Material not in use sales process at company code Level!

[Former Member]

Hi,

is there any way by which We restrict a material not to use in other Company Code in sales process but in stock transfer we can send the material to another company code?

Ritesh,

Is the requirement -

A material can not be sold from a company code. But that material can be supplied from that company code (supplying plant is assigned to that com code).

The loading group, in a material (for sales org, dis channel and plant) can be used in item category determination. So that for non-sale company codes, the item category determination for that material is not set up.

Mr. Typewriter,

Your suggestion is good but this can only be possible in a new scenario.

If I do the changes as per your suggestion, Business will not going to allow me to do this type of changes.

Kindly suggest any other way!

Thanks & Regards

Hi Ritesh,

One way you can do is by extending the Material to the Plant in respective company code

If you have not extended the material then system will not allow to transfer between two company codes

Hello,

transfer, Sales Views should be open on the delivering Company, to allow creating Intercompany delivery. So in the receiving company, you don't need to open Sales Views. Anyway you can open them, and ther restrict the usage of the material customizing the Material Block at Sales Organization level (field MVKE-VMSTA): here you can define a specific block and for it the Sales Document categories to be blocked.

Best regards,

Hi Ritesh,

For example, your material is being used in IT10/10/10 Sales area and you don't want to Use the same material in GB10/10/10

If the material was not extended to GB10/10/10, just don't extend it any more

If the material has been already extended, go to the material master, in the Sales Org 1 view, enter the Value 12 ( sales not allowed) in field Dchain-Spec. Status

Instead of 12, if you want to follow nomenclature of your organization , you can create and assign at the field

System will not allow to save the sales order due to this block

hope it serves your purpose

Hi Santosh,

If I do not extend the material in the both sales are system will not create the STO also.

But I have to create the STO but the Sales Order.

How to restrict the material to sales?

Thanks & Regards

Hi Ritesh,

Are you using Sales order for STO ? Is it Intercompany STO  or Intracompany ?

If you don't want to use block at sales org view, then you can use Exclusion functionality

Create the materials which you don't want to use for the sales order, obviously you will be having some document type

list them and create condition record in VBO1 ( Standard Exclusion condition type B001)

when you try to process sales order for particular material which was excluded , you will get error

as " MATERIAL HAS BEEN EXCLUDED "

in this way you can restrict

hope it is clear

Ritesh,

Santosh's suggestion is good!

Going into the details of exclusion functionality, for many company codes is the same sales document type used? Is business using this functionality already?

[Former Member]

Mr. Typewriter,

We don't have this particluar functionality in business process yet.

Thanks & Regards,

Ritesh

Ritesh,

What about - is business using the same sales document type for all / multiple comp codes?

Or each company code has its own sales document type?

This could impact the fields in the table, related to exclusion functionality.

Mr. Typewriter,

We have 18 different SO type for running the business process in 18 different company code.

And this will not effect any where else because SO type is different.

Thanks & Regards
