Reversal Of OBD.

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

A customer of mine is having serial no.for every material he has in his plant.Presently he is unable to reverse an outbound delivery where the error message being shown is as follows:

1.stock data of serial no. 1703 not suitable for movement.

2.system status ESTO is active

3.system status ECUS is active

4.serial no. 1703 cannot be used here.

Inspite of completing the PGI,the unrestricted stock is still shown in the plant through MMBE.Please note that the PGI is complete in all respects as shown in data flow.

Please suggest whether and how the OBD can be reversed.

Regards

Hi,

Just check the pre-requisite for it:

A serial number profile with the procedure MMSL must be entered in the material master record.

If a stock check is to be performed, the indicator of the same name must be set in the serial number profile.

In order that the individual stocks are recorded correctly, you must define the indicator as follows:

The serial number usage for the procedure MMSL must be 03, meaning that the assignment of serial numbers is obligatory for goods movements.

The stock check must be 2, meaning that if the stock data is inconsistent, the system does not perform the posting and issues a corresponding error message.

In Customizing for inventory management you can sort the different types of goods movements into groups using movement type groups. By assigning movement type groups to a serialization procedure you define for the assigned movements whether:

Serial number requirement exists for the materials assigned to the profile

A serial number including an equipment master record is created in inventory management for a goods movement

Features

Serial numbers can be assigned for goods receipts, goods issues, stock transfers and stock transport orders.

You use the serial number usage in the serial number profile to control whether:

The serial number must be entered for every goods movement, or

The serial number cannot be entered for any goods movement

The following information is recorded for the serial number for each goods movement:

Plant and storage location

Batch

Valuation type

Stock type

Special stock indicator

Sales order number and order item

Account number of the vendor or customer

Work breakdown structure element

This information regarding the serial number is also taken consideration in the stock overview.

You can find further information about the features of goods movements in the component Inventory Management under Serial Numbers in Goods Movements and in the component Repetitive Manufacturing under Assigning Serial Numbers at Goods Receipt.

Hi,

After outbound delivery the serial number status should be ECUS "at customer site".

But "ESTO" status shows that it is "in stock".

Go to material serial number IQ03, check the serial number history and check the movement of this material. You may be able to find out why this is showing as "ESTO". Check whether you have already reversed the delivery or moved the goods back into storage manually using movement type.
