Hi,

One simple way would be to give those customers a special sales area (e.g. a separate distribution channel) than for normal customers. Then you do not allow the Document Type for this sales area in the transaction "Assign Sales Areas to Sales Document Types" in IMG (Sales & Distribution -> Sales -> Sales Documents -> Sales Documents Header).

Ensure that the customer is created to this "blocked" sales area only. Then when you try to create the sales order, system would give an error message saying customer is not defined for the sales area, and would not let you proceed.

Hope this helps,

Creating a Seperate Sales Area for just a few Customers is a wastage of system resources from my perspective although the final call is yours.

the customers can be blocked sales area wise. i.e for a specif sales area or for all sales areas it can be controled by XD05 t.code.

if number of sales to these customer is less, then why don't you go for One time Customer Account group...and by that i guess you go by any document type...your purpose of getting cash first will be solved.

Dear Sridhar,

I am presume the account group for these customer are different

Please discuss with ABAP consultant and write a fields exit for sold to party in VA01.

This will prevent booking of sales orders for other account groups for the order type.
