Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_SPROC008 - Purchase order contains a limit item and will be opened in display mode. ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_SPROC008 indicates that a purchase order (PO) contains a limit item, which means that the PO is set up to allow for a maximum limit on the amount that can be spent, rather than a specific quantity of goods or services. As a result, the system opens the purchase order in display mode instead of allowing modifications.
  Cause:
  
  Limit Item: The purchase order includes at least one limit item, which is typically used for services or contracts where the total amount is capped.
  System Configuration: The system is configured to restrict changes to purchase orders with limit items to prevent unauthorized modifications.
  
  Solution:
  
  Display Mode: If you need to view the details of the purchase order, you can do so in display mode. However, if you need to make changes, you will need to follow specific procedures.
  Change the PO: If you need to modify the purchase order:
  
  Check Authorization: Ensure you have the necessary permissions to change limit items.
  Use the Correct Transaction: If you need to change the limit item, you may need to use a specific transaction code (like ME22N) to edit the PO, but be aware that changes to limit items may be restricted.
  Create a New PO: If changes are not allowed, consider creating a new purchase order without limit items or with the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  Consult with Procurement: If you are unsure about the process or need to make significant changes, consult with your procurement or purchasing department for guidance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Limit Items: These are typically used for service contracts or agreements where the total amount is not predetermined.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more details on handling limit items and purchase orders.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that your user role has the appropriate authorizations to modify purchase orders, especially those with limit items.
