delivery problem

[cathy_liang]

Hi experts, pls help. Thx.

System pops up "Sales order stock xx does not exist. Message no. M7184" when creating delivery (VL01n). But the stock is sufficient (unrestricted used) for the specifice plant & storage location.

Hi there,

To post sales order based stock in plant + storage location use (movement type) MT 561 with special stock E. Only then stock will post into sales order stock. Else it will post into unrestricted stock.

Hi Cathy,

Sales Order Stock are stock with Special Stock type E. It can fall into the usual stock categories such as unrestricted, blocked etc. but "belongs" to a sales order. For example, you create a sales order for a part and assign a sales item category that generates an individual requisition, the requirement has an account assignment linking it to the sales order schedule line, you convert that requisition to a Purchase Order.

When you receive the Purchase Order, the stock is placed in sales order stock. It will show against the sales order/sales order line. It can only be delivered against that sales order line. Any availability check etc for that material on any other sales order will not take it into account as it is not available except to the sales order line the stock is assigned to.

Nagendra
