Prevent Outbound delivery creation in sales orders with delivery block

[Former Member]

Hi gurus

     We are facing the following issue:

     Some sales orders have delivery block header and once they are saved an outbound delivery document is created; we want SAP system creates outbound deliveries only in those cases were sales orders have not a delivery block in header, is there any option or configuration we can use in order to prevent the creation of these documents?

Regards,

Edgar.

Hi Edgar,

You have a Delivery block at header level that automatically creates the delivery when sales order is saved?

The automatic creation of the delivery is set by the "create delivery immediately" customizing in sales order document type. In this cases, if you set a delivery block at header level the system does not create a delivery when saving sales order.

So I don't understand the behavior you describe. Could you please clarify?

     For example:

     We have a sales order 15123904, it has a delivery block in header level, when we save the sales order no matter if it has a block delivery at header level an outbound delivery document is created, what we are looking for is that SAP system does not create the following document (Outbound delivery) when sales orders have a delivery block at header level; you mentioned something in customizing, is there any chance you can send me the hole path to take a look into the document we are using. Thanks in advanced.

Grato,

Edgar.

Sure,

Check transaction VOV8, double click your document type and check "shipping" subscreen. There is a field called "Immediate delivery", when set to "A" the delivery is created when sales order is complete and saved. And delivery block is empty.

Edgar,

Check this link. I believe you are probably missing the assignment portion of the config.

Hope this helps,

            We tried the two options we saw there in the shipping subscreen (X and A) but in both cases the delivery is created no matter if sales order has a delivery block is empty or not, Are we missing something else?

Well Edgar,

let's see then in spro

Logistics Execution->Shipping->Deliveries->Define Reasons for Blocking in Shipping

Check out the configuration of your delivery block reason and pay special attention to this instruction:

"In sales documents, you can either enter delivery blocks manually at header level (business data in the sales document header) or they can be proposed automatically by the system. In the latter case, the delivery block must be entered in the respective sales document type (see chapter

"Define sales document types"). In addition, the delivery block in the sales document header is only effective if the delivery block has been assigned to the respective delivery type."

It must be something in the configuration of the delivery block reason you're using.

Edgar

As already suggested by others, If Delivery block is not assigned to Delivery type then system will allow to create Delivery though we have an Delivery block updated in Sales order, So please check the assignment of Delivery block to Delivery type.

Can you check if your delivery type can actually be blocked by your billing block.
