Multiple good receipts are created for an Inbound delivery

Former Member — Tue, 13 Sep 2016 08:18:37 GMT

Hello All,

SAP is allowing to create multiple good receipts for an inbound delivery document at the same time by the different users.

System is not throwing an error saying already these items have been processed or User XXX is processing this Inbound delivery item.

For example:

Inbound delivery 180002345 has 1 line item of quantity 50 EA; while doing goods receipt, system allows to create GR for qty 100 EA by two different users at the same time.(two material documents created each having qty 50 EA) It doesn't throw an error or warning message, which it has to.

Kindly advise the action or SAP note needs to be implemented.

Thanks

Is this an academic question?

Wouldn't it make more sense to organize your work place and think about your design instead of fighting against an issue that could potentially never come up in reality.

Why are there different people working at the same time on the same receipt? Does the truck driver give each one a copy? or do you do receipts without check the paper work? and if yes how do then the people know that they shall do a receipt for IBD xxxx?

Hi Rajesh,

I think user trying to Post GR w.r. t inbound delivery/PO with confirmation in MIGO transaction.This will always keep the IBD open and allows you post GR till it reaches order quantity.

To restrict posting single GR for for single Inbound deliveries below actions to be taken,

Activity to be restricted-

GR posted w.r.t PO(with confirmation) in MIGO transaction- To be restricted
GR posted w.r.t IBD in MIGO transaction - To be restricted

Process to be followed -

Goods receipt process for POs with confirmation should be completed in transaction- VL32N only.

This transaction will allow user to post single GR w.r.t single IBD only.

Hi Rajesh

If you think you will get only one inbound delivery for every PO Line item, you can use a field called Latest GR Date in Delivery Tab of PO Line item. Set it to a past date, this is as good as putting an end to any GR With date after that date

Latest Possible Goods Receipt

This is the latest acceptable date for goods receipt (GR).

If goods are received after this date, you will receive either a warning
message or an error message, depending on the system setting.
If you receive
an error message, you will not be able to post the GR.
