SO Blocking..

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Can u PLZ elaborately explain the scenario in which we block the sales orders other than in case of credit defaulting/exceeding the permissiable credit limit..

Also where in the SO (the path) i which we assign/choose the blocking reasons.

And how do we go a head with removing the blocks??

The blocking reasons which we define in the IMG:

In IMG

Sales> Sales Docs>Define and assign reasons for blocking.

Points assured for good n elaborative replies.

Best Regards,

Hi,

You can block the Sales Document Type by checking the Sales document block check box(in the tcode: vov8)..

Dear Subba rao

There is no standard thumb rule for this. To block a sale order, it could be due to so many reasons and it all differs from company to company but mainly due to some problem with sold to party.

Possible reasons other than credit limit are

- Financial position of the customer is not good

- Price negotiation going on and customer has not given any indication to accept even a marginal price increase

- Inordinate delay in effecting payments against long time overdue

- Customer closed

Hello,

In the case of repair processing, some times the customer send the machine for repair, the repair order (sales document) will be blocked until the customer agrees the repair price (spares, labour, travel..etc), one the customer gives permission we start doing the repair and and bill the customer after removing the billing block from the repair order.

This is a very typical example.
