OPEN Sales Orders

[Former Member]

Dear All

How can I retrieve the OPEN Sales Order from the System? I mean from the SAP Database Tables.

I knew there is one Table VBUK which helps me.

The corresponding field is GBSTK.

But in this VBUK table for GBSTK field I can see 4 entries.

NOT RELEVANT

NOT YET PROCESSED

PARTIALLY PROCESSED

COMPLETELY PROCESSED

What Should I Pick for retrieving OPEN sales orders and also let me know whether my approach is correct or not.

Please respond.

Thanks

Take only "NOT YET PROCESSED and PARTIALLY PROCESSED" but one tcode VA05 which is also used to see list of open orders but only for a single customer.

hi sonali,

not sure if i understood your question, i see two things in it.

1) A sales order can be open without reference to GBSTK( goods movement). As long as there is a delivery for the sales order its complete whatever might be the status of GBSTK.

2) But if you want to find out whether goods movement has been completely done or not ie GBSTK status then you can check all orders where the VBUK_GBSTK status is not equal to C- completely processed.

Hi

VBUK is the status table for all the sales related documents include order, delivery , and invoice

if you want to take only sales order ( VBAK)

then create a SQVI or ABAP query

linking the VBAK and VBUK table

if you want only open the you can select not equal C status

To get open orders, use both 'A' and 'B'

By this way, you wont list 'rejected' orders in the list.

if VBUK-GBSTK is A (Not yet processed) - order has status "OPEN"

Hello Warwick

what about PARTIALLY PROCESSED and NOT RELEVANT

aren't the Status OPEN for the above things?

Thanks

status OPEN has only "A" in VBUK-GBSTK

why don't you create:

-order

-order with delivery

-order with...

and check the records looking for the difference?

PARTIALLY PROCESSED represents partially export

NOT RELEVANT represents the order isn't referred to anything
