Shopping Cart - Limit Item

[Former Member]

Hi gurus ... anyone know how Limit Orders (pos.cat. B) are suppose to work from SRM Classic Scenario? E.g.: Validity Start and End are not transferred from the Shopp.Cart/Requisition to the Purch.order - neither is the storage location... On the other side - ValidityStart/End is not possible to enter if you create a P.Req in the Backend system either ... so - how is this supposed to work? Appreciate all answers. brgs ziggy

That's the problem.... it really does not work for requisitions, but it should work for puchase orders. We have the same issue and have submitted a developement request.

However, you should know that limit items are framework in nature. So there are things you must do in the BBP_CREATE_XXX_BACK Badis to massage the data accordingly (ie Line Type).

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your answer! We do select "invoice only" but dates still don't appear in ECC (item cat. is B). But I'm still confused regarding where the dates should appear? I only see the validity dates (empty though) at header-level, not on the "delivery" tab? Do we need to create PO directly in backend system, not Requisition? brgs ziggy

Hi,

It also depends on what follow-up actions you select while creating a Limit SHC in SRM. If you select "Confirmation and Invoice", then it will not be transferred as a Limit Item but a Service Item, and if you select "Invoice Only", then it will be transferred as a Limit item with the validity dates, etc.

Hi,

Classic scenario supports Limit PO`s and the validity dates are transferred as well. Check in the Delivery tab of the PO, the validity dates should be there. Also check if the item category is B.

EC scenario does not support LIMIT PO`s.
