PR CO commitment reduction using multiple account assignment

[#1]

Hi experts,

I'm analyzing and studyng PR CO commitment reduction in MM module and I didn't understand the system logical design.

I've created a PR using multiple account assignment for 3 quantities of a specific material as shown below.

The CO commitment has been performed as expected, I mean, one quantity (roughly 3.255,00 BRL) per internal order.

So far, so good 🙂

After that, I've created a PO referencing this PR, but requesting only 2 quantities, as shown below.

After this PO has been posted, I came back to PR and realized the following: Even though my PO is only requesting 2 quantities, using the internal orders 625609 and 625610, the PR commitment reduced in all internal orders (625609, 625610 and 625611).

is the correct system logical design? Shouldn't the commitment be reduced only for internal orders used in PO?

Why the system reduced internal order 625611 if I didn't use it in PO? Is there anyway to modify this behavior or it's the standard design and can't be modified?

Thanks a lot in advanced.

Well, your package is quite advanced, but still there could be issues. For example, look at this note:

2760819 - Incorrect PR commitment update

P.S. Raising OSS message sounds as a good idea.

Thanks a lot Eli,

I'm going to apply this SAP note to verify if the problem will be solved. If it doesn't work, I'm going to raise an oss message to SAP.

As soon as I have any news about that, I'll update this message to let you know the final solution.

Hi,

Commitment reduction algorithm is full of bugs for complicated cases, e.g. multiple account assignment. The situation you described looks to me as such a bug. What SAP release and package do you work with?

Hi Eli,

Sad to know about those bugs!

This scenery was created in sap ecc 6.0 ehp 4 SP 19.

Based in your opinion, I'm considering open a ticket to SAP analyzes that so.
