Hello -
I am trying to determine the best method by which I should handle this special instance of Sales Order Stock... here is the situation below.
I have material (can be either make-to-order or buy-to-order - point is it is a configured product) that was created as part of Sales Order X.
Customer cancels Sales Order X after product is confirmed / received into Sales Order Stock (specific to order X)
but PRIOR to it shipping. The stock cannot be easily allocated to other orders as it is configured product, and I do not want to put the stock on our shelves as unrestricted, general stock because that can get confusing. I do however want the financial impact of maintain the inventory addressed at the time of the cancellation as opposed to when the material obsoletes and becomes devalued several months / years later. In other words, I want to maintain the stock in the event it can be resold, however I also want it devaluated at the time of the cancellation so all financial transactions associated with the cancellation are captured at the time the cancellation is received.
The only process by which I think this is possible if via a scrap transaction of the sales order stock (MVMT 552E) and then some kind of receipt into returns stock (one of the 650 series return delivery maybe?) Is there a simple de-valuating transfer I can do in one shot or is this the only way I can accomplish BOTH the devaluation as well as the moving into a non-MRP driven, non-Sales Order associated location?
Is there an entirely different suggested method by which this situation can be processed in SAP? I'm relatively new to SAP and this forum, so I apologize if this is a simple solution and I don't know it!
Any assistance would be appreciated!
