Hi Amit,

Yes you are right but for the second outbound delivery I am only creating the delivery and picking request, still I have to do PGI and the Sales order is showing Completed. Please give some more details on the same.

Thanks

Hi,

As I said the system willl show the SO to be completed as soon as all the items in the SO have been delivered, regardless of whether you go picking, PGI or not.

Check tables VBUK and VBUP for more details on header & item level statuses.

Hope its clear now,.

Thanks for the reply Amit,

Ya I`m very much clear with this but in my scenario its causing a lot of problem, because the order is saying that its closed but still its in being processed. Why does SAP show a sales order as complete when a sub process like an outbound delivery is still being processed? Can you please elaborate.

Thanks

Hi,

The primary objective of a SO is to create delivery related items and confirm schedule lines. Once delivery for the entire order qty has been created there is no point processing the SO further. If you agree with this the solution is more clear.

Subsequently till Picking, packing and PGI is done delivery status would show as being processed and once they are done it would be complete.

Hope it clears your doubts.

Hi Ramakanth,

Like Amit mentioned, Sales order status captures if the immediate subsequent doc has been created or not., In our case it shows as completed after the delivery has been completed.

Thank you

Hi Ramakant,

In the 2st case ur are doing a partial delivery of just 1 qty out of 5. Thats why the SO status remains being processed even after delivery & PGI is done.

The status of the sales order becomes completed only after all the items in the SO have been delivered successfully.
