Dear bo zhang

If want to pass order reference, delivery reference, customer PO reference to FI, you can make use of these two fields which you can see in copy controls VTFA & VTFL

thanks

Hi,

Basically, every time sales order is created system will carry out availibility check if yours is a product industry. Normally the stock check carried out will be as per the scope of check you have set in the system.

System will normally consider the stock available as per the unrestricted stock levels.

Once availibility check is carried out in sales order & it is saved system will allocate certain quantities against the order, provided that the order doesnt have any kind of block (eg: Delivery Block)

This is known as allocation.

For reference you need to clarify what kind of reference you need to know about.

Hope this resolves your query.
