Limit PO - No Custom Field Transfer to Backend

Hi all,

I created a custom field on SRM for shopping carts and also for POs on item level. The custom field is populated on SRM with workflow data and is transported to backend via BAPI_PO_CREATE1.

It works fine for normal POs, but for limit POs the custom filed is missing.

I used fbgendat in order to know whether the value has been transported to backend or not.

So I realized that there is a difference between a normal PO and a limit PO.

The difference is a missing structure for limit POs.

The BAPI table EXTENSIONIN contains 4 entries for normal POs (BAPI_TE_MEPOHEADER(X) and BAPI_TE_MEPOITEM(X)) and only the header entries exist for limit POs. The custom field is on item level and therefore it is missing here.

I wonder know, why those entries are missing for limit POs.

So the question is not regarding the transport of custom fields in general but why it is working for normal POs, but not for limit POs.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance and Kind Regards

Björn
