3731350 - Extra Account Assignment line shows with both Cost Center and WBS fields open in Manage Purchase Orders app

While creating a Purchase Order with Limit Items, two lines appear in the Account Assignment tab even when a single account assignment category (e.g., K – Cost Center) is selected. Expectation is that-

• Only one line should appear, corresponding to the chosen Account Assignment category (K or P).
• If K is selected, only the Cost Center field should be open for input.
• If P is selected, only the WBS field should be open for input.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Create a Purchase Order with limit items.
2. Fill all required header fields.
3. Set the Account Assignment Category to K (Cost Centre).
4. Navigate to the Account Assignment tab.
5. Observe that two lines are displayed and the second line has both cost center and WBS fields open for input.

This is related to the internal handling of account assignment for limit items and may appear as a system/UI inconsistency rather than a documented standard feature.

1. Maintain values only in the relevant line based on the selected account assignment category.
2. For K (Cost Center), enter the cost center in the appropriate line.
3. For P (WBS Element), enter the WBS element in the appropriate line.
4. Ignore the additional line if it is not required for the business scenario.
5. Ensure that only the intended account assignment is populated before saving the purchase order.
6. Note: Transaction processing is not blocked by the extra line; the behavior has been reported to development.
