SC with 2 plants results still in one PO

[Former Member]

We are in SRM5.5 Ext Classic.

A user created a SC > 1 sc line . And he ahs choosen different plants for line items. We would expect different PO's would be created per plant, but the system isn't . It has created just one PO for all line items.

It this behaviour we expected not SAP/SRM default ? Should we enhance the system to get this functionality ?

It is standard and Plant is not one of the spliting criteria.

Below is the standard split criteria that is taken into account.

1. Purchasing Org.

2. Pur. Group

3.Company Code

4. Vendor

5. Desired Vendor

6. Doc Type

7. Contract Header Number

8.Procurement Card Company & Number

9.External Quotation

9. Logical system

10. Subtype(Extended, local Scenario)

11.External Requirement item number(ext_dem_posid)

12.logical system from where the external requirement comes(Ext_dem_logsys).

Additionally you check in class CL_BBP_SC_TRANSFER, search for method SPLIT* ...e.g SPLIT_LOCAL_PO

Hello,

Badi BBP_GROUP_LOC_PO could be used to split local POs depending on your needs.

Hi,

This is expected behavior of system.  Different POs will be created if the Header data is different, for eg Supplier.  If the data at line item level is same, it will create a one Purchase Order.
