Greetings. I have completed the exercise in the expected lines the customer I have created is 100234 in the sales area 3000, 01, 00. When I tried to created a sales order I have received the following errors It is not allowing me to create order type anything other than ZOR. Throwing an error saying this order type ‗OR‘ is not defined in the Sales Area 300, 01, 00. I have extended the
customer to DCl 10 and avoided the error and created an order 13700.
Question: Do we have to assign a sales area to the order type ?
Question: While creating an order for this customer 100234 with Sales area 3000, 01, 00 it throws an
error that no pricing procedure could be determined. Do I have to assign a pricing procedure to the order type.
Appreciate your feedback.

Hi
NO, Generally it is NOT necessary to assign a Sales Area to Sales Doc Type. When you do assign it, it indicates that that sales doc type is ONLY allowed in that sales area. Otherwise, no restrictions
YES – Remember the A+B+C rule for pricing?
A=Sales Area B=Doc Pricing Proc C=Cust. Pricing Proc

November 12, 2011 at 6:34 am#Question 1 : Yes, check box for flagging
Question 2 : Blocking the Customer Master is done for specific reasons such as when a customer is blacklisted for not making payments. It is a process that can be reversed as well ie temporary.
Marking a Customer Master for deletion will stop any action to be taken on a customer. Once flagged for deletion, the customer will be archived but not deleted.
Question 3 : Sales order cannot be created. A message is displayed stating Customer is marked for deletion
Question 4 : Block Customer Master should be performed first since it is a temporary measure. A deletion would be better if the intent is to remove a customer completely instead of still keeping them on the system.
Question 5 : When you flag a Customer Master for Deletion and create an SAP Sales order for the same the system …◦Displays a Warning

Question 2 : In your own words, what is the difference between blocking the Customer Master and Deleting the Customer Master ?
Ans : Blocking the customer would only prohibit from carrying out further respective transaction with the customer. Eg : If the customer is Blocked due to bad credit the company cannot create a ―Sales Order‖ for that customer. Deleting the CMR would delete all the relevant Data for the customer and
will be archived during the next data update which the company carries out during each quarter or fiscal year.
Question 3 : Create a SAP Customer master, and flag it for deletion. Try and create a Sales Order for the same. Are you able to create it ? If so, give the reasons why ?
Ans : Created Customer 500023 and Flagged for Deletion. When tried to create a SO a Warning Message came up : Customer 00005000023 marked for deletion.
Question 4 : Which step should be performed first ?
Ans : Ideally – Customer Master should be blocked first. However you can flag for deletion without blocking the customer. Block and Deletion are independent of each other.
Question 5 : When you flag a Customer Master for Deletion and create an SAP Sales order for the same the system
Ans : * Displays a Warning
Question 6 : Can you reset the Deletion flag in the SAP Customer Master ?
Ans : Yes. Path is the same Logistics > SD > Master Data > BP > Customer > VD06 Flag for Deletion. Uncheck the box and save it
