Allocation: Aggregation of Line Items in a Worklist
Use
You can aggregate the line items of a worklist consisting of items from different allocation tables in the one follow-on document.
Prerequisites
In Customizing for item categories of allocation tables, you can configure the system so that aggregation is allowed for vendor purchase orders and warehouse orders. The PO line items must have the same order criteria, including:
Deliveries are not aggregated in the same way as purchase orders in Customizing. These are aggregated automatically (for all allocation table items and allocation tables) in the background. All delivery items that have the same shipping point are aggregated.
A separate record is generated in the worklist for every schedule line in a delivery phase of a site. All the line items in a delivery phase can be aggregated to the one follow-on document in one generation run if they are all selected. The system generates one document item with a number of schedule lines for these line items. You can also create a document for each schedule line if these are selected and generated separately.
Order or delivery line items that originate from different allocation tables are not aggregated into one item, as it would no longer be possible in the purchase order/delivery view to determine the allocation table that triggered the follow-on document.
