How to Import Order Line Items

Hello,
My job requires me to key over 50 order line items (per order) and I receive around 400 orders per week. It's pretty tiresome and its not ergonomical.
I was wondering if there's any way I can "Import" order line items from an Excel sheet, instead. For each line item, there are only 3 columns I key in:
- Part #
- Order Qty #
- Inv. Loc #
Other required fields (Order UOM, Handling Type, Lead Time Cat., (Publish) List Price, etc.) will then populate automattically.
My question is whether this is possible?
Any help will me appreciated. I will then ask the IT department to help implement. Thank you.

Importing can be done through EIM, but involves some work by Administrators.
You can also try to do it with an Import Object, but this is not fully supported by Siebel.
Another option would be through Script.

As a last resort you can also add some Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to the Excel sheet.

How to upload sales order line items?

SAPGurus,
For years my customer service department has been asking for a way to upload sales order line items into the VA01 sales order-entry screen.
Many of our customers submit PO's with huge amount of line items, up to 1,000 lines. Our CS reps need to key in the data line by line (or copy/paste
approx 17 lines at once from Excel into the VA01 screen), and we are looking for a way to make this process leaner. One idea we have is that user creates the order header, and then has a way to upload the material numbers and quantities in a separate (newly created Z-transaction) screen in one go.
Obviously rules then need to be built that deal with the various pop-up messages related to e.g. ATP, material status, etc.
Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on how we could achieve this? A way to make the sales order-entry process a bit less time-consuming? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated !
Thank you,
RVS

How to Find Out The Production Order Number For The Sales Order Line Items

Hi All,
I want to know the number of production orders for each sales order line item. I know the sales order number .Can anyone tell me how the tables can be linked to get all the production order numbers for each sales order line item.

I think it depends on your configuration. But check fields KDAUF and KDPOS in table AUFK. or in table AFPO.

How to delete a line item from the sales order

Hi all,
how to delete a line item from the sales order for which the production is already happened and it has been delivered. the production order status is DLV.
Regards
Kumar

Hi
U can do this in two ways one u can short close the order by entering Reason for rejection in VA02 at header level and if yr order is multiple line item order u can enter the reason for rejection in any of the line item which u don't want to deliver.
This is called short close ( as the qty is not delivered fully).
Thx.

How to delete the line item from a sales order

Hi all,
how to delete a line item from the sales order for which the production is already happened and it has been delivered. the production order status is DLV.
Regards
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
I think you can just delete it in the sales order directly, if you are using make-to-order scenario, then there will be special stock left for the sales order as the production has been goods receipt, you need to use MM transaction move the stock to unrestricted use stock. If you are using make-to-stock scenario, there should be no further problem. If you are using assembly order, please try to reject the sales order item to see if it could fullfill your requirement.

How to set Confrimed quantity as 0 in the sales order line item

hi all
i have a requirement that my user dont want to see confirmed quantity in the sales order line item.
scenario is make to order.
i have set strategy group is 20 -make to order
MRP Type is PD
Lot size -
EX , still its showing confirmed quantity.
could pls any one tell me how to set 0 quantity in the sales order line item
thnx

Dear Sateesh,
If the availability check is carried out and stock is not there in our plant, then it will show the confirmed quantity as Zero.
If you don't want to carry out the availability check,
To achieve this,
1. Remove the availability check in the transaction OVZG against your requirement class.
You can find the requirement type assigned to the sale order in the procurement tab.
In OVZH transaction, you can find the requirement class assigned to your requirement type.
2. Remove the availability check for your schedule line category in VOV6.
In the material master MRP3 view, you ll be having Availability check, there you need to specify the availability check..
If you specify it as KP(No check), then it will confirm the qty, though the stock is not there in our plant..
To meet your requirement, you have to prefer user exit.(Correct me if I am wrong)
Thanks,
Venkatesh.S.P

How to show logic of picking multiple stores to fulfill an order line item

I'm still learning some basics with OPA.
How do I represent the logic of picking multiple stores to fulfill an order line item when no one store has the requested quantity? A concrete example would be greatly appreciated as I'm still thinking procedurally for solutions.

Hi!
I believe this is following on from the thread:
Calculating least cost of a product across stores using OPA
So I'm assuming we're using a similar data model.
If we want to involve quantity as well as cheapest price, then I'm assuming the requirement is:
Find the cheapest price for the product from all the stores which still have quantity left of that product.
This is where inferred relationships come in handy.
Here is an example of what you can do with them to help solve this requirement.
the store is a member of the product's stores if
.ExistsScope(the store's prices)
..the price's product name = the product name
the store is a member of the product's stores with remaining stock if
.the store is a member of the product's stores and
..ExistsScope(the store's quantities)
...the quantity's product name = the product name and
...the quantity's amount > 0
Then we basically want to pick the cheapest price for the product from the members of the relationship "the product's stores with remaining stock"
Note that "the product's stores with remaining stock" could obviously be many instances, all with different prices. But for an order, a product needs to come from only one place! The deciding factor to "pinpoint" one place from this potential list of many could be based on anything, such as location, sales ranking, etc. But in this case Im going to assume lowest price is the decider.
In the previous post we created a simple relationship between "the product" and "the prices" (which are contained by the store).
We can make a more powerful relationship now:
the price is a member of the product's available prices if
ForScope(the price's store, the main store)
.the main store is a member of the product's stores with remaining stock
(I'm using an alias here to be 100% sure of which store is in scope)
Now we can use the rules in the previous post, but change the relationship to the more advanced one we just created:
the product's cheapest available price = InstanceMin(the product's available prices, the price's amount)
Then
the product's cheapest available store name = InstanceValueIf(the product's available prices, the price's store name, the price's amount = the product's cheapest available price)
This is all psuedo code so many need some slight tweaks when you put it into OPM. Make sure you set up the relationships in a property file and declare all the attributes etc.
Inferred relationships are really useful as "filters" sometimes. Here we first filtered all the stores which have prices for the product (i.e. have it in their catalogue). Then we filtered to get a list of all the stores which have stock remaining for the product. From that, we could find the cheapest available price.
This is by no means the only way to do it! It's also by no means a simple problem but the great thing about OPA is that you can put all of the relationship config rules in the system rule folder / word doc, meaning that the source / business rules can still look relatively simple (in the end, it only took 2 lines of source rules to find the cheapest available price!). Once you've got the right set up and invested time in designing your data model, you will find it much easier to solve seemingly complex problems across entities.
One word of warning though: if you have thousands of instances of prices, stores, products etc. then there is a performance impact of using many inferred relationships and alternatives should also be considered.
Hope this helps!
Feel free to contact me for more help on this. If you are relatively new to OPA and trying to tackle this you should consider investing in some training.
Cheers,
Ben

Third Party GRN Posting Date to be Copied to Sales Order Line item Billing Date

Hello Experts
I have a client requirement where in they want to bill line items in the sales order ( third party process ) to the end customer in sync with the GRN posting dates happened in the PO
For EG if GRN happened on 1st July 2014 then Billing Date should come in as 31st July 2014 so when they execute VF04 giving from and to dates as 1st july to 31st corresponding sales order can be invoiced
Actual problem is for suppose if i create a sales order in the month of june say 26th basing on the factory calendar setting and invoicing list maintained in the customer master system defaults the billing date to 30th June 2014 , and the same when user runs VF04 from 1st June to 30th June this sales order shows as due and mistakenly end user invoices the customer ( whereas logical GR would have only received in July 1st )
My requirement is similar to below threads but i am unable to find answer how to copy GR Posting date to Billing Date of the sales order line item
use GR Doc date as billing date
3rd party sales process (w/o ship notif) - Billing

Hi Lakshmipathi ji,
As my requirement is to update the billing date at the sales order line item level , As a process user goes in executes VF04
For Ex
Sales Order Created Date is 1st June 2014 then System Defaults Billing Date at line item to 30th June 2014
Now when i do GRN suppose on 1st July 2014 for that line item , system should trigger a code where in check the posting date of the GRN and override the same in the Biiling Date field of the sales order line item
So when VF04 is run for a month All the GRN which are recieved in the month of July are invoiced in July
Please share me your thoughts do we need to check any userexits from MM side which reads the posting date of GRN and then copies in to my third party sales order
Regards

Access control on Sales Orders - Line items

Is it possible to control access to users from deleting line items in sales orders?
(since Julius would reply saying a "YES" or a "NO" , i will complete my question )
If it is feasible to control, could some one make a suggestion on how to do this and help me, please?

Hi Manjula,
Thanks for trying to help and for sending the link, but unfortunately, the link doesnt help me for my question.
the discussion in the link you sent is more on the stock situations that is a mis-match in MD04, when a order line item is rejected then the stock of the line item should be refelcted in MD04 and since this doesnt happen the program was supposed to be eecuted for consistency ==> this was the issue in the link
Now, coming to the problem on hand: If i create a sales order with 25 line items and make a delivery of 22 line items , do a PGI for the 22 and then , i check for the other 3 line items in the Order, realize that the schedule lines in the order are for a date that doesnt meet the date of goods issue of the other 22 items - i delete the 3 line items in the order <== this is what i want to restrict, users shouldnt be able to delete line items of a order that has a subsequent document.
I know i can manage doing this via ABAP based on a few validations on the document flow, but i wanted to know if there is an alternate method of achieving this.
I vaguely remember a situation where i had a user who couldnt enter line items in Purchase orders although he had all required transactions, org,values.......after much research and quite a few trial and error methods i got to a solution by adding/deleting (i dont remember corretly) a parameter value to the user and he could add line items. The curiosity i have is in knowing if there is some parameter value or an other Authorization object, that could help me achieve my objective
Although it could be efficient, ABAP would be my last option
Do keep posting, any help is good help

I have a problem regarding sales order line item with confimed quanity

Hi Experts,
I have a problem regarding sales order line item with confimed quanity with '0' with delivery block but confirming the sales order quantity once the order is released from credit check.
The situation arises as per the below scenarios.
Scenario - 1 - When the sales order has two line item - one line item with confirmed qunaity in the schedule line and for the 2nd line item there is no available stock for the Material xxxxxx.
Initially the sales order is created for the line item 2 with confirmed quantity = 0, and having the delivery block = 01 for the Material xxxxxx and the order is set with credit check. Once the order is relased from the credit check. The quanity for the item 2 where the confirmed quantity will be = 0 ( Where it is not changing the confirmed quantity)
Scenario -2- Updating the order qunaity for the line item 2 as (9Pcs) it will goes to credit check and save the order.
Maintain the stock for the line item 2 ( 5 Pcs).
Once the order is released from the credit check. Then for the line item 2 the confirm quanity will be seting to 5 Pcs with Delivery blcok 01.
This should not happen, When the credit check is released even though if it has stock based on the delivery blockl it should set the confirmed quanity to Zero.
Can you please help me how to solve this issue.
Looking forward for your reply.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
I agree with your point. In the sales order When the complete delivery check box is enabled where the confimed qty is set to zero, it is fine but when we save the orderr it goes to credit check. Once we release the order using VKM3 where in the sales order the confimed quantity is setting to 5, But it should set to Zero quantity. Quatity should not be get confirmed it should be Zero Quantity.
Further in SPRO - customizing in the deliveries blocking reasons - It has a tick mark in the confirmation blcok. But we dont want to remove the - Confirmation Block tick mark
Please any one can help me if you have any solution to solve this problem.
Thanks and Regards.
