dear all,

we have a process in sales ,that we create scheduling agreement or sales order .It will have to be released by 4 different people with different levels .Once released documents should not be modified by anyone except amendment procedure.

Pls suggest as to how to achieve this ...

Hi You can try authorisation profiles with BS02 Status Profile in sales documents

Use IMG-Sales and distribution-Sales-Sales documents-Define and assign status profile.

Dear shankar ,

This can be achieved by putting shipping block - 4 no.s and control through user exit , one by one with authorisation object in - MV45AFZZ .

Means, shipping block1 will be defaulted while creating order itself , it can be removed by some authorisation group and while removing shipping block1 , next shipping block2 will be triggered ( need to write in user exit ) ... etc.

This release procedure is not available in SAP for sales .

you can create Z*tcodes for this, for 4 diff ppl or levels

maintain the delivery block in sales order ( which will trigger directly from sales doc type)

in create sales order - made this "display mode"- by using transaction variant.

Now create

Z*

Tcode- ZLVL-1 -

a-Waiting for approval

b-approved level-1 - in this level, he can access only these 2 fields either a or b.

Tcode: ZLVL-2

c-approved level-2

similarly next 2 levels.

d- approved level-3

e-approved level-4

Give tcode authorization only for respective levels-

eg:level 1- ZLVL-1 n so on,

Now in sales order , userexit, write a logic

if the "delivery block " - approved Level-4 (E),

then , allow to save the sales order

or else trigger error mssg as " Not yet approved, cant save the document"-

hope it helps, without development i dont think its possible.
