Prevent goods receipt for material in EWM

[former_member789511]

There are some materials in stock which are must be stopped to be procured. We would like to prevent goods receipt for this material in EWM system since any restrictions in ERP causes queues in Smq2 and don't prevent goods receipt in EWM. Is there any possibility to prevent goods receipt in EWM for particular materials ?

You can use the process block profile to restrict the movements in and out of the warehouse.

This indicator can be maintained at product master and configured to restrict the relevant processes (GR-INT-GI-PI) with control on error messages as well (Warning/error)

This indicator is available in the warehouse product master warehouse views.

Hi,

what you want to do is called "Goods receipt control" here: https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_ON-PREMISE/9832125c23154a179bfa1784cdc9577a/85705258fd989144e10....

It of course starts with blocking the goods for procurement, but you can also block the GR. This works for embedded EWM (as in the link), but also for decentral EWM.

All the above is no official SAP statement.

And it is EWM. NOT eWM - Duh!

And if your question includes the word "transfer order" - do NOT tag the question with Extended Warehouse Management!

Hi,

Just as a simple idea, you can create new process indicator and determine special warehouse process type, to have no GR bin in the delivery. One would need to maintain delivery manually to post GR.

Second option could be to use special availability group (in the process type) which has no proper mapping to avoid GR, not sure if it would work for delivery.

Hi,

I guess you need to describe your business case a little more in detail.

From the posts I have learned that you want to do "internal movements" - I assume that is internal in EWM. So that stock must have been received in EWM earlier, i.e. before you decide to GR. Are these GRs against a purchase or production order (or the inbound deliveries from them)?

You wrote that materials "must be stopped to be procured" - that can be achieved using material status (in ERP). If the status is set accordingly you cannot create purchase orders ... an no inbound orders for EWM either.

Hello There,

Just maintain the material master record for warehouse management views in MM02, so that user shouldn't be able to post the GR due to insufficient info in Material master record.

Thanks,

No it doesn't help since it blocks internal movements also. Moreover, we need to prevent GR in EWM since otherwise EWM allows to post GR and errors would stuck on SMQ2

if you want to block only procurement then do it through MM06.
