    Do not split collective purchase orders and allocation table POs
    
    Cause
    The error WG416 occurs when the system detects an attempt to split a collective purchase order or a purchase order created from an allocation table during a process that involves splitting purchase orders (e.g., delivery creation, goods receipt, or invoice verification).
    
    Collective Purchase Orders are special POs that group multiple purchase requisitions or purchase orders into one document for processing efficiency.
    Allocation Table POs are purchase orders created based on allocation tables, which are used to distribute quantities or values across multiple POs or deliveries.
    
    SAP does not allow splitting these types of purchase orders because splitting them could lead to inconsistencies in allocation, delivery, or invoicing processes.
    
    When does this error typically occur?
    
    During delivery creation or goods receipt when the system tries to split the PO items into multiple deliveries.
    During invoice
