SRM7 External staff with limit/perdiem item : PO split?

[Former Member]

o  Hello

o  I'm using Procurement for external staff with SRM 7.0

o  1/ I request  one service, for which I add travel costs and limits for example.

   This creates a SC with three lines:  

o    – the line request for service

   – the line for per diem/travel costs

   – the limit item

2/ Then when I order the SC, it automatically creates a RFX with the request for service, and the travel and limit items are send to the purchaser sourcing cockpit.

3/ Then when I have Bid responses, and I accept one

the PO is created automatically in relation to the RFX, the supplier is also automatically set for the travel and limit items that where waiting in the SOCO

And a second PO (for the same supplier as the first one) is created with these two items.

This seems to be the standard behaviour, Ok fine.

My question is about hs PO split…why is there two PO created? 

Is there a business purpose for that?

I would prefer to have  a single PO with the first line related to the RFX and the travel an limit automatically inserted in the same PO.

Thanks for input
