Change sold to party in sales order 

We have the below requirement of changing sold to party after creation of sales order:

Once sales order is created, purchase requisition is created automatically and purchase order is created with reference to the purchase requisition. So when Goods receipt is done, the respective stock is getting reserved for that sales order.

We wanted to change the sold to party option.

After creation of purchase order, sold to party option in sales order is display only.

How to make it changeable?

As long as you have not created subsequent document like delivery or invoice, you can change the sold to party in sale order either in creation mode (VA01) or in change mode (VA02). But once you created the subsequent document, you cannot change the sold to party bocz, the said field will become uneditable.

Effect of sold to party in sales order 

What is the effect of sold to party in sales order?

Suppose we are creating the sales order with customer '11' and material 'abc', but before saving the sales order document we changed the customer and new customer is '21', so after this change which is redetermined in the sales order.

These will get redetermine

-->Tax

-->Price

-->Frieght

-->Payment terms

-->Shipping conditions

-->Partner (Ship to party, bill to party and Payer).

-->Route.

If the Sold to party is changed from 11 to 21, then the new SP (21) may be valid for some other Sales Area, may have different SH,PY &BP. So accordingly those data will change.

If different SP, then Price may vary, Shipping condition may vary. So those data may change.

As different SH may be different, then Route may be different, Plant may be different, and as Tax is mostly Plant dependent, so Tax may change.

If SP is different PY may be different, so Payment Term, Incoterm & Credit limit may be different, so those data will be changed/redetermined accordingly.
