Subcontract Process: Over Delivery is happening

[Former Member]

Hi Friends

I have configured for two delivery item categories in order to avoid over delivery as below .

ZTAN ; B Situation rejected with an error mess

Note: Delivery Item category u201CZTANu201D is for normal business scenario , first sales order followed by delivery .

LBN : B Situation rejected with an error mess.

Note: Delivery item category u201CLBNu201D Subcontract process , first Purchase requisition and PO are created , followed by subcontract delivery, LB .

Even though I made this configuration setting for delivery item category , for avoiding over delivery , LB delivery is not throwing any error , it is simply accepting over delivery.

I.e , when are only 100 quantities in PO , at delivery level system is accepting 1000 quantities despite over delivery configuration settings .

Can I request you to help on how to control over delivery for subcontract process ? .

Thanks In Advance

Jaya

Dear Jaya

Subcontracting is basically a MM process and initiated by a purchase order and not by sales oder

Thedelivery item category controls ( 0VLP) or zero VLP controls will not work at all

Delivery item category controls will work only if the delivery process is triggered with sales order and will not work for purchase orders even the STO is also purchase order only there also over delivery can not be controlled by zero VLP controls

So in your case also it will not work

It needs to be done thro userexit or development

But from MM side they have a lot of specific controls for delivery tolerances for purchase orders like over delivery tolerance and under delivery tolerance etc like some % defined

Check with your MM colleague

Hope this information helps you

Regards

Raja
