Production Order creation Despite Delivery Block on Sales Order

[Former Member]

Hi All

I have created a Z1-Delivery Block and assigned the block to a Sales order type.

Now during the creation of the Sales order the Delivery block is assigned immediately the system creates a planned order but no production order.However the business would still like the production order to be created.

Is there a SAP standard way to allow this to happen or would I need to enhance via a USER EXIT.

Thanks in Advance for your assistance.

I'm not an expert, but I don't think delivery block actually has any influence on the production order. We have tried on purpose to use a delivery block to prevent the PO creation/release and had to develop a user exit for this purpose. The way it works in our system - planned order has a conversion indicator. Some standard program runs in background and converts the planned orders with this indicator into the production orders. If indicator is not set then PO is not created.

Delivery block just prevents delivery from PGI, I don't think it even prevents the delivery creation (much to my surprise).

you can enhance everything you want)

but how do you create production orders -

do you run MRP or users just create them manually? or any external system does?
