Should payer affect the ability to combine orders to single delivery?

[Former Member]

My customer wishes to combine sales orders that go to the same ship to party but have a different payer. I've been trying to get this to work and have created two orders (identical) that will create a single delivery when the payer is the same but if I change the payer I end up with two deliveries.

I've checked:

Shipping point

Date that delivery is due

Ship-to party

Route (same method of transport and route)

Incoterms

Partners in delivery header - just sold to and ship to listed.

All the same.

Can anyone let me know if this is correct or not.

We do have credit management - could this affect it?

In normal circumstances, Payer will not be considered in delivery split. You may check what payment terms is maintained in that payer master. May be once the delivery split happens, you can compare before saving the delivery. Also you can check for the following parameters due to which delivery split will happen.

a) if the material is different, you can check the material master for transportation group, business area, profit center etc.,

b) Shipping Condition of Payer / Ship To Party
