User Requirement

Blocked Sales Order so that PR would not be generated

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to improve the process of Advance payment customer + non stock item. For example,
customer has not paid the advance payment yet (credit blocked), we will not want to place PO/stock
order to bring stocks from manufacturing plant till advance payment received.

So far, CSO has to communicate via email or chat with supply chain to request not to place stock
order, however there is mistake happened and sometimes we forgot.

I would like to know if there is a way that sales order still reflect the demand in MD04, but “blocked”
and not to generate PR till we received prepayment and CSO released blocked.

For example, I created SO 3385912387, how to stop this generating PR? Is there a way we could
block the rest of process till we received advance payment?

Hoping your kind assistance!!


I am always available via MS Teams and WebEx, Monday to Thursday – 8am to 5pm; Friday – 8am
to 1pm, (UAE - GMT+4)

Internal
Requirement

Blocked sales order should not create PR but the requirements should display in MD04. Once the
sales order got released the PR should create against the Sales order.

Currently user is using ZTEN item category for sales order which is having VAT.

Internal
Sales order is blocked while creating it, which we can see in document status.

Until the credit is release the PR should not be created.

Then user is releasing the credit lock in system FSCM that is getting updated in Z2L system.

After Release the PR should be created against the sales order.

Internal
Proposed Solution

By using the below configuration we can stop creating the PR against the sales order but we can
display the requirement in MD04.

To create a new item category (VOV7/ OVZI) > Requirement type (OVZH) > Requirement class
(OVZI) with the no MRP field as – 1 Requirement not planned but displayed

The sales order should be created with new custom item category when the order is blocked and to
change it to ZTEN when the sales order is released from finance system FSCM.

Response

But user is not willing to do it manually. Whenever the sales order got released the item category to
be changed automatically.

So they are asking us to create a user story and to proceed further with change request.
