SAP Note 16658 - Generate sales order stock based on quotation

Symptom:

In the current stock/requirements list (transaction MD04), the sales order stock is not based on the order or the order number but on the quotation (quotation number).

Cause and prerequisites

In make-to-order production, an individual customer account assignment is opened when the requirement is created. This is connected to the document number of the quotation. The stock is covered by the account assignment term in this quotation number. When creating an order with reference to the quotation, an order number is assigned to the order. The account assignment element is transferred to the order but comes originally from the quotation. In the current stock/requirements list, the number of the quotation is displayed behind the sales order stock since the account assignment was opened there. The same applies if only inventory management without cost consideration (cost collector) is available.
Advantages: Stocks that have already been produced for the quotation and are special stock for the quotation, are also available for the order.
The same applies for planned orders and production orders which have already been opened for the quotation.
From the cost accounting view, quotation and order are considered ONE object, which means that all costs and revenues are considered together.

Solution
In Release 2.2, no change is planned at present.
However, it is possible to prevent the transfer of the account assignment during copying by using a user exit. In case of this, stocks, costs, and revenues of quotation and order are managed separately. If necessary, they have to be reposted from the quotation to the order.

As of 3.0, when the requirements type is assigned to the transaction during requirements type determination, it is possible to assign a requirements type to the quotation that does not represent make-to-order production.

Possible change of the user exit in 2.2:

Program MV45AFZZ, FORM USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP:

FORM USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP.
