Symptom
Is it possible to stop an MRP run for a sales order item until the customer has made a payment for the item?
Environment
• Sales and Distribution (SD)
• SAP S/4HANA Cloud All versions
Cause
The Sales Order Processing with Customer Down Payment process (scope item BKJ) requires a down payment before delivery creation but does not have any impact on Material Requirements Planning.
Resolution
As a workaround, please follow the Customer Down Payment (scope item BKJ) with the addition of the following steps:
- To temporarily block Material Requirements Planning, assign a 'Reason for Rejection' to the sales order line item.
- Please ensure that the Reason for rejection as been configured (SSCUI/Configuration step 102494) with 'No Billing' unchecked and 'Statistics' empty.
- These settings will remove the requirement while also allowing for the creation of the down payment.
- Once the down payment has been completed, the reason for rejection can be removed and the requirements will be created.
