validity in sales order

[Former Member]

Hello,

Can we set a validity period for sales order, so that after the validity period the sales order cannot be processed further.Tried to search the forum but could not get a satisfactory answer.

Hi,

In Standard SAP,we don't have validity for Sales Order but we have validity for quotation.

In order to put validity datesin Sales Order,please create one new field under additional Data B tab of Header.

Please check with your technical team to create a new field in this column.

Krishna.

Yes , you can use VBAK_BNDDT in sales order . But this is not visible in Sales order creation or change.

Hi,

Whenever the system date crosses the VALID date the system should not allow the further processing of the sales order...like delivery is this your requirement.

If yes...then get a new field " VALID TO" in the Additional Data Tab B at the header level in the Sales Order and write you routine in the copying controls from the sales order to delivery which will compare the system date and the VALID to date in the sales order and give an ERROR message if the date is greater than the system date .

Kindly discuss with your technical consultant of the possibility.

Hi,

The feild "P.O date" is identified as valid to date, teh logic is if teh "p.odate"="changed on" date, then give a error message.solved.

Hi

Other model that I know with some level of similarity is Documentary Payments. See this [print file|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/SDFTLOC/SDFTLOC.pdf].

For instance, in page 13, it says

If, for example, the delivery date is later than the financial documentu2019s validity end
date, the system blocks the delivery. Authorized users may release this block using
the Credit Management component

I hope it helps you

Regards

Eduardo

For sale orders, we dont have any control for maintaining any validity period. But however, why dont you explore Quantity Contract or Value Contract where you have validity period. Search the forum with this text so that you will get lot of inputs.

Dear Aadesh,

This can be acheived using ABAP development.

Identify a field in sales order, where the valid to date can be specified.

Sales order creation date can be considered as the valid from date.

Now develop a background program (which calls a BDC where you can record assigning DELIVERY BLOCK and BILLING BLOCK in the Order overview screen)

The background program should consider all the sales orders where the TO DATE is less than SYSTEM DATE.

So system will get a list of sales order for which the validity is over and by running the BDC system will put the BLOCKS and so we wont be able to process the document further.

Please check and revert.

Thanks & Regards,
