If you are maintaining Customer Material Info Record, then it is possible.  Else, you have to look for suitable user exit.

Hi,

thanks for your answer. I think too, that exclusion process (VB01...) is not the right way.

Yes we use Material Info Records (VD51 ...) but only for getting the
customer Material number.

I don't know how i can ristrict, that a material, say 123456, can only be sold
to customer 252525 and 262626?

If there isn't a way i will use Exit MV45AFZB with an own DB-Table.

No not necessary.  Through standard configuration itself, you can achieve this requirement.  Let us assume, your order type is OR, item category is TAN.

but only for getting the customer Material number.

That is enough and in that case, follow the below steps:-

• Create a new Item Category Group in OVAW; say ZRES
• Create a new Item Category Usage; say ZCUS, in IMG > SD > Sales > Sales Document Item > Define Item Category Usage
• Assign this Usage in CMIR for that customer
• Assign the Item Category Group ZRES in that material master
• Go to VOV4, select OR and maintain as follows:-

  Ord:::::ItCGr:::Usage:::HLItCa::::::DfItC

 OR:::::ZRES::::ZCUS:::::::::::::::::TAN

Now try to create a sale order for that material for an alternate customer and update here still if you have any issues.  Needless to mention, if the user change the item category group for that material, then, system will allow to create sale order for other customers.  So you need to highlight this to your client and only authorised user should have access to master data.

just maintain Exclusion process

Your above suggestion will not work.  For information, the functionality of Listing/Exclusion is via Listing for a customer, that customer can only order those listed materials.  Similarly, via Exclusion for a customer, that customer cannot order those materials. The above functionality is entirely different from what the OP is expecting.
