X-distribution-chain material status for blocking Sales order DNs

[josephanandb-2]

We are using Cross-distribution-chain material status (MARA-MSTAV) to block deliveries (TVMS-SPVBJ =B). However, the requirenment is to block only the sale order based DN and NOT STO DNs . DNs for STOs should be allowed Is there is a way to achieve this in standard config ?

If not do we have any user exit /BADI to achieve this requirement

Thanks in advance for your response .

I can think of at least 4 ways to achieve what you ask with standard configuration.

What have you tried so far?

Hello Veselina,

what are these ways you mentioned?

Kind regards

Sorry for the confusion. We want to block DNs created from Salles order. STOs DNs should be allowed .

[VeselinaPeykova]

You got me confused... in your question you mentioned, that you wish to:

block only the sale order based DN and NOT STO DNs. DNs for STOs should be allowed 

In your answer you mention the exact opposite:

We are looking for blocking STO DNs created from VL10B against Purchase orders 

Which one of these do you need to block?

Thanks Veseline for the inputs . We are not using separate distribution channel for intercompany transfers. Also, we won't be able to implement this at this change. We are looking for blocking STO DNs created from VL10B against Purchase orders .

This is probably a stupid thing to ask, but are you not using separate distribution channels for haulage and regular sales? I you are using separate VTWEG, then this should be an easy thing to solve by using distribution channel-specific statuses.

Also, why don't you just block the material from being used in sales orders, you are not going to deliver it, anyway.

Probably, I am missing some important aspect of your business process, but unless you are using heavily VL01NO (which can be fine-tuned by using specific item category groups and item category determination), I don't see a compelling reason to have this block for delivery status or to request budget for development.
