hello, friend.

i assume the material is sourced from a single plant. theoretically, this could be possible in standard.

1. first, you define 2 availability check types. assign these to check rules and define different controls in OVZ9, one considering safety stock and the other not.

2. now, in the material master-MRP views, you need to change the availability check types just before you process a sales order, using the right availability check type with regard to the customer group of the Sold-to party.

if you are processing only a few sales orders, this could be workable. however, if the daily orders run to the hundreds, this may not be practical.

instead, you would have to create the material in 2 or more virtual plants, each with a different availability check type. however, virtual plants will have FI implications.

hello, friend.

i will discuss first how you can program storage location sourcing for customers belonging to different groups.

1. first, you define different shipping conditions by going to IMG > Log Execution > Shipping > Basic Func > Shipping Pt and Goods Rcvg Pt > Shipping condition. you define one shipping condition for wholesalers, and another for regular sales.

2. now you will assignthese shipping conditions to the customers in Customer Master > Sales Area Data > Shipping.

3. next, you define shipping point determination in IMG > Log Execution > Shipping > Basic Func > Shipping Pt and Goods Rcvg Pt > Assign Shipping Points. in here, you will want a different point to be determined based on the shipping condition (please refer to other threads).

4. each of this shipping point can lead to a different storage location to be sourced. to assign storage location to shippng point, you go to IMG > Shipping > Picking > Determine Picking Location > Assign Picking Location.

once you have all these, when you make a sales order a shipping point will automatically be determined. and when you create a delivery, a storage location will also be determined as appropriate for the customer.
