GR MIGO not possible for WIP Batch

[former_member364554]

Hi Gurus,

we use WIP batches for subcontracting. We are in the process step to receive back the processed material from the vendor. We are trying to perform a GR against the purchase order in MIGO (Movement types 101 and 543, see screenshots). The wip batch is currently in the vendor stock ("stock provided to the vendor"), so the GR should move the wip batch back to "blocked stock".

When we try to post the GR, we receive an error popup by the system and the booking is not possible.

We also tried posting the GR with CO11n, but we get an COGI entry for the consumption of the wip batch from vendor stock (movement failed).

The long text says:

Combination of movement type/special stock/stock type is not possible

Message No. M7361

Diagnosis

The combination of movement type, special stock, and stock type (or batch status) is not defined. You may be trying to post stock to a stock type that is not defined for this stock (for example, blocked stock of material to be provided to vendor or returns blocked stock for sales order stock do not exist in the SAP System).

Procedure

If you have entered this data yourself, correct it.

If the system automatically determined the data (for example, if it tried to post the stock to QI stock because of a quality inspection check), inform your system administrator.

Procedure for System Administration

The entry MAO3 3 is missing from table T156M (quantity posting string).

Do not enter it yourself. It is a system table.

If the user did not enter the data manually, you have to find out how this combination resulted. When posting a goods movement via the MB_CREATE_GOODS_MOVEMENT function module or the method GoodsMovement.CreateFromData, the person calling them up has to check whether the transferred combination of movement type/special stock/stock type (or batch status) is supported by the system.

Any ideas?

Hi Michel,

We have recently used WIP batch functionality for external processing at vendor site and we never saw this error. This step is one of the operation/phase in process order.

We have used MITO_TR to send the material out to vendor and MIGO_GR to receive against purchase order. Once we received the WIP Batch it goes against process order and we will not see in MMBE.

Can you explain your scenario in details? Then I may be able to help you.

Thanks,

Ramesh
