  Purchase order (&1/&2) successfully generated for additional &3
  
  1. Cause:
  This message is an informational message (not an error) generated during the Goods Receipt or Invoice Verification process in SAP Warehouse Management (WM) or Materials Management (MM) when an additional purchase order is created automatically.
  
  The system has generated a new purchase order (PO) with number &1 and item &2 to cover an additional quantity &3 that was not originally included in the initial PO.
  This typically happens when the quantity received or invoiced exceeds the quantity ordered, and the system is configured to automatically create an additional PO to cover the excess quantity.
  
  
  2. Solution:
  Since this is an informational message indicating successful creation of an additional PO, no corrective action is required unless this behavior is unexpected.
  If this behavior is unexpected or undesired:
  
  Check configuration settings related to automatic PO creation for additional quantities:
  
  In MM, check the tolerance limits for over-delivery.
  In WM, check the settings for handling excess quantities.
  
  
  Review business process: Confirm if the automatic creation of additional POs aligns with your procurement and inventory policies.
  Adjust settings if necessary to prevent automatic PO creation or to handle excess quantities differently.
