Hi Srinivas,

Blocking reasons

1. The business can have an absolute control over the sales cycle by setting blocks at different levels like on specific customers, sales documents, delivery and billing. You can define different kinds of block, according to the needs of your organization. You can, for example, automatically block all free of charge deliveries and credit memo requests for a certain customer, pending manual approval before further processing can take place.

2. Transaction code: VD05 u2013 logistics u2013 sales and distribution u2013 master data u2013 business partner u2013 customer u2013 block (vd05)

3. Configuration u2013 IMG u2013 sales and distribution u2013 sales u2013 sales documents u2013 define and assign reasons for blocking (OVAL).

4. In the creation of sales orders/sales documents, you can block the document type from being processed or used by a specific customer either in specific or in all sales areas for various reasons such as poor credit history.

5. Define order blocking reasons, assign them to sales documents, and then assign the order blocking reasons to customers in easy access.

6. In this processu2026..the first step is to define the blocking reasons such as poor credit history, credit limit exceeded or any other reason and give them an order block number.

7. The next step is to assign this order block number to the required sales document types where the configuration part of the blocking sales documents ends.

8. The rest of the process is left to the end user where he/she can use the transaction code VD05 and block a specific customer from using specific or all sales documents either limiting to a specific sales area or for all the sales areas.

9. To set a universal block for a particular sales document for all customers in the sales areas - go to VOV8.

Dear Srinivas

A sale order can be blocked for many reasons. It can be due to

- Overdue payment has exceeded the given time frame

- Customer credit limit has exceeded

- Customer bankruptcy

- Some calamity at delivering region

- Management's discretion

You can see the delivery block at header level in table VBAK - Field Name LIFSK and for billing block, the field name is FAKSK

thanks
