Copy from sales order to production order?

[majusko]

Hi,

is there a way to impact copy of information from sales order to Planned/Production order in Public cloud?

In our MTO scenario we would need to copy text from sales order document to  Planned/Production order. This additional information should be stored either as additional sales order text type or maybe in custom field.

Thank you for sharing any ideas!

Hi @majusko,

Option 1: Use Custom Fields + In-App Extensibility (Key-User Tools)

Step-by-step:

1. Create a Custom Field:
• App: “Custom Fields” (F1481)
• Business Context:
• For Sales Order: Sales: Sales Document
• For Production Order: Manufacturing: Production Order Header
• Field Type: Text (short or long)
• Enable the field for:
• Sales Document
• Planned/Production Order
• UI and OData services as needed
2. Enable Field for Use in Both Documents
• Make sure the custom field is visible in both:
• Sales Order (via Manage Sales Orders)
• Production Order (via Change Production Order or Display Production Order)
3. Create a Custom Logic (BAdI Implementation):
• App: "Custom Logic" (F1482)
• Use BAdI: MRP_PRODUCTION_ORDER_READ or similar available BAdIs (depends on scenario)
• Logic: Read sales order (via reference from MTO link), and populate the custom field or text.

Option 2: Use Text Determination (Sales Order Text → Production Order Text)

This is limited in Public Cloud, but you can:

• Define text types in Sales Orders
• If those are part of material master or BOM, use long texts or notes
• There is no standard automatic text determination from SO to production order in Public Cloud, but you can mimic this using a custom field with long text instead.

Option 3: Use Side-by-Side Extension in BTP

If in-app extensibility isn't sufficient:

• Use SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform) to build a side extension
• Create a small CAP (Cloud Application Programming) app:
• Reads sales order
• Updates custom field or long text in production order via OData APIs
