PIR Reduction Strategy 40 with GI bigger than Sales Order

[itelli_gence]

Hi Gurus,

Let me explain a situation in order to know what should be the standar behaviour of SAP.

1- Material with PIRs.

2- When a Sales Order is created, PIR is consumed in MD04 with the quantity specified in sales order item. (OK)

3- When an Outbound Delivery is created and posted GI, PIR is reduced with the quantity issued in GI (OK).

QUESTION

What happen when the quantity of Outbound Delivery is bigger than the quantity specified in sales order item. Pir should be reduced in base to original sales order quantity or should be reduced in base to Outbound Delivery GI bigger quantity?

Thanks!!

Hello

Two different things may happen with a PIR: the consumption and the reduction.

The consumption happens when a sales order is created and it is dynamic, that means, the PIR quantity is not physically changed in the database.

The reduction happens when you post a goods movement and it will physically changed the PIR quantity on the database.

The quantity reduced will depend on the goods movement quantity only, even if it is higher than the quantity originally consumed by the sales order.

Thanks for your fast answer 🙂

Then,for example, if I see a reduction of 100 units when the GI of Delivery was 110 units...Is it an error? Sales Order item is of 100 units (Only exists one GI in the system). EWM could to induce confusion or distorsion the value to reduce?

This example is real in our system 😞
