In this step, you define possible delivery blocks and assign them to the appropriate delivery types.

You set delivery blocks to separate certain transactions (e.g. political instability, insufficient stock, etc.) from the standard process flow for special reasons and to avoid that further processing takes place automatically. As a result, the transaction "rests" until the person responsible reviews the situation, makes a decision and possibly removes the delivery block manually.

Delivery block in the sales document

In the sales document, you can set delivery blocks on two different levels:

  • Delivery block at header level

    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.

  • Delivery block at schedule line level

    You can block individual schedule lines for delivery manually in the sales document. The delivery block at schedule line level is always effective, regardless of whether the delivery block is assigned to the corresponding delivery type. Schedule lines can also be blocked automatically by the SAP System if you have defined an automatic delivery block for the schedule line category. For this, you must specify the delivery block for a schedule line category (see chapter "Define and assign schedule line categories"). The blocking ID is only valid for the schedule line and is not copied into the item. You must remove the blocking ID manually in order to release the schedule line for delivery.

Delivery block in the delivery

You can also block deliveries for picking and goods issue. This delivery block is always effective, regardless of whether the delivery block is assigned to the corresponding delivery type.

A delivery block can be combined with certain functions depending on the blocking reason:

  • Order block

    A delivery block can be controlled such that the system automatically blocks sales documents for customers who have a delivery block in the customer master record. For example, you can block sales orders which have a delivery block due to problems concerning payment.

  • Requirements block

    In sales order processing, you can block the order quantity from being confirmed using a delivery block. In this case, the system does not confirm quantities during order processing. Therefore the system does not transfer requirements so that the quantities can be used for other orders.

  • Delivery due list block

    You can use this block to block the creation of deliveries with the delivery due list function. This block does not block the direct creation of an individual delivery.

  • Picking block
  • Goods issue block

Actions

  1. Check the reasons for which a customer, sales document or schedule line may have to be blocked for delivery in your company.
  2. Define the delivery types to which a block should apply.
  3. Agree on the person subgroup that sets the delivery block and the time at which they do so, if the block is not set automatically by the SAP System.
  4. Specify an alphanumeric key for the blocking reasons in shipping with up to 2 characters and a description.
  5. Control the delivery blocks by linking them with certain functions, if appropriate.
