block creation sales orders via field in contract

[Former Member]

Hi,

we want to do the following:

when a customer desides to temporary block a contract a field has to be set on in the sales contract and a date has to be filled in (start of block) -> creation of sales orders should be blocked

it still should be possible to create deliveries and invoices...

after a while block is removed + date is filledi n -> creation of sales orders should be possible again.

My question is: which field can we use in sales contracts? or do we have to develop everything (a lot of work and money)

ciao

Hi

You may use the concept of Status Profile, check the transaction BS02. Assign the same in your contract document type.

Search the forum for more detail information about Status Profile.

Hi,

thx for the reply.

in te posts I see it's some kind of approval flow. but can we work with that even if it's not applicable for all contracts. Because most of our contracts, nothing will change, only for a few an indicator has to be set to know that there is a problem and no new orders can be created.

Hi

If this is selective for few Contracts, then you better do it manually by using the Reason For Rejection.

Go to VA42, select reason for rejection tab and there assign any reason for rejection as per your requirement (you may create new reason for rejection in IMG> Sales & distribution>Sales>sales Document item>Define Reason for Rejection) and Save the contract.

Now you will not be able to create Sales Order against this contract.

When you want to create Sales Order, just go to VA42 and remove the reason for rejection and Save.
