Hi

You can acheive this by enhancement with the help of a user exit....to default a specific delivery block for all the line items with the materials that require approval from the finanace department. The authorised person (finance department) can remove the delivery block and allow for further processing of the order. The authorisation can be handled in the same development.

Hi Amir,

you can try the field Cross-distribution-chain material status under sales view, where you can assign a status to the material & in the configuration (in OVSU) SPRO\Log-general\Mat Master\settings for key fields\data relevant to SD\ define sales status.

you can assign a delivery block which can be used for your purpose.

the same can also be used to make the status throw an error message during order creation & subsequently an order with a material of specific status cannot be created.

Hi

The list of materials that require approvals can be maintained in a Ztable and during creation/change of a sales order, system will check the material from the list available in the Ztable and if the material exisits, then system should automatically default the block.

Hello,

You can use the field on the sales org tab 1, X dist channel status for all sales org, dchain spec status for a specific sales org,

this will block the entry of the material in any sales order

you would also require a validity date for this block to be applied.

once you apply this block you would not need a delivery block in the sales order, but your finance department might need access to mm02 to release this block when approved.
