Overview of purchase order commingling

You can commingle purchase orders that have the following origins:

Commingling conditions

Before you can commingle purchase orders, the following must be applicable:

  • In the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session, the For Commingling check box is selected for the item and business partner entered on the order line.
