plant mandatory

[Former Member]

Hi,

How can I make the plant default in sale order level only & not thru customer level.

While creating sale order when i put the order type & sales area, plant should come automatically in sale order.

No manual entry is required.

As you should be aware delivering plant in sale order will flow based on the following sequence

1) Customer Master Info Record else

2) Customer Master else

3) Material Master

So if you are unable to maintain in customer master, it is better to maintain the plant in material master so that it will automatically flow to your sale order.

thanks

As per SAP standerd process plant will determine order level automatically by maintaining this sequence..

1) Customer Master Info Record else

2) Customer Master else

3) Material Master

By maintaining like this sequence it will come default....

Hello,

You can maintain delivery Plant in sales organisation view 1 of material master record in delivery plant field.

With this the plant wil come automatically irrespective of customer (ship to party /sold to party) while creating sales order.

This plant is automatically copied into the sales order item as the default value.

Note : If there is no default value when you process the sales order item, enter a delivering plant.

The value proposed in the item is either

from the customer master record of the goods recipient, or

from the material master record

The system checks whether it can propose a value (and for your own plants, whether the material has been created in the plant). If the system can propose a value, the plant is copied to the sales order item where you can change it as required.

hello.

In standard SAP delivery come from Customer mat info record, Customer master record and Material master. And in this order only.

I will suggest use User exit to default plant in "USEREXIT_SOURCE_DETERMINATION"

in include MV45AFZB

Hi,

Plantem will be determined at the item level by default, based on the rules mentioned by others in this tread.

Dear all,

Standard proposes three options to find the delivering plant. But it is not restricted. A well known consumer products company maintains condition records for the determination of Plant. The customers are served with n number of plants and n number of sales organization for a single product. So, they can not assign the delivery plant with these 3 options given. The delivering plant has to be proposed on many criteria like sales organization, period etc. Of course, this has been customized.

Hello Raju,

when you put the order type & sales area, plant should come automatically in sale order for that you have to maintain Plant while creating a Material Master.

Plant is determined by the following ways in a Sales Order/ Quotation.

1. Customer Master Info Record

2. Material Master

3. Customer Master

As you said you dont want Plant determination by customer master so dont maintain any Plant in shipping tab of Customer Master.

Easy option would be,

Transaction Variant- Tx:SHDB, record Plant field ( where required) & but save this field "With Content".

If you want to make this default for specific order type, assign this variant in doc type in VOV8.

Now whenever you create order using this doc type, plant will be defaulted ( you can make this field mandatory also- if required, while recording)
