Net price field length limitation in purchase order

Hi
The maximum net price PO line item accepts is 999999999.99.
If in given scenario, it is not possible to break the line into multiple lines nor possible to use alternate units, what are the solutions available?
How to handle similar situation in services?
Appreciate any guidance on this.
Thanks
Sriram

I have two business cases that my clients is facing right now.
1) Capital increase (Actual)
Due to the World financial crisis my clients like many other issues had a capital increase transactions done thoriugh issuing bonds. The client has a policy no PO no PAY and this is enforced 100% in this case they needed one SAP PO recorded covering a large amount Amount was in THB and exceeded the unit price field limitation.
Work around was to make the PO line item 2 x YYYYYYYYYY
2) Purchase of a vessel (Will happen in the future)
This is a transaction with 1 x YYYYYYYYYYYYYY large amount which again exceeds the limitation.
Despite workarounds are available like increasing the quantity, using different currency.. the client is till questioning the limitation that SAP have.

How to make net price field in Purchase Order Uneditable

Hello all,
I am facing a problem. During creation of purchase orders the material price is picked up from the Info Record, but the net price field is editable. Please guide me how through standard SAP can i make this net price field uneditable.
Thanks in Advance,
Ritesh.

Hi Ritesh,
You can goto:
SPRO-MM-Purchasing-Purchase Order-Define Screen Layout at Document Level
from here you select ME21N-Selection group-Quantity and Price.
Make the price and price unit as DISPLAY.
By this it will show only display for price, but you have to take not that there is also condition tab which user can change the price, this price is from INFOREC.
Goto to M/06 select your Condition type, In Manual entries maintain "D"-Not possible to process manually

Massage No. 06217-Overflow for net price field during conversions

Can anybody tell me the S note for the error?
"Massage No. 06217-Overflow for net price field during conversions"
There is a S note in OSS ( 576188) which is Obsolete now. I would like to have the correct S note to apply.

Hi,
SAP doesn't support item prices larger than 999.999.999,99. This is a limit of the system.
The field has a length of 11 and output length of 16 for the commas and dots. Therefore, values entered in that field cannot exceed the total length of the field.
Increasing the field length of the field is challenging. This would
cause inconsistencies in the existing dataset and more problems in
in Finance modules.
You have to look for possible workarounds to resolve this. You may
choose to split the documents, line items or quantities - what suits
your business requirements best.
You may choose to:
1. Split the line items.
   This is applicable when your company wants to procure 1 single item
   with say 1 Billion value.
   for example:
   Qty Unit       Net price
   1    EA          1,000,000,000.00
This may be cost of one machine or asset.
You may split this into accessories or mountings used for this as
separate line items, so that the cost of the line item will be less
than 1 Billion.
2. Splitting the quantities,
   This is appliable when you are procuring more quantities with higher
   value items.
   For example:
   QTy        Unit        Net price
   1000000      EA          100000.00
You may split this quantity into 250000 EA * 4 = 1000000. With this
you may consider having four line items in the same PO or 4 differant
PO's.
3. Consider using pricing unit.
   If you use currencies in which higher values become necessary, SAP
   recommends to use smaller units of measure (for example "box"
   "pallet").
   For Example:
   Qty        Unit          Net price
   1        Pallet         1000000000.00
In this case you may split this into Boxes. May be the Pallet contains
more than 1 boxes. The net price of the box will be less than
the Pallet.
If your prices is not larger than 999.999.999,99 then please open a ticket in SAP, as this would be a bug and you would need a correction, that at the moment does not exist.

Make net price field in me12 modifiable.

How to make net price field in me12 modifiable.
I have screen Layout & Screen variant but didnt get any clue.

the net price is a calculated field in case you maintained price conditions (big button on top of the screen), then it is not changable anymore.
the net price is just information for the user, it is not taken as price to a PO if no condition exists.

Item number field length limitation?

A non-SAP client is presenting a business proposal to a SAP customer and what they want to know is what is the limitation on Item numbers for products for a manufacturing company running SAP ERP? No, we cannot ask the customer, yet!
I know the SAP is highly customizable but is there a field length limitation or anything else you can tell me?
Many thanks!

Getting Price from KONV table for Purchase Order

Hi All,
I have to use the KONV table to get the Net Price for the Purchase Order Line Item. I am confused over the field KONV-KBETR because for Currency 'JPY' it shown a wrong figure. This is how I read the KONV table;
SELECT SINGLE KBETR
INTO ITAB-KBETR
FROM KONV
WHERE KNUMV = EKKO-KNUMV and
      KPOSN = EKPO-EBELP and
      KSCHL IN ('PBXX', 'PB00').
The Correct figure should be 3,000 but it shows 30. For all other currencies it works fine. What should I do to arrive at 3,000 simply I could always multiply KONV-KBETR by 100. But this would affect for other currencies.
Thanks,
Kishan

hi sri , check this
SELECT SINGLE kbetr INTO i_konpc-kbetr
         FROM konp
         WHERE knumh EQ -knumh AND
               kappl EQ -kappl AND
               kschl EQ -kschl AND
               loevm_ko NE 'X'.
remember in pricing u need to exclude the deleted line items ..
loevm_ko ne 'X' this is very important ..
may be u need put a converting factor for JPN

How to change a condition price in line service of Purchase Order

People,
we have to do the following development in Purchase Order (ME21N, ME22N, ME23N) :
We have a developed screen in Purchase Order header, where the user provides some information. As a result, this information must be transfered to line service, under a certain condition price. Is it possible? I checked we can "put" the value using a field symbol to (SAPLMLSP)TKOMV[] internal table.
But I believe this is not the best option. Do you have an idea?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I can see you have couple of posts regarding Service Line Condition Price. Did you find a way to change them?
I'm currently facing similar situation, and still debugging to find out possible solutions.
Thanks,

PTP - Change to stock type field status configuration in Purchase Order

When creating or changing a PO for direct material - or even during goods receipt, the stock type field which by default is "X - Quality Inspection" can be changed to "Unrestricted Use" by the purchasing personnel. This is not in line with QA requirements where the change from QI to Unrestricted use can only be done by QA personnel.
Need to configure the system not to allow purchasing personnel to change the status.
Please tell me where i need to configure the above requirement.
Regards
Sreekanth

HI,
You will need to change screen layout at document level in ME21N and ME22N. Follow below steps
SPRO -> Mateial Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Define Screen Layout at Document levle -> ME21N -> Look for Quality Inspection (I believe this is the field, I did not test it) and make it Display only. By default it comes as Optional entry.

Price Determination (Pricing) Date Control - Purchase Order

Hi,
We are exploring the Price Determination (Pricing) Date Control in the Purchase Order.
Clientu2019s requiring is, correct me if it is a wrong requirement:
We have created Tax Codes:
C2 - CST 2% valid from 01.04.2010
C3 - CST 3% valid from 01.04.2010
We have created a purchase order with Tax Code C2 - CST 2% on 30.03.2010 as we are in doing back log entries. Since the tax code is valid from 01.04.2010 only , the purchase order is not displaying the Tax Code Value .
Now we are doing the Goods Receipt on 01.04.2010, the system will not pass the entry for the CST as at time of GR, the System picks up the Tax data from the Purchase Order.
Now we want that the System should pick up the Data at the Goods Receipt, not from the Purchase Order. Some one advised me to use put GR Date in Pr. Date Cat. Under Item-> Condition Control tab. We are able to view the Pr. Date Cat by changing the Screen Layout of ME21N.
We want to know what use of the same & under what condition is, we use this.
Our suggestion:
1. We are of the view that we should create the Tax Codes with Valid Date from 01.01.2010 (not from 01.04.2010 as currently maintained)
2. Or since we are doing the back log entry, we should create all the Open Purchase Orders dated 01.04.2010.
Is this the correct way which we are suggesting?
Please note that we are dealing with Excise Materials also?
Please guide.

Thanks for the reply,
While testing the same, I also encountered the somewhat same problem.
You are suggesting that we should change the Tax Code Valid From Date.
What do mean by the follwoing:
Pricing date category "GR date" can't be set in PO if price is entered manually (with condition type PBXX). This also means manually entered conditions at Po will not be used.
