Delete sales order with Purchase Order

[Former Member]

Dear SD Guru,

We need to flag a material to be relavant for batch management but sales order already exists for this material. In this sales order, PO has been generated.

I need to delete the sales order but I'm not allowed to because of the subsequent PO. All items in the PO have been rejected because PO cannot be deleted. All items in the sales order have been rejected but I still can't flag the materials to be batch managed as it is still saying the sales order is holding the material, eventhough I have rejected all the materials in the sales order.

Is there any way to delete the sales order? Because of this sales order, we can't change the material to be batch-managed.

Please advice.

Regards,

Soo

HI KAH KIONG SOO,

IN ORDER TO VERIFY UR PROBLEM, GO TO MD04,BCOZ WHEN EVER U CREATE SALES ORDER STOCK GET RESERVE , IT MEANS U CANNOT CREATE THE ORDER THE THE SAME QTY. SO FIRST U CHECK MD04, AND IN SALES ORDER GO TO REASON FOR REJECTION FOR THAT PARTICULAR LINE ITEM INSTEAD DELETE THE SALES ORDER.

WHEN U PUT REASON FOR REJECTION FOR THE LLINE ITEM , THE MATERIAL WILL BE RELEASED FROM THE BLOCK.

Hi,

rather than deleting the slaes order in the production environment it is always better to flag the material for deletion, as u hav only one sales order till now.And create a new material for that purpose.
