Note:

  • XYZ represents the ID of the sales order.
  • XXX represents the line item sequence number.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Outbound Logistics Control work center.
  2. Go to the Customer Demand view.
  3. Search for the Customer Demand XYZ (XYZ represents the ID of the Customer Demand).
  4. Select the Customer Demand XYZ and click on the Release button.
  5. Error occurs stating: Release of order is not possible; Sales Order XYZ, Position XXX is blocked.
  6. Also the Customer Demand shows Delivery Block, though the delivery block has not been set in the Sales Order or Account.

Cause

Resolution

  1. Go to the Sales Orders work center.
  2. Go to the Sales Orders view.
