Maximum number of line items in PO/SA....

[Former Member]

Hi,

1.

What is the limitation on maximum number of line items in a PO/schedulling agreement/Contract.

2.

Also what is the maximum permissible number of lines in a single accounting document possible.As far as I know there is a limitation of counter 999 meaning if an aaccounting document is generated after GR then it will only allow max 999 lines.

Is there any other way to avoid this.Because in my case I have for several line items in PO and several pricing conditions with separate GL account.Now when I do GR and if a PO has many line items with about 4 to 5 conditions then for each line item there would be minimum 6-7 entries.

How can this best be handled in SAP.

I was being adviced to split the GR but is there any better way or is there any option like summerised acounting document ?

Please suggest as this is most critical for me.

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Hi,

There is no limitation in PO. But if you want, you can use following user exit;

<b>EXIT_SAPMM06E_012</b>

With regard to Maximum Number of items: There is a limit of (999) line items which can be posted per FI document. This is because the line item number (BSEG-BUZEI) field length is defined as (3) numeric positions, i.e., (999) line items.

The most commonly used workarounds are as follows:

(1) Implement FI summarization (per note 36353).

(2) Cancel the original billing document and split it into smaller documents using different payment terms but actually with the same terms, in case of invoice verification.

This will avoid the (999) line item limit for FI postings. Please also have a look at the note 117708 and 77161.
