Override Plant Determination in Sales ORder

[Former Member]

Hello All,

The requirement is a bit peculiar.

We have to maintain the delivering plant in the material master so that the material is successfully replicated in CRM but we want that the plant should not flow in the sales order and the plant field should be blank since the user needs to enter the plant manually in the sales order.

Can someone please let me know how to override the automatic determination of plant in sales order.

An early response will be highly appreciated.

Hi Saurav,

It is not advisable to leave "Plant" as blank in sales order. As advised by George, Leaving plant field blank will have impact on shipping point determination and tax determination.

You can try " USEREXIT_SOURCE_DETERMINATION in program MV45AFZB. "

Hi Saurav,

As suggested by Rahul, Plant determination is a standard process in SAP which go through the sequence from CMIR --> Customer Master --> Material Master. Even after determination of plant in sales order, it can be change as per the requirement (If no any enhancement done). If you want to maintain the plant in material master and require not to determine in Sales order, need to go through the enhancement in MV45AFZZ where while plant gets determine in Sales order, need to delete that value from program. Hope that will solve your requirement.

Just check and let us know if it works for you.

Hi,

plant is essential field for sales orders. Since i do not know your business scenarios i cannot give any suggestion.

Keep in mind that plant is required for tax determination, shipping point determination, availlabillity check and other critical functions.

Hi George,

Thanks for your reply.

We are using both SAP ECC and CRM.In order to replicate the material from ECC to CRM the delivering plant has to be mentioned in the Material Master but the same will flow in the sales order when we enter the material.

Our requirement is even though the plant is present in the Material Master the same should not flow in the sales order and the plant field should be blank.

Are your sales orders origin to CRM and replicated via BDocs to ECC?

Hi Saurav,

Plant field in VA02 is editable field which means you can change the same when required. But if any document has been posted example delivery then it can't be done. If below is not the case in your system cross check have you implemented any exit.

Let me know if it resolved your issue.

Hello,

Please note that I am looking for enhancement where the plant field will remain blank even though the delivering plant is mentioned in the material master i.e. the plant field should not flow in to the sales order.

Please can you guide me on this.

Hi Saurav,

Check this

• USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP (MV45AFZZ)
• USEREXIT_CHECK_VBAP (MV45AFZB)

Let me know if it resolved the issue.

Rahul
