Changing default plant in third party sales order

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

Kindly help me understand the reason.

I have created a 3rd party sales order for service material.It is determining plant SCB1 when there are three plants active in the sales organisation SC00. The shipping point for SCB1 is SC01 (as it is for plant SC01).

The business issue was that the default plant was SCB1 when the business did not expect this. SCB1 is specified as a u201CBondedu201D plant and therefore tax determination for sales from this plant were incorrect for the order that was raised. Plant SCB1 does need to be an able to be chosen in sales orders from Sales Org SC00 but we wanted to know why SCB1 has defaulted into the order.

Many Thanks

Dear Choudry

Plant is being determined on the basis of these parameters

1. Customer Material info Record ( CMIR)

2. Material Master Record ( MMR )

3. Customer Master Record (CMR )

So please check your settings in these records.Also check whether the Sales area and plant maintained in these records are same as in Sales order.

Thanks

Thank You Sushant.

If there are different plants maintained for three master records .ie customer\material\CMIR, which plant would be defaulted when creating the sales order and how\where can we control if we need a value to be defaulted for the plant when creating a sales order.

Many Thanks

Hi

Plant will always be determined at item level for sales order

In the overview screen you cannot see it and in item details in the shipping tab only you can see plant been determined

First priority for CMIR,then CMR,and third in MMR

If three different values are maintained in all these three then CMIR will be defaulted first and the CMR and MMR

Note you can manually change or give a new plant apart from all these three and manual entries gets the first preference provided you maintain material in that plant and necessary shipping pt and other assignments are pakka
