adding second line item in sales order as low level item

[Ritz]

Dear Experts,

Please help with your thoughts here.

Is it possible to add a low level line item in sales order without creating or maintaining the sales BOM? At this moment my is understanding we could find an exit which will get trigger at the time of sales order save and identify the material entered in line item, if it meets the customer criteria , add another material as low level item in the second line of same sales order. Appreciate if you could share your knowledge and experience how you would handle similar requirements. Also, if you see any flaws if we setup these processes?

Thanks

Hi Ritesh

Try entering the new line item and populate the Higher Level item field for it. You should be able to do this regardless of whether you have a BOM or not. You may need to configure the item category determination to allow it but give it a shot. So it looks something like this.

Item 10 Material - Higher item QTY 1 (higher level item is blank)

Item 20 Material - lower level item QTY 1 (higher level item = 10)

A user exit should not be required here. Try the above and see how you go.

thanks

Thanks Phil, i will give it a try. I need user exit as i want to add a second line item based on a logic which reads values from first line item. Do we have any exit which specifically get trigger at the time of variant determination ?

Thanks

Through standard configuration, this is not possible. You can try with PCSD0001 (EXIT_SAPLCSDI_001) which is a customer specific program for BOM maintenance

Thanks G Lakshmipathi,

is PCSD0001 (EXIT_SAPLCSDI_001) which only for BOM maintenance or we can write some other code to make changes in sales order? Do

or we have any other exit, another possibility i am looking is at the time of saving sales order i can trigger exit to save sales order details in custom table and later use a Z program to perform additional task's. what do you think here ?

Thanks

Yes with the exit I suggested, it is quite possible. Long time back, I remember, in one of my projects, my technical team had used this to achieve similar requirement in sale order

[kameshsapsd]

yes. It is possible to add a no. of line item in the sale order as a lower level item to a header material.

If cs03 sales bom is available then the system itself will explode all the bom item into sale order if you enter your header material.

If not it can be keyed directly in sale order.

Kamesh,

Thanks for reply , for this scenario we dont have a sales BOM define , what i need is based upon field value validation of material entered in first line of sales order a low level item should be determine from a Z Table and add as low level item in sales order second line.

• what enhancement point or user/customer exit i could use to build this logic?
• Are there any pit-flaws of any such solution?

Thanks
