Hi,

If an error occurs in the automatic goods receipt, due to shortage of stock in the defined back flushing storage location etc, you have to process the incorrect goods movements with the function Automatic Goods Receipts: Error Handling (COGI).

Its more releated to PP.

Dear,

Please find below which I found,

COGI transaction is used for correcting the errors happened in case of Automatic Goods Movements like GI, GR etc.

In other words you can say it is used for postprocessing of some goods movement in case of unavailability of stock for carrying out GI, GR.

If any error occurs while goods movement, system records that error. This error we can resolve by certain transaction like COGI.

Say you are doing GR, but stock is not available. However system post this GR quantity with error message.

After getting stock, process COGI. Now goods mvt will happen and the error will vanish.

Thanks for your replies.

So for example while doing PGI for a STO via automatic goods mvmt 641 (intra co) or 643 (inter co), in MIGO, and there's no stock at the supplying plant/sloc the system would put a "hard" stop to it right? And this get recorded in COGI?

So once the stock is put in the Issuing Plant/SLoc, I can process the previous goods movement in COGI instead of redoing MIGO?

Hi,

No, not in case of PGI for Outbound Deliveries because this is an online transaction for Goods Movement and if any error is there you can rectify it there itself.

COGI records errors of goods movements happening in background. For e.g. if you have activated backflush for the BOM components of a FG and during Order Confirmation if Goods Issue of these components has to happen in the background then in that case it records the error of goods movements if any.
