Change ship-to location after releasing SO

[Former Member]

Hi Expert,

Please give me some advice.

If we need to change ship-to locaiton of line item after releasing SO, how to change it.

Because, we already created POR based on this SO. In that case, do we need to cancel all process(Cancel PO and Cancel SO)?

I'd like to change "sihp-to" location in just SO. But, as far as I know, it is impossible...

Dear Mr. Ichida,

When a sales order is created, in the backend a snapshot of the document is created and all master data like account, currency, priority etc which is used as reference in all future referencing.

So you cannot just change the ship to in SO if it is released for further processing. You will to cancel the subsequent document and bring the sales order to in-preparation/open status to make relevant changes.

Dear Mr. Ichida,

The process you follows from my understanding is "SO - > Run Supply Plan -> Purchase Proposal -> Puchase Order Request"

In this case, you will not be able to cancel the PR are at "purchase request and purchase order processing" ---------> Purchase Requests level. As the source for this PR is SO, the cancellation request has to come from SO iteself.

Kindly note that you can update ship-to at header level in SO but it wont affect your PR already created.

So the ideal work-around to your situation is as follows

1. Change the ship to of your sales order at header level.

2. Set reason for rejection for the SO item already released resulting in creation of POR.

3. Add a new line item similar to item rejected where the ship to will be set the address you required.
