Braincracking problem: some orders receive an additional line item.

[nickenator1985]

Hello,

In several PO's we have a strange thing happening:
In some cases an additional line item gets added with a pallet. This is not unwanted, but nobody here has a clue how these get added.

The problem is that the pallet (=article) gets added to the order, but this pallet has a setting wrong so we manually have to edit this in the PO. Normally we can fix this in the info-record to prevent it in the future, but because these are auto generated, there is no info-record.

I tried looking for cross-sale references but no table showed up with anything, nor did I see a correlation between either the suppliers or the articles used.

Is there anybody here that has a clue where this might be done or where I might find a clue?

About which purchasing system are you talking, are you in ERP or with a SRM system, and why is this question posted with a SD tag? Where has this question a relevance to SD?

I'm equally confused. Also it doesn't look like standard functionality, so why don't you reach out to an ABAPer locally and ask them to check where this is coming from? There are tools available.

Hi Nick

Can you please provide more information on how these are auto-generated? What is generating them - a custom program or standard SAP process? If you can provide some more info that would be great.

thanks

Hi Nick,

There is one possibility I see that might be used here. Since it is a pallet, it seems you are using Empties Management. In that case the returnable packaging is entered as an extra line in the PO. Is that the case?
