Limiting the number of item in the P.O

[sushanta_dash]

Hi All,

Is there any customization to limit the number of line items in a P.O. I know that we can enter upto max 999 numbers of line item in a P.O due to constraint in subsequent financial transaction like invoice verification.

Please also let me know if there are any exit available for achieving the same.

Please let me know ASAP.

Regards,

Sushanta

the limit is technically 99999 as the field length of item number is 5.

IF you want restrict anything, then you have to use an user exit.

There is no problem of having more items than 999 in a PO, you just must not receive more than 333 in one document. (1 material document item can result in 3 items for finance, hence a physical inventory document is limited to 333).

Hi Jugren,

Thanks for your explanation. I am into 4.6c .

Could you please tell me the name of the exit which can be used to meet the requirement.

You can find exits in purchasing this way:

1. Execute Transaction SMOD.

2. Use the F4-input help for field "Enhancement"

3. Press button "Information system"

4. Enter "ME" for the development class and press "Enter"

Hi Jugren,

i tried for the exit in SMOD but unable to find one.So could you please suggest the exit for this if you have an idea?

Hi Sushanta,

You can create implementation for the BAdI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST. Method CHECK for the check at saving or method PROCESS_ITEM if you merely want to check that the item number doesn't exceed 999 (or 9990).
