System creates multiple Purchase orders instead of single Purchase Orders through Purchase Request Bundle and Order.

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to Purchase Requests and Orders work center.
2. Go to Purchase Requests view.
3. Show All Purchase Requests.
4. Search and Select all the required Purchase Requests.
5. Choose Bundle and Order and Select criteria: By Supplier, Delivery Date, Ship-To.

System creates more Purchase Orders than the expected number of Purchase Orders.

• When using the bundling criterion “By Supplier, Delivery Date, Ship-To”, the system evaluates all three fields for grouping.
• If Ship-To location is maintained, the Supplier and Delivery Date matches across all items, purchase requests are bundled into one purchase order.
• If Ship-To is not maintained, the system checks Site. If Site is maintained and identical across items, items are bundled into one purchase order. If Sites differ, separate purchase orders are created per Site grouping.
• If neither Ship-To nor Site is maintained, the delivery address is not considered for grouping; the system creates one purchase order per purchase request item.

1. Maintain the Ship-To location on purchase request items when using the “By Supplier, Delivery Date, Ship-To” bundling criterion to enable grouping.
2. If Ship-To cannot be maintained, ensure the Site is maintained and identical for the items to be grouped.
3. Alternatively, use a different bundling criterion that does not require Ship-To, for example “By Supplier”, “By Supplier, Delivery Date”, or “By Supplier, Delivery Date, Recipient”, which can bundle items into a single purchase order when other grouping fields match.
