Backorders (maximum days)

[Former Member]

Hi,

We would like to set-up in the system, e.g. the backorders will be closed automatically given a specified number of days validity.

For example, requested delivery date is nov 20. back order of 50pcs... if we setup 5days maximum waiting time,

then, by nov 26, if still not able to deliver the products, the schedule line should no longer show as backorder. (maybe have reason for rejection?)

Is there a functionality of this in the system?

Thanks...

Hi,

If this needs to be achieved manually, then you can use t.code VA05, Open order report.

In this report, you can find two fields, document date and delivery date. If the user finds the difference between the days is higher than the requirement, then the user can double click on the sales order and in the reason for rejection, they can add the reason and then can save the order. By this way, the sales order will be in completed status and no more in open status.

In reality, I could imagine, there must be plenty of orders and the user can't go one by one to close order. As far as I know, there is no standard program available to close the sales orders, which are overdue certain days. You must develop your own custom program in order to close the sales order automatically based on selection criteria (like delivery date crossed five days etc..)

Dear Shiva,

Thank you for your advise ... What we did last time was also a customized program to update the reason for rejection code for each line item in the sales order... Might do that again ..

Cheers...
