SD VC: Retain Manual Configuration values in Sales Order on Plant Change

Former Member

We have a requirement that although a Sales Order is saved and material configured for supply from a specific plant, it may be supplied from another plant based on its availability. This means that to supply from there, we need to change the plant for that order item.

The moment we change the plant, the configuration is refreshed from the MRP3 view of that material for the new plant, and rightly so.

We are using partially configured material variants. So when we change the plant, the manual entries for configuration (made while creating the sales order) are also lost. We want to retain the original configuration (more importantly the manual part) so that we do not need to feed it again.

Since this is an oft conducted activity, the option of using Configuration Buffer is not proving very handy. The user requirement is that they only change the plant and the rest should be taken care of automatically.

Another approach to the problem could be the programmatic handling of the configuration buffer. The program reads the configuration buffer and before save, overlays it back.

Any suggestions on how to achieve this?
