Shopping Cart line items splittting into different Purchase Orders.

[Former Member]

Hiya,

We have implemented ECS on srm 5.0 and are now noticing that if we have a Shopping Cart with two identical line items that have the same ship to address delivery location, price, delivery date, supplier etc, that it is infact incorrectly splitting into two individual purchase order documents, when we are expecting one po document only. We are 100 % certain that that data in the two lines is the same as we used the line item copy function to create the second item.

Pleae can someone elaborate as to why the SRM system determines for the PO document to split and if any special customisation settings are required to prevent this.

Warmest regards,

Pooja Kaur.

Hiya,

I have looked at your thread link but cannot see any correlation to my issue. In my Cart, both items are exactly identical and the header datas for items 010 and 020 are the same on the Cart.Upon approving this Cart document, cart items are on 010 and 020 are on 2 different PO documents.

Still very much indeed confused as to the manner why the cart incorrectly splits???

Warmest regards, Pooja.

Hi

View V_EXT_ACT should give you the active BADI's.

In the maen time i will also check it from my side.

Hope that your item should follow the next item must have same vendor. no gap between other item different vendor.

Hiya

As mentioned, the vendors between the two lines are no different and are definatley the same ones as we copies line 020 from line 010.

Warmest regards.

Hello,

I have reperformed the scenario and I am afraid to say so but the two manually entered Cart lines with the same header data are deciding to split to to seperate POs.

The OSS database and BBP_pd are also not providing and reasons as to why we have a split.

warmest regards, Pooja.
