Hi RMD,

You can make use of SAP functionality for excluding materials.

The T-code is VBO1.

SAP provides condition type B001 which is by customer.

If your customer base is huge, you may consider grouping the customers using a criteria from the customer master and then create exclusion condition type based on the criteria (one example can be customer group)

You will also need to activate the exlusion procedure through config under the Sales and distribution/basic functions/(listing/exclusion).

SAP standard procedure for exclusion is B00001.

Pls see if this helps.

Hi,

The standard straight solution would be use exclusion for other customers for

Mat-X. If you have more number of customers, this solution would give you head ache in master maintenance as you would be required to maintain exclusion for every customer.

Another option would be, create a condition table with a field where you can group the customers whom you don't want the Mat-X, like for example customer group KDGRP.

Here is the procedure.

1. Group all the customers other than customer A via KDGRP - Customer group.

2. A condition table say 600 to be created with fields SD Doc type and KDGRP. You may also consider more fields if you need, based on your requirement.

3. Populate this table in the access sequence B001, i.e for exclusion.

4. Now in transaction VB01 if you select condition type B001, system would prompt the key combination SD Doc type and KDGRP.-> Select this and maintain the data.

5. You maintain the excusion data per sales doc type and customer group. here the customer group is the group of customers other than Customer A.

This would solve your problem. Basically you need to identify a field for grouping all the customer under one field and create a new condition table based on the above explanation.

Hope this sloves your purpose. Feel free to get back to me for any clarifications.
