Purchase Requisition to Purchase Order Conversion - Help.

Question

Hi Experts
Can anyone help mw with the following issue.
We have just starting testing MRP and are looking to covert the purchase req's that have been generated into purchase orders.
I've taken one material by a single vendor as my test subject.
We are using ME57 to assign and process the requisitions.
This then gives me a list of all the purchase reqs and quantities.
I select Assignments -> Process Assignments.
I'm then in "Create PO" (ME21N) with a list of all my Purchase Reqs in the document view.
I then select the req's one by one and drag then into the basket, this then adds an item line to the PO.  Pretty standard stuff!
As all the materials are the same I end up with 30 individual items lines for the same material.
Each line for 1 Pallet - Total PO size is for 30 Pallets.
What we would like is for the item line to increase by one pallet.
This would give us a Purchase Order with ONE item line for the material with a qty of 30 Pallets.
I hope the above makes sense and someone can help
Thanks in adavance
Chris

At this moment you have to change a little bit your approach.
you drag and drop only the first requisition into known basket at the top of the PO.
then you open the item details view and go to the scheduling tab
you will see there another basket.
drag and drop the other 29 requisition into this basket.
