BAPI SalesOrder partial delivery status

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am having a problem with delivery status return values calling BAPI Bapi_Salesorder_Simulate.

In my IDES 4.6C development environment partial availablity of a material for a requested delivery date is correctly displayed in BAPI return data structure "OrderScheduleEx", "CONFIR_QTY".

E.g. If I set "OrderItemsIn"."Req_Qty" to "300" but available quantity is only 175 (e.g. verified using stock/requirement list in sap transaction MD04), the confirmed quantity is correctly confirmed in "OrderScheduleEx"."CONFIR_QTY" as 175.

Problem 1)

If I set the option "Partial delivery at item level" "OrderItemsIn"."PART_DLV" to "C" ("only complete delivery allowed") the partial quantity is still confirmed. Is this the expected behavior ? (Setting "OrderHeaderIn"."COMPL_DLV" to " " or "X" does not have any effect either)

bigger Problem 2)

Introducing the application to a different (non-Ides) sap installation at customer site the confirmed quantity on partial availability is always "0" ("OrderScheduleEx"."CONFIR_QTY" = "0"). The confirmed quantity is only set to a correct value on full availability in stock. Entering the sales order manually in SAP (using sap transaction va01) using the same parameter is successfull: "Standard order availablity control" pops up on saving the order suggesting a delivery proposal of 175 (for above example)

Has anybody experiences in these partial delivery issues using BusinessObject SalesOrder in BAPI calls ? (I know that there are numerous places for configuring the algorithm for availablity calculation - but this seemed like a BAPI issue to me since the manual sales order creation executes correctly)

Thanks for any help,

Hi - I solved this on my own.

Solution was: In SAP transaction OVZJ the default behavior for partial availability checks can be defined per sales org/dist/div.

If e.g. "Dialog box in the case of shortages (full dlv.)" is selected - confirmed quantity is always set to 0 if it is only partially available.
