Error during copying from contract to std sales - Message no. V2 005

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

My client requirement is, "Qty Contract" needs to be created in the name of one Sold To Party (e.g. XYZ). After that, in the regular sales order screen after entering another Sold To Party code (e.g. ABC) the previously created "Qty Contract" needs to be referred.

When we tried to create the regular sales order for another Sold To Party (e.g. ABC) by referring the "Qty contract" created we are getting the error message that "The sold-to parties are different. 19991 and/or 99992 (reference)" Message no. V2005

Can any experts help us to resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance

Warm Regards,

Hi

You can very well change the Sold to party in the sales order after referencing it from a contract.

In the copy controls from sales document to sales document in VTAA

at the header level maintain the copying requirements as 002

Dear Experts,

Thanks for your valuable feedback.

But due to my client business requirement, we are looking for the solution as we told in our initial question. But we got the confident by seeing the "Message" we received during our process from SAP system. In that message its mentioned that, If Business wants the "Error" message can be modify as "Warning". So we are looking for the solution where to modify this error message in to Warning message.

Please find below the system message we received during our testing

The sold-to parties are different. T-L63C01 and/or T-S62A01 (reference)

Message no. V2005

Diagnosis

The sold-to party in the reference document is not the same as the

sold-to party in the target document.

System response

Depending on the copying requirements for the various sales documents

which are defined in Customizing, this message appears either as an

error message which requires a correction or a warning which can be

skipped over.

Procedure

Procedure for

- Error message

Select a suitable reference document which has the same sold-to

party as the target document.

- Warning

Proceed as described for the error message or skip over the

warning with ENTER.

If you skip over the warning, only the item data from the

reference document is copied into the target document.

Hi Vel,

As suggested by Prashanth above, you can easily achieve your requirement by maintaining the copy control settings as below :

''In the copy controls from sales document to sales document in VTAA

at the header level maintain the copying requirements as 002''

So that there is no need to change the error message to warning message.

Hi,

This is standard SAP behaviour. You cannot create a sales order for a different sold-to party than the contract sold-to party. Please create the contract for the correct sold-to party and then create the sales order.
