Blocked Sales Order (Lines) (tdsls4520m000)

Use this session to list or release blocked orders or order (component) lines.

LN can block sales order (component) lines for several reasons during order entry.

On the appropriate menu, you can click one of these options to release order (component) lines:

  • Firm Release

    The order is released and is not blocked again for the same reason.

  • Soft Release

    If the order is blocked because of a credit check and you select this option, the order is blocked again at the next phase if the criteria for that reason still apply to the sales order (line). If the order is blocked for another reason, you can only use this option to release the order.
Note: 
  • If the order is blocked because of a compliance check failure, you cannot release the order in the current session. You can update the required data, or use the Document Compliance Check Results (tcgtc1510m000) or Override Compliance Check Results Workbench (tcgtc1610m100) sessions to override the failure and unblock the order.
  • If an order is blocked because of a credit check, you can define various phases for blocking an order in the Credit Ratings (tcmcs0564m000) session. As a result, the difference in the firm and soft type of releasing only applies to credit checking. For the other blocking reasons, these types of releasing give the same results.

Example

LN performs a credit check for the following phases:

  • Phase 1

    The order (component) line is blocked at order (component) line entry.

  • Phase 2

    The order (component) line is blocked when releasing the sales order (component) line to Warehousing.

  • Phase 3

    The order (component) line is blocked when confirming the shipment.

If the order (component) line is blocked at order (component) line entry (phase 1), you can click Soft Release to continue the order procedure until phase 2. If the hold reason is still valid, LN blocks the order (component) line at phase 2 again. To release the sales order (component) line to Warehousing and to continue the order procedure until phase 3, click Soft Release. The resulting outbound order line is not blocked. If the hold reason is still valid, LN blocks the order (component) line when you try to confirm the shipment in the Freeze/Confirm Shipments/Loads (whinh4275m000) session (phase 3). Because this is the last phase, you cannot confirm the shipment after a Soft Release. To confirm the shipment while the hold reason is still valid, click Firm Release.
