One SC splitting into different POs

Hi SRM Experts,

There is an incident where user is creating one SC with different line item and it is creating more than one PO while the Basic data are same ie Vendor/Source of Supply,Recipient,PurOrg,Prod Cat etc all are same.

Should purchaser use Submit to Grouping to make different line items into one PO?

When we use Carry Out Sourcing-in the extended search tab one field comes like Intended for Grouping (Chech box) what does it mean when we check this field.

Hi,

Please note that when you order a shopping cart, always a split

happens at the item level if there is no Fixed Vendor specified

for the items.

This is the same case if only a preferred vendor is entered

entered, because a preferred vendor cannot necessarily be a

Fixed Vendor.

However, if the same fixed vendor is specified for all the

items in the shopping cart, then there would not be any split.

Unfortunately this is the standard design, as the system cannot put all

items in the single PO since it would provide the user an option to

enter different vendors for each item later.

Apart from the above, the following aspects also need to be ensured :

Same purchase organisation, purchase group, recipient, pc number,

pc institute & number of external quotation, etc. then only one PO

will be created. Otherwise, multiple PO's will be created.

If you mix services and materials different PO's will be created as the

type of line is also a precondition for creating multiple local POs.

Once you ensure that the above is correct, then you should only get one

PO being created in the backend.

Please,reward point if useful.

Hi,

Goog to see this discussion.

Can anyone update me on this.

I understand that this logic of Preferred vendor/Fix vendor decides whether to spilt the SC items in different PO#.

Can this Logic can be changed by Any means say Change Request/enhancement in system.

Or do we have to accept this as it is and just ensure that vendor gets assigned in every Sc item at first step only.
