2. Alternative Implementation Paths for Common Functional Requirements

• Q: How to support the demand for bulk maintenance of sales documents?

• Q: How to prevent or force a billing document split?
  A: The standard split logic of the system refers to Billing Document Split and Convergence. Customizing control guidance refers to How to Prevent or Force a Billing Document Split.
• Q: Does the system support the adjustment of sales document Copy Control?
  A: As of CE2402, the copy control between sales documents, delivery notes, and sales billings can be adjusted to some extent. CBC related configuration points (102905, 102906, 102762, 102763, 102764) can easily adjust the preset copy control. Any configuration items or fields that cannot be edited in those configuration points are not yet open to customized adjustments. On this basis, you can implement custom field copy logic through In-APP extensions (Custom Logic: Data Transfer and Copying Requirements for Sales Documents、Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) for Sales Billing) to replace specific field values in target documents with values derived based on custom business logic. Here is an implementation example 销售流程中，外部参考凭证带入会计凭证应收行项目次的实施参考.

3. Known Limitations

• Q: Based on Scope Item BJE, why does the production work order not appear in the sales process flow started from the sales quotation, while the production work order would appear in the sales process flow started from the sales order?
  A: According to SAP Note 3463527 - Production order is not displayed in the "Process Flow" of the "Manage Sales Quotations - ..., the "Process Flow" does not display production orders which are the follow-up documents of sales quotation. Votes can be cast for the related enhancement request in CIP Integration of Production Order Display in Sales Quotation Process Flow for Scope Item BJE .
