Duplicate Purchase Order Number (VBAK-BSTNK) in Sales Order

Same Purchase Order number (VBAK-BSTNK) in Sales Order

The Sales order type xxx "Check purchase order number" is set to "A" (TVAK-PRBST) (Check whether the purchase order number already exists).

Screen: SPRO Sales order type

SCENARIO:
. Open two sessions
. Create sales Order 1 and sales order 2 with the same Purchase Order number at the same time.
. Do not save both orders until both are completed.
. Save order 1 and than save order 2.
. No message "Purchase order number in document & already exists"


SOLUTION:
As long as the document is not saved in database, the R/3 system does not know that the purchase order number already exists.

In SD, there is no buffer table where the temporary purchase order number is stored, in order to check if one already exist. This would impact system performance. As a result, the scenario above is R/3`s standard system behavior.


NOTE:
The standard SAP system behaviour in checking purchase order number:

Case 1:
Create two orders with the same order type, the same sold-to and the same purchase order number.
-> Message V4 115 "Purchase order number in document & already exists" appears

Screen: Sales order message V4 115

Case 2:
Create two orders with different sold-to parties, same order type and same purchase order number.
-> No message V4 115.

Case 3:
Create two orders with different order types, same sold-to and same purchase order number.
-> No message V4 115.


The check purchase order number is validated via the following selection criteria:
. Customer Number
. Sales Order Type

Reference Program Code:
. SAPFV45K
. FV45KF0V_VBKD-BSTKD_PRUEFEN

Screen: Transaction VL06O

Order Confirmed Quantity Not Updated After Credit Release Via VKM3

After credit release of a blocked order using VKM3 , the confirmed quantity in the sales order is not updated, i.e. no automatic ATP after releasing.

Transaction code OVZJ - Sales area: Default Values for Availability Check.
. Check field "Rule for transferring the results of the availability check"


Screen: Transaction OVZJ


Screen: Rule for transferring the results of the availability check

If the availability checking rule is blank, when the system performs the availability check during credit release, the system will choose full delivery. If the quantity required cannot be confirmed fully the system will confirm zero.

In the standard system when a credit block occurs, the confirmed quantities are set to zero.

Screen: During sales order Availability check, confirmed quantity zero.

After the sales order is released from credit, another availability check takes place in the background.

While this takes place in the background, the availability screen cannot be displayed, hence the system uses the availability check rule defined (via OVZJ) for the organization data to determine whether to choose delivery proposal, one-time delivery or full delivery.

SOLUTION:
Maintain field "Rule for transferring the results of the availability check" in transaction OVZJ.
