block Purchase requisitions creation when there is a delivery block active on sales order

2026-02-05T16:16:45.063000+01:00

Hello,

We are using a delivery block on Sales orders received via EDI where we activated the purchase requisition block. However, when the mrp is running it keeps creating purchase requisitions.

Is there a possibility to block PR creation for normal sales orders until all checks are done?

I found out OSS note 738171 but it seems it is concerning item category TAS en TAB, thus not sure if this is relevant here.

OData V4 URL Encoding Issue with SAP Web Dispatcher + Proxy (Sales Order Management App)

2026-02-06T16:09:11.380000+01:00

Hi SAP Community,

We are facing an issue with OData V4 URL encoding after activating the standard Sales Order Management application in S/4HANA.

Note: An SAP incident has already been created, and in parallel we are reaching out to the community to learn from experts who may have faced a similar issue.

Issue summary

The problem occurs because equal signs (=) in the OData V4 request URL are being URL-encoded (%3D) before the request reaches the S/4HANA ICM.

In the browser, the request URL is correct and the = signs are not encoded:

https://etgwdsp.etgworld.com/sap/opu/odata4/sap/c_salesordermanage_srv/srvd_f4/sap/c_orgdivisionvaluehelp/0001;ps='srvd-c_salesordermanage_sd-0001';va='com.sap.gateway.srvd.c_salesordermanage_sd.v0001.ae-c_salesordermanage.createwithsalesordertype.organizationdivision.SalesOrderManageType.X'/$metadata?sap-language=EN

However, when the request reaches the ICM, the raw HTTP request shows that:

= is encoded as %3D
%27 is converted back to '

Example from ICM level 3 trace:

GET /sap/opu/odata4/.../0001;ps%3D'srvd-c_salesordermanage_sd-0001';va%3D'com.sap.gateway.srvd.c_salesordermanage_sd.v0001.ae-c_salesordermanage.createwithsalesordertype.organizationdivision.SalesOrderManageType.X'/$metadata?sap-language=EN

The SAP Gateway expects the “=” characters to remain unencoded, and because of this encoding, the request fails.

Landscape and behavior

Middleware involved

SAP Web Dispatcher
Corporate HTTP Proxy

Observed behavior

All apps work when the proxy is bypassed (Web Dispatcher active)
All apps work when the Web Dispatcher is bypassed (proxy active)
The issue occurs only when both proxy and Web Dispatcher are active

This strongly indicates that the URL is being modified due to an interaction between the proxy and Web Dispatcher.

Troubleshooting performed

All required roles, authorizations, services, and ICF nodes are active
Web Dispatcher profile parameters adjusted to prevent URL encoding
Web Dispatcher mod file changes attempted for OData V4 handling
→ Issue still persists

As per internal network team analysis:

A change may be required in the Web Dispatcher index file
Neither the network team nor BASIS team has access to modify it
Only SAP can make changes at this level

Questions to the community

Has anyone experienced a similar OData V4 URL encoding issue with Web Dispatcher + proxy?
Is this a known limitation or defect in SAP Web Dispatcher for OData V4?
Are there any supported parameters, SAP Notes, or workarounds to prevent encoding of = in the URL?
Should this be handled via ICM settings, Web Dispatcher configuration, or proxy rules?
Is there any recommended architectural workaround until SAP provides a fix?

Any guidance, experiences, or references would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Hi Community!

I have a customer in SAP HANA requesting that in Contract Rebates could be by SHIP TO PARTY instead of PI Invoicing Party.

SmartForms: One Delivery Order with Multiple Customer POs Prints as Separate Invoices

2026-02-12T09:39:48.924000+01:00

Hi all,

We are facing the following scenario in SAP SD billing and invoice printing (SmartForms):

We have one Delivery Order, but the delivery contains items referencing multiple customer Purchase Order numbers. When billing is created and printed, SAP generates two separate invoices (different invoice numbers and separate print copies).

Business would ideally like the invoice to be printed as a single consolidated copy, even though there are multiple PO references.

We have verified that:

Same customer
Same Sales Order
Same Delivery Order
Same currency and payment terms

The only difference is the Customer PO number.

Questions:

Is this standard SAP behavior (invoice split by customer PO)?
Is there any standard configuration or SmartForms approach to prevent printing into two separate copies?
If not, is enhancement the only option — and what are the usual considerations?

Thank you in advance for your advice.

System generates two invoice files from the same Delivery Order because the Customer PO number differs.

Field File A File B

Invoice No	6032002304	6032002303
Delivery Order	6010002327	6010002327
Sales Order	134513	134513
Customer	Customer321	Customer321
Payment Terms	Due 30 Days	Due 30 Days
Currency	SGD	SGD
Customer PO	SA02-1830102764	SA02-1830088258

Trading partner determination for PGI Material accounting document during intercompany transaction

2026-02-13T14:25:45.312000+01:00

I have created an intercompany sales order for an end customer as the material is sourced from a different plant.

During PGI of delivery, we are getting issue related to invalid trading partner.

In I/C sales order, we have sold-to party ABC, sales org 1234, delivering plant 5678.

We have maintained config in OVVA (internal customer for sales org intercompany transactions)

When we post PGI for the delivery, it is determining the trading in material accounting doc which is related to a different sales org (ex: 3456). How do we check how the customer OR trading partner is being determined for the inventory accounting (PGI) document between customer 1234 (for sales org 1234) & supplier 5678 (delivering plant 5678).

Delivery Locked on Auto Invoice via BAPI

2026-02-15T18:27:01.870000+01:00

Hello SAP experts,

We have a business requirement to automatically create an invoice when posting a goods issue in VL02N.

The invoice creation itself works fine. However, when we try to link it to the delivery flow via a BAPI, the system returns 'Delivery Locked'.

This seems expected because a customized output type (with a special function type) is triggered immediately when posting the goods issue. At that moment, the standard system behavior temporarily locks the delivery, preventing the BAPI from updating the delivery document flow with the invoice.

This issue is blocking my process. Any guidance, best practices, or workarounds to handle this scenario would be highly appreciated.

Thank you!

Product Division in SAP S4 HANA Public Cloud

2026-02-17T07:53:02.023000+01:00

Hi All,

Currently customer has 1 sales org. with 4 divisions. Products are segregated as per the division. Sales Org. (1000) having 4 different divisions (10, 20, 30, 40) for sales and 2 distribution channels (wholesale and Retail (newly added)). As per customer requirement, wholesale distribution channel cannot sell product across divisions in single sales order, but retail distribution channel must allow selling products across different divisions in a single sales order.

In Product Master if we maintain the division in basic data then same is extended to Sales org. as well applicable to all distribution channels. This will prevent selling products in Retail distribution channel when products from different divisions required in single sale order. If Division not maintained in the Product master, then system will not restrict selling products across the division in wholesale distribution channel. We have proposed creation of separate division (00-Common) used for Retail sales and maintenance of Product exclusion at sales area level. But customer is highlighting lot of data maintenance required for the exclusion. Any better suggestion will be helpful.

Intercompany Order-Related Billing (Output document RDIV/report RVIVAUFT) -Vendor Invoice Generation

2026-02-18T10:30:23.706000+01:00

Hello Experts,

We are using Advanced IC Sales functionality (goods are being sold to consumer through selling company with delivery done by delivering company). As a part of standard process we are generating IC customer billing document (in delivering company) and IC vendor invoice (in selling company).

Sometimes we need to perform customer refund (selling company customer cedit memo) with its re-issuing to delivering company as intercompany credit memo.

The standard solution supports RDIV (report RVIVAUFT) output document for billing, which triggers IC invoice/credit memo. It works fine - IGA document was generated and released in FI, but it represents only 1 side of operation (customer) - to finish the process I need to post respective vendor credit memo in 2nd company.

I tried using RD04 output, but it works only if purchase order is in place - for such refund process they are not in use.

What is the way I can trigger and generate vendor credit memo after RDIV document processing?

Reversal of partial settlement incorrect on account assignment for accrual reversal condition

2026-02-19T16:12:53.317000+01:00

I am facing a problem that the system does not reverse a partial settlement (or final for that matter) because of unbalanced document.

For a French Sales Org the original document is as Z* condition types copied from standard

As you can see in the reversal - the red marked line is trying to post to the same G/L account with posting Key 50 (besides the 40) and because of this the document is unbalanced.

The settings for the condition contract are shared amongst several sales orgs and if I do the same for a German Sales Org (again same settings - same G/L accounts) the system reverts the document without any issue.

This occurs only in reversal of partial settlement and not in any other cases.

Any idea on how we can see why the system is trying to post with that other account key 50 besides de correct one of 40 (that reverts the original document posting)?

Create a Sales Order with reference to Contract in cross Sales Area

2026-02-19T17:13:52.972000+01:00

Hello Gurus,

I have a requirement wherein user will be creating a Global Contract, and the Sales Orders will be created with reference to the Contract but it will be Cross Sales Area.

Eg. I have created a Quantity Contract for Amul India where Sales Area is 1000/10/10 and thereafter I will create a Sales Order for Amul Jamnagar with reference to the Contract wherein Amul Jamnagar belongs to 1001/10/10 and the 2nd Sales Order with reference to the Contract where the Customer is Amul Pune and so on.

We are on SAP RISE 2023.

I have tried using the Reference Sales Organisation /Reference Distribution Channel and Reference Division along with Common Distribn Channel and Common Division but nothing works.

I have tried Customer Hierarchy but that is also of no use eg. 1A Hierarchy is Amul India and 2A is Amul Jamnagar and Amul Pune.

Is there any standard solution for this OR what are the enhancements required to achieve this.

Someone please help me on this.

Thanks and Regards.

Saurav Mallick.

Customer Invoices based on batches from Outbound delivery - Public cloud

2026-02-21T00:52:15.641000+01:00

Hi,

We have a business requirement (Public Cloud) where we have to create invoices based on the batches from the outbound delivery.

For example, if we have 3 batches for a line item in the outbound delivery. When we want to invoice, it is required to create the first invoice only for first 2 batches and later second invoice to be created for the 3rd batch. User will decide which batch to be invoiced.

Do we have any solution for this requirement? User don't want to create one line item per batch in the outbound delivery as the number of batches will be high for a line item.

Thanks in advance.

With Regards

Credit management issue

2026-02-22T07:08:42.531000+01:00

Due to the implementation of credit management in some company codes, sales orders are getting blocked during credit checks. This results in empty shipping dates and the orders do not appear in the delivery due list, leading to late deliveries.

Additionally, when a released order’s delivery date is changed, the order gets blocked again for credit checks. The requirement is to prevent re-blocking of released orders after delivery date changes.

Please assist me to find the root cause and help me to troubleshoot this issue.

Customer Specific Inventory Reservation based on Bill to party

2026-02-24T02:52:33.423000+01:00

Our client is seeking an SAP solution to implement a customer-based reservation (at the Bill-to party level) for specific products.

Reserved stock must be tracked separately from unrestricted inventory.
Sales Orders for the designated customer must draw from the reserved stock first.
Once the reserved stock is fully exhausted, any remaining order quantity should automatically be fulfilled from unrestricted stock.
The reserved stock must remain unavailable to all other customers.
The Customer reservation will have the expiry date, after expiry the reserved stock should move back to unrestricted stock.

How can we achieve this specific allocation and consumption flow in SAP? We are in SAP ECC.

Thanks in advance.

Consignment process and Sales of Non-Stock Item with Order-Specific Procurement(BDN)

2026-02-25T06:26:02.306000+01:00

Hi,

We are using Public cloud and our business process is that we procure the products from external supplier using the process Sales of Non-Stock Item with Order-Specific Procurement(BDN). Once the product is received, we want to ship it to customer using customer consignment process as the billing should be done only when the customer consumes it. Till then it will be in customer location as customer consignment stock.

When we checked in the system, it seems we cannot use both the process in the same document. Have you come across this business requirement? If so, how is it handled?

Thanks in advance
