Created New Sales Document Type - Why in VA01 Is Sold And Ship To Disabled

[Former Member]

Hi,

I've created a new sales document type copying type RE. When I try to use it either by reference or simply entering a new order in VA01 both the sold to and ship to parties are disabled.

I've spent ages reading the help and looking through the IMG.

Can someone put me out of my misery!

Thanks

Delete it and start over. When you create a new sales document type don't use the copy functionality. Instead, copy all the settings manually. If you use the Copy button it will blindly copy settings that may not be set up correctly (incompletion procedure not set up correctly maybe?). If you do it manually you'll get an error when something isn't right. When working in the IMG I very rarely use the copy button and never on something with as many settings as a sales order, copy control or pricing procedure.

Hai simon,

Thats a common problem in partner determination procedure.You have to assign the account group to the sales doc type (or (or) ta).

Once if you do this assignment, sold-to-party & ship-to-party will not be blocked

Try assigning account group to doc type

Hi,

I found that copying type RE wasn't a great idea as most of the Config was corrupt !

Created my own which forced me to understand it at the same time.

Thanks for replies.

Hi,

Please check with the partner determination procedure assignment to your sales document type.

Then in the partner determination procedure, check with the field status for the partner function (Modifible, Mandatory etc).

Please check and confirm.

Reward points if it helps.

Hi Simon,

As per my consern this is may be due to partner determination procedure assignment, so please go throw the transaction VOV8 and go in to details of your order type and check the partner determination procedure and also check the same procedure step by step in IMG >Sales and distribution>Basic functions>Partner detemination>

I hope it will help you,

Regards,
