Blocking material for sale at plant level

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can you please help me whether we can block the material for sale at plant level.

We can block the material in sales organization view --> DChain-spec. status as BLOCKED FOR SALE , but it wil block sales of the material for all the plants in the sales organization.

Please help whether we can go ahead at plant level.

Hi Usha,

Infact a material can be blocked on sales organization level only.

One workaround may be to creat one dummy physical inventory document for plant-material combination with posting block .

Which will provide posting block on GR /GI level.

the posting block for goods issues can already be reached with a material status, so no phyiscal inventory document necessary.

What you could try is to control the usage by a userexit.

E.g. you define a sales status AND a material status, just as table entry without any customizing in detail.

and in the userexit you check for the combination of sales status and material status, and if your material has this combination then send a error message to the user.

Please confirm me.. it is very urjent issue.

Use MM06 transaction and set deletion flag at all levels where you require.

it is not possible.

Sales status is distribution chain specific, and material status does not restrict the user from entering a sales order.
