How do we export a Purchase Order (PO) with Split By Amount accounting to SAP?

To export a PO with accounting type as Split By Amount to SAP, the parameter Application.Procure.AllowSAPSplitByAmountInPOExport needs to be enabled.

To support the functionality, changes have been made to the Purchase Order, Change Purchase Order, and Invoice Integration events. Please download and import the necessary mapping changes in the SAP Process Integration and transport requests within the SAP ERP.

You can have your Designated Support Contact (DSC) contact SAP Ariba Customer Support to enable the parameter.

If the parameter is not enabled, the Ariba system will convert the Split By Amount to Percentage and then send the values to the ERP. This can also lead to the error Error Message = Sum of percentages >99,9< smaller than 100 % from the ERP.

Ariba indicates the type of Split Accounting used in the PR through the SAPDistribution flag within the cXML.

1. SAPDistributionFlag =1 - Split by Quantity
2. SAPDistributionFlag =2 - Split by Percentage
3. SAPDistributionFlag =3 - Split by Amount
