Hello

I have a problem and i don't know how it could be possible.

Hello

I have SRM 3.0. i'm using internal number ranges.

They are defined from 4400000000 to 4499999999. And the number actual is 4400107553.

the last PO number is not yet 4499999999.

Hi

So you mean everytime you are creating a new Purchase order, the same old number - 4400107553 is used every time. Is it correct ?

How are you creating Purchase orders ? Manually / using Shopping cart / ??

Do let me know.

yesterday, i have created 3 purchase orders 4400107550, 4400107551, 4400107552.

And when i check in BBP_PD, i have 2 PO with the number 4400107550, 2 PO with the number 4400107551...

I created the POs using shopping card.

Hi

So the PO created is a Local SRM PO..

How many line items were there in each puchase order ? I think you have used muliple-line items in each PO (and based on various vendors, plants, used fo each item) .. Therefore, the SRM shopping cart got splitted in multple SRM Local POs in this case..

Do let me know.

Right, In one case, i'hve created a schopping acrd with 2 items which had 2 diffrenst vendors, so i can understand that there would had 2 PO. But it is not normal i have 2 PO with the same number.

Ih've juste created an other schopping card with on item. And it has created 1 purchase order with the same number than an other...

So strange...

Hi

<b>Yes.. this is correct. This is standard SAP functionality.</b>

No need to worry at all.. This is correct approach by SAP.
