Link Sales Order Type to Customer

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

Do you know if there is anyway of linking a customer to a Sales Order Type?

So that if selling to that customer, everytime that Sales Order type is determined?

Please consider scenario where Sales Orde type is created through DP90 from service orders.

Thanks and best regards,

hi victor,

in standard SAP there is no direct link as such for customer to sales order type.

what is the business logic for the same.

you are linking the sales areas for the document types - not to the customer level - that is one type of control which SAP is providing.

but here you need to enter the sales order type manually before entering the customer for the sales order. so MV45AFZZ : USER EXIT SAVEDOCUMENT_PREPARE.

you can write a piece of code for the same.

you need to hard code account group of the customers & sales document type, so that when ever before saving the sales order the system will check the sales order type used for that particular customer is correct or not and then saves the sales order or else it throws an error

hope this clears your issue

Hi,

When you enter VA01 the first screen comes up and ask for your order type, sales organisation, distribution channel and divison i.e before even mentioning the customer no: .

In such case how would you assign certain order type to the customer automatically ?

The only answer is through some add on enhancement.

Hi,

Before deciding the customer, we need to decide the order type. and are you going to do this through VA01 or or through programming. if you do with custom program you can do this.
