Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MM_PUR_SES029 - Purchase order items with multiple account assignment are not supported. ?

  The SAP error message MM_PUR_SES029 indicates that you are trying to create or process a purchase order (PO) that contains items with multiple account assignments, which is not supported in the current context. This typically occurs when you attempt to assign multiple cost centers, internal orders, or other account assignment objects to a single line item in a purchase order.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Account Assignments: The purchase order item is configured to have multiple account assignments (e.g., cost center, internal order, etc.), but the system does not support this for the type of purchase order you are trying to create or modify.
  PO Type Restrictions: Certain purchase order types (like standard POs) may not allow multiple account assignments.
  Configuration Issues: The system may not be configured to handle multiple account assignments for the specific purchasing scenario you are working with.
  
  Solution:
  
  Single Account Assignment: Modify the purchase order item to have a single account assignment. This means you should assign only one cost center or internal order to the item.
  Split the PO Items: If you need to allocate costs to multiple account assignments, consider splitting the items into separate purchase order lines, each with its own account assignment.
  Check PO Type: Ensure that you are using the correct purchase order type that supports your requirements. If you need multiple account assignments, you may need to use a different type of PO that allows this.
  Consult Configuration: If you believe that multiple account assignments should be supported, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to account assignments in purchasing documents.
