Material listing does not work ( but the material exclusion does work )

[Former Member]

Let's make some notation ant then ask my question :

-

---

let's say :

i have a customer with SAP code : 100

and 2 materials with SAP code 200 and 201

i am trying to create an order ( VA01 ) type SAU on date 14.08.2009

in OV04 i have :

SAU Standard Order A00001 Listing B00001 Exclusion

in VB03 with List/excl. A001 i can see:

Customer Material Valid on Valid to

100 200 14.07.2009 31.12.9999

-

---

I EXPECT TO GET AN ERROR MESSAGE when i try to create an order with the material 201 and customer 100

BUT I DO NOT GET ANY MESSAGE WHY ?

What am i doing wrong ?

Note: if i add an exclusion condition for material 201 it works but why doesn't it work only with listing ?

Hi

When you are mainting listing for materials....are you able to create a sales order for that customer with a material that is not listed? My memory says, when few materials are listed, by default the other materials are considered as excluded. I believe it is correct but not sure.

Hi Ravi

Yes am able to create a sales order for that customer with a material that ARE NOT LISTED that is my problem ... because i shouldn't be able.

Cristian,

You have answered this question yourself.... And as per my understanding there is no error in any configuration.

The listing record contains material 200 for customer, but material 201 is not there in exclusion. So in this case for that customer material 201 is neither in listing nor in exclusion and its in unrestricted, so the customer can buy that material.

SAP gives priority to Exclusion list always, So when you include this material in exclusion list that is automatically excluded for that customer.

Ok i thought that :

IF I ADD A MATERIAL TO A A001 LISTING than that customer will be allowed to buy ONLY THE MATERIALS that are on that list.

But now i see that it can buy other materials that are not on the A001 LISTING.

Also after doing some testing i see that other customers ( other that customer 100 ) can buy materials that are on A001 LISTING.

so ... everyone can buy materials regardless of the A001 LISTING.

If i add a material on a A001 LISTING i do not have any restrictions in the system - anyone can buy those materials.

What is the use of A001 LISTING ? because now i see that it has no effect

Hi,

I have to correct below points, I guess my example in previous reply was not up to the mark.

> IF I ADD A MATERIAL TO A A001 LISTING than that customer will be allowed to buy ONLY THE MATERIALS that are on that list.

> But now i see that it can buy other materials that are not on the A001 LISTING.

The system should not allow you to enter the other material which are not on listing of materials. As per standard. there must be some configuration missing from your end.

> Also after doing some testing i see that other customers ( other that customer 100 ) can buy materials that are on A001 LISTING.

Yes, The other customers can buy the materials. As the materials is also in unrestricted.

> so ... everyone can buy materials regardless of the A001 LISTING.

Yes. but the customer for whom the listing records created CAN ONLY buy these.

> If i add a material on a A001 LISTING i do not have any restrictions in the system - anyone can buy those materials.

YES

> What is the use of A001 LISTING ? because now i see that it has no effect

As i said there may be some configuration missing. Listing should only allow customer to buy the material which are listed.

Thank you for your answer

now i understand that checking configurations using forums are difficult

but maybe you will see some mistake

so :

---

i have checked OV04 "Activate listing/exclusion by sales document type"

here i have :

SAU Standard Order A00001 Listing B00001 Exclusion

note : the column "Pro" is empty, i do not have any A B or C

---

then i checked : "Maintain listing/exclusion types"

there i have :

A001 Listing A001 Listing

B001 Exclusion B001 Exclusion

---

then "Procedures for maintaining listing/exclusion"

A00001 Listing

Control Data >

10 0 A001 Listing 0

---

then "Maintain access sequences for listing/exclusion"

A001 Listing

Accesses >

10 1 Customer/Material 0

20 1 Customer/Material 1

Fields 10 >

KUNNR KOMKG KUNNR Customer

MATNR KOMPG MATNR Material

Fields 20 >

KUNNR KOMKG KNRZE Payer

MATNR KOMPG MATNR Material

---

I do not know what else should i ckeck ...

maybe you have an ideea ...

[Former Member]

Thanks,

Raja

[Former Member]

In my testings The Payer WAS DIFFERENT THEN Sold to party

Note : Almost every time in our system the Payer IS DIFFERENT THEN Sold to party

[Former Member]

In the sales order> environment. analysis-->Listing /Exclusion , turn on that and check whether system is checking these or not.

Thanks,

Raja

[Former Member]

Hello Raja,

After i turned On Analysis > Listing /Exclusion i see that :

it is checking ONLY B001 (the exclusion) NOT THE A001 ( the listing ) ...

[Former Member]

Hi

Once u maintain listing and exclusion both 4 de material , system gives priority to exclusion.. so in that case u wont get any pop message related to listing 4 that material..

correct me if i went wrong..

thanks

Thank you for your quick answer.

I know that exclusion has higher priority. I added that condition because the system does not work like i want.

BUT CURRENTLY I HAVE ONLY a listing condition : A001

Customer Material Valid on Valid to

100 200 14.07.2009 31.12.9999

AND I EXPECT to get an error message in VA01 when i type material 201 ( not 200 for witch i have a listing condition )

BUT I DON'T GET ANY ERROR MESSAGE AND I CAN CREATE AN ORDER WITH MATERIAL 201
