Credit block order and ODL

Hi Gurus,

We have recently gone live with SAP IS Retail and SAP SCM GATP integration. In the GATP solutioning we have implemented EDQA.

EDQA is appearing pretty stable. But recently we had observed a typical issue.

In our PROD system, all the sales orders which are under credit block are not appearing in the ODL, which is correct. But if the sales orders are having credit block with no confirmation for the line item, then it is appearing in the ODL. The unconfirmed line items are having entries in the VBEP as well as VBBE tables, with no confirmation quantity.

This behavior is not consistent in the PROD and PRE-PROD systems, in-spite of having same set of configuration and data. In the PRE-PROD environment the line item is not at all appearing in the ODL whether there is credit block or not.

EDQA is working fine in the PRE-PROD environment also.

So my questions are -

1. If there is credit block on the sales order with no available stock for the line item, should it appear in the ODL?

2. What could be probable reasons for different behavior of ODL in PRE-PROD and PROD systems?

Thanks & Regards

Hello Piyush,

In transaction: /SAPAPO/ODL Does the ODL list contain order items ?

also Transaction: /SAPAPO/ODLC Is the ODL list status "activated" ?

Check the EDQA conditions in transaction  /SAPAPO/EDQA_PPN table /SAPAPO/EDQAPPN and  /SAPAPO/EDQAPP

Please take a look at the F1-Help of the field 'Conf. block'  under the following customizing path:

    -> Sales and Distribution

         -> Basic Functions

              -> Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements

                   -> Transfer of Requirements

                        -> Block Quantity Confirmation In Delivery Blocks

The behavior is same for the credit block. Order with the credit block is not treated as rejected.

Please set the "Fixed Date & Quantity" (VBAP-FIXMG) indicator to prevent the transfer. When you set the delivery block on the header (VBAK-LIFSK) and you have maintained the "Confirmation block" indicator in customizing for the relevant delivery block, the system will reset the confirmed quantity when saving the sales document.

Hi Rupesh,

Thanks for your reply.

As I had mentioned that EDQA is pretty stable. Itself implies that

"In transaction: /SAPAPO/ODL Does the ODL list contain order items ?" - Yes

"also Transaction: /SAPAPO/ODLC Is the ODL list status "activated" ?"Yes

Moreover credit block is not transferring the quantity. Unless the block is removed, the quantity is remaining available for the other requirements. It is not reflected in ODL also.

The issue is that when there is credit block in the sales order, and there is no stock of the line item then it is displaying in the ODL. This could be a possible scenario as one of the line item is out of stock. At the same time time the sales order undergoes the credit block. In such case,

1. PROD system displays the Sales order in the ODL. But PRE-PROD does not displays the order in the ODL. One of them is wrong.

2. Whether ODL should display the such sales order line items or not?

I hope now it is more clear.

Thanks & Regards

Hello Piyuesh,

Did you check second part of my reply?

It is standard behaviour to remove the confirmed quantities if the items used are credit blocked

items are credit blocked in ERP, then the confirmed quantity is set to zero here, Order items will only hold their confirmed quantities if the order passes the credit check.

The delivery block can be set in Customizing. Use Transaction OVLS.

'Confirmation block' (TVLS-SPEBE)

The delivery block is set on header level. In the customizing of the delivery block the confirmation block is set.

The delivery or the credit block does not prevent the transfer of requirements (creation of an entry in table VBBE/VBBS).

If you have set the confirmation block (TVLS-SPEBE) for the delivery block (Customizing transaction OVLS) then the confirmed quantity of the sales order will be set to '0'.

If the "Fixed Date & Quantity" indicator is set additionally, system will not transfer anything to the  in table VBBE or VBBS.

Please refer OSS FAQ note

   547277 - FAQ: Requirements in SD and in the delivery

12. Why does a credit-blocked item generate requirements? What can I do to prevent requirements generation?

Best Regards,

Hi Piyush,

Read the release restrictions of the SCM 7.0 version you're using. There are some constraints with respect to ODLs. You may also see an issue with Stor loc entries not getting updated in ODL.
