Copying the item text in case of multiple line items

Question

Hi All,
                I have a scenario where the sales order gets created in our SAP through a 850 idoc. The incoming idoc has only one item segment which carries the total order quantity ( for example say 1000). Since my company has contractual agreements with the end customer for doing multiple shipments , our sales department splits the total quantity into multiple line items in the sales order. Say splitting the 1000 quantities into 5 line items of 200 each.
The problem here is that when the sales order got created , all  the related item text were copied only to the first line item ( of 1000 qty) and which is standard SAP. Since the order quantity was manually split, the related item text are not carried to the subsequent line items. The issue comes when an outbound (810) idoc is sent to customer . As I told earlier since only the first line item has the item text , the 810 idoc which was created for  the first line item only has the item text . The rest of the 810 which were subsequently created for multiple shipments/invoices on different dates didn't have the item text in the 810's. This is becoming a major problem as the 810 files are failing at our trading partners end because of missing text.
Now my question is, Is there a way that I can make the item text copy automatically when multiple line items are created manually by business. Like is there a way where I can modify MV45AFZZ  to copy the item text in their respective segemnts ( z003,z004 etc) to "N" number of line items.
Also please suggest if there is a better way of doing it. Suggstions are most welcome !!!.

Hi,
First of all try to avoid doing select into corresponding fields. THis would improve the performance of the program.
Try to do a single fetch from the BSIS table . fetch the hkont, belnr, dmbtr fields in to a master internal table. Manipulate and play with the data as required.  Don't hit the data base table more than once (unless it is required) . This would improve the performance of your code.
Try to code this way.
types: begin of ty_bsis,
             hkont type hkont,
             belnr type  belnr_d,
             dmbtr type dmbtr,
          end of ty_bsis.
data: it_bsis type standard table of ty_bsis,
         wa_bsis type ty_bsis,
select hkont belnr dmbtr
          from bsis
          into table it_bsis
          WHERE HKONT IN S_RACCT
        AND PRCTR IN P_PRCTR
          AND MONAT IN S_POPER
         AND BUKRS EQ P_BUKRS
         AND GJAHR EQ P_GJAHR
          AND PRCTR IN S_PRCTR.
Using the data availabe in the it_bsis, you can manipulate as required.
Hope this would be helpful
