Dear Ajay,

If all seems ok in CMIR, MMR & CMR; Please check whether the Sales Area+Plant maintained in These Records is, as same as in Sales Order.

Hi,

I think you are looking at the plant field at the overview level. Plant at the overview level is never automatically determined.

You have to look into the plant determination at the item level.

Exactly what Mr.Ari bis said is very correct and this is what i mentioned in my first post

Go to item details shipping tab Plant has to be there

If no plant is there how the system will perform Availability Check?

Hi

Plant is determined for each item in the Sales order by the Priority rule.

The Priority rule has already been explained by others, i.e, 1st CMIR, 2nd CMR of Ship-to-party, 3rd Material master.

So, you check the Plant in the item details > Shipping tab.

If the plant has not been determined then check all the three sources, whether Plant information is there or not.

The Plant must have permitted (assigned to)by your Company code as well as it must have been configured as the Delivering Plant for your Distribution chain (Sales organisation + Distribution channel).

So, check the assignments mentioned below

-- Assignment of Plant to Company code

-- Assignment of Sales organisation - Distribution channel - Plant.

In the Sales document type (t.code VOV8) , ensure that the check box "Read Info record" has been activated.

If this field is not activated, then system will not check the CMIR even if it exists.

Thanks every body,

Plant is getting determined at the item level.sorry for not putting it the the other way that when i create a so the plant is not coming at the delivery plant field,next to the req delivery date field,,since i want to see the plant in that field when creating a so since i create so for other plants too(delivery thro other plants) so that it will show me the plant and i can go and change the plant if required in the so

so is it possible what i want in std sap?

Thanks

Hi,

The plant is not determined in overview screen as every body said.

The screen which you are mentioning is a over view screen only. Over there you wont see any plant

You have to manually enter plant over there.

Because if there are number of line item and there delivering plants are different.

If you give delivering plant over there then it will be applicable for all the line item.

So if you want it should determined at item level then that field should be empty.

Hope so you will solve your issue.

Thanks raj,

can i make this field of delievry plant on the overview screen mandatory since the billing types are plant wise so if the user forgets to enter the plant then it will be a problem

I tried doing it mandatory but when i go to va02 the delivery plant has to be maintained again.

Hi,

If you have done your customizing correcting and maintained plant in any of the master data CIMR, CMR, MMR.

Then it will automatically determine the plant. But still you want this field should be checked every time before saving the document then include that field in incompletion procedure.

Just select line item and click on the detail button and go to shipping tab.

You will find plant click on that and then press F1 and from the toolbar select technical information.

Note down the table name and field name which would be VBAP, WERKS respectively.

Now go to OVA2 and select sales item in that and double click on procedure.

Now select standard item and double click on fields

Click on new entry and give the field name we have just noted down.

Save the data and exit.

Now create the sales order if plant wont be determine then system will give you error.

Hope so you will get it. If need any help just let us know

hi raj

thanks once again just one last query

my billing types are plant wise and asume some material is from both plants so if the user forgets to enter the plant and if i maintain incompletion log at the item level then the user might find it a bit difficult to enter the plant item wise since one sale order may contain 80 line items..so i was planning to have the delivery plant field mandatory in the overview screen.

if it fulfil the clienst requirement

Hi,

If your all the line items have same delivering plant.

the you can maintain that field only in the incompletion procedure.

but if your line item has different delivering then you have maintain item wise.

choice is yours i gave you both the option.

regards

Raj.

Hi

As rightly said by the other members....CMIR is the first priority. CMIR is the highest level of master data as SD module is concerned.

The assignment of Plant to the combination of Sales Organisation and distribution channel makes the plant as DELIVERING PLANT which is one of the most important assignments in SD module. Though this is not done, the plant should be determined in the sales order, but when press enter...it will throw an error message.

One of the possible reason could be the assignment of Plant to the Company code. Please check if this plant is assigned to the company code or not.

Also, to cross check, click F4(possible entries) in Sales order - Plant field and check whether this plant is there in the drop down or not.

Thanks,

I think you have miseed out the plant assignment to ( sales organization and distribution channel ) which can be done in the transaction OVX6, so that the plant you are maintaining in master records may be reflected.

Hi

the order what you have told is wrong itis CMIR,CMR,MMR

CMIR is the first search then CMR and then MMR

Go to the item details and choose shipping tab

Plant will be there
