Limit purchase orders with muliple line items

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I know SAP standard limit order purchase orders are only allowed to have one line item and if you try to add more line you receive this message BBP_PD 548: 'Purchase order has more than one limit item. Only one is permitted'.

My question is does anyone know the reason why as it is not the same in ECC. Has anyone ever had a solution or requirement to create more limit lines. I know we can use Hierarchy to enable this but I do not want to do this method.

Our reason behind this is that we create a limit purchase order and the requestor wants to extend the PO value. The customer wants to create a shopping cart and pass through the approval process and then append the existing limit order rather than create a new purchase order.

Has anyone ever acheived something like this?

Thanks

This limitation seems to be more technical than logical. Starting from SRM 7.0, this restriction of having one limit item per PO is no longer there.

There are some more discussion in this area in the following thread:

Hi,

Thankyou for all your answers and it looks like SRM 7.0 is the answer here.

Please ignore my earlier update.

Hi

Multiple Limit items are allowed in SRM 7.0 in extended classic scenario

Refer to :

Note 1302125 - Not able to add two or more limit items in purchase order

Note 1492945 - Only the first limit item is transferred to ECC in ECS

Note 1472036 - Limit PO with account assignment can not be transferred

the PO in SRM has to be identical to PO in R/3. R/3 supports limits without a package, but those limits can not contain accounting data. But SRM needs the accounting data, so SRM have to create a package in R/3. One package can contain only one Limit. SRM can not create two packages, because then the PO in R/3 would differ to the PO in SRM.
