Inbound Delivery Types Assignment to Purchase Order Type NB

[NorddineAKOUAS]

Hello,

I would like to know if it's possible to assign two different types of inbound deliveries to the same purchase order type NB.

I created a new inbound delivery type ZLE, based on the standard delivery type LE. However, when trying to assign it to the confirmation control key, I’m unable to copy or reference the standard LA type.

The requirement is as follows:

For one specific process using PO type NB, we need to work with movement types 103/105.

In another process (also using PO type NB), we require movement types 107/109.

In both cases, an inbound delivery is mandatory.

Is there a way to achieve this setup? Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Hello Ajit, I would like to thank you. My requirement has been resolved using the BAdI. I used the CHANGE_ITEM method to change the item type and BWART, based on the control key in the PO item.

Confirmation control keys in SAP link purchase orders to inbound deliveries. Each confirmation control key allows only one delivery type to be assigned. Since your PO type NB is used for two different processes (103/105 and 107/109), each requiring a different inbound delivery type (LA and ZLE), the limitation prevents assigning both to the same key.

Below are workaround options

Create two separate confirmation control keys. One for the 103/105 movement type process using LA. Another for the 107/109 movement type process using ZLE. Assign the appropriate confirmation control key to the PO item based on the process.

Configure your system to assign different confirmation control keys based on material type, item category, or vendor. This allows dynamic selection of the correct delivery type during PO creation.

Despite separating the control key in the PO, the control key is still associated with confirmation category LA, which cannot be copied. This confirmation category determines the inbound delivery type. I can define two delivery types and two item categories for the inbound delivery, but unfortunately, it's not possible to define multiple confirmation categories.
