  W5085 – Purchase order & & contains no planned services
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message appears when you try to process or confirm a purchase order (PO) that does not contain any planned services. In SAP MM (Materials Management), a purchase order for services typically requires that the services are planned and entered in the PO item details. If the PO items are missing service lines or the planned services are not maintained, the system issues this warning.

  The PO you are working with has no service lines or the service lines are not properly planned/defined, which means there is no service specification for the system to process.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When creating or changing a PO for services but no service lines are entered.
