item number in sales order versus delivery not equal

[Former Member]

Hello Guru's,

Please help me solve this problem, i created a sales order with 6 items in it and save it. Before I create the delivery I deleted the sales order item number 1,2 and 3 so the item that was redy for delivery are sales order items nubmer 4,5 and 6. When i created a delivery for this materials the item number that was in it is not 4,5,6 but 1,2,3 so the item number 4 in the sales order was considered as the 1st item in teh delivery. What will I do in order that when i create a delivery for a sales order it will capture the item number maintained in the sales order.

example :

sales order-

item material number material description

1 123 abc deleted

2 456 def

3 789 ghi

delivery

1 456 def

2 789 ghi

it should be

delivery

2 456 def

3 789 ghi

please help..

thanks.

Hi,

The setting is in the copycontrols of the sales order to the delivery document.

Go to T.Code: VTLA

and go from display to change mode

then double click on the LF - OR (your equivalent document types)

There is a check box for "Copy Item Number", tick it.

It will solve the problem. It wil copy the item numer from sales order to delivery document.

Hi

Instead of deleting the line items 1,2and3 in the sales order, please put a reason for rejection for those three line items in the order. Then create the delivery. Hope it works as required by you. I have never tired this but pl try and post the result.

Thanks,

Hello Ysabella,

Your requirement is justified since the numbering in the sales order would usually follow the sequence given in the customer's purchase order. If there are a lot of items in the PO, and if this sequence is messed up, then the customer would lose track of what he/she ordered and what he/she received.

To ensure that the item number from the Sales order is copied to the delivery, all you have to do is set a flag in transaction VTLA at the header level - 'Copy Item number' (V_TVCPLAK-POSVO).

I hope this helps you solve the problem.

Hi,

It is nothing but serial numbers for list of materials in sales order...It is SAP standards only. Nothing to do with those numebrs..If u delete the serial number 1 materil then automaticaly the second matreril will get the serial number 1..

It is just reperesenting the sequence...
