Hi Krishna,

Today I checked and found that there is a flag in the order type configuration, if you set that system will ensure that same po number can not be used again for other sales orders.

I hope this solves your problem.

Hi, Krishna!

For ALE scenario you can use customer exit EXIT_SAPLVEDA_009 from SAP-extension VEDA0001 for final individual checks.

Hi Krishna,

This has got nothing to do with ALE, standard SAP allows you to create Sales Order with reference to same Purchase Order as many times as you want. you should keep this out of the scope of ALE configuration.

If you do want this functionality you will need to enhance VA01 to include this additional check, I will suggest you check combination of SOLD-TO-PARTY and Purchase Order number as you can not ensure that only Purchase Order number will be unique for all customers you are dealing with.
