material inactive

[former_member605601]

Please advise how to make a material inactive for new customer orders.

We stopped producing this material two years ago. There is still a small amount of inventory on hand which weu2019re trying to sell off, but in the meantime we cannot accept any new customer orders.

The end users donu2019t always know whether a material is inactive u2013 we need a system message or status message to prevent end users accepting customer orders

Dear Amarnath

Go to OVSU, select "01" and click on blue lens on top so that you will see some list of tabs. In that maintain B in Block for order field and save.

Now go to material master Sales: sales org.1 tab and assign 01 for the field X-distr.chain status. By doing so, for that particular material, sale order cannot be created from any sales area.

thanks
