Listings and exclusions

[Former Member]

How do you prevent a product Hierarchy or Material from being distributed to countries without setting up a specifc exclusion record for each of those countries. From what I understand, if I set up a listing for one country it does not prevent the material from being distributed to all the other countries in the system. If I set up one material listing (say a bogus material or product hierarchy) for a country then no other materials could be shipped to that country. That seems like a lot of work and there should be an easier solution.

Thanks ahead for your help.

Material listing applies to two partner functions in Sales & Distribution: the sold-to party and the payer.

In the standard version of the SAP R/3 system, when the sold-to party and payer are different, the material listing check is as follows:

If the sold-to party has a material listing, the system only checks this listing (no other check takes place).

The material listing for a sold-to party can include materials that do not appear in the material listing for the payer (for example, in the case of materials that are rarely ordered or only in exceptional cases)

If there is no listing for the sold-to party, but a listing has been created for the payer, the system automatically checks the payer’s listing.

If no material listing data exists for either the sold-to party or payer, then the customer may order any material

I am looking for a way to have a material or product hierachy only ship to certain countires (5 countires). I do not want to have to create listing/exclusion records for all customers (>2000) to prevent that product from shipping to those countries. Even creating exclusion for all countries in the SAP system would be far too many to input.
