Hi Pooja,

Let me make it very simple for you.

Firstly, you will have to go into customizing SPRO - SD - BASIC FUNCTIONS - LOG OF INCOMPLETION ITEMS.

1) Select Define Incompletion Procedure.

You will be asked whether to create at Sales Order Header or Sales Order item

Choose Sales Order Header, and either copy an existing incompletion procedure or click on new entries and assign a number range and then define the table and field names which you want to be compulsoraily inputted in the Sales Order at the time of saving.

I am sure you know how to get the table and field names, press F1 in the relevant field and go to techincal details, and get it from there.

Now if say you want to issue a warning to the user if he doesnt input any of the fields that you have entered in your incompletion procedure, just make sure you tick in the warning field.

Also based on your business scenario, you can decide what level of action you want to take if the Sales Order is not entered with all the relevant field names that you just maintained in your incompletion Log.

This can be handled by the column called " Status Group "

Based on the status group you can decide whether to restrict Billing of the order or Delivery as so on against each table and field name that you must have maintained in your incompletion procedure.

Just make sure the tick that you see in Status Group, means that particular activity is restricted.

Now once you finalize all the table and field names along with status group and warning messages, now is the time to assign this incompletion procedure against your sales order document type in transaction VOV8 (Please note we are using VOV8 since we earlier defined this procedure for Sales Order Header)

If you would have choosen Sales Document Item, then you would had assigned this incompletion procedure against your item category in transaction VOV7.

Now once this maintenance is done, you are ready for testing.

I hope this will help you.

If it does please dont forget to reward points for contribution.

Hi,

Go to

IMG -- SD -- basic funtions -- incompletion log...

you need to do the following settings...

1. create incompletion procedure.

2. assign the fields which you needed mandatory. ie if you dont maintain this system will show as incomplete..

3. give the status group for the field..

4. assign incompletion procedure to the order type...

status group decides at what stage it needs to block when document is incomplete.. like delivery, billing etc..

ex : if you dont have the shipping point you need to block at delivery..

if you dont have payment terms need to block during billing

reward if helps

There are 3 steps(SD- Basic functions)
