SAP reference for open orders

This page complements open orders. The current Community/Enterprise contract consolidates document families that remain distinct in SAP.

Flow SAP header/item Nearby dates/quantities Display transaction
sales order VBAK, VBAP, VBEP schedule lines, confirmation, and open balance VA03
purchase/stock transfer order EKKO, EKPO, EKET schedules, confirmation, and open balance ME23N
production order AUFK, AFKO, AFPO basic dates and order quantity CO03, COOIS

What to put in the IDs

Include the family to prevent collisions between equal numbers. Examples:

  • SO-0090012345 and item 000010-0001 for order/schedule line;
  • PO-4500012345 and item 00010-0001 for purchase/item/schedule;
  • PRD-000012345678 for a production order.

Preserve leading zeroes. orderId + orderItemId must identify exactly one load row. If SAP has multiple schedule lines for one item, include ETENR; do not aggregate different dates under one ID.

SAP status, delivered quantity, and open balance must use the same functional translation across the full history. Closed or cancelled items must not remain open merely because the document still exists.
