Sales Order Types

[Former Member]

Gurus what is the process used to determine which sales order types a specific organization can enter? How can it be determined which sales order types can be entered by a user/org or any other criteria?

Hi,

You can restrict your sales order type with respect to your sales area. See when you create a sales order in VA01, there are entries like Order type, Sales organisation, distribution channel, Division. When you directly try to select the order type without entering the sales area then the system will display all the order types that have been configured in VOV8 which is difficult to select.

Specific order types.

1. OVAO - combine sales organisation

2. OVAM - combine distribution channels.

3. OVAN - combine division.

4. OVAZ - Assign sales order types permitted for sales areas.

Do the proper assignments in all the four transaction codes.

Now when you go to VA01, first enter the sales area, then select the order type. You will see the order types which have been assigned in OVAZ.

Reward points if solution helps.

Hi,

Sales order types are driven by the Business process.

The standard SAP order types such as OR is most generic order type.

RE is for returns and there are different order types if it is consignment/third party orders and so on.

Based on the Business process at the company,we could make a copy of the Standard order types and create Z order types and configure them based on Business requirements.For example we could use ZOR and ZRE.

In addition to the standard sales order, there are also special order types, such as the rush order and the cash sales.

In cash sales the goods are paid for in cash.

In a rush order transaction, the customer picks up the goods or you deliver the goods on the same day as the order is placed. However, the invoice is created later.

Other criteria that needs to be considered are:

1.If the Invoice would be based on Deliveries or orders.

2.The Schedule line categories and item categories.

3.Sales areas for which the order types should be made available.

4.Customer master data and the sales area

5.Pricing procedures that would be linked to order types.

In transactoin code VOV8 you can find different types of sales orders like INQUIRY,QUOTATION,STANDARD ORDER,CASH SALE, RETURN ORDER,etc.Here you can select the order type you want and go through the details by click on Details button and you will notice the additional criteria behind the order types.

Hope this helps.

Use t.code OVAZ to see which of the sales doc types are allowed for a sales org. You can also add new ones here.

If the requirement is to check which order typers are available for a particular sales organization, then fo to the transaction like VA01 enter your sales org and then take a drop down in order type(f4). This will show all the permitted orders for this sales org.

Hi James,

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly. If my understanding is correct you want to limit specific sales document types to a sales org. You can assign sales document types to a sales area in configuration. IMG menu path: Sales & Distribution/Sales/Sales Documents/Sales Document Header/Assign Sales Area to Sales Document Types.

Hope this helps.
