Split a PO position

Split a Purchase Order (PO) position into two separate PO positions. The new PO position contains the same material, related attachments, technical material requisition information, and request for quote information as the original PO position. Initially, the required quantity for the new PO position is set to 0. You can manually distribute the required quantity between the two PO positions.

You can split a PO position when a part of the material quantity requires different handling. For example, if one supplier cannot deliver the full quantity or meet the delivery deadline, you can split the PO position into two: one position for the quantity delivered by the original supplier and another position for the quantity delivered by a different supplier.
