material exclusion

[Former Member]

Hi there,

Could someone help me with the following issue:

In the order process, some customer are excluded for certain materials. This works well in the case the user confirms the customer number prior to entering the material number and qty.

If the user does not confirm the customer number but enters directly the material number and qty and then confirms all the entries at once, the system will accept the excluded material.

What do I need to do in order to have the material excluded in both cases (besides putting the pressure on the user to confirm first the customer number in the orderscreen)? Thanks a lot in advance.

We use the standard access sequence for material exclusion and standard doc types.

Hi Sumit,

Thanks for your reply.

The customizing of listing/exclusion has been done already so the steps you gave me have already taken place some time ago. The issue occures upon order entry. The user does not confirm the customer number, they select it from the list or know the customer number by hart. By doing so, SAP does not check the customer data. The user only confirms the entries he/she made after he/she has entered the customer number, material and quantity. So no confirmation of the customer number prior to entering the material number. In my view, SAP does not makes the access to listing/exclusion if the customer data is not known, could it be a bug? Can I force (systemwise) the confirmation of a customer number before the user can enter a material number?

Hi patrick

If the end user doesn't know that wheather that customer is excluded or listed for those materials and he is just entering the customer number when creating sales order then maintain the condition table with key combination of customer / Material. and assign it to access sequence and maintain conditon record for the customers .

Now check wheather the condition record is Exclusive .then your problem is solved
