Different Inbound Delivery Document Type for Different STO Doc Type?

[1539777]

Hi Gurus, 

I am trying to see if I can configure different Inbound Delivery Document Types based on Different STO Doc Types.

For STO process, we are using the standard SPED output type to create the Inbound delivery automatically after O/B delivery PGI

We have 2 types of STOs, UB and ZUB based on different scenarios of STOs we do. Both currently have EL as the corresponding Inbound Delivery Document Type. Is it possible to have, say ZEL as the inbound delivery document type for ZUB only? 

TL/DR: How do I configure this?

STO Document Type	Inbound Delivery Doc Type
UB	EL
ZUB	ZEL

Hello

Please do following steps:

1. Create Custom STO Type:

• Configuration:
  • Go to IMG -> Material Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Define Document Types 
  • Create a new entry for your custom STO type 
  • Assign it to the item category "U" 
  • Define the relevant confirmation control key 

2. Create Custom Inbound Delivery Type (if you haven't already):

• Delivery Type: Create a new delivery type (e.g., "ZIN")
• Configuration:
  • Go to IMG -> Logistics Execution -> Shipping -> Deliveries -> Define Delivery Types
  • Create a new entry for your custom delivery type
  • Define the relevant order type (e.g., DL for deliveries not linked to sales orders)
  • Assign the appropriate confirmation control key 

3. Assign the Custom Inbound Delivery Type to the Custom STO Type:

• Configuration:
  • Go to IMG -> Material Management -> Purchasing -> Confirmations -> Set Up Confirmation Control
  • Create a new confirmation control key (e.g., "Z004")
  • Ensure the "GR-Relevant" and "GR Assignment Key" checkboxes are selected
  • Assign your custom inbound delivery type (e.g., "ZIN") to the confirmation control key
  • Assign your custom STO type (e.g., "ZUB") to the confirmation control key 

4. Create STO and Inbound Delivery:

• Create STO:

  • Use transaction ME21N
  • Select your custom STO type (e.g., "ZUB")
  • Maintain the relevant data (material, quantity, etc.)
  • Save the STO
• Create Inbound Delivery:

  • Use transaction VL31N
  • Enter the vendor and purchase order number
  • The system should automatically recognize your custom inbound delivery type based on the STO type and confirmation control settings
  • Save the inbound delivery
• Post Goods Receipt:

  • Use transaction VL32N (Change Inbound Delivery) or VL31N (Create Inbound Delivery)
  • Post the goods receipt for the inbound delivery 

  Hope it's clarifies your query.

Hi Neeraj,

How can you assign the custom delivery type to the custom confirmation control key? We still want to keep the internal confirmation categories as LA with the delivery type EL, and there is nowhere in the confirmation sequence for a custom confirmation control key to specify document types.

Is there anyway to assign different inbound delivery type to same internal confirmation category - '2'- shipping notification

This is incorrect and potentially AI generated.

There is within SAP Customizing no option (within standard) to divert the Inbound Delivery Type for different preceding document types.
Meaning: If you do not want to use EL and want to use ZEL, you can do so changing the IBD Type in 'Define Internal Confirmation Categories'. If you want to use multiple Inbound Delivery types use Custom Logic (ABAP).
