• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MM_PUR_SES115 - Service products are not allowed for purchase order items with limit. ?

  The SAP error message MM_PUR_SES115 indicates that service products are not allowed for purchase order items that have a limit. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or process a purchase order (PO) for a service that is defined with a limit, but the system does not permit this configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Service Product Configuration: The service product you are trying to purchase is configured in a way that it cannot be associated with a limit in the purchase order.
  Purchase Order Item Type: The item type in the purchase order may not support services with limits. In SAP, certain item categories are designated for specific types of procurement (e.g., standard, service, subcontracting).
  Master Data Issues: The material master or service master data may not be set up correctly, leading to this restriction.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Item Category: Ensure that the item category used in the purchase order is appropriate for services. For service procurement, you typically use item categories like "D" (service) or "B" (service with limit).
  Review Service Master Data: Verify the configuration of the service master record. Ensure that it is set up correctly and that it allows for the intended purchasing scenarios.
  Change Purchase Order Configuration: If the service is intended to be purchased with a limit, consider changing the configuration of the purchase order item to allow for this. This may involve changing the item category or adjusting the settings in the purchasing view of the material/service master.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team to understand the specific configurations and restrictions related to service procurement in your system.
  Use a Different Item Type: If the service cannot be purchased with a limit, consider using a different procurement method or item type that allows for the purchase of services without limits.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on service procurement configurations.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes such as ME21N (Create Purchase Order), ME22N (Change Purchase Order), and ME23N (Display Purchase Order) to troubleshoot and modify purchase orders.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to create or modify purchase orders, as restrictions may also stem from user roles.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP MM (Materials Management) for further assistance.
