Creating Suspensions

If you select the Inactive Items indicator in Customizing for Periodical Sales and Distribution , you can also execute this function if the order item has been terminated or there is an unlimited suspension.

Procedure

  1. Select the item in the item overview or call up the item data on the item to be changed.

    See Changing Subscription Orders and Changing External Delivery Orders

  2. Choose Suspension or Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step Change Functions Next navigation step Suspension End of the navigation path .

    The maintenance screen for the change item appears. The schedule line quantity is set to zero.

  3. Enter the following data:

    • Suspension period ( Valid from/to )

    • Suspension reason

  4. Enter any further data required by the system.

  5. Save the changed order.
