  Error Message
  WG217: Purchase orders were bundled under number &
  
  Cause
  This message appears during the purchase order (PO) processing in SAP, specifically when purchase orders are grouped or bundled together for further processing, such as printing, output, or transmission.
  
  The system bundles multiple purchase orders into a single group or batch to optimize output processing.
  The message informs the user that the purchase orders have been successfully bundled under a specific bundle number (the placeholder "&" is replaced by the actual bundle number).
  This is not an error but an informational message indicating that the bundling process has taken place.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During PO output processing (e.g., printing, faxing, emailing).
  When multiple POs are selected and the system groups them to be processed together.
  In transaction codes like ME9F (Message Output: Purchase Orders) or similar output management transactions.
  
  
  Solution / Action
  
  Since this is an informational message, no corrective action is required.
  You can proceed with the next steps in your PO processing or output handling.
  If you want to see the bundled POs, you can check the bundle number mentioned in the message.
  If you want to avoid bundling, you can adjust the output settings or selection criteria to process POs individually.
