Selecting multiple products at a time in the sales order

Hello Gurus,
Is there a way we can select multiple items at the same time in the sales order..
User wants to select multple items at the same time.... any possibility???
Regards,
Pavan P.

Hi Pavan,
If I understand you correctly, you'd like a predefined list of items you can pick from during order processing?
Have you tried Item Proposal?
Create the Item Proposal type (T Code: VOV8).
Then create the item list (TCode: VA51). You can call this list everytime you create the sales order (doc. type defined and assigned by you)
Use the "Proposed Items" button (first one on the header, extreme left) to pick from the list and have multiple items entered at one go.
Hope this was useful.
Cheers.

  • Select multiple Products at a time

    Hi,
    While creating a new Sales Order in CRM, when you press F4 on Product ID field, we get multiple products on search help screen. we can select only one at a time.  But requirement is to select multiple Products at a time and they need to be copied to the sales order at item level. How to acheive this?

    Hi ,
      After enhancing the view update the below piece of code.There it will be selmode_single u change that value for multiple selection.
    typed_context->Your context Node->set_selection_mode( iv_selection_mode = cl_bsp_wd_context_node_tv=>selmode_multiedit ).

  • I've noticed that in the new version of Firefox that you cannot save multiple tabs at one time like the previous Firefox 3.6.or so and I wanted to know if I can find that feature again?

    I've noticed that in the new version of Firefox that you cannot save multiple tabs at one time like the previous Firefox 3.6.or so and I wanted to know if I can find that feature again?
    In the previous versions of Firefox when you went to you Bookmarks menu it gave you the options to either Bookmark This Page 'command' + 'D', Subscribe to this Page, Bookmark All Tabs 'up-arrow-key' + 'command' + 'D', and Organize Bookmarks 'up-arrow-key' + 'command' + 'B' however in the newest version of Firefox there is no Bookmark All Tabs so you can bookmark all the tabs that you have up in one window at a time. So I need to know if it is possible that the feature is now in a different place, is gone altogether, or if you can get that feature another way?
    For me personally and my work I go through hundreds of web pages a day and save around half of those so it is imperative that I be able to bookmark more then one tab at a time because I can't be bothered to bookmark every single page separately and then go through hundreds of tabs in my Unsorted bookmarks in order to sort those bookmarks. It is simple inconvenient to sort every bookmark individually that is why the previous version of Firefox with the Bookmark All Tabs button was superior in its convenience.

    Right click any tab and choose "Bookmark All Tabs".

  • Production Order and Internal Order for each item of the sales order

    Hi
       I am developing Make To Order Report where I have to display the MTO Line Items and non MTO Line Items. For non MTO Line Items I have to display Internal order with Planned and Actual Costs and also Production Order with Planned and Actual Costs. Could anybody tell how to get the Internal order no and production order with Planned and Actual costs for each line item for a sales order.
    Thanks
    Naga

    Hi,
    You can get the Production orders, Planned orders, Internal orders generated for Sales order item from AFPO table (use fields KDAUF-Sales order number & KDPOS-Sales order item). Then to identify the order type use order category (AUTYP) from table AUFK.
    Once you have the Production/internal order, you can ge the cost from COSS and COSP table. Use the object number from AUFK to get the cost entries from COSS & COSP.
    You can use the following sample code as reference.
    Hope this is helps.. (Don't forget to mark it... )

  • Availability Check at Multiple Plants for the Sales Order line Item.

    Hi Friends,
    We are having two plants, Plant A and Plant B. Plant A is used to issue the orders to the vendors and stock them, while Plant B is used to manufacture the Product and Stock.
    When we create the sales order, we want to check the Current Stock Plus Incomming Purchase order stock for plant A and also check current stock plus Production orders in plant B.
    for ex if the current stock is 100 in Plant A and No physical stock in Plant B but there are some production orders for 400 Qty which will be ready in 1 week.
    If i create a sales order for 500 qty which is scheduled for delivery 10 days later.  then we want to commit to the customer ( Looking at both the plants stock situation )  the system should check the stock availability for both the plants and automatically create two different line items , Line item 1 for plant A and line item 2 for plant b.
    I know there is a user exit for Multiple plant selection USEREXIT_PLANT_SELECTION  in program RV03VFZZ. The Description of the USer exit says ( This user exit may be used to provide a list of plants for which availability is to be checked)  But we have never used this one. Will this user exit do exactly what i want ??
    Did any of you, have used the above User exit in your implementations ? If so please let me know whats the purpose of this user exit
    Your reply is much appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards
    Srinivas

    Hi
    I dont know about the userexit which you are referring about
    But this is not available in R3 The system makes a Availability Check only in the plant which has got determined in the item details shipping tab and stops there
    The same is available in APO
    If there are 2 plants say 1000 and 2000
    In sales order the plant determined is 1000 and there is no stock
    In R3 system stops there
    But in APO  system checks the plant 2000 and if stocks are available it creates an STO in the background automatically from 2000 to 1000 if configured accordingly
    Even if the material is maintained in 10 plants the system will make a  Availability Check at all 10 plants and act accordingly

  • Product hierarchy  is not being maintained in the sales order material

  • What to do with the Sales Order once the Production Order is TECO?

    Hi everybody,
    What to do after a Production Order is confirmed, GI, GR, and the Production Order is Technically Complete?
    In MD04, I can still see the Sales Order, and I can see also the line with CSTOCK (Customer Stock).
    What to do now to complete the scenario?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rudy.

    Thank you!
    But I get the following message in VL01N:
    "No schedule lines due for delivery up to the selected date "
    What does it mean exacly?
    I have a Confirmed Production Order.
    I have a quantity in CSTOCK.
    So, what is missing here?

  • Alternative BOM picking at the time of creating sales order.

    Dear All,
    I have on requirment and it is as follows.
    I have 3 alternative BOMS for one material in same plant.Now sales order is created for this materila which alternatibe BOM will system pick.
    If there any possibility to customise alternative BOM picking at the time of creating sales order.Please let me know what settings do I need to configure for this.
    Thanks for your support and time.
    With Rgds,
    Babu

    hi,
    this is to inform you that,
    1. since you have 3 alternative BOM's.  so by default system will pick up that BOM which is first according to hirearchy level at the plant level.
    alternatively if the same material is going to be used for different purpose (PRODUCTION OR PLANNING), SECOND ALTRENATIVE bom will be picked.
    2. you will have to assign the BOM which you want to pick add it to the picking list (ASSEMBLY OF THE PRODUCTS/COMPONENTS).
    in CO27 - maintain the range of components at component level with plant as same for which you have already created a BOM.
    create a sales order according - that alternative BOM will be directly assigned to the sales order.
    please check and confirm.

  • 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.

  • In the Production Order, Sales Quotation is displayed not the Sales Order

    Hello to All,
    I need a kind help from you.
    My scenario is as follows
    There is a Configurable Material (Finished Product)
    Sales quotation (VA21/2/3) were made for this material.
    Sales Order (VA01/2/3) with reference from the Sales Quotation were made for this same material.
    Now when I run the MRP (MD02) for this material, Planned Orders were created.
    Planned orders were converted to the Production Order.
    In the Production Order (say in Display mode), under the 'General' tab, there is a segment called 'Sales order'. In this segment, the sales order is being displayed if the Production Order is created for a sales order (MTO scenario).
    But, in my case, the Sales Quotation number is being displayed instead of the Sales order.
    My Issue which need your answers:
    Is it a standard SAP scenario?? I mean, if the production order is created for a sales order and again if the sales order is created earlier with reference to a sales quotation, then in the production order, the Sales quotation is displayed. Is it a standard?? Or it is showing wrongly? I mean, is it like that, always the sales order should be displayed in the Production order and not the sales quotation??
    Please suggest so that I can overcome this problem, if at all it is a problem.
    Some More Inputs (For your analysis/research):
    1. After the MRP run of the material the Planned Order is created. I have checked the planned order, and found tha the assignment of sales document (in this case Quotation) is done in the Planned order itslef. It is visible wthin the "Assigmnet" tab of the Planned Order.
    2. For the analysis purpose, I created one stand-alone Sales Order for the same material. I mean, without reference from any Sales Quotation. Then, when I run the MRP (md02), the Planned Order and then production order were created normally, with reference to the Sales order. This just for your kind information.
    3. I have checked the pegged requirement of the Production order in the MD04. It is showing the Sales order itself. But, if I see the production order (CO02/O03), it shows sales quotation.
    User Requirement:
    Evenif, the sales order is created with reference to a Sales Quotation, after MRP run, in the Planned and thereby subsequent production order, the Sales Order should display and not the Sales quotation.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Supriyo

    Hi
    Since your scenario is configurable material,  the system takes the reference of sales quotation only. Because the in case of configurable materials the sales quotation is the base and based on the sales quotation the sales order is created and subsequent production order.
    This is std SAP and for configurable materials the sales quotation is deciding factor
