Limit sales document type per plant

[saolin]

Dear expert,

Could anyone advise me how do we define sales document type to plant since our business user made mistake to select wrong plant in Sales Order. We don't want it to happen once again and we don't want to remove the plant from material since it will effected to other sales document type that will used.

We understood that Sales document type assign to Sales Org and plant assign to material and company code .

Thank you.

The best way to ensure that your business user does not make a mistake in selecting the wrong plant in a sales order is to create a custom validation check in your system. This can be done by creating a rule that states the plant must match the sales document type. This rule can be set in the system settings so that when a sales document is created, the system will automatically check the plant and sales document type and alert the user if they do not match. This way, the user will be able to correct the mistake before submitting the order.

Not sure why the plant has to be entered manually in sales order when it can be automated from multiple places. As you might be knowing, system will preference in the following sequence to fetch the plant automatically

• Customer Material Info Record in VD51
• Plant in Customer Master and finally in
• Material Master

So, if there is already a different plant in material master and you don't want to change, you can very well differentiate in vd51 for Customer / Material combination.
