hello, friends. just an observation...

i know that you could combine items with different divisions in a sales order by configuring the "check division" in the order type. but i also think that items with different divisions then take on the division at header level.

i am not sure if the same will happen in the delivery. items do have sales area data in table LIPS, but i do not see the same in LIKP. what will the effect be if you could combine items with different divisions in the delivery? will they take on the division at header level?

regards and thanks.

It does'nt allow cause header level division flows from customer where as line item division is from material,and during creation of delivery its not allowing me to combine the delivery and coming to combine muliple deliveries i,e i have made two deliveries for two order's and i tried to make one invoice ,still its spilitting the invoice and in in split analysis its showing the reason of division.

So fellas what is the solution for this ???????? thanks alot to all who are helping me in this issue.

Hi,

Have you seen that your shipping point, delivery date and ship to party are same.

Go to VL10A over there provide your shipping point and delivery date.

Now go to the sales order tab and provide your sales order number.

Now try to execute the process.

If its not processing then just provide the error which system is giving.

just try out this process and let me know the feedback.

Regards

Hi,

Check the copy control settings from sales document to delivery document in t.code VTLA.

Select the source and target document types, and go the details at header level.

Check the routine assigned at the combination requirement field. The routine assigned could have prevented combining of sales order items that have different divisions.

You can use SAP standard routine 51 and test to combine items that belong to different divisions.

Hi,

In order to combine sales order into one delivery you need to check whether following parameters are same in all the sales order that you want to combine

Ship to party

Shipping Point

Route

incoterms

delivery date

For creating single invoice for multiple deiiveries, following fields should be same

Payer

Billing Date

Payment Terms

Destination Country

If these fields are same in all sales orders then you can very well create single delivery for all the sales oder

Hope You get some idea

Thanks sagar,

As u said all or common only but Division is different thats the reason its not allowing me to combine the order and splitting Invoice, so what could be the settings we have to do.

Hi,

Kindly check shipping point in sales order at item level in shpping tab for all your materials, whether it is same or not.

Also, kindly check schedule lines for all the items, whether they are relevant for delivery in VOV6

Even if your division is different, and above mentioned criteria is same, single delivery would be gernerated

I am sure you must have missed out something out of the above points

Hello,

Goto the Transaction code VL10 and give the SHIPPING POINT , delivery created date,

and click on the General data tab & there give the Sales organisation/Distribtion channel/Division

And in division select the Multiple options and maintain the two different divisions and after that select the SALES ORDERS tab and maintain the two sales orders then Execute.

It will now create a single delivery document for the two sales orders.

Please do the above and let us know the result.

cheers,

Hi Santosh,

But in VL10, we are exclusively entering the values for sales area. (as you said just now)

However, if we dont maintain anything in VL10, system will combine all the sales orders which will have same criteria for combining sales orders.

correct me if i am wrong

regards,

Sagar
