not transferring requirements to planning

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I'm not experienced in availability check, planning, etc so I might have written big mistakes here.

How I can prevent that my sales order gets visible for the planning department (typically they would look in transaction MD04 I guess)?

This is the type of flow I have in mind:

• customer service fills in the order, specifies the values for the characteristics (variant configurator i used), Availability check runs and the order is saved

• order is saved but not confirmed so it is not transferred to planning ==> this might be replaced by something else like putting a block (if it exists)

• planning (or other department like production) checks the order and the variant. If it is ok, they will confirm the order so it gets to the planning. If not, they will get in contact with customer service.

How can I realize such a set-up in a Make To Order environment?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Thanks Eduardo. That's a lot of lecture

I believe I read that using a delivery block is a (the) standard way to prevent the requirements to be transferred.
