3806731 - Sales Order Line Item Limit (Maximum Number of Items per Sales Order)

Symptom

  • The maximum number of line items supported in a sales order needs to be determined.
  • The system does not allow the creation of a sales order with more than 999 line items.
  • No error message is displayed when the number of line items exceeds 999.

Environment

S/4HANA Public Cloud Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a sales order.
  2. Attempt to add more than 999 line items to the sales order.
  3. Observe that the system does not allow more than 999 line items to be added, and no error message is displayed.

Cause

Standard system behavior: A sales order supports a maximum of 999 line items per document.

Resolution

  1. Ensure that the sales order contains no more than 999 line items, as this is the standard system limit per document.
  2. If more than 999 line items are required, split the items across multiple sales orders.
  3. Avoid creating very large sales orders, as they may cause issues during output processing and when canceling the documents.
