Document Workflow Table: VBFA

[Former Member]

I am developing an interface that is updating deliveries, and then goods issues them. I am trying to understand why for one set of sites I read VBFA with the delivery number in the preceding SD Doc field (VBELV). IN another set of sites I read VBFA with the delivery number in the subsequent SD Doc field (VBELN).

I know that these different sites must create the deliveries differently, but do not understand how?

Thank-You, Tom Matys

Tom,

In a standard process, the former method is correct and if there are 3rd party orders, then the latter case might occur.

3rd party orders:

Customer buys X on website Y. This is a sales order for the website Y but X will be delivered by some other Z company and then the sales order for Y is a PO for Z. so this internally creates a sales order for Z.

I might be wrong to little extent.

Thanks,

Kiran
