Hi Vamsi,

Giving an Order reason when "changing the plant" cases is a good point!
Later accountability could be clearer.

Paramanand,

I assume that these type of incidents do not happen regularly (e.g. plant shutdown). For some (not frequent) cases, the standard process could be followed! Not much extra work and "safer" (because logical).

Please give your comments or the feedback from the endusers, manager etc.

Dear Paramanand,

As already explained by Typewriter changing the plant code in the sales
order for partial delivery item is not a best practice(If system accepts or
not)

After delivering the item for 16MT due to some reasons plant was not
functioning you want to deliver the balance 84MT from plantB. Since you were
aware of the reason why you have opted plantB but how would you communicate
the same to the system. As suggested change the quantity from 100MT to 16MT
in the sales order and enter a new line item for the same material for the
balance to be delivered 84MT from plantB in the sales order. Since you are
opting the delivery to be happen from PlantB manually enter the plant code
for the balance quantity 84MT in the sales order.

For accountability, after changing the quantity enter an order reason for
the initial line item (which the quantity has been changed from 100MT to
16MT) so that you can pull the list sales orders with that particular reason
which helps for business analysis purpose.

Hope this would help you understand why and why not.

Thanks,
Vamsi
