Contract for multiple company codes

[Former Member]

Hi,

The requirement is to process the Sales Contract for multiple company codes, the concern is

while creating the Contract document in VA41 we get the Sales area as mandatory.

How to achieve this? if we suppress or make it as optional with some kind of ABAP customisation (what it should it be? usereixt/VOFM routines or what?) would it solve the problem ? if yes ,what would be the impacts on the other transactions.

Kindly suggest.

Regards

Hi

If it is a customer contract (SD contracts) then it is not possible to create the document without specifying the sales area. In the overview screen, even if the sales area is not specified, it takes the value from the 'Sold To' customer master record. If the SP exists in multiple sales areas, then the system displays the different sales areas in a popup and we have to select the appropriate one. To my knowledge, even if you manage to create the contract without those details, you cannot refer them for creating the release orders.

Thanks,

Ravi
