Limit Item not show time period in PO

[Keratiya_D]

Dear SAP Support,

I am currently working with limit items in S/4HANA Public Cloud, which have replaced framework orders from ECC 6.0. In ECC, we were able to maintain a validity period (start and end dates) at the PO header level when converting a framework-type purchase requisition to a PO. This functionality allowed us to monitor timelines and extract the validity period into the PO output form.

Howevr, in the Public Cloud version, while the limit amount is shown at the item level, the validity dates are no longer displayed at the header level.

Since I need to define a timeline to monitor framework-type POs and also reflect this information in the PO form output, could you please help verify where this data can be maintained or if there is an alternative approach in the Public Cloud?

Thank you for your support.

Best regards,
Keratiya D.

Hello @Keratiya_D 

The system behaviour you're seeing aligns with SAP’s Public Cloud standards. You can meet your timeline monitoring and form output requirements by leveraging item-level validity dates, adjusting your form templates accordingly, and setting up reports for visibility

References for Implementation,

• KBA 3088316 – Limit Items in Purchase Orders: Overview and Restrictions
• KBA 3086037 – Differences Between Limit Items and Framework Orders
• Form Template Management – SAP Help

Key Notes,

• The header-level validity period for POs does not exist in the Public Cloud by design.
• SAP recommends strictly managing such timeframes for limited items at the item level.
• Form output adjustments and custom reporting are the standard way to meet legacy process requirements without deviating from Public Cloud governance.

Thank you and kind regards
