Item type in SRM PO is getting changed from Material to service

[former_member517068]

There is a contract created with item type service. User created SC and subsequently PO against that contract with item type material. System allowed it to order without any issue.

Now user is modifying the PO to select "Confirmation based invoice" option in SRM and system is converting item type Material to Service and resulting in Back-end error:Buffer table not up to date.

Dear Customer,

When Create service PO , the GR_BASED IV is mandatory.

As mentioned in the note, below, when create PO from contract the item type should be Identical.

2108014 - Product type not replicated to PO when adding contract item

Hi Summer ,

Thanks for the response. Can you please tell why would system change item type of PO from Material to Service while modifying it. If this is standard behavior then why system did not change it to service during SC creation itself.
