Creating an Order (SAP Library - Customer Service (CS))

Creating an Order

Call up the initial screen for creating an order.

To change the reference object view, choose Extras ® Settings ® Reference object view.

In the standard system, different versions are entered here, for example:

Functional location, equipment and assembly
Material number and serial number
Equipment
Without reference object

If your entries often remain the same, you can use Extras ® Settings ® Default values to create default values for the following data:

Order generally
Reference object
Control
External processing
External procurement
Sales

Complete the screen according to your requirements.

To use another order as a reference, enter the appropriate order number.

The system copies the planning data for operations, material components, external operations, production resources/tools and purchasing from the reference order as default values for the new order.

You cannot use historical orders as a standard reference order.

Choose Continue.

The header data screen for the order appears.

If you have entered a specific object for the new order, for example, a functional location or piece of equipment, this is the reference object for the new order. The system completes some of the header data fields with data from the object master record. Check the data and complete any other relevant fields.
If you need more lines for the description than are available in the short text, you have the following options:

Call up the long text editor and write the long text for the order header. Save the long text and return to the header data screen.
Choose Show long text dialog box to keep the long text for the order visible on the header data screen.

Save the order.
