You can use t-code <b>MI32 </b>- Batch Input: Block Material

Hi

If you want a material to be blocked, go to the Basic data 1 view of the material,there in the general data you have " X-plant material status ". Also in Cost estimate 1 view of the material you have Plant Specific Material status. Use the options available to block the material in these two views.

You cannot use the material in sales order

Use the material exclusion function:

FUNCTIONALITY:

SD> Master data > Products > Listing/Exclusion> Create

( Tcodes VBO1, VB02, VB03)

Enter the list/exclusion type B001: For the required

customer:

Enter Maintain materials > Save > Exit

Create the order and enter material excluded to test exclusion.

CONFIGURATION: IMG SETTINGS

For IMG settings; Go to IMG > SD > Basic Functions>Listing/Exclusion

ENsure that the listing/exclusion procedure is activated for your order type. You can also create your own condition types access sequences and procedures or use the SAP provided ones.

Additionally, another option is the sales block in the material master...

It is in one of the two sales data tabs and you are able to configure specific blocks that allow it to be entered on credits but not on orders, blocked from all activity, allowed for quotes only, etc. It is one setting that becomes sales area specific and can easily be removed if you change your mind. It also has an effectivity date that can be used.

Hi atul ,

Material can be blocked for many applications ..like :

1. Material block for other users :

In this activity you define for each checking group and initiator whether the material master record should be blocked for other orders during the availability check. If it is blocked, you cannot create two orders for the same material at the same time.

Using the Initiator field you can define the block separately for sales and shipping.

2.Material block for invoice verification :

In this acitivity , you specify at what point materials are blocked in Invoice Verification:

During the allocation phase, all materials present in the invoice are blocked.

During simulation or posting, materials whose stocks are to be changed are blocked and are read again.

Materials whose stocks are to be changed, are blocked and are read again when you post.

When you post directly to a material, the given material is blocked immediately in all settings.

To block the material you can do the setting during allocation phase.

3.Material block for other goods movement :

In this step, you set the type of material block to be used for goods movements. You have the following options:

Exclusive block

Late blocl.....these are the standard locks available in the system...

reward ;pints if useful...
