Acceptance at Origin field in Purchase Order

[Joe_Belluso]

We have a client who import goods from the U.S. into Europe. The incoterms are EXW (ExWorks) which means that the Client takes financial possession of the goods as soon as they leave the US vendor.

In prior versions of SAP ECC, there was a field on the Purchase Order (Line Item Detail > Delivery tab) called "Acceptance at Origin" (field name WEORA).

When this flag was set, you would then be able to receive the goods with Movement Type 107 (Goods Receipt into Blocked Valuated Stock). Then, when the goods physically arrived at the warehouse, you would do a Movement Type 109 to transfer to available unrestricted stock.

In S/4 Cloud, I do not see this field. Does S/4 Cloud have a different best practice to handle Acceptance at Origin / Exworks incoterms?

Thanks in advance,

Joe

Hi Joe,

We are planning to release according content to enable display and maintenance of said field in release 2005, so this would then be coming with your upgrade to that release sometime around mid of may (Q Systms) / mid-end of may (P-Systems)

Attached you can see a screenshot of "Create Purchase Order advanced" aka ME21N Webgui from our 2005 central testsystem where the field "Acceptance at origin" is enabled.

Hi, Thomas.

In my starter system I can now see the flag Aceptance at Origin. Does that mean that the functionality is already enabled? Is this supported for EWM cloud, or it's limited to IM only?

Thank you for your time.

Best regards.

Anastasiya.

Hi Experts;
I couldn't find any way to activate origin accept. process (107/109) for return items. Is there any way to set it ?

Best Regards.

Hi Joe,

The filed is not available in S4HC as yingying mentiond, but you can still post 107/109 against the PO by manually setting the movement type in post goods movement app. I understand it needs manual efforts then.

Kind regards,

Polly

So SAP has no answer on importing goods from other countries in S/4 Cloud? Does someone from SAP know if this is something that is on the roadmap or considered to be addressed? What businesses don't work internationally now?

Hi，Joe:

In SAP ERP ,this Origin Acceptance depends on the configuration with the transaction code OTM3 .

But in S4HC ,no relevant IMG exists in SSCUI anymore.

Perhaps you can try to set the' Stock Type' in PO from Unrestricted use to blocked stock.

Thank you. Small correction: I believe you mean OMT3
