3542636 - How is the delivery plant determined in a sales order?

Symptom

There is a requirement to know how the delivery plant is determined in a sales order.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to Manage Sales Order.
  2. Click "Create".
  3. Enter material.
  4. Enter quantity.
  5. Delivery plant value is automatically populated.

Resolution

When processing an item, the system automatically attempts to determine the associated delivering plant from the master data. The entry can later be changed manually.

The system uses the following search strategy. It checks, in descending order, whether a specification exists:

  1. The customer-material info record.
  2. The customer master record of the ship-to party.
  3. The specification exists in the material master record.

If nothing is found, no delivering plant is set in the sales document item.
