Orders that are Planned by APO and are not yet in R3 System have the Numbers APO-xx (APO-1, APO-2, APO-3 ... etc.) and these are not a Permanent number but dynamically assigned when you go into Interactive Planning or RRP3 for Orders that are not yet Published into R3. So many Products can have the same number since it is dynamically generated.
When the Orders are Published and sent to R3 via Ques, R3 generates an Order Number which replaces the APO-xx number in APO.
From SCM 4.1 or 5.0 ... we have the option of configuring in APO an Internal Number Range for the PRs ... which gives the APO generated Orders and Internal Number that does not duplicate across Products, since it is no more Dynamically generated. It is replaced by a R3 order number when the order is succesfully sent to R3.
You can delete the APO-xx Orders via /sapapo/rlcdel transaction in APO. In this you need to select the 'APO Only' option in RLCDEL.
Hope this helps. Reward Points if it does.
