Need explanation on the MENGE value in the OSS note 3382819

[ClineJOMARD]

hi,

In the OSS note 3382819 - MR11/MR11SHOW - Calculation logic for GR/IR clearing, the calculation details for the MR11 cancellation amount are explained.

But in the formula, a variable MENGE is used but this one is not explained. Can someone help me to understand the calculation ?

Thanks in advance for your feedback,

Hello @ClineJOMARD 

As far as I can see, it is the quantity field from the purchase history table, EKBE-MENGE - see the note 1674290 - Invoice Posting Logic - SAP ERP & SAP S/4HANA, that is referred by 3382819 - MR11/MR11SHOW - Calculation logic for GR/IR clearing.

Best regards

Hi Dominik,

Thank you for your quick answer but it is not so obvious. The field MENGE is used to calculate the value of the variables

• WEMNGO = total quantity of goods delivered at the time of the MR11
• REMNGO = total quantity of goods invoiced at the time of the MR11
• WEMNG = total quantity of goods delivered before MR11SHOW
• REMNG = total quantity of goods invoiced before MR11SHOW

But i don't see to what other quantity this can refer to. In one of the formula, it is given :

"Only a part of the exceeded GR quantity is invoiced, which means less quantity invoiced compared to received, REMNG + MENGE < WEMNG ", But I don't understand what it can refers to.

@ClineJOMARD  I've updated my response with a fragment of the 1674290 - Invoice Posting Logic - SAP ERP & SAP S/4HANA note. Hope that clarifies a bit. That's the best I can do.

Hi Dominik,

I read carefully this note, but this is for the calculation of the GR /IR during an invoice posting. For the invoice, the MENGE field refers indeed to the quantity that is entered in the current invoice that you are posting.

In my case, I am in the calculation of the GR/IR posting during the reversal of a MR11 posting. There is no invoice that is currently being posted. In the reversal process, you just select an MR11 posting and click on "reverse". There is no quantity that you entered during the MR11SHOW transaction. That's why I don't understand this MENGE quantity.
