Sales order and Production order status

[evgeny_markin]

Hi Colleagues,

We need to use sales order status functionality, so that when sales manager set status , for example, "dont produce" a production order can not be released.

Has any one dealt with that?

Thank you.

Dear,

You can give the reason for cancellation of Sales Order item & block the sales order. When the sales order will get block it will get disappear from MD04 so in next MRP run if there is any planned order it will get deleted. But suppose by that time you had converted the Planned order in Production Order you will get Exception message no. 20 in MD04 list. So this means that there is no requirement & order should be cancel.

Still you want to have restriction of checking the Sales order is open or not, then i hope you are working in MTO scenario & every production order is created w.r.t SO. You can use following Exit in such case.

PPCO0021 Enhancement for Order Release

Exit - EXIT_SAPLCOZR_003.

Hi Abhijit,

Thank you for prompt reply. I thought there is a standard solution, but user exit is ok.

We are working with MTO strategy.

In its nature the strategy is planning with out final assembly. Sales manager place a sales order which is trigger for procurement and production of components. But in case a client didn't made an advance payment the final assembly should not start. So sales manager is quite flexible in terms of production trigger.

Ok I got you scenario. But to my knowledge you have to work through exit only or You keep an eye on Exception message. Do not convert Prod Ord if exception message is 20.
