Dear Sunny,
As you mentioned, there are other blocks in Sales Document, like:
1. You can define reasons for rejection where you can select what you want to block/reject
Sales and Distribution->Sales->Sales Document Item
2. You can define an incompletion procedure that allows youas well to decide what next activities you want to block. The nice thing here is the fact, that the system automatically blocks/unblocks the order depending if important data is missing or not.
Sales and Distribution->Basic Functions->Log of Incomplete Items
3. If you just want to block the delivery, define a delivery block
Logistic Execution->Shipping->Deliveries->Define reasons for blocking
in shipping
4. If you just want to block the invoice, define a billing block
Sales and Distribution->Billing->Billing Documents->Define blocking reason
for billing
5. You can also block an order by using credit-management. When the customer exceeded his credit-limit the system can block the order unless the Accounting department has either released the ustomer or this specific sales order.
Moreover, You may define Status Profile, to specify your requirement to Block a Sales Document.
T. Code: BS02/ OIBS - Maintain Status Profile
Last, but not the least, customizable options could be defined with -
Include MV45AFZZ or MV45ZFZB contains User-Exit: USEREXIT_CHECK_VBKD
Hope, this may help you, some extent.
Best Regards,
Amit
