• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_CQTN_CRT_POHUB013 - You cannot put purchase order on hold for limit PR item ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_CQTN_CRT_POHUB013 indicates that you are trying to put a purchase order (PO) on hold for a limit purchase requisition (PR) item, which is not allowed in the system. This typically occurs when the purchase order is linked to a limit item that has specific restrictions regarding its status.
  Cause:
  
  Limit Purchase Requisition: The item in question is a limit item, which means it is associated with a predefined limit for purchasing. Limit items are often used for services or materials where the exact quantity or price is not known at the time of the order.
  System Restrictions: SAP has built-in restrictions that prevent certain actions on limit items, such as putting them on hold. This is to ensure that the purchasing process remains compliant with the defined procurement policies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the Purchase Order: Check the details of the purchase order and confirm whether the item is indeed a limit item. You can do this by reviewing the item category in the purchase order.
  Change Item Status: If you need to put the purchase order on hold, consider changing the item from a limit item to a standard item if that aligns with your procurement process. This may involve creating a new purchase requisition or modifying the existing one.
  Consult with Procurement Team: If you are unsure about the implications of changing the item type or status, consult with your procurement or purchasing team to ensure compliance with company policies.
  Use Alternative Processes: If putting the purchase order on hold is necessary, explore alternative processes that may allow you to manage the order without putting it on hold, such as adjusting delivery dates or modifying quantities.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on purchase requisition and purchase order processing, especially regarding limit items.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as ME21N (Create Purchase Order) and ME52N (Change Purchase Requisition) to manage your procurement documents effectively.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to purchase orders and requisitions, as restrictions may also arise from user roles.
