control material entry on sales orders including EDI orders

Hi, What are the options for stopping the sales order for a particualr material and even through EDI data? Early answers are highly appreciated. Thank you, Nandy

Nandy,

Well, it depends upon how you are managing your EDI.

If you create a sales status (OVSU) that is set for "B" in all areas of interest for you, and you then enter this status in your material masters, then no sales orders can be entered for that material (generates error message every time you attempt).  In many EDI implementations, where Sales orders are actually entered using an IDOC, the result will typically be a failed IDOC (status 51 or similar), and the sales order will not typically appear in the SD databases.
