Usage of Function module /SPE/DELV_RESET_DIST_STATUS to change the delivery distribution status

[PrasannaG]

Introduction:

The LE outbound delivery distributed to EWM will have the distribution status as B (Distributed). Once that is done, no change can be made to the LE delivery. To overcome this, we can use the function module /SPE/DELV_RESET_DIST_STATUS to change the distribution status to A (Relevant) or D (Planned for Distribution).

Process to change the delivery distribution status from B (Distributed) to A (Relevant) or D (Planned for Distribution):

STEP 1: Create the Outbound delivery and distribute it to EWM

The Distribution status is shown as B (distributed) at the delivery header.

STEP 2:

Now, navigate to Transaction code SE37.

Enter the function module /SPE/DELV_RESET_DIST_STATUS

Then execute.

STEP 3:

Click on the Value of the parameter IT_DELIVERY_KEYS and provide the delivery number. The Value for the parameter IV_NEW_DISTSTAT should be D (Planned for Distribution) and then executed.

The delivery distribution status is changed to D (Planned for Distribution) in the delivery.

STEP 4:

Similarly, we can change the delivery distribution status to A (Planned for Distribution) as shown below:

Conclusion:

Using function module /SPE/DELV_RESET_DIST_STATUS, we can change the distribution status to A (Relevant) or D (Planned for Distribution) from B (Distributed) for delivery.

Manage delivery change in ERP system via config setting - see "Delv/Chg"

but enabling changes to a delivery document after it has been distributed to EWM is such a bad option

@damaverick Please notice that the function reverses distribution status not only for EWM managed deliveries. That works also for LE-IDW integration.

I do agree, that the function mustn't be used in production environments, but it proves useful when testing integration, especially with 3rd party warehouses.
