total of the ordered quantity in sales order

[Former Member]

Hi

Is there any settings or functionality for the totalling of the order quantity in the sales order as the user requires to see the total number of the units of quantity of order taken and if its less they can still ask for more order from the customer so that the truck is used for its fullest capacity for transport of the materials.

thanks

Hi

You can have min order quantity for each item but not the order. Generally such kind of requirements are handled using user exit. Please use userexit MV45AFZZ and perform USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT. You can add the total here and verify for a particular number. Give appropriate message to the user and error message so that the order cannot be saved.

Hi AJ,

In the standard system up to ERP 5.0 you could use weight and volume for aggregation. Not very useful.

In SAP ERP 5.0, there is a new functionality called "loading units".

Quick copy/paste from the release notes:

As of SAP ECC 5.00, SCM Extension (EA-SCM 500) you can use a loading unit in Dynamic Transportation Planning of the DSD Backend process. A loading unit is an additional capacity limit that limits the maximum delivery quantity of a vehicle. A loading unit is a unit of measure that is independent of the units of measure in order processing.
For aggregation purposes, the delivery quantities are converted into the loading unit using their conversion factor in the material master. The total quantity in the loading unit is calculated in the order and the delivery and displayed together with the aggregation categories. The loading unit is also shown for information purposes in the shipment as the sum of the deliveries contained in the shipment.

It says SCM Extension, but that's not APO, only an extension, so it is part of the standard system. Even if it is part of the DSD Backend, you might think of using it independently of DSD.

Best Regards,

Franck
