IS Retail - discontinuing an article for a certain sales area

[former_member1380295]

HI,

For an article, say article 123456, we can process a sales order for a certain sales org / distribution channel. say 1000 / 10. however, we want to discontinue this process. How do I set this up in the system, so it won't allow anymore an article 123456 to be sold under sales area 1000/10. I'm thinking of changing the article master? But how should it be done?

Thanks in advance !

Go to transaction MM42.

select the sales views with the sale org and distribution channel you want (1000/10).

fill in the value in field DChain-spec.(MVKE-VMSTA) then the material won't be able to used specific sales org / distribution channel anymore.

Distribution-chain-specific material status

Indicates whether, for a specific distribution chain, the material may be used in individual functions in Sales and Distribution.

Use

The distribution-chain-specific material status restricts the usability of the material for the distribution chain concerned, that is, it defines whether a warning or error message is displayed if you include the material in a particular function.

Example

The material may be a part under development or one to be discontinued.

If total articles need to be sell in other sales area we can change site master sales area in Organization/calender view.

Hi Zenon,

From your question the interpretation goes like this - You are using IS-Retail in which you want to restrict a specific article in a specific Distribution Chain (Sales Area is a terminology used in SD and in Retail we always refer to Dist.Chain - which is a combination of Sales Org/Dist.Channel - since we don't use any division in standard Retail)

This can be done using Article Discontinuation - for Dist.Chain - By doing this the article can no longer be sold in any of the assortments which belong to a Dist.Chain (Sales Org/Dist.Channel)

You can use Tcode - WSE6 to achieve this.Also you can use WSE1 if you want that article to be deleted client-wide.

Hope it helps

Best Regards,

Aram.
