Sales order line items

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

I have a scenario here. In sales order line item I have
1000km quantity which is of 2 X 500M. This means there will be 2 batches
produced of 500M each. I want to give two customer drum numbers in that single
line of sales order and link to those two batches. As this is not possible, user
is entering two separate line items and entering the customer drum number in Z
field of that line item. Each produced batch is linked to each line item. When
I print shipping tag for any of the batch, system checks the sales order / line
item and prints customer drum no. This is increasing the work of the user in
sales order. So I want to give a small table in sales order line item
additional data, where the user will enter two customer drum numbers against
this single line item. Up to here there is no issue. But both the batches
produced will be linked to the single line item only. How to link these two
batches to the customer drum numbers in additional data. (Any batch to any
customer drum no. is ok) So that when ever I print the shipping tag, etc for
any specific batch, system should pick the customer drum number from addition
data.

I know this is not at all possible in standard, but how to
resolve this. Can we do any modification in MB1B, MB1C, etc so that when the
batch is linked to line item (101E , 411E, etc), the same batch should fill
against any of the sales order additional data line.

Kindly suggest at the earliest please.

HI Ratna,

I think, if you try to maintain the batches in the delivery instead of in Sales order, your process will be simplified.

is there any specific reason, why you are selecting batch at the sales order level?

Please try selecting batches at delivery level and test.

Hope this clarifies.

Hi Raju,

Thank you for your reply. I hope I am not clear with my query. Let me explain.

My target is to print shipping tag for each batch. In that tag one of the data is customer drum no. which I am taking from the respective sales order line item. User will input this customer drum no. in Z field against each line item in sales order.

But some times each sales order line item will have more than one customer drum no. In this case production also will produce more than one batch and will do 101E, where all the batches will be assgined to that single line item of sales order. In this case how should I link the batches to the customer drum no.? What logic should I write in what exit. So that when I print shipping tag for any of this batch, system should check the sales order line item and print any of the customer drum no. When I print next batch of same sales order line item, system should print another customer drum no.

I hope I am clear.

Hi Ratna,

As you are saying that you Production team will manufacture a seperate batch for each customer drum, it is a better idea to create 2 lines items in the sales order and for each item, you maintain the drum number.

As there will be a seperate batch for each line item, in the delivery anyhow, it need to split and it need to identify for whcih batch which drum to be assigned.

Hence please create multiple items in the sales order, so as system can understand th drum number for each batch.

Example

Sales order created with 3 items

X - 100 kgs   drum1

X 100 kgs     drum2

X 100 kgs     drum3

Production will manufacture 3 batches....

so the delivery will be

x - 100 kgs  -   drum1 - batch 1

x - 100 kgs  -   drum2 - batch 2

x - 100 kgs  -   drum3 - batch 3

It is east for you link like this and in Shipping tab, you can print the details with one on one relation from sales order to delivery.

Hoep this clarifies
