Automatic creation of Production order when credit limit lock got released

[Former Member]

It seems that production order will be created only when the sales order is created without credit lock error from the first.

Once credit lock happened, even if user release the lock, production order will not be created automatically anymore.

Is there a way to change the setting so that production order will be created automatically after credit unlock?

don't want to create production order manually every time when credit lock happens

Hello Manish

If you have used Standard Requirement 102 in Config T code OVB5 (Maintain Requirements For Transfer Of Requirements) , then it should behave as you wish, that is once you release the credit block, system should create Purchase Reqs/ Planned/production orders in the background. Check what you have there and/or choose appropriately here. While here, check out OVB8 (Maintain Requirements For Purchase And Assembly Orders) if anything needs to be done there.

Also ensure that there are no required fields ( for production order) missing, i.e., required entry fields that cannot be supplied automatically for this process.

For conceptual clarity, check out OSS note 396791 - Credit release of sales orders with third-party items which deals with 3rd party transactions but draws a parallel and mentions 'Production orders' also.

Hello Colleague;

Seems to be there is a field (VBAP-FIXMG - Delivery date and quantity fixed) that you can flag in sales order.

At item level (schedule line tab).

Make a test. Mark this field (if works we can customize that this set can be occur automatically per order type) and save your sales order (it should be locked by credit).

After release this sales order via VKM1, VKM3, etc, check if it required a production order in PP.

I hope it can be a solution for you.
