Procedure to unblock contract lines

  1. Create a contract line in the Contract (tpctm1600m000) session.
    Note: 
    • If the Business Partner Status is set to Doubtful in the Invoice-to Business Partner (tccom4112s000) session, a signal is displayed while creating the contract line that shows the reason why this contract line is blocked.
    • Blocked contract lines must be manually released in the Blocked Contract Lines / Deliverables (tpctm1520m000) session.
  2. Select the Blocked Contract Lines option from the References menu in the Contract (tpctm1600m000) session. The Blocked Contract Lines / Deliverables (tpctm1520m000) session is displayed, wherein you can view the Hold Reason for the contract line.
  3. Select the contract lines and click Soft Release or Firm Release from the Actions menu in the Blocked Contract Lines / Deliverables (tpctm1520m000) session.
  4. Specify whether a user is authorized to unblock orders based on the type of hold placed on the order in the User Profile (tppdm0101s000) session. You can specify whether a user can release:
    • Credit Held Orders
    • Generally Held Orders
    Note: 
    • If the credit rating specified in the Sales Offices (tdsls0512m000) and Business Partners (tccom4500m000) session are different, during the Soft release, a message is displayed if you must update the credit rating of the business partner based on the sales office. Click Ok to confirm.
    • You can view the contract lines or deliverables that are previously blocked and released in the Blocked Contract Lines / Deliverables History (tpctm1522m000) session.
  5. Click Activate in the Contract (tpctm1600m000) session to activate the contract line.
    Note: The unblocking credit lines process is also applicable when creating and updating the contract deliverables, release to warehousing, and confirm shipment.
