sales order closing

[Former Member]

Dear all,

We have run a complete cycle - order-delivery-billing.

In SAP even after completing the whole cycle, we can still add more line items in the same order.

Is there any method by which we can stop adding more materials/line items in an order for which the complete cycle has been run once?

thanks

Hi

There are two things in it

Sales order no 1000 -

---

delivered-billed-payment has come

Case 1

User goes to VA02 mode input the sales order no 1000 and changes the qty of the items

Suppose the order is for material X is 10 units if the user wants to change it to 12

By this he opens the sales order no 1000 once again

This can be controlled by OVAH tcode message class V4 message no 083 also you can use V4 message no 096

Change it from warning to error thro customizing

Case 2

User goes to VA02 mode adds another material material Y along with material X

By this he opens up the sales order no 1000 once again

This is to be controlled thro userexit

Yes in standard, you can add as many item as you can even the whole order is completed. This provision is given due to the fact that even before you despatch the goods, customer may ask the supplier to add some items in their existing order. If you want to control this, you can try with your existing routine or sale order user exit.

Hello Friend,

What will be the problem if it allows you to add more line items even after completing the cycle.As you wont be able to do anything with those new materials. Try to do the delivery you will get the Error Message "Sales Order completely shipped, cannot change sales order". So it wont have affect anywhere.

Dear Sunil

But after adding one item the order status changes to "being processed" i.e. open.

Now it will allow to create delivery

thanks
