Closing of orders

[Former Member]

Hi All,

i have problem, my users have created orders for material belonging to mat. group X and after some days without closing the orders they have changed the material group to Y now we are not able to close the pending orders as it has been created with X and now we are getting error while closing the order. is there any way to close? or should i change the material group again to X and close the orders and again make it Y.

Thanks

Hi Ashwini,

Based on you description of the issue, it seems that the value X has been removed from the material groups. This should have not be done for a material group that has been used in any of sales orders, as the systems checks if the entry is available in csutomizing table often even in display mode, so it may happen you will not be able to display previous sales orders as well. Check if the group X is still available in customizing - if not restore it and then you will be able to change it in existing sales orders to some other.

Hi All,

sorry for the delay in reply. The error i am facing is " material not listed not allowed" though the material and material group both are assigned to this customer. i tried to change the material group for in Sales B tab it has accepted but when i tried to put the rejection code for the material system is showing above error. please note that the orderes are created in sept and oct month. and the material is listed in jan month. will it affect because of changed date?

Thanks

Hello,

As the order is created in an older date/month, the system expect the condition type on that particular day. Maintain the material listing for the date in VB01 (maintian the from and to date as the order date) and do the necessary action on your orders and revert/delete the condition record, if necessary.

What error you are facing on changing

while changin material group either at Sales Order - Item

- Sales B

or

- Additional data A

As, both being statistical( used for report & grouping ) fields in sales order, it should not cause error.

If you have material group (Sales B) used as key combination for any of pricing condition record.

To eliminate the error, rearrange the condition record which are based on material group.

If you still have any concern or doubt, kindly revert back.

in the sales order line item " sales b" tab - change the material group and save.

then close the order with reason for rejection
