How to post a Draft Sales Order for Business Partner on hold

Hi Experts,
I hope you can help me with a question I have using 8.81 PL07.
I know that the inactive / active functionality changed with 8.8 so that when a BP is inactive it no longer appears in the Choose From lists.
Prior to 8.8 when a Customer was on hold we could still raise Draft SO's for them, which we could then add once the Customer was taken off hold.
How do I do this in 8.81 please?
Thanks very much,
Caroline

Hello Caroline,
I have found sap note: 1411244 this desribes these "new" functionality.
"Item, business partner, and account "Choose from List" windows no longer show inactive objects. "
So the answer for your question is: from version 8.8 is not possible to record any draft documents on Business Partners are on hold.
Regards,
János

How to find out last update date for business partner's marketing attribute

How to find out last update date for business partner's marketing attribute??
Im freshie for SAP Application and im assigned to find out last update date for marketing attribute changed
which table is involved??
Yours kindness will be appreciated
thanks

You can take a look at table AUSP as well as CRMD_AUSP_HIST.
The "changed by" and "changed at" are logged on attribute level, not on attribute value level. When you change one specific value, the system does a "re-insert" of all existing values of this attribute.
Take a look at the SAP notes 938426 and 966670 these may assit you in resolving the issue.

Sales order for pipeline material type..

Hi All,
How can we raise the sales order for pipeline material..
Is schedule lines will be there for the sales order raised for pipeline material???
Rgds,
Pavan

Hi
Seems you working on IS Utilities, please corerct if Wrong and if I am wrong to guess you are working on IS Utilities then the next story dosn't make any sence.
PIPEline material type is used for Materials such as oil, power, or water that flow into the production process directly from a pipeline, line, or other type of conduit. Since pipeline materials are always available, they are not planned.
To answer specifically what you asked would be as follows:
1. The fact that material type is PIPE from an SD standpoint is irrelevant
2. lets consider your PIPEline material is power, your UOM should be Kilowatt hours and establish price for it.
3. "deliver" the material and bill it.
However, taking the whole business context of sale of electricity into account why you want to sell PIPEline material without using IS Utilities. Typically electrical utiltity requirements have some unique challenges not easily met by SD:
1. Amount to be billed to the customer is from meter readings.
2. The bill to the customer ( at least in North America) is not so much of an invoice as opposed to statement of accounts that includes meter readings, consumption history etc.
I will suggest to look into IS Utilties first before getting into SD.

How to update the condition price in the sales order for all the items

Hi,
How to update the condition price for all the itmes in the sales order to carry out the new price automatically through a stand alone program, for all the orders in the billing due list table?
Thanks,
Balaram

Hi,
There is a change in the requirement.
Scenario:
I have created a sales order with some 4 condition types, in that 2 condition types are of class A & B and the other two is of class C. Here I need to update the condition price of class A & B only and the remaining condition types should not get update even though there is an updated price is available.
For the above scenario, I need to write a standalone program. Do we have any function modules to update the price of the single condition in the sales order? Please tell me how we can update the sales order at item condition level.
Thanks.

How to find the Open sale orders till date for given plant and material ?

Hi experts,
                 I have a requirement to calculate the open sale orders for a given plant and material. I have tried in VA05 wherein i can get only for the material and sales area combination. From the document nos obtained from VA05 i can then find the plant. But my question is how do i get the output of VA05 into my progra. (can i use submit for a module pool report ).
Also if ther is some other standard table or Function module to find the open sale orders till a given date ,it will be even more helpful....in which case i can drop the VA05 route.
Kindly help
Thanks in advance
Ashwin

Hi Ashwin,
    You can use SAP Tables VBAK and VBUP to get to know if the document is complete or not.
   VBUK-GBSTK is the field that will give you the status of the Sales Order .
VBUK is used at header level , whereas VBUP is used for Item level.
So in your case what I would do is :
Get the Sales Orders that satisy the plant and material criteria from VBAP table , take this Sales Document numbers and go to VBUK or VBUP table to get the Sales Order Status.
   If I need to find the open quantity as well I will link to VBFA table based on the document number.
Reward if helpful.
Thanks,
Imran

MTO - how to prevent a second planned order for a sales order?

Dear friends,
We are working on Make to Order process (Planning strategy group 20).
No Production/process order is used
Shop floor uses a different system --> details from planned order is passed to the shop floor system; and finished product is delivered/posted into SAP Sales order stock - through interfaces
No QM in place
A typical day-to-day scenario
Sales order Qty = 100
MRP Run à Planned order qty = 100
Raw materials posted to Sales order stock
Planned order is firmed
For example if Produced qty = 90
sales order stock of the finished product = 90
Balance 10 cannot be produced / delivered for various reasons
Planner posts the raw material to cost center / rejections / own stock etc., and ensures that the sales order stock of the raw materials are zero.
Planner deletes the planned order
Next MRP run triggers a new planned order for the balance qty 10
Now, the requirement is to prevent the new planned order getting generated for the balance quantity, during the subsequent MRP run (despite the shortage in the Sales order stock of the finished product).
The following options have been evaluated
Once the final good receipt is done & before deleting the planned order,
o       Change the Sales order quantity to match the total produced quantity
o       (or) Change the schedule line category for the Sales order item from CP to CN
§         Since the Sales order and planned order are handled by different teams, considering the frequency of correspondence/coordination needed between these two teams to get the sales order items corrected, this idea is not accepted
§         Additional authorization for the planner to change the sales order item is not acceptable
Include Under delivery / Unlimited tolerances
o       at the customer (master) level
o       (or) Sales order level
§         In this case, System seems to consider the tolerances only when the delivery for the Sales order is posted; and not when the sales order stock is received within the tolerance limits;
§         Considering the time gap between the GR and Delivery of the finished product, this option is not accepted
Kindly suggest the other options / settings / processes, to meet this requirement
Thank you for your time and efforts.
With Best Regards,
Senthil

How to block Sales order for any overdue balance.

There is a need to change SAP setting for blocked Sales Order for due balance. Current SAP setting : block is valid only for "over due
more than 30 days".
The requirement is to block order based on any overdue amount say For example : if we have due balance for 1 day, than system should block the SO.
In current credit management settings applied, there is Static check ( C ) and Oldest open item (C ) with Days oldest item =30 days. Kindly suggest as what changes should be made to reflect the desired changes. Also , help in confirming the thought that Static check itself considers the OPEN ITEMS, so if i am activating static check and REMOVES THE OLDEST OPEN ITEm, will it take any overdue amount automatically and block subsequently. To add to it kindly explain, what is the use of this additional check of Oldest Open Item ( with days = X days ) for creit mngt. can't we maintain it by Static check.
Kindly guide as what to change in OVA8 to have this. All feeedbacks are highly appreciated.

The user want to block SO for 2 types below. System must block SO if the credit limit is exceeded and/or the payment is overdue
Currently Two credit checks in OVA8
1- Static check
2- Payment Overdue check by Oldest Open Item ( 30 Days limit is set)
But, now for SO block due to payment overdue need to be changed from 30 days overdue to any day overdue.
How to acheive the above , Also kindly confirm that Static check contains OPEN ITEMS so Won't static check only carry the functionality to block SO for ANY DAY OVERDUE.
Any feedback is highly appreciable.

How can we reject a Sales order after first Down payment invoice for Italy?

Hello,
As a legal requirement in Italy the Down paymenty have to be transformed into real invoices, another legal requirement is that an invoice cannot be cancelled it has to reversed by a credit memo.
I would like to know in this context how we can reject a sales order line once a Down payment invoice has been emitted.
When I do enter a reason for rejection in the sales order line I receive the message : V1036: Subsequent documenst exist for item XXX and then V2432 Cancellation not possible. Down payment request already created.
I can create a down payment credit memo in order to cancel the down payment invoice but how can I get rid of my SD requirement in MD04 if I cannot reject the sales order line?

Hello,
have you tried using a recjection code which is not relevant for billing?

How a sales order for a MTO sku can always have required date populated bas

Hi,
how a sales order for a MTO sku can always have required date populated based on full lead time ?
Thanks,
Raja

Hi,
If you run MRP against sale order by tcode MD50, system will generate planned order.
System will generate basic or lead time scheduling depends on MRP run parameter selected in initial screen of MRP run.
If you select lead time scheduling, system will time from routing and thus generate scheduled start date & finish date.
If your requirement date say 10/08/08. Lead time 10 days. So system create scheduled start date on 01/08/08 during MRP run.

How to cummulate sales orders for creating one planned order.

Hello friends,
My scenario is make to stock. I use sales orders for creating plan only. I want to cummulate all sales orders of one finish material and create one planned order for that material when i run mrp. How can i do this?
Thanks

Kiran,
What is the planning strategy you are using?
Does all the sales order requirment same? If it is same then it is possible. Please explain more in details. If not you need to look at using some perodic lotsize procedure to combine requirments. Like "Daily", Weekly" "Month" etc..
