How to get the nber of POs at the item level?

Question

Hi all,
I am running BI 7 and SRM 5.5. I am using the standard PO History cube.
I have a report where I filter on items values only (no header) since I want to report by - let's say - product category.
In my char part, I will have: Date | product category
In the KF part, I have: Ordered Amount | Nber of POs
In the flow, PO amount is stored at the item level while the nber of POs is stored at the header level. By running the report, I get the ordered amount information but 0 for the nber of POs.
How could I get the "Nber of POs" information in my case? Maybe it is not that easy (looking the following example).
PO1 - Item 10 - Product Category A
PO1 - Item 20 - Product Category B
PO1 - Item 30 - Product Category C
PO2 - Item 10 - Product Category D
PO2 - Item 20 - Product Category A
PO2 - Item 30 - Product Category A
Here I would be happy to have:
Date | Product Category A | Amount | 2 (PO1-PC A + PO2-PC A)
(but how BI knows that we are dealing with 2 POs?)
Thanks in advance - chris

Hi
Check whether counter infoobject Number of items is availbale in MCEKPO ,if so just drag into left side and do this enhancement for 2LIS_02_ITM.
Create  a number of item field in the cube and update with value 1 referring the Item number
In query it may reduce query runtime performance
This will just update 1 for every instance of item and you can aggregate them in your query whatever level you require
