How order got transmitted even if quantity is less than the minimum

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have an issue where an order has been transmitted for 23 cases where minimum is 25. This order came through even if this order is for that part of the region that should not be able to tranmit orders if under min..

Being a technical guy, I am not able to understand the issue itself.

Doubts :

1. How an order is supposed to be transmitted ?

2. What is this minimum below which an order should not be transmitted? Where this minimum value is defined ? Is it specific to customer or specific to area or specific to plant?

In which table or through T-Code I can check this minimum ....

Can you please guide how to explore the above....

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sanjeet

You can maintain "Minimum order quantity" in the Material master data.

Go to change mode of material master (MM02), enter your material number, click enter, select the "Sale org 1" tab and continue.

Now, in the "Sales org 1" tab , scrolled down and you will find a field "Minimum order quantity" as you required, save it.

Suppose, you have entered ,minimum order quantity as 10 pcs.

If you create an order for that item and if the quantity is below 10 pieces then system will give you "warning message". This is normal standard setting.

If you want that system should give "Error message" instead of "Warning message" , then go to transaction code "OVAH".

For combination "V4" and "082", change the sytem message to "E" (normally you will find here W).

NOW, SYSTEM WILL GIVE YOU ERROR MESSAGE IF YOU ENTER , in the Sale order, order quantity which is less than the minimum order quantity as specified in the material master data.
