try importing line items by specifying the line item number in import file. But if there is large number of line items, Iu2019m not sure what kind of impact it would have.

Hi Vikram,

Not all users import line items all the time. They create the line items on the UI. To handle such cases, can we do some scripting to change the numbering and achieve what was intially asked in the question?

Any pointers in this direction would be appreciated.
