maxinum number of ship-to party for a sold-to party?

[Former Member]

Dear Expert,

Is there any limitation on the number of the ship-to party that a sold-to party can have? I was told that one sold-to party can have maximally 999 ship-to party? Is it true? If it is true, what if a sold-to party does have more than 999 ship-to parties?

This could be the potential problem of my client, because the number of the ship-to party for one sold-to party is increasing intensively and may exceed the LIMIT in the future?

Any input will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

I will need more information on your query to solve

Can you provide the details of industry ur client belongs to

As it will be more complex to select 1 ship to party from the xxxx numbers, Can you try this with customer Hierarchy functionality.

Hi Bashir,

The problem has been solved.

Actually in sales order, you are allowed to put ship-to party which is not linked to the sold-to party in the master data, that means you can manually key in any ship-to party as you like. I didn't know this before:(

In our case, the orders are transmitted via EDI and created automatically, so the ship-to party is also determined automatically in a user exit, so we can have as many ship-to party as we want.

Thanks!

Hi,

If ship to part's more than the limit then

simply create Create another account group only for ship to part & asign number range limit,under this include all ship to party names

Elase,

Genrate another customer number with same sold to party.
