Sale order document flow-u0091Service Documentsu0092 is coming which should't aper

New Issue with Sales order document flow:
When linking from a sales order in document flow, we were reviewing why the description information varied. In looking at different values, we clicked on a new item within document flow that allows you to like to Service Documents. This is new in 6.0, or it was previously deactivated in 4.6C. If you link from a sales order to a service document, in ECC 6.0, you will get a short dump because the document flow is so great (viewing order #any in VA03 and use document flow and then select the service documents button as seen on the screen below
A Short dump will occur in program SAPLDOCUMENT_FLOW_ALV.
Here in ECC 6.0 is how it looks from sales order 9806:
Documents created from 2004 through 2007 are coming up as linked to this sales order and that is incorrect. There is some type of linkage issue. In the 4.6 C environments, the service documents link is not visible from document flow.
Can any body functional / technical Help on this urgent???

Hi Sanjay,
Go to the order VA03 --> Environment --> status overview. The exact status of the header and item can be found here. You may have chances to know why the status is being processed.
Also
Check whether you have checked 'document flow update' field at item level in copy control
Check your settings for completion rule in item category
If it is due to incorrect status message, run report SDVBUK00. That might fix the error. It is recommended to run this first in test mode.

Sales order document flow error

we do credit memo for one sales order, in the sales order document flow, the credit memo accounting document's status is not cleared. how can we changed it to be cleared?

Hi,
Clearing will be done by finance after the payment is given to the customer. This clearing is done by transaction F-22.
VKM3 is used for releasing document blocked for credit management and not for clearing the accounting document.

Contract not visible in sales order document flow

Hi
I am supposed to create sales order from Contract.The requirement is that only header data should be copied.Thus In Copy Control configuration I did not maintain item level and schedule line level settings for these document types. The issue is that after running the whole cycle from Contract -->SO --> Delivery --> Invoice when I see the Sales Order document flow I can see all other documents but not the contract.Also In Contract document flow I can see only sales order but not delivery and invoice.Please guide.

Hello,
Update Document Flow option is available only at Item Level in copy control setting from Contract to Sales Order.
Check out your Copy Control Records at Item Level. There would be "2" mentioned in "pdate document flow" box.
2 means Create doc. flow records except for dely/goods issue/billdoc. Here you to maintain "X" for Complete Document flow.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

Sales Orders not flowing in COPA if Credit block is set

We are implementing COPA for reporting in BW. The Billing information is flowing well in COPA. However, we have one issue with Sales Orders. Here is the scenario:
When we create a new Sales Order without any credit blocks, the information is flowing to COPA Tables in R/3. However, if the Sales Order is blocked for Credit reasons, then the Sales Order information is not available in COPA. The moment the Credit block is released we are able to see the info in COPA Tables.
The requirement is to have the Sales Order information availabe in COPA no matter what. Is there a way via which we can make the Sales Order info flow in COPA the moment it is created, no matter it has any blocks.
Any info on this is highly appriciated.
Thanks

Hi expwrs please help me on this issue. One PO is incorrectly showing in other sale order document flow and there is no relationship between PO and sale order. Why it is showing incorrectly.

Sales order document flow and delivery document flow are not in sunc

Hi ,
whan I look at the Sales order document flow there are lot of line items rejected with specific reason , but for the same line items already delivery and PGI in place . When we try to do the invoice it shows error , it can't be invoiced because line items in sales order are rejected .
Ideally in business when delivery and PGi created for the sales order , it should not allow the line item to reject . system should look at follow on documents in place . Reverse process should follow .
Pls provide solution to stop item rejection when follow on delivery document in place .
thanks and regards.
Sunil Tripathy

Hi,
Goto the T.Code "VOV7".
Select your item category.
Details.
Maintain the Completion rule as "A(Item is completed with the first reference)".
Save.
If you do this after the follow on document is created,the item is completed and you cannot reject the item.
For your second question,
Goto the T.Code "VTLA".
Select your valid combination.
Click on item.Select your item category.Details.
There is a check box called as "Update document flow".Tick that one.
Save.

Sales order approval workflow

Hi,
I am new to workflow. I have to implement sales order approval process in sap.
Below are my queries:
1) Can anyone tell me that is there any standard method for "approval" available in BOR.
2) Organization level should be derived from the custom table in sap depending on the input coming to workflow.
So how i can implement this process?
3) Is there any possibility to approve the sales order through e-mail. If yes then how to do that.
Can anyone suggest any example for this.
Thanks in Advance.
Sumit

Hi Sumit,
There are standard Objects available in BOR for sales order you can extend that object type and use a
new method for Approval process check object BUS2032.
You can forward your workitem through email maintain settings in SCOT and SOST.

Invoice/billing document Number not appearing on sales order document flow

Dear all,
After saving the sales order invoice when i check in va02 sales order document flow invoice number is not generating

Really something is wrong in your configuration. When your delivery status shows Being Processed, I could see subsequent two documents, viz.Confirmation of Service and GD doc reference as complete.
Can you let me know how many line items that delivery contains? The reason for this query is normally, for stock item, we see Material Document reference and for non-stock item, we see Confirmation of service. But in your case, I could see both. From your VBFA table screen shot, I could see two different material document references.

Work flows...Sales order approval

How to trigger the workflow after creating the Sales order n send the SO for approval through Mail?

Hi,
If that Workflow, Matches your Requirement.
Activate the workflow and test it.
Once you created a Sales Order you want the workflow to trigger right.
Do the following steps,
1) Create sales order
2) Goto t.code SWEL, give the user id from which created the
Sales order in 'Creator (User)' & Execute it.
3) You will find the Business Object (BO) and event, if your workflow is active it will come under the 'Name of Receiver Type'
4) Once you activated the workflow you can find it below the 'Name of Receiver Type'.
Activating the Workflow.
1) Goto T.code SWDD -- Give the workflow number
2) Goto Basic data (Ctrl+F8) --> 'Start Events' Tab and click the active button, Once it active it will become green if it not active it will become Grey.

Issue in Updating Sales Order Document flow

Hi Experts,
We have developed a Z Program for posting Material document for the deliveries of Sales Order. This program runs in Batch job everyday.
Here we are getting an issue like in some of the cases it's not updating the Document flow of the Sales order though its Posting Material Document for the Delivery of Sales Order. If there will be a bulk amount of data then its creating issue in updating the Document flow ( Either the 1st set of record or last set of records).
We are using BAPI 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE' for posting Material Document for the delivery and FM 'RV_DOCUMENT_FLOW_UPDATE_U' for updating the document flow.
It seems it giving issue with bulk amount of data. Will it a time issue?
If any one have faced such issue, please throw some pointers.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Priyabrata.

It could be a timing issue. After you create the material document, try to enque the material document and move to the next step only if the enque is successful. Keep trying to enque the material document until u are successful. But make sure you exit the loop after certain number of tries to avoid endless loops. Here is a sample code:
DO 20TIMES.
    CALL FUNCTION ;'ENQUEUE_EMMKPF'
      EXPORTING
        MODE_MKPF      = co_e
       MBLNR          = xxxxx
      MJAHR           = xxxx
      EXCEPTIONS
        foreign_lock   = 1
        system_failure = 2
        OTHERS         = 3.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
dequeue/unlock the notification again
      CALL FUNCTION DEQUEUE_EMMKPF
        EXPORTING
          MODE_MKPF= co_e
       MBLNR          = xxxxx
      MJAHR           = xxxx
     EXIT.
    ELSE.
in case of no success, wait 1 seconds, before try again
      CALL FUNCTION 'RZL_SLEEP'
        EXPORTING
          seconds        = 1
        EXCEPTIONS
          argument_error = 1
          OTHERS         = 2.                               "#EC *
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.

Purchase Requisition Against Sales Order Required Flow

Dear All,
I want to create Purchase Requisition against the Sales order user Defined committed quantity (i.e in Mtr) and on the basis of Purchase requisition i want to create Purchase Order.
Here the Purchase order is standalone or we can take the reference of one or more than one Purchase Requisition no.,
Please help me out to map the perfect flow of this scenario to map purchase requisition.
Note: we can also able to generate standalone Purchase Order.
Regards,
Sumeet Vaity

Hi Sumeet Vaity
Use SAP B1 8.81 . Purchase Requisition available in SAP B1 8.81. You not need to make Purchase Requisition AddOn update your product and use it . if u want to developed add on for lower version so u can install 8.81 and can take idea about it.

By standard configuration itr is not possible.
You ought to have user exit in place.
For DC A & B, where you need a redetermination of pricing component, take help of an ABAPer for user exit USEREXIT_XKOMV_FUELLEN (module pool SAPLV61A, program RV61AFZB).
So now, for DC C, you need to change the copying control in VTFL - item, where your pricing type ought to be D-Copy pricing elements unchanged.
Regards
JP
ASSUMPTION: I assume that your all DC uses the same Sales Doc type & Billing Doc type

Sales Order document Flow in Reports

Hi All,
I am develoing a Custom Sales Order report in ALV. Here the requirement is to include the Document Flow for the line item. This should be similar to the Icon in VA03 transaction. When I click this icon in my report, it should display the document flow (same as that of available in VA03 transaction). Can you suggest how can I get Document Flow icon in my Report?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards Munna.

Just to save time for others who have the same requirement , use below, fill the structure with sales order and other details. Leave the posnr blank if you need document flow , else fill the posnr if it is item level.
CALL DIALOG 'RV_DOCUMENT_FLOW'
        EXPORTING
             VBCO6      FROM VBCO6
             MAKT-MAKTX FROM SPACE
             KNA1-KUNNR FROM kunnr2000
             KNA1-NAME1 FROM name
             MAKT-MATNR FROM SPACE
             IVKORG     FROM VKORG
             IVTWEG     FROM VTWEG.
No custom screen required, no tree control required, no coding required except that you need to call this at right place in your module pool/ report etc. SAP internally uses this for display in SAPMV45A.
Hope it helps.
Regards/Ajay
