Sales order header text changes are copied to referenced sales order header text even if no reference check box is checked in configuration

[Former Member]

HI All,

I have created a Sales order with reference to another sales order. Original sales order has sales order header text ZALL with object VBBK.

Now when I change the sales order header text in ID ZALL in the original sales order, my reference sales order header text for ZALL is also getting changed.

Requirement is that the sales text changed in original sales order header should not flow to the reference sales order header.

I searched the forum and tried to check the different post related to this. I also checked the configuration and found that the Reference/ Duplicate check box is not checked for the text ID.

Also I have multiple text IDs in sales order header but the issue is happening for only two sales IDs.

My question is if the Reference/ Duplicate check box is not checked, then why is the text entered in the text ID is flowing to the reference sales order header.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Hi Gaurav -

You mentioned that: "Requirement is that the sales text changed in original sales order header should not flow to the reference sales order header."

For this purpose, the Reference/ Duplicate indicator in VOTXN should meet your needs. This indicator when CHECKED means that the text is duplicated in the new Sales Order (i.e. does not retain the link to the original Sales Order). When it is BLANK, it means that the text will be referenced (i.e. Changes that occur in the original Sales Order text would automatically be reflected in the new Sales Order text unless you make a change to the text in the new Sales Order -> Changing the text in the new Sales Order would effectively "break" the link).

So what you should try and do is to test this again, but with the Ref/ Dup indicator = CHECKED in the Text ID config in VOTXN.

Thanks Yiin,

Your answer has resolved my issue.

Hi Gaurav,

Check in VOTXN if text is maintained as obligatory?

Hi,

In VOTXN transaction against the access key check whether any requirement has been assigned

most probably it would be 1 which was assigned to copy the value from reference document

check the value and revert

Thanks Santosh for the Reply.

I check the settings but the Requirement field is having value 0. Please see below:

Can you please confirm if it is a standard process that when we copy a sales order from another sales order, the sales order header text are referred by default.

Also do I need to change something in copy control for SO-SO. Currently the copycontrol has below configuration.

Kindly help.

Hi Gaurav,

Yes this is standard process

Hi Santosh,

But if that is the case, this should happen for all the texts assigned to the sales order header because I am copying a sales order to another sales order.

But the issue is occurring only for 2 of around 15 text types. Any clue why.
