1. Go to Business Configuration work center.
2. Go to Overview view and select the activity Migration of Purchase Orders.
3. Migrate purchase order using the migration tool.
4. Open the migrated purchase order and navigate to item tab, the product ID is missing.

You can migrate the following item types only: Material, Service, and Expense. Migration of purchase order limit items is not supported.

However the Item Type Column Text Label in migration template "Enter 1 (for material), 2 (for service), 3 (for expense) or 4 (for Limit). Other values are not supported." has been used by both purchase order migration template and purchase order extraction template. The change of this text label cannot be done alone for migration template.

If there are purchase order limit items in the legacy system that are not closed yet, proceed as follows:

• For goods receipts that have already been posted in the legacy system, you can post incoming invoices in your SAP solution with reference to a purchase order that does not exist in the solution as described under Use Cases for the Remaining Quantities Approach, Complete Goods Receipt and no Supplier Invoices.
• If there are further goods receipts with reference to the purchase order limit item of the legacy system, you have to create a new purchase order for the open limit in your SAP solution.
