Delivery related issue

[Former Member]

We are experiencing some problems with the following scenario.

1) Intercompany purchase order is created by recieving plant for 1000 Kg of a material.

2) Shipping plant sees the purchase order on their delivery list but at that time only 400 Kg of the material are available

3) Shipping plant immediatley creates delivery (still while only 400 Kg are available)

4) Shipping plant's warehouse sees the delivery for only 400kg and ships only 400Kg instead of the 1000 kg that the receiving plant ordered

A) Is this a configuration problem or are we not supposed to create delivery until the 1000 Kgs are available?

B) Is there a way to create delivery before all of the 1000Kgs are available for the entire 1000 Kgs?

thanks

Hi,

For the availability check for material,

priority basis would be the proper stock maintenance according to the actual stock.

if that is maintained, one can always activate the check in the material master data and also in the customization of the sales order.

for material availability check in material master, a warning is issued before delivery that insufficient material as per the order quantity.

for customization of sales order with respect to availability check, the message can either be marked as error, warning or ignored.

so please check the settings with you core team or team lead.

regards,

Siddharth.

Hi,

You need to make sure you got sufficient material to be shipped out from warehouse before you creating the DO.

You can check the quantity of the material using MMBE or MB52.

However if you dont mind to do a partial delivery, which means ship out the 400KG available, you can delivery this 1st. For the remaining 600KG, you can create another DO in future and delivery it once you have enough material in the system.

Thanks.

Hi ,

thanks for your reply.

is there any way so that partial delivery will not be created and delivery will be created only if order quantity is available fully.

how systme can be made to behave like this?

Thanks
